Questions 6-7 are based on the following passage.

The critic Edmund Wilson was not a self-conscious

letter writer or one who tried to sustain studied mannerisms.

circumlocutions. The young, middle-aged, and old Wilson

5 speaks directly through his letters, which are informal for

the most part and which undisguisedly reflect his changing

moods. On occasion-in response, perhaps, to the misery

of a friend or a public outrage or a personal challenge-he

can become eloquent, even passionate, but that is not his

10 prevailing tone.

Questions 8-9 are based on the following passage.

The belief that it is harmful to the Black community

for authors to explore the humanity of our leaders can

have troubling effects. At the least, it promotes the belief

that our heroes have to be perfect to be useful. At worst.

5 it censors our full investigation of Black life. If our paintings

of that life are stock and cramped, their colors drab

and predictable, the representations of our culture are likely

to be untrue. They will not capture the breadth and

complexity of Black identity.

文章大意:文中描述对于黑人区的探索,对黑人生活的描述过于晦涩难

懂的话很可能我们展现的形式会失真,所以整篇文段是对黑人生活展现形式的讨论。

The following passage was written by a physicist in 1986.

When astronomers point their telescopes to the nearest

galaxy, Andromeda, they see it as it was two million years

ago. That's about the lime Auslralopithecus was basking

in the African sun. This little bit of lime travel is possible

5 because tight takes two mill ion years to make the trip from there to here. Too bad we couldn’t turn things around and observe Earth from some cozy planet in Andromeda.

But looking at light from distant objects isn't real time

travel, the in-the-flesh participation in past and future found

10 in literature. Ever since I've been old enough 10 read science fiction. I've dreamed of time traveling. The possibilities

are staggering. You could take medicine back to fourteenth century Europe and stop the spread of plague, or you could

travel to the twenty-third century, where people take their

15 annual holidays in space stations.

Being a scientist myself. I know that time travel is

quite unlikely according to the laws of physics. For one

thing, there would be a causality violation. If you could

travel backward in time, you could alter a chain of events

20 with the knowledge of how they would have turned out. Cause would no longer always precede effect. For example,

you could prevent your parents from ever meeting. Contemplating the consequences of that will give you a headache. and science fiction writers for decades have

25 delighted in the paradoxes that can arise from traveling through time.

Physicists are, of course. horrified at the thought of

causality violation. Differential equations for the way

things should behave under a given set of forces and

30 initial conditions would no longer be valid. since what happens in one instant would not necessarily determine

what happens in the next. Physicists do rely on a deterministic universe in which to operate. and time travel would

almost certainly put them and most other scientists

35 permanently out of work.

Still. I dream of time travel. There is something very

personal about lime. When the first mechanical clocks

were invented. marking off time in crisp. regular intervals,

it must have surprised people 10 discover that time

40 flowed outside their own mental and physiological processes. Body time flows at its own variable rate, oblivious

to the most precise clocks in the laboratory. In fact, the

human body contains its own exquisite timepieces, all with

their separate rhythms. There are the alpha waves in the

45 brain; another clock is the heart. And all the while tick the mysterious, ruthless clocks that regulate aging.

Recently, I found my great-grandfather's favorite pipe.

Papa Joe, as he was called, died more than seventy years

ago, long before I was born. There are few surviving photo-

50 graphs or other memorabilia of Papa Joe. Butl do have his

pipe, which had been tucked away in a drawer somewhere

for years and was in good condition when I found il. I ran

a pipe cleaner through it, filled it with some tobacco I had

on hand. and settled down to read and smoke. After a cou-

55 pic of minutes. the most wonderful and foreign blend of

smells began wafting from the pipe. All the different occasions

when Papa Joe had lit his pipe, all the different places

he had been that I will never know-all had been locked

up in that pipe and now poured out into the room. I was

60 vaguely aware that something had got delightfully twisted

in time for a moment, skipped upward on the page. There

is a kind of time travel 10 be had, if you don't insist on how

it happens.

Questions 19-24 are based on the following passage.

The following passage is an excerpt from a book about

twentieth-century development in art. The author refers

here to the modern art that emerged shortly after the film

of the century. Many people found this art shocking.

If the new art is not accessible to everyone, which

certainly seems 10 be the case, this implies that its impulses

are not of a generically human kind. It is an art not for

people in general but for a special class who may not be

5 better but who are evidently different.

Before we go further, one point must be clarified. What

is it that the majority of people call 3esthetic pleasure?

What happens in their minds when they "like" a work of

art: for example, a play? The answer is easy. They like a

10 play when they become interested in the human destinies

that are represented. when the love and hatred. the joys and

sorrows of the dramatic personages so move them that they

participate in it all as though it were happening in real life.

And they call a work "good" if it succeeds in creating the

15 illusion necessary to make the imaginary personages appear

like living persons. In poetry the majority of people seek

the passion and pain of the human being behind the poet.

Paintings attract them if they find in them figures of men or

women it would be interesting to meet.

20 It thus appears that to the majority of people aesthetic

pleasure means a state of mind that is essentially

indistinguishable from their ordinary behavior. II differs

merely in accidental qualities. being perhaps less utilitarian.

more intense. and free from painful consequences. But the

25 object toward which their attention and. consequently, all

their other mental activities are directed is the same as in

daily life: people and passions. When forced to consider

artistic forms proper-for example. in some surrealistic or

abstract an-most people will only tolerate them if they do

30 not interfere with their perception of human forms and

fates. As soon as purely aesthetic elements predominate

and the story of John and Susie grows elusive. most people

feel out of their depth and are at a loss as to what to make

of the scene. the book. or the painting. A work of art

35 vanishes from sight for a beholder who seeks in that work

of an nothing but the moving fate of John and Susie or

Tristan and Isolde.· Unaccustomed to behaving in any

mode except the practical one in which feelings are aroused

and emotional involvement ensues. most people are unsure

40 how to respond to a work that does not invite sentimental intervention.

Now this is a point that has to be made perfectly clear.

Neither grieving nor rejoicing at such human destinies as

those presented by a work of an begins to define true

45 artistic pleasure: indeed. preoccupation with the human

content of the work is in principle incompatible with

aesthetic enjoyment proper .

文章大意:本文一直围绕的主题是大多数人称之为审美乐趣的东西到底是什么,大部分人对于艺术上的审美情趣是在于作品中的人文因素这是不对的,而单单是艺术元素。人类对于艺术的审视角度也是不一样。长难词:hatred 憎恨personage 角色,名人surrealistic elusive rejoice

own merits

(C) are annoyed by its social message

(E) find it too difficult to guess at the artist’s source

of inspiration

解析:D,这里作者说道“is not for people in general.”后面说道大部分的人不知道怎么艺术的元素来源和组成,所以对于现代艺术是抵触的。

artistic elements in a work of art

artist's actual accomplishments

easily defined

traditional work of art depends on the moral

conventions of the artist's society

Questions 9-12 are based on the following passages.

Passage 1

What accounts for the inexorable advance of the giant

Sports utility vehicle (SUV) into our lives? Why do we

want high-clearance trucks with four-wheel drive and

front bumpers as big as bartering rams? A large part of

5 the answer lies in the fake Western names so many of

them carry. No one much cares about what those names

denote (lakes, frontier towns, mountain ranges): what

matters is their connotations of rugged individualism.

mastery over the wilderness, cowboy endurance. The

10 names simply magnify the appeal of these vehicles

that are the Frankensteinian concoctions of our private

anxieties and desires.

Passage 2

When a major manufacturer launched an SUV named

for an Alaskan mountain, an auto-trade publication dis-

15 cussed the subtleties of its name. It proposed that even

though most buyers will never venture into territory any

less trampled than the parking lot of the local shopping

mall , the important goal of the marketing hype is to plant

the image in customers' minds that they can conquer

10 rugged terrain. Perhaps we're trying to tame a different

kind of wilderness. Indeed, in an age when many who

can afford to do so live in limited-access communities

in houses guarded by sophisticated surveillance systems,

the SUV is the perfect transportation shelter to protect us

15 from fears both real and imagined.

考研英语一阅读理解真题加解析1994

Although we focus on the needs of exceptional children, we find ourselves describing their environment as well. While the leading actor on the stage captures our attention, we are aware of the importance of the supporting players and the scenery of the play itself. Both the family and the society in which exceptional children live are often the key to their growth and development. And it is in the public schools that we find the full expression of society's understanding —the knowledge, hopes, and fears that are passed on to the next generation. Education in any society is a mirror of that society. In that mirror we can see the strengths, the weaknesses, the hopes, the prejudices, and the central values of the culture itself. The great interest in exceptional children shown in public education over the past three decades indicates the strong feeling in our society that all citizens, whatever their special conditions, deserve the opportunity to fully develop their capabilities. "All men are created equal." We've heard it many times, but it still has important meaning for education in a democratic society. Although the phrase was used by this country's founders to denote equality before the law, it has also been interpreted to mean equality of opportunity. That concept implies educational opportunity for all children — the right of each child to receive help in learning to the limits of his or her capacity, whether that capacity be small or great. Recent court decisions have confirmed the right of all children — disabled or not — to an appropriate education, and have ordered that public schools take the necessary steps to provide that education. In response, schools are modifying their programs, adapting instruction to children who are exceptional, to those who cannot profit substantially from regular programs. 59. In paragrah 2, the author cites the example of the leading actor on the stage to show that ________. [A] the growth of exceptional children has much to do with their family and the society [B] exceptional children are more influenced by their families than normal children are [C] exceptional children are the key interest of the family and society [D] the needs of the society weigh much heavier than the needs of the exceptional children 60. The reason that the exceptional children receive so much concern in education is that ________. [A] they are expected to be leaders of the society [B] they might become a burden of the society [C] they should fully develop their potentials [D] disabled children deserve special consideration 61. This passage mainly deals with ________. [A] the differences of children in their learning capabilities [B] the definition of exceptional children in modern society [C] the special educational programs for exceptional children [D] the necessity of adapting education to exceptional children 62. From this passage we learn that the educational concern for exceptional children ________. [A] is now enjoying legal support [B] disagrees with the tradition of the country [C] was clearly stated by the country's founders [D] will exert great influence over court decisions 重点词汇: denote (v.表示)即de+note,de-向下,note 记录,“记录下来”→表示。Wisdom denotes the pursuing of the best and by the best means.“明智”指的是以最好的方法追求最好的结果。 难句解析: ①Exceptional children are different in some significant way from others of the same age. For these children to develop to their full adult potential, their education must be adapted to those differences. ▲第一个短句结构很简单,第二句中For these children to develop to their full adult potential是一个表示目的的状语,也可以看成是一个从主句their education must be adapted to those differences后面提前了的介词结构。 △第一个短句中exceptional一词我们从文章后面的叙述中可以知道它不是我们一般理解的“杰出的,出类拔萃的”,而应指“反常的,有缺陷的”,其实此处的exceptional是一种“身有残疾”的委婉表达法;significant应理解为“重要的,关键的”,而第二句的develop to their full adult potential的develop是一个不及物动词,意为“发展,养成”,而potential是一个名词,意为“潜能”;be adapted to的意思是“被调整,适应”。 ②While the leading actor on the stage captures our attention, we are aware of the importance of the supporting players and the scenery of the play itself. ▲此句由一个while引导的让步状语从句the leading actor on the stage captures our attention和一个主句构成。 △要理解本句,重点是看到它是一个类比,把残疾儿童比喻为舞台上的主要角色,而他们的家庭和社会环境被比喻为配角和戏剧的布景。在考研的阅读理解中,当我们碰到作者使用各种比喻和类比时,最重要的一点就是要弄清其用比喻来说明的对象。 ③And it is in the public schools that we find the full expression of society's understanding — the knowledge, hopes, and fears that are passed on to the next generation.

英语真题阅读理解试题及名师解析三

英语真题阅读理解试题及名师解析(三) When a new movement in art attains a certain fashion, it is advisable to find out what its advocates are aiming at, for, however farfetched and unreasonable their principles may seem today, it is possible that in years to come they may be regarded as normal. With regard to Futurist poetry, however, the case is rather difficult, for whatever Futurist poetry may be―even admitting that the theory on which it is based may be right―it can hardly be classed as Literature. This, in brief, is what the Futurist says: for a century, past conditions of life have been conditionally speeding up, till now we live in a world of noise and violence and speed. Consequently, our feelings, thoughts and emotions have undergone a corresponding change. This speeding up of life, says the Futurist, requires a new form of expression. We must speed up our literature too, if we want to interpret modern stress. We must pour out a large stream of essential words, unhampered by stops, or qualifying adjectives, or finite verbs. Instead of describing sounds we must make up words that imitate them; we must use many sizes of type and different colored inks on the same page, and shorten or lengthen words at will. Certainly their descriptions of battles are confused. But it is a little upsetting to read in the explanatory notes that a certain line describes a fight between a Turkish and a Bulgarian officer on a bridge off which they both fall into the river—and then to find that the line consists of the noise of their falling and the weights of the officers: “Pluff! Pluff! A hundred and eighty-five kilograms.” This, though it fulfills the laws and requirements of Futurist poetry, can hardly be classed as Literature. All the same, no thinking man can refuse to accept their first proposition: that a great change in our emotional life calls for a change of expression. The whole question is really this: have we essentially changed? 19. This passage is mainly____. [A]a survey of new approaches to art [B]a review of Futurist poetry [C]about merits of the Futurist movement [D]about laws and requirements of literature 20. When a novel literary idea appears, people should try to_____. [A]determine its purposes [B]ignore its flaws [C]follow the new fashions [D]accept the principles 21. Futurists claim that we must____. [A]increase the production of literature [B]use poetry to relieve modern stress [C]develop new modes of expression [D]avoid using adjectives and verbs 22. The author believes that Futurist poetry is____. [A]based on reasonable principles [B]new and acceptable to ordinary people [C]indicative of basic change in human nature

高考生物真题解析

年高考生物真题解析(天津卷)2013一、选择题: 1.下列过程未体现生物膜信息传递功能的是()... A.蔗糖溶液使洋葱表皮细胞发生质壁分离 B.抗原刺激引发记忆细胞增殖分化 C.胰岛素调节靶细胞对葡萄糖的摄取 D.传出神经细胞兴奋引起肌肉收缩 参考答案:A 【命题立意】本题考查生物膜的信息传递功能 【解题思路】蔗糖溶液能使洋葱表皮细胞发生质壁分离说明了生物膜能控制物质进出细胞的功能,不属于信息传递,故选A。抗原刺激记忆细胞时,与记忆细胞表面的受体蛋白结合,从而使记忆细胞增殖分化;胰岛素作用于靶细胞时也是与靶细胞表面的受体蛋白结合来传递信息;传出神经细胞兴奋时,释放神经递质到突触间隙,神经递质与肌肉细胞的受体蛋白结合来传递信息。故BCD都属于生物膜的信息传递。 2.哺乳动物卵原细胞减数分裂形成成熟卵子的过程,只有在促性腺激素和精子的诱导下才能完成。下面为某哺乳动物卵子及早期胚胎的形成过程示意图(N表示染色体组)

)的是(据图分析,下列叙述错误..次级卵母细胞形成的过程需要激素调节 A. 只有在精子的作用下才能形成成熟卵子细胞III B.细胞分裂后期染色体数目相同III、和IV C.II作为受体细胞IV D.培育转基因动物应选择细胞 C参考答案:【命题立意】本题考查减数分裂、激素调节和基因工程的综合运用【解题思路】雌性激素的作用之一是促进生殖器官的发育和生殖细胞13 / 1 的形成,故次级卵母细胞的形成需要雌性激素调节,A正确。哺乳动物卵子形成过程中减数第二次分裂发生在精子和卵子结合过程中,故B正确。图中Ⅱ细胞(初级卵母细胞)分裂后期染色体数目与体细胞相同,Ⅲ细胞(次级卵母细胞)分裂后期着丝点分裂,染色体数目又恢复成体细胞染色体数目,而Ⅳ细胞(为受精卵)进行有丝分裂,后期时着丝点分裂,染色体数目为体细胞2倍,故C错误。培育转基因动物时候受体细胞应选择受精卵,故D正确。 3.对下列生命现象及其生物学意义表述正确的是() A.光合作用推动碳循环过程,促进了生物群落中的能量循环 B.细胞分裂使细胞趋向专门化,提高了机体生理功能的效率

SAT 新版OG 解析6(整理版)

Book Test #6: Section 1 Sample Essay - Score of 6 The power of success can be disastrous when placed in the wrong hands. Naturally, there are those who will always choose to manipulate conditions to succeed in their own endeavors, not taking into consideration the lives of those around them. On the other hand, there may be those who do not necessarily pursue selfish ends, but simply do not know where to take success once it has been achieved, thus resulting in their own self-sabotage. Throughout history, we have seen success used wrongfully in the hands of the unworthy. Powerful leaders of nations, kingdoms, and empires, having succeeded in gaining leadership, have then used their influence wrongfully in achieving their own selfish (and sometimes twisted) goals. Nero, the Roman emperor who beat his pregnant wife to death and has been suspected of instigating the great fire of Rome in an attempt to boost his own political influence. Henry VIII of England, for whom women were beheaded for not bearing him a son, and who is rumored to have eaten eight chickens a night while English peasants starved. The notorious Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain, who carried out the Spanish Inquisition. The list is endless. Even in literature, we see the corruption and downfall of society and mankind as a whole as a result of the abuse of success in the possession of those who do not deserve it, as seen in William Shakespeare’s tragedy of King Lear. In the story, societal order is replaced with chaos when there is a power shift from Lear to his evil daughters, Regan and Goneril. This order only returns to a slight degree when virtue (in the form of Lear’s good daughter, Cordelia) returns to England. Success is hazardous when awarded to the unvirtuous. However, there may be those who are not necessarily evil of greedy in their pursuits, but merely do not know how to handle success. This proves to be just more disastrous to the individual than to anyone else, since it is the individual who will then sabotage his own success to return to his former comfort zone. Success is meant to be grown upon, not exploited or feared. Success, when achieved by the unworthy or inexperienced, is a most disastrous element. Success is not about being happy at the expense of those about you –it is about u sing one’s newly gained happiness to improve the lives of others.
