Ⅲ. Reading Comprehension
(1×2, 30points)
Directions: There are
3 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or
unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A., B., C.
and D.. You should decide on the best choice and write the answer on the Answer
Sheet.
Passage One
Questions 21 to 25 are
based on the following passage.
For gathering
data about individuals or groups at different developmental levels, researchers
can use two related research designs: longitudinal and cross-sectional.
A longitudinal
study is one that measures a behavior or a characteristic of an individual over
a period of time, perhaps decades. An example of such a study is the Berkeley
Growth Study begun in 1928 by Nancy Bayley. The study focused on a group of 74
white, middle-class newborns. As they grew older, extensive measures of their
intellectual, personality, and motor development were recorded. The subjects
were studied for more than thirty years.
The longitudinal
research design is a powerful technique for seeking understandings of the
effects of early experiences on later development. Also, differences in or
stability of behaviors or characteristics at different ages can be determined.
Longitudinal studies, however, are expensive to conduct, time-consuming, and
heavily contingent on the patience and persistence of the researchers.
The findings of a longitudinal study may be jeopardized by relocation of
subjects to another part of the country and by boredom or irritation at
repeated testing. Another disadvantage is that society changes from one time to
another and the subjects participating in the study reflect to some degree such
changes. The methods of study or the questions guiding the researchers may also
change from one time to another. If properly conducted, however, longitudinal
studies can produce useful, direct information about development.
A
cross-sectional study is one in which subjects of differing ages are selected
and compared on a specific behavior or characteristic. They are alike with
respect to socioeconomic status, sex, or educational level. For example, a
researcher may be interested in looking at changes in intelligence over a
thirty-year period. Three groups of subjects, ages ten, twenty, and thirty, may
be selected and tested. Conclusions are drawn from the test data.
The
cross-sectional research design has the clear advantage of being less expensive
to conduct and certainly less time-consuming. The major disadvantage is that
different individuals who make up the study sample have not been observed over
time. No information about past influences on development or about age-related
changes is secured. Like longitudinal studies, the cross-sectional methods
cannot erase the generational influence that exists when subjects studied are
born at different time. Psychologists are now beginning to use an approach that
combines longitudinal and cross-sectional research methods.
21. Which of the following is NOT one of
the disadvantages of a longitudinal research?
A. The subjects
may become irritated at repeated testing.
B. The
participants in the study may not stay in one place for many years.
C. The behavior
of a subject in the study may be measured continuously for many years.
D. Social
changes may be reflected in the behaviors of the subjects participating in the
study.
22. The word “contingent” in the third
paragraph probably means _____.
A. dependent
B. consecutive
C. determined
D. continual
23. Which of the following statements is
true?
A. The subjects
in a cross-sectional research are not of the same age group.
B. The methods
of study in longitudinal research will not change over time.
C. Longitudinal research is reliable only in seeking understandings
of the effects of early experiences on later development.
D. Cross-sectional methods are not usually adopted in studying, for
example, the changes in intelligence over a thirty-year period.
24. One of the differences between cross-sectional
research and longitudinal research is that _____.
A. the latter
usually focuses on only one subject, while the former involves groups of
subjects
B. the former
can be free from the influence of social changes
C. the latter
can be free from the influence of social changes
D. the former
costs less money and takes less time
25. Which of the following statement is
TRUE?
A. Longitudinal
studies always produce useful, direct information about development.
B. The study
conducted by Nancy Bayley lasted from 1928 to 1958.
C. Subjects of a cross-sectional study are different in age but
alike with respect to socioeconomic status, sex, or educational level.
D. Longitudinal
and cross-sectional methods are used for different purposes thus can’t be
combined in research.
【答案与解析】
21.C A选项对应文章第三段中的“boredom or irritation”；D选项对应第三段中的“society changes”；B选项比较隐晦，文章第三段“participating in the study reflect to some degree such changes”研究参与者反应这些变化，可以推测出B。而C是纵向研究的特点但未必就是劣势，故选C。
22.A 这句话说“纵向研究能否完成取决于研究者的耐心与毅力”，可推断其与dependent意思相同。contingent意为“视条件而定的”。
23.A 根据第四段第一句“a cross-sectional study is one in which subjects of differing ages
are selected”可知A项正确。
24.D 第五段第一句说到“The cross-sectional
research…less expensive to conduct and certainly less time-consuming”，因此D项正确。
25.C 根据第三段第一句，A选项的前提是“If
properly conducted”，因此错误。由第二段可知，Nancy Bayley的研究从1928年开始，持续了“more than thirty years”，因此B项错误。由倒数第二段前两句可知C项正确。由最后一段最后一句可知D项错误。
Passage two
Questions 26 to 30 are
based on the following passage,
Apparently
everyone knows that global warming only makes climate more extreme. A hot, dry
summer has triggered another flood of such claims. And, while many interests
are at work, one of the players that benefits the most from this story are the
media: the notion of “extreme” climate simply makes for more compelling news.
Consider Paul
Krugman writing breathlessly in the New York Times about the “rising incidence
of extreme events,” He claims that global warming caused the current drought in
America’s Midwest, and that supposedly record-high corn prices could cause a
global food crisis.
But the United
Nations climate panel’s latest assessment tells us precisely the opposite. For “North
America there is medium confidence that there has an overall slight tendency
toward less dryness”. Moreover, there is no way that Krugman could have
identified this drought as being caused by global warming without a time
machine; Climate models estimate that such detection will be possible by 2048,
at the earliest.
And,
fortunately, this year’s drought appears unlikely to cause a food crisis, as
global rice and wheat supplies retain plentiful. Moreover, Krugman overlooks
inflation: Prices have increased six-fold since 1969. So, while com futures did
set a record of about $8 per bushel in late July, the inflation-adjusted price
of corn was higher throughout most of the 1970s, reaching 516 in 1974.
Finally, Krugman
conveniently forgets that concerns about global warming are the main reason
that corn prices have skyrocketed since 2005. Nowadays 40 percent of corn grown
in the United States is used to produce ethanol, which does absolutely nothing
for the climate, but certainly distorts the price of corn—at the expense of
many of the world’s poorest people.
Bill Mickbben
similarly worries in The Guardian about the Midwest drought and corn prices. He
confidently tells us that raging wildfires from New Mexico and Colorado to
Siberia are “exactly” what the early stages of global warming look like.
In fact, the latest
overview of global wildfire suggests that fire intensity has declined over the
past 70 years and is now close to its preindustrial level.
When
well-meaning campaigners want us to pay attention to global warming, they often
end up pitching beyond the facts. And, while this may seem justified by a noble
goal, such “policy by people” tactics rarely work, and often backfire.
Remember how, in
the wake of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, AI Gore claimed that we were in store
for ever more destructive hurricanes? Since then, hurricane incidence has
dropped off the charts. Exaggerated claims merely fuel public distrust and
disengagement.
That is
unfortunate, because global warming is a real problem, and we do need to,
address it.
26. In what way do the media benefit from
extreme weather?
A. They can
attract people’s attention to their reports.
B. They can
choose from a greater variety of topics.
C. They can
make themselves better known.
D. They can
give voice to different views.
27. What is the author’s comment on Kurgan’s
claim about the current drought in America’s Midwest?
A. A time
machine is needed to testify to its truth.
B. It is based
on an erroneous climate model.
C. It will
eventually get proof in 2048.
D. There is no
way to prove its validity.
28. What is the chief reason for the rise
in corn prices according to the author?
A. Demand for
food has been rising in the developing countries.
B. A
considerable portion of corn is used to produce green fuel.
C. Climate
change has caused corn yields to drop markedly.
D. Inflation
rates have been skyrocketing since the 1970s.
29. What does the author say about global
wildfire incidence over the past 70 years?
A. It has got
worse with the rise in extreme weathers.
B. It signals
the early stages of global warming.
C. It has
dropped greatly.
D. It is
related to drought.
30. What does the author think of the
exaggerated claims in the media about global warming?
A. They are
strategies to raise public awareness.
B. They do a
disservice to addressing the problem.
C. They
aggravate public distrust about science.
D. They create
confusion about climate change.
【答案与解析】
26.A 第一段最后一句说到“the notion of ‘extreme’ climate simply makes for more compelling
news”，由此可见，极端天气可以给媒体带来更引人注目的报道。
27.D 由第三段“there is no way that Krugman could have identified…”可知，作者认为没有办法证明Krugman的断言的有效性。
28.B 第五段中说到“concerns about global warming”是玉米价格飞涨的主要原因，如今美国40%的玉米用于生产乙醇，后果是“certainly distorts the price of corn”，因此B项正确。
29.C 倒数第四段说到“fire intensity has declined over the past 70 years”，因此C项正确。
30.B 由倒数第三段可知，作者认为这些夸张言论“rarely work, and often backfire”，因此B项正确。
Passage 3
Questions 31 to 35 are
based on the following passage
For most of the 20th century, Asia asked
itself what it could learn from the modern, innovating West. Now the question must be reversed: what can the
West’s overly indebted and sluggish nations
learn from a flourishing Asia?
Just a few
decades ago, Asia’s two giants were stagnating under faulty economic
ideologies. However, once China began embracing free-market reforms in the
1980s, followed by India in the 1990s, both countries achieved rapid growth.
Crucially, as they opened up their markets, they balanced market economy with
sensible government direction. As the Indian economist Amartya Sen has wisely
said, the invisible hand of the market has often relied heavily on the visible
hand of government.
Contrast this
middle path with America and Europe, which have each gone ideologically
overboard in their own ways. Since the 1980s, America has been increasingly
clinging to the ideology of uncontrolled free markets and dismissing the role
of government—following Ronald Reagan’s idea that—government is not the
solution to our problem; government is the problem.
Of course, when
the markets came crashing down in 2007, it was decisive government intervention
that saved the day. Despite this fact, many Americans are still strongly
opposed to “big government”.
If Americans
could only free themselves from their antigovernment doctrine, riley would
begin to see that America’s problems are not insoluble. A few sensible federal
measures could put the country back on the right path. A simple consumption tax
of, say, 5% would significantly reduce the country’s huge government deficit
without damaging productivity. A small gasoline tax would help free America
from its dependence on oil imports and create incentives for green energy
development. In the same way, a significant reduction of wasteful agricultural
subsidies could also lower the deficit. But in order to take advantage of these
common-sense solutions, Americans will have to put aside their own attachment
to the idea of smaller government and less regulation. American politicians
will have to develop the courage to follow what is taught in all American
public-policy schools: that there are good taxes and bad taxes. Asian countries
have embraced this wisdom, and have built sound long-term fiscal policies as a
result.
Meanwhile,
Europe has fallen prey to a different ideological trap: the belief that
European governments would always have infinite resources and could continue
borrowing as if there were no tomorrow. Unlike the Americans, who felt that the
markets knew best, the Europeans failed to anticipate how the markets would
react to their endless borrowing. Today, the European Union is creating a $580
billion fund to ward off sovereign collapse. This will buy the EU time, but it
will not solve the bloc’s larger problem.
31. What has contributed to the rapid
economic growth in China and India?
A. Free market
plus government intervention.
B. Heavy reliance
on the hand of government.
C. Copying
western-style economic behavior.
D. Timely
reform of government at all levels.
32. What does Ronald Reagan mean by saying—government
is the problem?
A. Government
action is key to solving economic problems.
B. Many social
problems arise from government inefficiency.
C. Many social
ills are caused by wrong government policies.
D. Government
regulation hinders economic development.
33. What stopped the American economy from
collapsing in 2007?
A. Cooperation
between the government and businesses.
B.
Self-regulatory repair mechanisms of the free market.
C. Effective
measures adopted by the government.
D. Abandonment
of big government by the public.
34. What is the author’s suggestion to the
American public in face of the government deficit?
A. They give up
the idea of smaller government and less regulation.
B. They put up
with the inevitable sharp increase of different taxes.
C. They urge
the government to revise its existing public policies.
D. They develop
green energy to avoid dependence on oil import.
35. What is the problem with the European
Union?
A. Conservative
ideology.
B. Excessive
borrowing.
C. Lack of
resources.
D. Shrinking
market.
【答案与解析】
31.A 由第二段可知，中国与印度经济繁荣的原因是“balanced market economy with sensible government direction”，因此A项正确。
32.D 第三段中提到美国越来越坚持不受控制的自由市场的意识形态，而摒弃了政府的作用。这一特点是追随罗纳德·里根说的这句话，因此他的这句话意在否定政府在市场调节中的作用。
33.C 由第四段可知，“it was decisive government intervention that saved the day”，因此C项正确。
34.A 倒数第二段提出了一些解决财政赤字的措施，后面说到要使这些措施奏效，美国人必须“put aside their own attachment to the idea of smaller government and
less regulation”，因此A项正确。
35.B 由最后一段可知，欧盟的问题在于“the belief that European governments would always have infinite
resources and could continue borrowing as if there were no tomorrow”，因此B项正确。
Ⅳ. Translate the
following passage into English (20 points)
中华传统节日顺天时而成俗，形成于农业文明时期。人类在自然条件下进行生产活动，与季节、物候、天文等自然现象和规律关系非常密切。传统年节体系兼顾太阳、月亮与地球、人类的关系，同农耕社会民众劳逸结合的需要相适应，依照自然节律，适应气候周期的规律，形成时间框架：中国年是自然时序更新的一个周期，隆冬休闲之后，一元复始万象更新，燃起新的希望。元宵节是过年的压轴戏，狂欢热闹一番就投入新的劳作。清明时节春意盎然生机勃发，在春播春种之时感谢先人和大自然赐给生命和生机。端午节天气渐热百虫孳生，及时送灾驱疫、健身保平安。

【参考范文】
Importance
of Holistic Health
Holistic health
is a concept in medical practice upholding that all aspects of people’s needs,
psychological, physical and social, and mentally should be taken into account
and seen as a whole. The concept of holistic health is very important, because
it gives people new sight in human health and results in a holistic approach.
Holistic health
is based on the law of nature that a whole is made up of interdependent parts. People
begin to see human body as a whole instead of detached parts. The earth is made
up of systems, such as air, land, water, plants and animals. In the same way,
an individual is a whole made up of interdependent parts, which are the
physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. When one part is not working at its
best, it impacts all of other parts. Furthermore, the whole person, including
all of the parts, is constantly interacting with everything in the surrounding
environment.
Another reason
why holistic health is important is that it provides people a new approach in
therapy. A holistic approach to healing goes beyond just eliminating symptoms. Even
though the irritation is eliminated, the real problem still exists. In holistic
medicine, a symptom is considered a message that something needs attention. So,
the symptom is used as a guide to look below the surface for the root cause.
Then what really needs attention can be confirmed.
Holistic Health
is not itself a method of treatment, but an approach to how treatment should be
applied. Holistic concepts of health and fitness view achieving and maintaining
good health as requiring more than just taking care of the various singular
components that make up the physical body, additionally incorporating aspects
such as emotional and spiritual well-being. The goal is a wellness that
encompasses the entire person, rather than just eliminating physical pain or
disease.
【解析】
本题要求就“Importance of Holistic Health”这一话题写一篇300字左右的文章。“Holistic Health”指的是整体健康。
本文在第一段给出了holistic health的定义，即整体健康是医疗实践中的一个概念，它主张人们的需要、心理、身体、社会和精神的各个方面都应该考虑，并视为一个整体。并指出其重要性在于给了人们全新的视角来看待人类健康，并且带来了新的整体治疗方法。第二段和第三段分别对这两个重要性进行了进一步说明。第四段进行了总结，并指出整体健康本身不是一种治疗方法，而是一种应如何应用治疗的方法。
