Second section

reading comprehension

first part

Text 1

2 1. answer a.

The first sentence of the first paragraph of the article points out that "homework has never been welcomed by students and many parents, especially in recent years, homework has been despised by people." The following content is to simply put forward the actions of school districts in the United States for homework, and lead to the policies of L.A.Unified for homework. The stem of the question is "According to the first paragraph of the article, the current homework …", and the key word is homework, so you can judge the answer from the first sentence. The dry question "now" corresponds to recent years in the original text, and the chosen answer is "partially bitten." Synonymous rewriting, so the answer is a.

Answer c

The first sentence of the second paragraph of the analysis article clearly States that "this policy is formulated to solve the difficulties that students from poor families may encounter when completing their homework." This answers the questions "the main reason for formulating this policy" and "poor students", so the answer is C.

23. Answer A.

The second sentence of the third paragraph of the analysis article points out that "if the homework only accounts for 10% of the grade, it is easy for students to do less than half of the homework, and the report card will not be different." "Homework only accounts for 10% of the score" is the content of the homework policy formulated by L.A.Unified. Therefore, it can be seen from this sentence that with this policy, since there will be no difference in the report card, students will choose to do half the homework, which means the corresponding option is A.24. Answer B.

The key word "unanswered key questions" corresponds to the first sentence of the fourth paragraph, "This policy has not solved any really thorny problems about the family." The specific content of this question is explained by "if", so the correct answer to this question needs to be analyzed. "If the school district thinks that homework is not important to students' learning, the school district should try to reduce or delete homework so that homework does not play any role; On the contrary, if homework is important, it should take an important part in school. "From the content of these two sentences, we can simply draw the conclusion that the policy stipulated by L.A.Unified has not given a clear answer to whether homework plays an important role in students' learning, so the answer is B.

Answer D.

This paper first analyzes the disadvantages of homework, and then puts forward the efforts made by various school districts in the United States. Taking the policy stipulated by L.A.Unified as an example, this paper illustrates the achievements of this policy in various aspects, such as "the policy is imported into aflat, and the one-size-fits-all rule" at the end of the third paragraph and "this policy has not solved any thorny problems about homework" in the first sentence of the fourth paragraph, which shows that the author actually holds a negative attitude towards this policy. C option is "thorny issues about homework". Although this "thorny issue" is mentioned in the article, it is not emphasized. The ultimate goal is still the policy on homework, so option C is excluded. The mistake of option A lies in "interpretation error". The article is an objective interpretation of the policy, and what is wrong is the policy itself, not the interpretation. The reason why candidates with option D may not choose is that they don't understand the meaning of the word "close". The original meaning of the word "way" is way, way and method, and its extension is the meaning of strategy, which is consistent with the connotation of policy in the article, so the answer D is the correct option.

26. Answer A

The author said that "a small part of the rainbow is pink", which means. According to the third line of the first paragraph of the article, however, as a conjunction, it means that the content behind is a negation of the previous content. Before but, it means "pink itself is not bad", and then "such a tiny one-sided" means "what a tiny part of the rainbow" It can be concluded that pink does not represent the whole of a girl's childhood life. So, choose one.

Answer b

According to the second paragraph of the article, you need to judge which option is the correct understanding of color. According to the first sentence of the second paragraph of the article, in the first half, it is said that "it seems inevitable for girls to attach importance to pink, as it exists in their genes for some reason", but the former is denied later, so it is obvious that item A is wrong. According to the seventh line of the second paragraph, pink is actually considered to be a more masculine color, so it can be concluded that option C is wrong. According to the fourth and fifth lines of the second paragraph, we can know that the child in white clothes belongs to the former situation, not the present fact, and the tense of option D refers to the general present tense, which does not match. According to the eighth and ninth lines of the article, we can know that blue symbolizes women, and we can know that blue was once considered as the color of girls, which is in line with the meaning of the article. So, choose B.

28. Answer A

The author believes that our views on children's psychological development are mostly influenced by _ _ _ _. From the first sentence of the third paragraph of the original text, "I didn't realize before that our understanding of children's inherent characteristics is deeply dominated by market trends, including our core view of their psychological development", we can clearly see that the related children's market and its products play an important role in influencing people's views on the psychological development of two-year-olds. B, c and d all misinterpret the meaning of the original text, so the correct answer to this question is a.

Answer c

As can be seen from paragraph 4, the advice to the store is _ _. Option A "Pay attention to the clothes of babies and older children". Looking back at the original text, sentence 1 in paragraph 4 says that "in order to increase sales, manufacturers should create some business opportunities before the clothes of babies and older children", but does not say "pay attention to the clothes of both", so A is wrong. B "Put different sexes in the same important position", which is not mentioned in the original text. Paragraph 4 of the original text only said in the last sentence that "one of the easiest ways to divide the market is to expand the differences between the sexes", so B is wrong; D "Create some buyer's terms", the author just gives an example of "buyer's terms", but this is not the author's suggestion. The real suggestion is C, so C is the correct answer.

Answer c

We can infer that girls' infatuation with pink seems to be _ _. The last two paragraphs of the article are summaries of people's views and concepts by the market and manufacturers, so option C is just the meaning of the question, and the other options are incorrect.

3 1. answer C.

20 10, a federal judge hit the nail on the head and pointed out the core of American biotechnology industry. In 20 10, a federal decision shocked the American biotechnology industry. Later, it was mentioned that the decision was "genes are not patentable", which meant that gene-related projects could not be patented, while "executives were motivated by violence". From the anger, it can be inferred that the correct answer is C, that is, the biotechnology industry hopes that gene-related projects can apply for patents.

Answer c

In the third paragraph of the analysis article, three reasons against patentability of gene-related projects are mentioned. The first is that genes are natural products; The second is that gene patenting will suppress innovation; The third is that the monopoly of genetic patents will limit genetic testing. So the correct answer is C, that is, opponents will think that gene-related patents should rely more on innovation. Answer a is not mentioned in the article, answer d is consistent with the opponent's second reason, and answer b belongs to transitional inference.

33. Answer A

"Companies are now studying how genes interact to find the correlation that may be used to determine the cause of diseases or predict the efficacy of drugs", that is, major companies are currently studying the interaction between genes to find the correlation between them, so as to infer the cause of diseases or predict the effectiveness of drugs through these correlations. Hans scholl explained that the reason why major companies are eager to fight for patents is to "connect the points", which echoes the "interaction and interconnection between diseases" mentioned in the previous sentence, so they choose A. Answer B belongs to the concept of stealing; Answers c and d are not mentioned in the article.

Answer c

The last paragraph of the analysis article mentioned the recent meeting of BIO. "Every meeting is packed". The original meaning of "packed" in this sentence is "packed", but the meaning in this sentence is: packed. That is, the meeting was crowded with people, which reflected everyone's concern about gene patents, so the real answer was C. Answer A had nothing to do with the topic; Answer b is subjective; Answer d is interference. Training lawyers is only part of this meeting.

Answer D.

Generally speaking, the author not only mentioned the efforts made by the biotechnology industry hoping to obtain gene patents, but also mentioned the reasons why the opponents opposed it. The fourth paragraph of the article further mentions the practical problems encountered in the process of obtaining patents for genes. Therefore, the author's multi-gene professional attitude is objective, that is, the answer D.

Answer D.

The topic of analysis is located in the first sentence of the paragraph. So it should be a summary of the whole paragraph. The second sentence says that although unemployment is painful, it also brings benefits in many ways. After the colon, it specifically means that they have changed in their concepts and lifestyles. Therefore, D.A. and B are irrelevant options, and C option refers to makeprofit, which mainly refers to obtaining economic benefits, so it is inconsistent with the original text.

Answer D.

Analyze the colon in the second sentence: they are less materialistic and more economical; At the same time, I realize that others are struggling, that is, in option D, I reconsider my lifestyle and re-examine my lifestyle. Item A is disturbing, but the article says "wake us up from our dreams", so it is wrong. B and c didn't mention it.

Answer b

The analysis is located at the beginning of the second sentence of the third paragraph. The next sentence is based on the keyword mean-spiritedand less inclusive, and option B is the rewriting of this sentence, so it is the correct answer; A belongs to excessive reasoning; The meanings of c and d are obviously reversed.

Answer D.

The analysis is located after the colon of the third sentence in the fourth paragraph: college graduates can adjust themselves quickly and reach a crisis-free state. Option d is consistent with its meaning. C is obviously wrong. "Not all people who step into recession will see their life opportunities dim" shows that not all graduates think the future is dim. Item b is made out of nothing. A is the antonym of the original text.

40. answer a

It can be seen from the last sentence that "they will definitely refresh it" means that difficult times will definitely have an impact on society, so it must be consistent with it. You can't tell whether it is positive or negative from the last paragraph, so both B and D are incorrect. Item A is "irrelevant", which is obviously wrong.

history as the second of the four divisions of ancient Chinese library collection

4 1. answer a.

The answer to this question is locked in the third paragraph, and the second line says that "Petrach began to highlight the virtues of classical heroes", that is, Petrarch emphasized the virtues of classical heroes in his book. Answer a corresponds to this completely.

Answer D.

This topic analysis is located in the fifth line of the third paragraph, focusing on understanding the phrase "turn on its head", which means "completely change sth". Therefore, Nicolo Machiavelli's view is completely opposite to Petrarch's view, which opens up a new situation for understanding the great men in history.

Answer g

The analysis of this topic is located in the fourth line of the fourth paragraph, "Self-help as a classification of valuable life for engineers, industrialists and explorers". Samuel smiles talked about the meaningful lives of engineers, industrialists and explorers in his book Getting Things, and G corresponds to this.

Answer C.

The analysis of this topic is located in the third line of the fifth paragraph, "epoch-making figures represent life that is difficult to minimize." Thomas Carlyle described some epoch-making figures who went through hardships. C corresponds to this answer.

Answer e

This question is located in the fifth line of the sixth paragraph, "History should be the story of the masses and the record of their struggles", and the answer E completely corresponds to this sentence.

Section 3 Translation

When people in developing countries are worried about immigration, they are usually worried about the prospect of leaving their country to go to hospitals and universities in Silicon Valley or developed countries. These workers are the people that countries such as Britain, Canada and Australia hope to attract through immigration laws that give privileges to people with college education.

Many studies have found that those well-educated people from developing countries are likely to choose to emigrate to other countries. In 2004, an extensive survey of Indian families was conducted, and the results showed that about 40% of immigrants received high school education or above. In contrast, among all Indians over the age of 25, only about 3.3% received high school education. "Brain drain" has been puzzling policy makers in poor countries. They are worried that this will damage their economy and cause the loss of technicians badly needed by the country. These technicians may have taught in their universities, worked in their hospitals, or conceived intelligent new products for their factories to produce.

This year's translation topic is brain drain from poor countries, and the content of the topic is easy to understand, which greatly reduces the difficulty of translation. But there are still a few places that may confuse some students.

1) The main clause of the first sentence of the article needs our serious consideration. "They usually worry that their best and brightest people will go to hospitals and universities in Silicon Valley or developed countries."

The object of this sentence is the prospect. When we see "of", we should immediately think of translating "A of B" into "a of b". Here a means "prospect", and the key is to find out what B means. This is precisely the difficulty in understanding this sentence. B means "they are the best and the cleverest", which translates to "they are the most beautiful and the cleverest (group)".

2)

The key to the second sentence of the first paragraph is to understand the two clauses that lead to this sentence. The first that clause is used to modify the properties of workers, and the second is used to modify the properties of rules. The following is a test site that often appears in postgraduate English: clause nesting. For such a sentence, the key is to find the antecedent accurately. According to the principle that a sentence with n conjunctions must have N+ 1 verbs, long sentences can be separated.

3) The word "brain drain" often appears in newspapers and magazines, meaning "brain drain". The meaning of this word should be roughly guessed by context logic, but in the postgraduate entrance examination room, especially after reading and composition, many students may have spent a lot of physical and mental energy, and guessing this word may be very laborious and even give up. This shows that we should pay attention to accumulating such hot words in the usual learning process.

4) "They are worried that it will damage their economy and make them lose much-needed skilled workers.

The key to understanding this sentence is to understand the role of the deprived elements in the sentence structure. Deprivation is deprivation, which is obviously not suitable for literal translation. We can translate it into "the loss of skilled workers" according to the logical relationship. The word "smart" is so simple that all the students know it. It is obviously meaningless to translate "smart" here. Clever means "smart" in addition to "smart". Considering the importance of skilled workers here, we can translate it into "smart".

Dear sir or madam,

I am writing this letter to complain about the quality of the electronic dictionary I bought in your store the other day.

The reason why I am dissatisfied is that I found that the electronic dictionary can't reach my satisfaction. First of all, its appearance is completely different from that published online. Besides, it contains too few words. I want to buy an electronic dictionary with a large vocabulary.

I would be very grateful if you could change it for a satisfactory one. I want to settle this matter before next Friday. Thank you for your consideration. I will look forward to your reply.

You are sincere,

48. Big composition

Here is a table about the job satisfaction of employees in a company, who come from three different age groups, namely, under 40, 40 to 50 and over 50. Specifically, people in their forties are the most dissatisfied with their current working conditions, accounting for 64.0%. In contrast, people over 50 years old are most satisfied with their present situation, accounting for 40.0%. A noteworthy figure is that half of the employees under 40 are ignorant of their own situation.

It turns out that there are many reasons for this. First of all, this is related to the age structure of employees, especially their work and life experiences, in which they play an important role. More importantly, this social problem is likely to be intertwined with the organizational structure of the company they serve.

According to my personal opinion, there are two main factors that should be seriously considered. On the one hand, ordinary people should raise their awareness in this regard. More importantly, relevant companies should increase the welfare of employees. Only by taking these measures effectively can people work with peace of mind and the company benefit the most.
