(20 points)1．Directions: In this section, you are asked to write an essay based on the following information. Make comments and express your own opinion. You should write at least 150 words. 近年来，一些学生努力学习英语，但是却忽略了汉语的学习，认为它并不重要。

这样下去势必会出现一些问题。

你的看法如何?正确答案：Nowadays, while an increasing number of people are busy learning foreign languages, the attention to the study of our mother tongue is on the decline. Should such a trend continue, it would definitely lead to an undesirable result in the long run. The reasons for our ignorance of the study of Chinese are obvious. Firstly, globalization plays a major role in the prevalence of the nowadays internationally used language-English, distracting us from studying our own language. Secondly, our schools are not attaching any importance to the education of Chinese. The lesson hours of Chinese are far fewer than those of English, and English has now even crowded into the teaching syllabus of primary schools, occupying the time that pupils should otherwise spend studying Chinese. In order to change the situation, efforts from governments and schools alike should be made. It is essential to set more Chinese lessons, and even more importantly, students’ awareness of the study of our own language should be raised. After all, the promotion of our language is the key to the prosperity of our nation’s culture.解析：本题要求考生就“注重汉语学习”提出自己的看法。

Answer the questions below each text by choosing [A], [B],[C]or [D].Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Power and water are interconnected and that has serious consequences for the American Westas it grapples with climate change. By now, everyone knows you save energy by turning out lights. And you conserve water by taking shorter showers. But it´s just as true that saving water may be one of the most effective ways to save energy—and vice versa. "It´s a ´buy one, get one free´deal," said Douglas Kenney, a professor at the University of Colorado Law School and the editor of an upcoming book that explores the nexus of water and energy.In California today, just delivering water accounts for 20 percent of the state´s energy consumption. It takes power to gather water, purify water, and distribute water, especially in places like southern California where water is piped hundreds of miles to supply Los Angeles´sprawling demands.Nationally, energy production sucks more water from freshwater sources than any other sector except agriculture. It takes water to create the power we use to drive our cars, transport our groceries, and run our toaster ovens. Virtually every source of electricity in a typical American home or manufacturing plant—whether it comes from hydroelectricity, coal, natural gas, nuclear, biofuels, or even concentrated solar—also requires water. Lots of water.That´s a growing problem, because in many places, finding water for energy isn´t easy— and it´s bound to get tougher as energy demands soar and climate change alters hydrological cycles in already arid regions. The energy sector is the fastest-growing water consumer in the United States, according to a January 2011 Congressional Research Service report. Nationally, that´s a challenge, but regionally it could be a calamity. As the Congressional Research report notes, "much of the growth in the energy sector´s water demand is concentrated in regions with already intense competition over water." The connection between energy and water—and the precariousness of that link in the western United States—is exemplified in a gigantic plug of concrete stopping the muddy Colorado River above Las Vegas, otherwise known as Hoover Dam. At the ceremony inaugurating the Hoover Dam provided the two key ingredients—water and power—that freed the Southwest and southern California to go on a 75-year growth spurt. Lake Mead now supplies water to more than 22 million people, and it produces more than four billion kilowatts of electricity per year.The Colorado River, lifeblood of seven western states, is already as overdrawn as the federal treasury. Drought conditions during most of the 21st century have forced water managers to plan for a day when the region´ s vast system of dams and reservoirs no longer have enough water to store. Already, utilities have to scramble to respond on days when everybody in Phoenix, Las Vegas and Los Angeles wants to crank their air conditioners during the same heat wave.第21题What does "vice versa" (Line 3, Para. 1) refer to?A.Saving water and saving energy could happen meanwhile.B.Wasting water may be one of the fastest ways to waste energy.C.Saving water may be one of the most effective ways to save energy.D.Saving energy may be one of the most effective ways to save water.第22题Which of the following statement is TRUE?A.Energy production sucks water mostly.B.We fuel our cars and run our toaster ovens with water.C.Almost every source of electricity in home or factory requires water.D.Coal, natural gas, nuclear, biofuels require water, however solar does not.第23题It can be inferred from the passage that the Congressional Research Service report considers the U. S. energy sector______.A.efficientB.praiseworthyC.insignificantD.spiny第24题Which of the following can substitute for "overdrawn" (Line 1, Para. 6)?A.Deficient.B.Abundant.C.Significant.D.Prompt.第25题The most appropriate title for this passage could be______.A.Electricity Needs WaterB.Save the Colorado RiverC.How to Save WaterD.Saving Energy and Conserving Water上一题下一题(26~30/共20题)Section ⅡReading ComprehensionDirections :Read the following four terts.

Without the throb of a synthesiser or a guitar´s twang, shoppers would sense something missing as they tried on jeans or filled up trolleys. Specialists like Mood Media, which bought Muzak in 2011, devise audio programmes to influence the feel of shops and cater to customers´ tastes. The idea is to entertain, and thereby prolong the time shoppers spend in stores, says Claude Nahon, the firm´s international chief. Music by famous artists works better than the generic stuff that people associate with Muzak. The embarrassing brand name was dropped in 2013.Online shopping is an under-explored area of merchandising musicology. A new study commissioned by eBay, a shopping website, aims to correct that. Some 1,900 participants were asked to simulate online shopping while listening to different sounds. Some results were unsurprising. The noise of roadworks and crying babies soured shoppers´ views of the products on offer. Chirruping birds encouraged sales of barbecues but not blenders or board games.Sounds associated with quality and luxury seemed to be hazardous for shoppers´ wallets. The study found classical music and restaurant buzz caused them to overestimate the quality of goods on offer and to pay more than they should. That backs up earlier research which found that shoppers exposed to classical music in a wine store bought more expensive bottles than those hearing pop.EBay wants consumers to avoid such unhealthy influences when shopping online. It has blended birdsong, dreamy music and the sound of a rolling train—thought to be pleasant but notoverly seductive—to help them buy more sensibly. Retailers could presumably counter by turning up the Chopin. "Classical music does seem to be the way to go" if your only interest is the narrow one of squeezing as much money as possible from your clientele, says the study´s author, Patrick Fagan, a lecturer at Goldsmiths, part of the University of London.Few traditional shops are likely to use that tactic. H&M, a clothes retailer, airs "trendy, up-tempo" music from new artists, while Nespresso´s coffee boutiques go for "lounge-y" sounds, says Mr. Nahon. Grocery stores, with a broad following, play top 40 hits. The tempo tends to be slower in the mornings, when shoppers are sparser and older, and becomes more quick and lively as the day goes on.第26题The brand name Muzak was dropped in 2013 because it______.A.was outdatedB.was bought by Mood Media in 2011C.was often associated with generic musicD.entertained customers better第27题The sound of______may increase sales of board games.A.roadworksB.crying babiesC.chirruping birdsD.classic music第28题The word "hazardous"(Para. 3)probably means______.A.safeB.dangerousC.helpfulD.lucky第29题The sound which helps customers buy more sensibly______.A.belongs to classical musicB.includes the sound of a rolling trainC.sounds noisy and unpleasantD.is overly seductive第30题It can be inferred that a fashion shop should play______to attract customers.A.trendy and up-tempo musicB.lounge-y musicC.slow and tender musicD.quick and lively music上一题下一题(31~35/共20题)Section ⅡReading ComprehensionDirections :Read the following four terts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing [A], [B],[C]or [D].Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Not too many decades ago it seemed "obvious" both to the general public and to sociologists that modern society has changed people´ s natural relations, loosened their responsibilities to kin and neighbors, and substituted in their place superficial relationships with passing acquaintances. However, in recent years a growing body of research has revealed that the "obvious" is not true. It seems that if you are a city resident, you typically know a smaller proportion of your neighbors than you do if you are a resident of a smaller community. But, for the most part, this fact has few significant consequences. It does not necessarily follow that if you know few of your neighbors you will know no one else.Even in very large cities, people maintain close social ties within small, private social worlds. Indeed, the number and quality of meaningful relationships do not differ between more and less urban people. Small-town residents are more involved with kin than are big-city residents. Yet city dwellers compensate by developing friendships with people who share similar interests and activities. Urbanism may produce a different stifle of life, but the quality of life does not differ between town and city. Nor are residents of large communities any likelier to display psychological symptoms of stress or alienation, a feeling of not belonging, than are residents of smaller communities. However, city dwellers do worry more about crime, and this leads them to a distrust of strangers.These findings do not imply that urbanism makes little or no difference. If neighbors are strangers to one another, they are less likely to sweep the sidewalk of an elderly couple living next door or keep an eye out for young trouble makers. Moreover, there may be a link between a community´s population size and its social heterogeneity. For instance, sociologists have found much evidence that the size of a community is associated with bad behavior including gambling, drugs, etc. Large-city urbanites are also more likely than their small-town counterparts to have a cosmopolitan outlook, to display less responsibility to traditional kinship roles, to vote for leftist political candidates, and to be tolerant of nontraditional religious groups, unpopular political groups, and so-called undesirables. Everything considered, heterogeneity and unusual behavior seem to be outcomes of large population size.第31题Which of the following statements best describes the organization of the first paragraph?A.Two contrasting views are presented.B.An argument is examined and possible solutions given.C.Research results concerning the quality of urban life are presented in order of time.D.A detailed description of the difference between urban and small-town life is given.第32题According to the passage, it was once a common belief that urban residents_____.A.did not have the same interests as their neighborsB.could not develop long-standing relationshipsC.tended to be associated with bad behaviorually had more friends第33题One of the consequences of urban life is that impersonal relationships among neighbors_____.A.disrupt people´ s natural relationsB.make them worry about crimeC.cause them not to show concern for one anotherD.cause them to the suspicious of each other第34题It can be inferred from the passage that the bigger a community is_____.A.the better its quality of lifeB.the more similar its interestsC.the more tolerant and open-minded it isD.the likelier it is to display psychological symptoms of stress第35题What is the passage mainly about?A.Similarities in the interpersonal relationships between urbanites and small town dwellers.B.Advantages of living in big cities as compared with living in small townsC.The positive role that urbanism plays in modern life.D.The strong feeling of alienation of city inhabitants.上一题下一题(36~40/共20题)Section ⅡReading ComprehensionDirections :Read the following four terts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing [A], [B],[C]or [D].Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.How best to solve the pollution problems of a city sunk so deep within sulfurous clouds that it was described as hell on earth? Simply answered: Relocate all urban smoke-creating industry and encircle the metropolis of London with sweetly scented flowers and elegant hedges.In fact, as Christine L. Corton, a Cambridge scholar, reveals in her new book, London Fog, this fragrant anti-smoke scheme was the brainchild of John Evelyn, the 17th-century diarist. King Charles II was said to be much pleased with Evelyn´ s idea, and a bill against the smoky nuisance was duly drafted. Then nothing was done. Nobody at the time, and nobody right up to the middle of the 20th century, was willing to put public health above business interests.And yet it´s a surprise to discover how beloved a feature of London life these multicolored fogs became. A painter, Claude Monet, fleeing besieged Paris in 1870, fell in love with London´s vaporous, mutating clouds. He looked upon the familiar mist as his reliable collaborator. Visitors from abroad may have delighted in the fog, but homegrown artists lit candles and vainly scrubbed the grime from their gloom-filled studio windows. "Give us light!" Frederic Leighton pleaded to the guests at a Lord Mayor´ s banquet in 1882, begging them to have pity on the poor painter.The more serious side of Corton´ s book documents how business has taken precedence over humanity where London´ s history of pollution is concerned. A prevailing westerly wind meant that those dwelling to the east were always at most risk. Those who could afford it lived elsewhere. The east was abandoned to the underclass. Lord Palmerston spoke up for choking East Enders in the 1850s, pointing a finger at the interests of the furnace owners. A bill was passed, but there was little change. Eventually, another connection was established: between London´ s perpetual veil of smog and its citizens´ cozily smoldering grates. Sadly, popular World War I songs like "Keep the Home Fires Burning" didn´t do much to encourage the adoption of smokeless fuel.It wasn ´t until what came to be known as the "Great Killer Fog" of 1952 that the casualty rate became impossible to ignore and the British press finally took up the cause. It was left to aMember of Parliament to steer the Clean Air Act into law in 1956. Within a few years, even as the war against pollution was still in its infancy, the dreaded fog began to fade.Corton´s book combines meticulous social history with a wealth of eccentric detail. Thus we learn that London´s ubiquitous plane trees were chosen for their shiny, fog-resistant foliage. It´s discoveries like these that make reading London Fog such an unusual and enlightening experience.第36题Which of the following can be inferred from Paragraph 2?A.The fragrant anti-smoke scheme was inspired by John Evelyn´ s child.B.King Charles II was not actually satisfied with Evelyn´ s idea.C.The process of drafting the bill against the smoky nuisance was slow.D.It wasn´ t until the middle of the 20th century that someone willingly put public health above commercial interests.第37题The word "grime"(Para. 3)is closest in meaning to______.A.fogB.dirtC.frostD.paint第38题Which of the following would be most heavily affected by London´s pollution according to Corton´ s book?A.rich dwellers in the east.B.the underclass in the west.C.East London´ s slum dwellers.D.servants of furnace owners.第39题The author mainly shows in the last but one paragraph that______.A.Great Killer Fog led to huge mortalityB.The British press was also playing a big roleC.It was a long way for Clean Air Act to be passedD.reducing the air pollution worked though it was in the primary stage第40题There were plane trees everywhere in London because they_____.A.could resist fog and hazeB.were related to social historyC.contained a wealth of eccentric detailD.were shiny and beautified the environment上一题下一题(41~45/共5题)Part BDirections :Read the following tert and decide whether each of the statements is true or false.

Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.[A]Monitor your alcohol use[B]Pay attention to table manners[C]Don´ t be a gossip[D]Network with higher-ups[E]Keep the conversation light[F]Dress appropriately[G]Make new friendsFor young workers, holiday parties can be a wonderful opportunity to celebrate a successful year gone by, catch up with colleagues and hobnob with senior executives to try to get ahead. But a host of challenges confront young employees—from figuring out whom to bring to walking the fine line between being friendly and being flirty. Some do´ s and don ´ts when it comes to these events:__41__If you´ re new to the company, talk to co-workers who have attended previous office functions to get a sense of what you should wear. Dress conservatively, not "like you´re going to a club in Vegas, "says Tom Gimbel, CEO of staffing firm LaSalle Network in Chicago. But, he adds, don´t take it "to the point where(you´re)wearing a suit where everybody else is wearing jeans."__42__Steer clear of talking about those layoffs or pay freezes that have hit morale, experts advise. "Try to keep the conversation upbeat," says Barbara Pachter, president of Pachter & Associates, a business-etiquette and communications firm in Cherry Hill, N.J. "If you´re merging, that could be an exciting thing,(or if)you´re adding new product lines, that could be an exciting thing" to talk about.__43__While it´ s fun to indulge in rumors about colleagues, you don´ t want to be known as the person who´s always spreading juicy gossip. "You want to be known for your work ethic, you want to be known for the work product that you put out, and at a holiday party, you don´t want to be the one telling everybody who´ s making out with whom and who´ s fighting with whom," says Mr. Gimbel. Instead, he encourages people to stick to safe topics like sports, entertainment and what´ s going on in the world.__44__Even if you´re intimidated by the clique of VPs huddling in their own circle, don´t pass up the opportunity to meet these people, who could be interviewing you when you´ re up for your next promotion. Look for an opening to chime in on a topic that you know about.If they don´t already know you, introduce yourself and say how long you´ve been with the company and what you do. Afterward, if you feel like you connected with someone senior, send them a follow-up email saying it was nice to meet them, says Ms. Pachter. "What have you got to lose?"__45__Holiday parties are one of the few workplace events where imbibing is allowed and even encouraged to get people relaxed. However, just because alcohol is free-flowing at the bar doesn´t mean you should take that as a license to reprise your college frat parties."Most people head toward the bar and the buffet when they get to a holiday party, and if they drink on an empty stomach they tend to get inebriated and then they could say the wrong thing or do the wrong thing," says Ms. Whitmore. "No. 1 rule is: Don´t drink too much, monitor youralcohol intake. Usually, one or two drinks is plenty."第41题第42题第43题第44题第45题上一题下一题(1/1)Part CDirections: Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. (10 points)第46题Hallowell argues in his new book, Driven to Distraction at Work: How to Focus and Be More Productive, that when you feel real or imagined concerns piling on, share them with a friend, and there´s a better chance that aimless anxiety will change into problem-solving. He believes that worrying alone is one of the major reasons that people can´t focus, both at work and elsewhere in their lives.Worrying alone does not have to be toxic, but it tends to become toxic because in isolation we lose perspective. We tend to globalize, catastrophize, when no one is there to act as a reality check. Our imaginations run wild.Indeed, Samuel Johnson, a severe worrier himself, called worry a "disease of the imagination". When we worry alone we risk losing touch with reality, becoming paralyzed in worry, making bad decisions, and even getting sick, as toxic worry depresses immune function. ___________上一题下一题(1/1)Section WritingPart A第47题Write a letter of about 100 words to your American friend Jam, recommending your Chinese friend Han Ling to teach him Chinese.You should include the details you think necessary.You should write neatly on the ANSWER SHEET.Do not use your own name.

(10 points)The news about vitamins keeps getting worse. Many studies published in the last few years shows that a variety of popular supplements don’t do anything to reduce the risk of developing heart disease, stroke or a variety of cancers. But what about multivitamins? These combination pills, which【C1】______10 to 30 vitamins and【C2】______, are the most popular supplements sold in America. A report published recently suggests they shouldn’t be. The study【C3】______161,808 participants in the Women’s Health Initiative, a long-term effort to【C4】______risk factors for cancer, heart disease and bone health in elderly women.【C5】______in the nationwide study included white, black, Asian and Native American women.

考研英语模拟试题二及答案解析（word版）（6）Sample FourDirections：You are going to read a list of headings and a text about Backlogs of History. Choose the most suitable heading from the list A-F for each numbered paragraph (41-45)。

The first and last paragraphs of the text are not numbered. There is one extra heading which you do not need to use. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. (10 points)[A] Passion for personal and familial archival collection.[B] Reception of a hospital delivery bill.[C] Overabundance of trivial personal documents.[D] Explosion of public documents.[E] It is imperative to put archival policies into perspective.[F] What tactics should be adopted in document-saving?One morning a few years ago an envelope arrived from my parents containing the bill from New Rochelle Hospital for my delivery，in 1952. The contents of a basement or attic were being culled，and the bill had turned up in one of the many cardboard reliquaries that have long lent a kind of ballast to my childhood home. The hospital's total charge for a five-day stay including drugs and phone calls， came to $187.86. I was amazed at the cost， to be sure. But I was also struck by something else：that among all those decades' worth of family documents my parents had looked through， the delivery bill was the only thing they thought of sufficient interest to pass along.41?At some point most of us realize that having a personalarchival strategy is an inescapable aspect of modern life： one has to draw the line somewhere. What should the policy be toward children's drawings and report cards? Toward personal letters and magazine clippings? People work out answers to such questions，usually erring，I suspect，on the side of over-accrual of rubbish documents. Almost everyone seems to save—or “curate，” as archaeologist says—issues of National Geographic. That is why in garbage landfills copies of that magazine are rarely found in isolation; rather， they are found in herds，when an entire collection has been discarded after an owner has died or moved.42?I happen to be an admirer of the archiving impulse and an inveterate archivist at the household level. Though not quite one of those people whom public-health authorities seem to run across every few years， with a house in which neatly bundled stacks of newspaper occupy all but narrow aisles， I do tend to save almost everything that is personal and familial， and even to supplement this private hoard with oddities of a more public nature—a calling card of Thomas Nast's， for instance， and Kim Philby copy of the Joy of Cooking.43?I cannot help wondering， though， whether as a nation we are compiling archives at a rate that will exceed anyone's ability ever to make sense of them. A number of observers have cited the problem of “information overload” as if it were a recent development， largely the consequence of computers. In truth，the archive backlog has been a problem for millennia. Historians obviously have problems when information is scarce，but it's not hard to see a very different problem emerging as sourcematerial becomes spectacularly overabundant.44?Leave aside the task of assessing an entire epoch and consider what is required in purely physical terms to preserve even a single prominent person's lifetime documentary output. Benjamin Disraeli's correspondence survived down to the level of what today would be an E-mail message：“My darling， I shall be home for dinner at 1/2 pt 7. In haste， Your，Dis.” Woodrow Wilson left so much behind that the historian Arthur S. Link spent his entire career at Princeton University annotating and publishing Wilson's personal papers， in sixty-nine volumes.45?Is it preposterous to begin thinking of some of our archives as the new tels? Tels are the mounds that layer upon layer of former cities make; they are everywhere in the Middle East，harboring the archaeological record of thousands of years of human history. But there are too many of them for more than a few ever to be excavated systematically and understanding what's in even those few takes decades if not centuries.Don't get me wrong： I am not proposing that we discard any thing at all. One rarely knows in advance what will turn out to be of interest or importance and what should have gone directly into the oubliette. It is always delightful when something is discovered. But information does have its natural predators，and it may be that sometimes natural processes work out for the best.Part CDirections：Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation should bewritten neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2. (10 points)Immigrants adoption of English as their primary language is one measure of assimilation into the larger United States society. Generally languages define social groups and provide justification for social structures. Hence， a distinctive language sets a cultural group off from the dominant language group.(46)Throughout United States history this pattern has resulted in one consistent，unhappy consequence discrimination against members of the cultural minority Language differences provide both a way to rationalize subordination and a ready means for achieving it.Traditionally， English has replaced the native language of immigrant groups by the second or third generation. Some characteristics of today's Spanish-speaking population，however，suggest the possibility of a departure from this historical pattern. Many families retain ties in Latin America and move back and forth between their present and former communities. (47)This “revolving door” phenomenon， along with the high probability of additional immigrants from the south，means that large Spanish-speaking communities are likely to exist in the United States for the indefinite future.This expectation underlies the call for national support for bilingual education in Spanish-speaking communities' public schools. Bilingual education can serve different purposes.(48)However， in the 1960s， such programs were established to facilitate the learning of English so as to avoid disadvantaging children in their other subjects because of their limited English. More recently，many advocates have viewed bilingual education as a means to maintain children's native languages and cultures. The issue is important for people with different pole toseparatism at the other. To date，the evaluations of bilingual education's impact on learning have been inconclusive. The issue of bilingual education has， nevertheless， served to unite the leadership of the nation's Hispanic communities. (49)Grounded in concerns about status that are directly traceable to the United States history of discrimination against Hispanics， the demand for maintenance of the Spanish language in the schools is an assertion of the worth of a people and their culture. If the United States is truly a multicultural nation—that is， if it is one culture reflecting the contributions of many—this demand should be seen as a demand not for separation but for inclusion.More direct efforts to force inclusion can be misguided. For example， movement to declare English the official language do not truly advance the cohesion of a multicultural nation. They alienate the twenty million people who do not speak English as their mother tongue. They are unnecessary since the public's business is already conducted largely in English. (50)Further，given the present state of understanding about the effects of bilingual education on learning， it would be unwise to require the universal use of English. Finally， it is for parents and local communities to choose the path they will follow， including hoe much of their culture they want to maintain for their children.。

In your writing, you should 1) interpret the chart, and 2) give your comments. You should write about 150 words.正确答案：The bar chart shows the reasons leading to teenage students’declining fitness. As can be seen, 84% of the respondents think the exam-oriented system is the leading cause, followed by a lack of exercise routine (74%), PE lessons being ignored (65%), computer and electronic products (64%). In addition, some other causes are mentioned, including unhealthy resting schedule (58%), lack of sports facilities (48%), dieting structure (37%), and unqualified teachers (19%). The survey results reflect the fact that students are burdened by the exam-oriented system, and are deprived of their time and opportunity to exercise their body. With the tight study schedule, many students are overwhelmed by practice tests, assignments and exams. To ensure students’physical well-being, it is advisable that schools organize routine activities to encourage students to do exercise. For instance, some free time should be planned in the daily schedule to encourage students to do whatever sports that interest them. In shout, students’fitness can be greatly improved if due attention is given.解析：该图表显示了青少年体质下降的原因调查。
