We reach for them mindlessly, setting our brains on auto-pilot and relaxing into the unconscious comfort of familiar routine. Not choice, but habit rules the unreflecting herd, William Wordsworth said in the 19th century. In the ever-changing 21st century, even the word habit carries a negative connotation.So it seems antithetical to talk about habits in the same context as creativity and innovation. But brain researchers have discovered that when we consciously develop new habits, we create parallel synaptic paths, and even entirely new brain cells, that can jump our trains of thought onto new, innovative tracks.But don t bother trying to kill off old habits; once those ruts of procedure are worn into the hippocampus, they re there to stay. Instead, the new habits we deliberately ingrain into ourselves create parallel pathways that can bypass those old roads.The first thing needed for innovation is a fascination with wonder, says Dawna Markova, author of The Open Mind and an executive change consultant for Professional Thinking Partners. But we are taught instead to decide, just as our president calls himself the Decider. She adds, however, that to decide is to kill off all possibilities but one. A good innovational thinker is always exploring the many other possibilities.All of us work through problems in ways of which we re unaware, she says. Researchers in the late 1960 covered that humans are born with the capacity to approach challenges in four primary ways: analytically, procedurally, relationally (or collaboratively) and innovatively. At puberty, however, the brain shuts down half of that capacity, preserving only those modes of thought that have seemed most valuable during the first decade or so of life.The current emphasis on standardized testing highlights analysis and procedure, meaning that few of us inherently use our innovative and collaborative modes of thought. This breaks the major rule in the American belief system that anyone can do anything, explains M. J. Ryan, author of the 2006 book This Year I Will... and Ms. Markova s business partner. That s a lie that we have perpetuated, and it fosters commonness. Knowing what you re good at and doing even more of it creates excellence. This is where developing new habits comes in.21. The view of Wordsworth habit is claimed by beingA. casual B. familiar C. mechanical D. changeable.22. The researchers have discovered that the formation of habit can beA. predicted B. regulated C. traced D. guided23. ruts (in line one, paragraph 3) has closest meaning toA. tracks B. series C. characteristics D. connections24. Ms. Markova s comments suggest that the practice of standard testing ?A, prevents new habits form being formedB, no longer emphasizes commonnessC, maintains the inherent American thinking modelD, complies with the American belief system25. Ryan most probably agree thatA. ideas are born of a relaxing mindB. innovativeness could be taughtC. decisiveness derives from fantastic ideasD. curiosity activates creative mindsText 2It is a wise father that knows his own child, but today a man can boost his paternal (fatherly) wisdom or at least confirm that he s the kid s dad. All he needs to do is shell our $30 for paternity testing kit (PTK) at his local drugstore and another $120 to get the results.More than 60,000 people have purchased the PTKs since they first become available without prescriptions last years, according to Doug Fog, chief operating officer of Identigene, which makes the over-the-counter kits. More than two dozen companies sell DNA tests Directly to the public , ranging in price from a few hundred dollars to more than $2500.Among the most popular : paternity and kinship testing , which adopted children can use to find their biological relatives and latest rage a many passionate genealogists-and supports businesses that offer to search for a family s geographic roots .Most tests require collecting cells by webbing saliva in the mouth and sending it to the company for testing. All tests require a potential candidate with whom to compare DNA.But some observers are skeptical, There is a kind of false precision being hawked by people claiming they are doing ancestry testing, says Trey Duster, a New York University sociologist. He notes that each individual has many ancestors-numbering in the hundreds just a few centuries back. Yet most ancestry testing only considers a single lineage, either the Y chromosome inherited through men in a father s line or mitochondrial DNA, which a passed down only from mothers. This DNA can reveal genetic information about only one or two ancestors, even though, for example, just three generations back people also have six other great-grandparents or, four generations back, 14 other great-great-grandparents.Critics also argue that commercial genetic testing is only as good as the reference collections to which a sample is compared. Databases used by some companies don t rely on data collected systematically but rather lump together information from different research projects. This means that a DNA database may differ depending on the company that processes the results. In addition, the computer programs a company uses to estimate relationships may be patented and not subject to peer review or outside evaluation.26.In paragraphs 1 and 2 , the text shows PTK s ___________.[A]easy availability[B]flexibility in pricing[C] successful promotion[D] popularity with households27. PTK is used to __________.[A]locate one s birth place[B]promote genetic research[C] identify parent-child kinship[D] choose children for adoption28. Skeptical observers believe that ancestry testing fails to__________.[A]trace distant ancestors[B] rebuild reliable bloodlines[C] fully use genetic information[D] achieve the claimed accuracy29. In the last paragraph ,a problem commercial genetic testing faces is __________.[A]disorganized data collection[B] overlapping database building30. An appropriate title for the text is most likely to be__________.[A]Fors and Againsts of DNA testing[B] DNA testing and It s problems[C]DNA testing outside the lab[D] lies behind DNA testingText 3The relationship between formal education and economic growth in poor countries is widely misunderstood by economists and politicians alike progress in both area is undoubtedly necessary for the social, political and intellectual development of these and all other societies; however, the conventional view that education should be one of the very highest priorities for promoting rapid economic development in poor countries is wrong. We are fortunate that is it, because new educational systems there and putting enough people through them to improve economic performance would require two or three generations. The findings of a research institution have consistently shown that workers in all countries can be trained on the job to achieve radical higher productivity and, as a result, radically higher standards of living.Ironically, the first evidence for this idea appeared in the United States. Not long ago, with the country entering a recessing and Japan at its pre-bubble peak. The U.S. workforce was derided as poorly educated and one of primary cause of the poor U.S. economic performance. Japan was, and remains, the global leader in automotive-assembly productivity. Yet the research revealed that the U.S. factories of Honda Nissan, and Toyota achieved about 95 percent of the productivity of their Japanese countere pants a result of the training that U.S. workers received on the job.More recently, while examing housing construction, the researchers discovered that illiterate, non-English- speaking Mexican workers in Houston, Texas, consistently met best-practice labor productivity standards despite the complexity of the building industry s work.What is the real relationship between education and economic development? We have to suspect that continuing economic growth promotes the development of education even when governments don t force it. After all, that s how education got started. When our ancestors were hunters and gatherers 10,000 years ago, they didn t have time to wonder much about anything besides finding food. Only when humanity began to get its food in a more productive way was there time for other things.As education improved, humanity s productivity potential, they could in turn afford more education. This increasingly high level of education is probably a necessary, but not a sufficient, condition for the complex political systems required by advanced economic performance. Thus poor countries might not be able to escape their poverty traps without political changes that may be possible only with broader formal education. A lack of formal education, however, doesn t constrain the ability of the developing world s workforce to substantially improve productivity for the forested future. On the contrary, constraints on improving productivity explain why education isn t developing more quickly there than it is.31. The author holds in paragraph 1 that the important of education in poor countries ___________.[A] is subject groundless doubts[B] has fallen victim of bias[C] is conventional downgraded[D] has been overestimated32. It is stated in paragraph 1 that construction of a new education system __________.[A]challenges economists and politicians[B]takes efforts of generations[C] demands priority from the government[D] requires sufficient labor force33.A major difference between the Japanese and U.S workforces is that __________.[A] the Japanese workforce is better disciplined[B] the Japanese workforce is more productive[C]the U.S workforce has a better education[D] ]the U.S workforce is more organize34. The author quotes the example of our ancestors to show that education emerged __________.[A] when people had enough time[B] prior to better ways of finding food[C] when people on longer went hung[D] as a result of pressure on government35. According to the last paragraph , development of education __________.[A] results directly from competitive environments[B] does not depend on economic performance[C] follows improved productivity[D] cannot afford political changesText 4The most thoroughly studied in the history of the new world are the ministers and political leaders of seventeenth-century New England. According to the standard history of American philosophy, nowhere else in colonial America was So much important attached to intellectual pursuits According to many books and articles, New England s leaders established the basic themes and preoccupations of an unfolding, dominant Puritan tradition in American intellectual life.To take this approach to the New Englanders normally mean to start with the Puritans theological innovations and their distinctive ideas about the church-important subjects that we may not neglect. But in keeping with our examination of southern intellectual life, we may consider the original Puritans as carriers of European culture adjusting to New world circumstances. The New England colonies were the scenes of important episodes in the pursuit of widely understood ideals of civility and virtuosity.The early settlers of Massachusetts Bay included men of impressive education and influence in England. `Besides the ninety or so learned ministers who came to Massachusetts church in the decade after 1629,There were political leaders like John Winthrop, an educated gentleman, lawyer, and official of the Crown before he journeyed to Boston. There men wrote and published extensively, reaching both New World and Old World audiences, and giving New England an atmosphere of intellectual earnestness.We should not forget , however, that most New Englanders were less well educated. While few crafts men or farmers, let alone dependents and servants, left literary compositions to be analyzed, The in thinking often had a traditional superstitions quality. A tailor named John Dane, who emigrated in the late 1630s, left an account of his reasons for leaving England that is filled with signs. sexual confusion, economic frustrations , and religious hope-all name together in a decisive moment when he opened the Bible, told his father the first line he saw would settle his fate, and read the magical words: come out from among them, touch no unclean thing , and I will be your God and you shall be my people. One wonders what Dane thought of the careful sermons explaining the Bible that he heard in puritan churched.Mean while , many settles had slighter religious commitments than Dane s, as one clergyman learned in confronting folk along the coast who mocked that they had not come to the New world for religion . Our main end was to catch fish.36. The author notes that in the seventeenth-century New England___________.[A] Puritan tradition dominated political life.[B] intellectual interests were encouraged.[C] Politics benefited much from intellectual endeavors.[D] intellectual pursuits enjoyed a liberal environment.37. It is suggested in paragraph 2 that New Englanders__________.[A] experienced a comparatively peaceful early history.[B] brought with them the culture of the Old World[C] paid little attention to southern intellectual life[D] were obsessed with religious innovations38. The early ministers and political leaders in Massachusetts Bay__________.[A] were famous in the New World for their writings[B] gained increasing importance in religious affairs[C] abandoned high positions before coming to the New World[D] created a new intellectual atmosphere in New England39. The story of John Dane shows that less well-educated New Englanders were often __________.[A] influenced by superstitions[B] troubled with religious beliefs[C] puzzled by church sermons[D] frustrated with family earnings40. The text suggests that early settlers in New England__________.[A] were mostly engaged in political activities[B] were motivated by an illusory prospect[C] came from different backgrounds.[D] left few formal records for later referencePart BDirections:Directions: In the following text, some sentences have been removed.

(10 points)Coinciding with the groundbreaking theory of biological evolution proposed by British naturalist Charles Darwin in the 1860s, British social philosopher Herbert Spencer put forward his own theory of biological and cultural evolution. Spencer argued that all worldly phenomena, including human societies, changed over time, advancing toward perfection. 41.____________.American social scientist Lewis Henry Morgan introduced another theory of cultural evolution in the late 1800s. Morgan, along with Tylor, was one of the founders of modern anthropology. In his work, he attempted to show how all aspects of culture changed together in the evolution of societies.42._____________.In the early 1900s in North America, German-born American anthropologist Franz Boas developed a new theory of culture known as historical particularism. Historical particularism, which emphasized the uniqueness of all cultures, gave new direction to anthropology. 43._____________ .Boas felt that the culture of any society must be understood as the result of a unique history and not as one of many cultures belonging to a broader evolutionary stage or type of culture. 44._______________.Historical particularism became a dominant approach to the study of culture in American anthropology, largely through the influence of many students of Boas. But a number of anthropologists in the early 1900s also rejected the particularist theory of culture in favor of diffusionism. Some attributed virtually every important cultural achievement to the inventions of a few, especially gifted peoples that, according to diffusionists, then spread to other cultures. 45.________________.Also in the early 1900s, French sociologist ?mile Durkheim developed a theory of culture that would greatly influence anthropology. Durkheim proposed that religious beliefs functioned to reinforce social solidarity. An interest in the relationship between the function of society and culture known as functionalism became a major theme in European, and especially British, anthropology.[A] Other anthropologists believed that cultural innovations, such as inventions, had a single origin and passed from society to society. This theory was known as diffusionism.[B] In order to study particular cultures as completely as possible, Boas became skilled in linguistics, the study of languages, and in physical anthropology, the study of human biology and anatomy.[C] He argued that human evolution was characterized by a struggle he called the survival of the fittest, in which weaker races and societies must eventually be replaced by stronger, more advanced races and societies.[D] They also focused on important rituals that appeared to preserve a people s social structure, such as initiation ceremonies that formally signify children s entrance into adulthood.[E] Thus, in his view, diverse aspects of culture, such as the structure of families, forms of marriage, categories of kinship, ownership of property, forms of government, technology, and systems of food production, all changed as societies evolved.[F]Supporters of the theory viewed as a collection of integrated parts that work together to keep a society functioning.[G] For example, British anthropologists Grafton Elliot Smith and W. J. Perry incorrectly suggested, on the basis of inadequate information, that farming, pottery making, and metallurgy all originated in ancient Egypt and diffused throughout the world. In fact, all of these cultural developments occurred separately at different times in many parts of the world.Part CDirections:Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation should be written carefully on ANSWER SHEET 2. (10 points)There is a marked difference between the education which every one gets from living with others, and the deliberate educating of the young. In the former case the education is incidental; it is natural and important, but it is not the express reason of the association.46It may be said that the measure of the worth of any social institution is its effect in enlarging and improving experience; but this effect is not a part of its original motive. Religious associations began, for example, in the desire to secure the favor of overruling powers and to ward off evil influences; family life in the desire to gratify appetites and secure family perpetuity; systematic labor, for the most part, because of enslavement to others, etc. 47Only gradually was the by-product of the institution noted, and only more gradually still was this effect considered as a directive factor in the conduct of the institution. Even today, in our industrial life, apart from certain values of industriousness and thrift, the intellectual and emotional reaction of the forms of human association under which the world"s work is carried on receives little attention as compared with physical output.But in dealing with the young, the fact of association itself as an immediate human fact, gains in importance.48 While it is easy to ignore in our contact with them the effect of our acts upon their disposition, it is not so easy as in dealing with adults. The need of training is too evident; the pressure to accomplish a change in their attitude and habits is too urgent to leave these consequences wholly out of account. 49Since our chief business with them is to enable them to share in a common life we cannot help considering whether or no we are forming the powers which will secure this ability.If humanity has made some headway in realizing that the ultimate value of every institution is its distinctively human effect we may well believe that this lesson has been learned largely through dealings with the young.50 We are thus led to distinguish, within the broad educational process which we have been so far considering, a more formal kind of education -- that of direct tuition or schooling. In undeveloped social groups, we find very little formal teaching and training. These groups mainly rely for instilling needed dispositions into the young upon the same sort of association which keeps the adults loyal to their group.Section Ⅲ WritingPart A51.

As we know, being accustomed to using plastic bag in our daily life, some of us still take the white pollution for granted. Plastic bag has become the indispensible part of our life, and the white pollution now is a ubiquitous phenomenon, which greatly worsens our environment.To save the situation from further aggravating, I would like to suggest that: firstly, our government should make a set of laws to punish the groups and individuals who are still polluting the environment; secondly, new technologies should be used to produce degradable and renewable materials; thirdly, the local media can make full use of its own influence to intensify the publicity in order to enhance people s awareness of environment.I hope that my suggestions are helpful, thank you for your attention!Sincerely yours，Li MingPart B52. 短文写作参考范文In the drawing, what first appears in front of us is a huge spider web, on which innumerable people are attached, like the catch of the owner of the web. What is more ironic is they are imprisoned in respective cabins, choosing contacting on line rather than communicating face to face.There is no doubt that the Internet provides us with considerable convenience. However, it drives too many individuals to be addicted to the fictional experience, and hence forget the traditional and most efficient communication method. Indifference has become a not uncommon phenomenon in the modern world. The following reasons may be contribute to the phenomenon. To begin with, people in mounting numbers, who are vividly called netters, indulge in on-line activities, because science and technology develops too fast for people to adapt to it. The Internet, in particular, moving forward with an unimaginable speed, provides people with a convenient tool of getting in touch with others, which lacks weighing its correctness. Moreover, the fierce competition also plays a role of forcing people to fear the situation, which results in people s habit of wallowing in the unreal world.Hence, it is the high time that we highlighted the imperative of face-to-face communication between people. The joint efforts of the specialists, the netters and the educators are needed to cultivate the whole society with the essentiality.

发布时间：2017-06-24 20:18:34一，复试是怎么回事？ 四川大学考研网 www.scdxky.com硕士研究入学考试分初试和复试两个阶段，复试是考生在通过初试的基础上，对考生业务水平和实际能力的进一步考查。近几年复试中增加了对实际能力的考察，复试主要分以下几个部分：面试，笔试及实验操作。而这三方面的考察始终都离不开对考生专业知识能力的检验。初试考察的是考生综合知识的能力，在与导师面对面的交流中，导师更注重的是考生的专业知识能力。因为考生如果对本专业足够了解，那么在以后课题研究中可以提供给导师很多新鲜的想法和创新的能力，这样的考生往往更受导师的欢迎。所以，专业课在复试中占有很重要的地位，考生要花足够多的时间和精力在专业课的复习上。重磅阅 四川大学考研网 www.scdxky.com专业课复试各个学校的差别非常大，有的学校制定了严格的复试流程、评分标准和试题题库；而有的学校只是把过了初试线的同学叫来简单交流一下就结束；有的学校参加复试的考生浩浩荡荡，甚是壮观，而有的学校复试的规模很小，对最后的录取造不成重要的影响。川大的很多专业在复试方面是采用笔试和面试相结合的方法，笔试，大家都知道，就是给一张试卷，让答题，这一部份就是非常客观的，改卷出来是多少分就是多少分，除了扎实复习之外，是人力无法左右的，而面试这一部分的主观性就相对较大。面试一般又分为专业面试和英语口语。对这两部分的搭配各个专业的情况是不同的，有的专业是专业面试和英语口语在一个屋子里，就是在一起的，老师问了你专业课的问题后接着就英语口语。这种情况的话，英语口语的老师就是刚才问专业课的老师，不会专门安排专业英语老师来进行考察。有的专业专业面试和英语口语是分开了的，这种情况一般就是那种对英语口语要求比较高的专业，比如对外汉语，比较文学里的英美文学这些，就会把专业课面试和英语口语分开来考，分开来考的意思也就是说不在一个屋里考，会排一些顺序，比如说考号在**到**号区别的上午到哪个地方考口语，下午到哪个地方面试专业课，会把两个时间错开。这种情况的英语口语考官一般是比较专业的英语老师。决定专业课复试难度和淘汰率的因素很多，重要的其实就两个，需要考生特别注意： 四川大学考研网 www.scdxky.com1.初试过线人数和最终录取人数的比例。现在一些名校和一些热点专业，报考的同学很多，竞争非常激烈，在这种情况下，学校有可能以1：1.2甚至更大的比例划定初试分数线，保证更多的有潜力的同学进入复试，然后通过复试选择那些真正符合学科要求的人才。这种院校的复试一般来说竞争会比较激烈，特别是在初试中成绩并不突出的同学，在复试中一定要表现出非凡的学术底蕴和研究能力，才能够吸引复试老师的注意力，使自己不被淘汰。而与之相比，一些非名校或冷门专业，本身报考的考生过国家线的就不一定多，在这种情况下，为了完成招生计划，专业课的复试很可能就是个形式。2.参加复试的整体考生人数。有的学校研究生招生的规模比较大，一个院系甚至就招上百人到几百人，这个时候的复试，特别是面试给每个同学的时间肯定不会太长，那么涉及专业的提问也极有可能是泛泛而谈。而有的学校，因为招生规模比较小，复试面试的老师有足够的时间和耐心来仔细询问考生的本科学习，研究兴趣等等，复试就可能涉及比较细节的问题了。对川大而言，也还是要分专业，各个专业的情况都是不尽相同的。二，笔试。 四川大学考研网 www.scdxky.com针对笔试，各个专业的情况不同，这个我就不详讲，给你们讲专业的老师会给你们具体讲，但是需要注意的就是，复试跟初试一样也是有指定参考书的，但是川大最近两年没有把指定参考书目挂出来，但是这不表示没有。可以跟自己专业的师兄师姐请问，还有复试的历年真题，有的专业是能够找到的，有的专业找不到，因为没有对外开放，不管能不能买到，大家都还是要去找一下，不找怎么知道能不能找到。大家可以去东区中国邮政的二楼卖书的地方问一下，把自己的复试科目及其代码查出来，去问那个老板就可以了。笔试这一科是一定要好好准备了，尽量把分考得高一点，因为笔试比较客观，是自己可以掌控的。三，面试。一、礼貌当先 四川大学考研网 www.scdxky.com细节往往透露出你的不足之处，因此礼貌在整个面试过程中尤为重要。进门的时候一定要敲门，然后很有礼貌的表示对老师的尊重，鞠躬比较好，或者对着各位老师说声 老师好！ 问好的时候一定要用眼神扫一下各位老师，不能就望着一位老师说。因为每一位老师都不希望被忽视，这一点要注意。如果平时不注意这方面的同学们在面试的时候应该刻意的注意一下。另外，在进面试室之前一定要先把手机关闭，千万不要出现在面试现场手机响个不停的尴尬局面。如果真的在面试过程中出现没有意料到的尴尬局面，在面试结束后一定要向老师表达歉意。二、仪表庄重 四川大学考研网 www.scdxky.com仪表庄重，严肃会给老师留下良好的第一印象。在穿着方面，男生应该尽量穿西服或者比较正式的服装，女生千万不要穿紧身衣或者短裙，打扮得体，展现最真实的一面。这里关键是提醒大家要注意穿着，不能太过于随便，要让老师有被尊重的感觉，更有利于整体的气氛把握。三、谈吐清晰 四川大学考研网 www.scdxky.com在英语面试的时候，如果是自己口述而不是老师问问题的话，应该尽量把自己的英语介绍材料浓缩，语速千万不要太快。如果你语速太快而且句式复杂的话，会给老师一种表现太过的感觉，这里的意思不是说老师不愿意听到学生很好的表达能力。关键是在老师面前说话要说的清楚明白，让老师有很好的印象。还有要表现的尽量谦逊一些，再怎样谦逊，老师是不太会介意的。四、态度诚恳专业面试的时候一定要诚实，不会的时候就诚实的说自己不是很了解，把自己所了解的尽量说出来。不要企图认为可以蒙骗过去，因为以前就有这样的同学。老师问她看过一些什么相关的专业书籍。她其实并没有看，只是偶尔记得几个书名就说了。以此表现一下自己的专业素养，殊不知当老师接着让她说说看这些书籍后的感受或收获时，自己就只能傻眼了。结果自然给老师留下了不好的印象。因此一定要态度诚恳，实事求是。四，复试面试专业课高分应对方法对于复试中的面试，由于没有亲身经历，也没有可以模仿的练习，很多考生都很紧张。说一下具体的应对方法一）、多注意专业学科的前沿四川大学考研网 www.scdxky.com研究生的学习就是跟随导师一起做学问，对专业前沿知识的了解尤为重要。一般而言，在复试中老师关于专业课的提问都会紧扣前沿。所以，建议考生应多阅读一些相关专业的学术论文，接触了解前沿，以便复试时做到胸有成竹、得心应手。对自己想报的导师一定要加以详细了解，这些东西可以在川大各个学院的主页上能找到，对导师发表的论文要看一些，还有他们的研究方向，研究的成果这些都要了如指掌。导师的论文可以在川大上校园网，上万方，超星这些数据库找。文科的很多老师还会自己写小说，对于这些小说没时间看的话，最好也要了解其大概内容是关于什么的。因为专业课面试的时候，一般进去后，一个老师会问你报的哪个导师，然后你回答，回答之后的大部分问题都是你自己想报的那个导师问你。导师一般会问自己比较感兴趣或比较擅长方面的一些问题。二）、实话实说在复试中，如果遇到自己的确不会的问题，切不可自以为是地胡说一通，显得很有学问，这会让老师觉得你不严谨，华而不实，而做学问首先要求的就是严谨、谦逊。我们建议广大考生，答不出时就应有礼貌地告诉老师，这个领域你还不太了解，并表示今后的学习中你将跟随导师好好学习这方面的知识。记住，在时下学术打假的呼声中，诚实比知识更重要！三）、利用机会向老师求教在求教的过程中，一方面可以让老师更加熟悉你，获得一个好的印象，另一方面也可以从中获得一些导师未来培养计划等信息，对以后的学习方向做一个初步的打算，毕竟研究生阶段的学习不同于本科，提前熟悉会对自己以后的学业有较大的帮助。当然，求教不等于套近乎，必须以真诚为前提，虚心请教。总之，各个院校的复试千变万化，但是只要认真准备，找好方法和技巧，复试还是没有那么难的。五，英语口语：研究生复试一般分为专业课复试与英语复试，而英语复试主要是口语测试。由于从2005年起研究生入学考试英语笔试部分取消了听力，因此，研究生复试中除了传统的口语测试外，很多学校增加了听力部分。川大目前还没有增加听力哈，只考口语。英语口语考察的方式也比较多，有直接弄一段文字让你读一篇再让你翻译成中文的，这种情况比较简单，考得比较基础。有的是跟你对话。无论参加哪种形式的口语考试，说一口流利、准确的英语都是通过考试的关键所在。因此，语言的基本功与长期的口语素材积累至关重要。一般性备考可以分为下面几个部分：1..应试材料的准备：为了准备口语考试，可以准备一些材料，如《英语中级口语教程》、《四、六级英语口语应试》等。2. 制定复习计划：根据备考时间与所要参加的口试类型制定复习计划。可以每天准备一个话题，话题的内容最好是热门话题或常考话题。常见口语话题总结如下：Laid-off worker"s problem、Reforms of housing policy 、Going abroad 、Globalization 、Information age、Environmental protection and economic development 、Online learning 、2008 Olympic, Beijing、Economic crisis 。热点话题在报纸、杂志上大多可以找到，也是很多考试写作部分常出的题目，因此也可以参照考研或四、六级作文范文。但切忌全篇背诵所找到的材料，最好只借用其中某些素材，然后用自己的语言重新整理。3. 熟悉考场情况与考试流程 四川大学考研网 www.scdxky.com（1）进入考场入室前要敲门，虽是小节，但关系到你给考官的第一印象。衣着得体，落落大方。向考官问候：Good morning/ afternoon.如果可以，微笑，但绝不可勉强。（2）自我介绍要求简洁、有新意，能够让考官记住你。最重要的是，发音要准，不要太快，以别人听懂为目的。但注意一定要听考官的指示语，听到考官说：Can you introduce yourself briefly/ say something about yourself后再开始。其实现在许多口语考试为了避免考生背诵准备好的自我介绍，都去除了这个部分，而是由一些简单问题来代替，如：Where are you from? Could you say something about your hometown?Could you say something about your family？What do you usually do in your leisure time?What s your favorite TV program?Who is the most important person in your family？（3）回答考官问题此处不再赘述，但有一点要注意，千万不要只回答 YES 或 NO ，而是要加上你的reason或者是example.（4）看图说话不要过分局限于图中的内容，而应充分开阔思路，尤其注意的是在讲述完图中内容后做适当的评价，对图中的事物或观点提出自己的看法或客观公正的评论。（5）讨论 四川大学考研网 www.scdxky.com此处是发挥你的才智的关键一节，discussion在考试中占了很大一部分时间，所以要尽可能是自己多说，但要保证说到点子上。（6）最后问题最后，考官还会问你一个问题，这是你进一步展示自己的大好机会，如果前面不太理想，也可借此补救一下。(7) 结束考官明确说出：This is the end of the test, thank you.说明考试正式结束。站起来，拿好自己的东西，如准考证，与考官说再见：Thank you, goodbye. 或Thank you for your interview goodbye. 然后离开。注意考试结束后不要问老师关于得分的问题，应该马上礼貌的离开。4，专业方面的英语口语。现在很多学校英语复试的形式更加灵活，比如不再采取单独的英语复试，而是把英语复试和专业课复试融在一起进行，其具体形式大概可以分为两种：1）．专业课老师与英语老师组成一个复试团队，复试过程中专业课老师用汉语提问专业问题，而英语老师用英语提问一些与考生考取专业相关的问题。例如，考取金融方向研究生的考生可能会遇到如下问题：Could you explain the Chinese monetary policy in English?What do you think will be the impact of current global economic crisis on Chinese economy?2）. 由于现在高校老师的整体素质提高，复试中由专业老师直接用英语进行提问。其实并非所有专业的考生都会遇到英语复试中考查专业问题的情况。一般涉外专业或国际化较强的专业如经济（如考取中央财经大学、对外经贸大学）、传媒、语言专业的考生要注意对专业问题的准备。3），如何备考：提前准备一下跟专业有关的英语，比如自己的报考专业用英语怎么表达，本专业的一些常识性的知识用英语怎么表达。六，总成绩怎么算？ 四川大学考研网 www.scdxky.com川大考研的总成绩是按初试成绩和复试成绩分别占一定比例最后折合成总成绩。每个学院初试和复试成绩所占比例不一定相同，我们就举个大多数学院采取的初试50%，复试50%来算下总成绩。复试一般是笔试100分，面试100分那么总成绩就是：初试成绩/初试总分数 100 50%+复试成绩/复试总分数（200） 100 50%比如，如果某考生初试成绩是404分，复试的笔试成绩是90分，面试是85分。总成绩＝404/500 100 50%+(90+85)/200 100 50%=40.4+43.75=84.1附带英语口语话题：1.自我介绍Good morning.my dear teachers,my dear professors.

In my opinion,as one of the most famous comprehensive universities in our country,it provides students with enough room to get further enrichment.This is the first reason.Secondly,I love my major.In my opinion,the literature can make me feel very full and noble,let us go beyond the ordinary life, so I am longing for studying chinese literature in a famous university throughout my life.I think it is a pleasure to be with my favorite subject.What"s more,the modern literature is very close to our daily life and it can deeply reflect the style and features of our society.So it palys an important part in modernization of our citizen"thoughts.I suppose this is the most important reason for my decision(for me to take the postgrudate exams).The last but not least,I want to talk about a very pratical problem.It has been my dream to become a teacher in the university.I want to realize my dream and make myself a well-qualified person.So I hink further study is still urgent for me,and the postguraduate studies can enrich my knowledge and make me competent in my future job.Ok,this is my simple and clear reasons why I took the postgraduate exams,I think that is all ,thank you.6.研究生期间你的计划 (plans in the postgraduate study)I have a lot of things to do during the post-graduate studying period.First of all, I hope I can form a systematic view of the Modern and Contemporary Chinese Literature,In order to achieve this,I will try my best to get a complete comprehension of the formation history and the present situation as well as future development.I think I will extensively read the famous literary works.Because when I was a student in a secondary school,I have a dream that one day all the famous literary works,including ancient,modern,chinese and foreign literary works,will be read and understund by me.Of course,I have read some of them in the past four years,but not all,in order to realize this noble dream, in the following three years,I will go on widely reading literary works.Then,If possible,I will study hard ,because I would like to go on with my study for doctor"s degree.I always think it sacred and glory to be a doctor.In a word, I will make full use of the following three years and lay a solid foundation for future profession .Besides this,if I have some spare time,I will do some part-time jobs,such as tutor and summer jobs, by means of this,I can earn some money for my living expenses,I comes from rural areas,the economic condition is not very good,moreover, my younger brother will be admitted into a university next year,so I must learn to feed myself with my own ability.only in this way,can I alleviate some burden of my parentsThese are all my plans in the postgraduate study,I will make efforts to fulfill them.That is all ,thank you.考研复试临近，我把英语听说部分最可能考到的问题总结一下，大家根据自己的情况提前准备好, 同时做到举一反三。机会是给有准备的人的！ 四川大学考研网 www.scdxky.com1.What"s your name?My name is DuQi hui.2.Does your name have any special meaning?Oh,my name was give by my grandfather,he was a chinese teacher in a middle school,a long time ago he told me:Qi means very beautiful,Hui contains the meaning of intelligence..Perhaps, the two words Qi Hui express my family"s expectations and wishes on me.3.

解放军文职招聘考试考研短文写作总论-解放军文职人员招聘-军队文职考试-红师教育

（1）考官阅卷规律考研作文的读者是阅卷考官，因此充分掌握考官的阅读和评分心理是我们制胜的一大法宝。那么，阅卷考官在评分过程中都会呈现出什么样的特点呢？具体的注意事项总结如下：（2）英文作文的行文特点和思维模式美国一位著名的语言学家Kaplan曾经在20世纪70年代作过一项关于在美国的本土学生、亚洲学生和阿拉伯学生在写英文作文中体现出的思维方式及其背后的文化影响的调查，并发表了一篇著名的论文，提出了三种思维模式引发的写作模型。虽然考研作文的阅卷考官们大部分都是中国人，但是他们的英语水平都很高、造诣也很深，对于英文的行文规律了如指掌。因此，考生要尽量学会英文的写作模式，尤其要重视主题句的作用。简单来说，英文议论文的行文有以下特点：1、结构分明、意图明确。2、扣紧主题、切勿离题。3、句子不必过长，严防语法错误。4、适量引用名人名言、成语谚语。5、用清晰的语言指出问题。6、使用更多的连接词。（3）图画作文和图表作文的写作策略我们认为，接下来几年的研究生考试中，图画作文出现的概率远远大于图表作文。考生要重视图画作文的能力训练，但是也不能完全忽略图表作文。下文将具体阐述应对这两种作文形式的要点和攻略。一、图画+提纲作文图画作文往往给出的是一幅简洁明了的照片、图片或者漫画，要求考生将图画转变成为文字形式。尽管中国学生从小学开始就接受了看图作文的系统训练，但是我们不能因此掉以轻心。首先，英文看图作文和中文看图作文的模式和思维体系是不同的。其次，考研作文的图画选择都是含有丰富的寓意的，对考生提出了 把握寓意、联系现实、深刻思考、丰富表达 等一系列较高的要求。我们认为攻克图画作文的关键在于仔细分析、观察细节。虽然考研写作时间非常紧张，但是花2-3分钟细心观察图画是具有决定性意义的。观察图画的同时可以在草稿纸上作相应的笔记：1、写出你认为图画中反映的是一个什么样的社会现象和问题；2、简单写下图画中的一些细节，如2001年作文中的蜡烛烛光是以一个笑脸的形式体现出来的。迅速分析这些细节，标明哪些是重点、哪些是次重点、哪些无关紧要，在写作的时候便能够自如把握需要详细描述的信息。3、查漏补缺。检查是否有遗漏的信息，因为越是简单的图画就越容易使人忽略一些细节。例如在2005年的图画中，如果仔细观察可以发现，是大儿子把父亲踢了出来，而其他几个儿女是做防守动作，防止老父被踢到自己的球门。当然在发现遗漏的信息之后也需要进一步判断是否需要将这一信息加入自己的作文中。需要说明的是，我们这里指的提纲不是考题中已经给出的提纲，而是根据考题的提纲写出自己的行文思路、大意和要点等。接下来就是正式的写作步骤。我们来详细分析一下三段的具体写作要点（我们在本书的 高分句型 和 万能模版 部分将分别提供对每一个段落行之有效的句型和模版）：1、第一段主要是描述图画中的信息和表达的含义。考生在第一句话中应该开门见山地说明图画中谈论的是什么事情；第二句话进一步描述细节、但不要用于第一句话相同的表达方式；第三句话点明图画的象征意义。注意点：如果图中有中文说明的话，要尽量将中文句子译出或者以其他方式表达出来。但切忌生硬地翻译中文，如1998年作文中的那首打油诗就没有必要翻译出来。2、第二段的全文的重点，一般都是要求具体分析图画中暗含的社会现象。考生在提出一个总论点之后，可以通过 firstly, secondly, thirdly 等形式提出分支论点，进行详细阐发。在论证过程中可以采用并列论证、对比论证、举例论证、逻辑论证等方式。注意点：第二段和第三段的开头最好写一个主题句，既可以防止离题，又符合英文写作的习惯。同时，全文的段与段之间、句与句之间做好衔接和过渡的工作。二、图表+ 提纲作文考研作文已经出现过的图表作文包括1997年的柱状图（bar chart）和饼状图（pie chart），1999年的曲线图（line chart / line graph）。其它常见的图表还包括表格（table）、流程图（flow chart）等。在进行写作之前，我们同样要观察和分析图表。此时我们需要带着问题去观察：这个图表或者这组图表是关于什么内容的；图表中有哪些具体项目组成、分别有什么作用和含义；图表中有哪些重要数据（可以用铅笔在图中圈出）；如何分析这些数据，是把重点放在数据本身，还是重点分析数据变化的趋势。如果是一组图表，还要分析彼此之间有什么样的关联；如果从图表中得出一个中心思想或者主题句。接下来的几个写作步骤可以参考上文关于图画作文的分析，具体包括列提纲和如何组织三段论、以及最后的检查和修改等。此外，针对图表作文的特点，我们还提出了以下一个注意点：1、不同的图表本身就暗示了考生应该关注的分析点。如柱状图和曲线图重点在于指出变化趋势，而饼状图则侧重于各个部分的数值和所占百分比、即体现了整体和局部的关系，流程图在于过程和各个阶段的不同情况。以上四种图表一般都会有说明文字，如横坐标和纵坐标上的说明等，需要格外关注。表格的难度相对要更高，需要考生自己找出重点数据、并仔细观察数据来发现变化和趋势等。无论哪种形式的图表，考生万勿简单地罗列数据和信息，因为考研作文考察的重点是分析能力。2、要密切关注图表上一些重点区位，如果曲线的峰值、谷值、突然的转折，曲线的交汇点。其它图表中数值的极值，数据或者百分比大幅度增加或者减少的地方等等，这些往往都是图表暗含的中心意思所在。3、图表写作的事态采用一般现在时，如果题目中有具体关于过去和将来时间的提示，则根据情况采用过去时和将来时。4、图表的描述也有一些固定的表达法，考生需要在平时练习中积累（本书 高分句型 部分也提供了丰富的表达法）。5、由于图表往往提供了比图画更加丰富的信息，考生需要提高鉴别分析信息的能力，找出最重要的数据。由于数据繁多，也更容易遗漏，所以最后的查漏补缺工作也显得尤其重要。（4）写作注意事项u词汇英语写作讲究用词准确而且正式。同时，英语的词汇非常丰富，一个词语通常都有许多同义词和近义词。考生如果平时注意积累并加以练习，就能够熟练在考试中运用。下面我们举一些英语词汇变化的例子。help out assist; set up to establish; go up increase;cut down reduce; find out determine; look into investigate;bring up raise; come up with create; go up and down fluctuategood considerable; get obtain; a lot of numerous;things that will happen consequencesu语法英文写作非常讲究语法，尤其是考研作文作为正式文体，需要注意以下几点小细节：1、尽量少用缩写形式。如don t, can t, won t写做do not, cannot, will not等。2、用更加正式的否定形式。如not any写做no, not much 写做 little, not many 写做few等。例如：He did notsay anywords.He said nowordsThere are not manychances available.There are fewchances available.3、尽量少用 etc. , and so on 等表达方式。例如：Activities include dancing, singing, etc.Activities include dancing, singing, and other fun stuff.4、尽量把副词和动词放在一起。例如：Consequentlywe may arrive at the conclusion thatWe may consequentlyarrive at the conclusion thatu标点英语中没有顿号，在汉语需要顿号的情况下可以用逗号。汉语中的引言通常都是： 的格式，而英语中不用冒号，用逗号，如, .u常用程度和语句副词常用的程度副词包括：absolutely, almost, awfully, completely, considerably, deeply, entirely, exactly, extremely, fairly, greatly, hardly, immensely, increasingly, more and more, much, nearly, partly, perfectly, profoundly, quite, rather, scarcely, slightly, somehow, somewhat, thoroughly, to some extent, utterly, very.常用语句副词包括：actually, admittedly, certainly, clearly, definitely, evidently, fortunately, frankly, honestly, luckily, more importantly, naturally, surprisingly, obviously, perhaps, preferably, probably, possibly, strangely, superficially, surely, technically, theoretically, undeniably, unexpectedly, unfortunately.u常用逻辑连接词因果关系： and so ; another important factor/reason ; as a consequence; as a result; as; because; because of; being that; consequently; due to; for the reason that; for the same reason; for; hence; for this reason; in consequence; in that ; in view of; owing to; since; so; so that ; the reason seems obvious; there are about ; therefore; thus; obviously; evidently并列关系：and; also; as well as; both and ; either or ; neither nor ; not only but also ; in the same way; too序列关系: first , second , third , and so forth; A , B , C , and so forth; next; then; following this; at the same time; now; at this point; after; afterwards; subsequently; finally; previously; before this; simultaneously; concurrently; thus; therefore; hence; next; and then; soon递进关系：accordingly; as a popular saying goes ; as far as is concerned; at the same time; besides; even; further; furthermore; in addition; in order to ; in other words; in the first place , in the second place ; in this way; meanwhile; moreover; not only , but also ; not but ; lastly; for one thing , for another时空关系：afterwards;

to sum up; summing up; as I have shown; as I have said; hence; all in all（5）提高写作能力的整体策略和技巧众所周知， 一口吃不成一个大胖子 ，应对考研写作不仅仅需要考生在考试之前进行强化训练，更需要在平时坚持练习和积累。1、背诵范文背诵范文就是一个很好的方法，通过朗读和背诵，考生能够迅速掌握并牢记各种精彩词汇、词组和句型，更能够大大增强英语语感。而掌握语感是学会另一门语言的关键所在，也是一条捷径。2、扩大词汇量例如，我们可以查到 show 的同义词有：, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 等。conclude 的同义词有：, , , , , , , , , , , , , ,greatly 的同义词有：, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,我们可以发现这其中的很多词语都可以用到考研作文中。3、扩大阅读量。学习语言就要增大阅读量。考生可以在平时选取一些休闲类的英语读物用作准备考研的紧张生活中的一种调剂，如曾经风靡一时的 书虫 系列等。现在这类读物在书店中随处可见，非常容易买到。在阅读过程中，考生要做一个有心人，随时记下自己认为较好的词汇、词组和句型。此外，还可以多看看英语报纸杂志，不仅可以学到最新的词汇，也可以找到更多当前社会比较流行的话题，汲取不同的思路和观点，这些都与考研作文有很大的关联。现在这类出版物在国内也越来越多，比如21st Century, China Daily等报纸，国外的杂志像有名的Times, Newsweekly, Economist等也都能够较容易地买到过刊。不过我们不建议考生去读大部头的英文著作，一来消耗时间，二来大书中的词汇反而不如报纸杂志上的灵活生动、贴近生活。4、纠正中文思维5、考前作文复习步骤在自己搜集的资料基础上，多看多读多背，并尽量建立适合自己的各类作文模板。

解放军文职招聘考试2018年考研英语基础课（词汇、语法难句与阅读基础） 课堂精讲与复习备考的真题语料（5）发布时间：2017-06-11 14:17:002018年考研英语基础课（词汇、语法难句与阅读基础）课堂精讲与复习备考的真题语料（5）03-1Text 1[1-1]Wild Bill Donovan would have loved the Internet.[1-2]The American spymaster who built the Office of Strategic Services in World War Ⅱ and later laid the roots for the CIA was fascinated with information.[1-3]Donovan believed in using whatever tools came to hand in the great game of espionage spying as a profession.[1-4]These days the Net, which has already re-made such everyday pastimes as buying books and sending mail, is reshaping Donovan s vocation as well.[2-1]The latest revolution isn t simply a matter of gentlemen reading other gentlemen s e-mail.[2-2]That kind of electronic spying has been going on for decades.[2-3]In the past three or four years, the World Wide Web has given birth to a whole industry of point-and-click spying.[2-4]The spooks call it open-source intelligence , and as the Net grows, it is becoming increasingly influential.[2-5]In 1995 the CIA held a contest to see who could compile the most data about Burundi.[2-6]The winner, by a large margin, was a tiny Virginia company called Open Source Solutions, whose clear advantage was its mastery of the electronic world.[3-1]Among the firms making the biggest splash in this new world is Straitford, Inc., a private intelligence-analysis firm based in Austin, Texas.[3-2]Straitford makes money by selling the results of spying (covering nations from Chile to Russia) to corporations like energy-services firm McDermott International.[3-3]Many of its predictions are available online at www.straitford.com.[4-1]Straitford president George Friedman says he sees the online world as a kind of mutually reinforcing tool for both information collection and distribution, a spymaster s dream.[4-2]Last week his firm was busy vacuuming up data bits from the far corners of the world and predicting a crisis in Ukraine.[4-3] As soon as that report runs, we ll suddenly get 500 new Internet sign-ups from Ukraine, says Friedman, a former political science professor.[4-4] And we ll hear back from some of them.[4-5]Open-source spying does have its risks, of course, since it can be difficult to tell good information from bad.[4-6]That s where Straitford earns its keep.[5-1]Friedman relies on a lean staff of 20 in Austin.[5-2]Several of his staff members have military-intelligence backgrounds.[5-3]He sees the firm s outsider status as the key to its success.[5-4]Straitford s briefs don t sound like the usual Washington back-and-forthing, whereby agencies avoid dramatic declarations on the chance they might be wrong.[5-5]Straitford, says Friedman, takes pride in its independent voice.21. The emergence of the Net has[A] received support from fans like Donovan.[B] remolded the intelligence services.[C] restored many common pastimes.[D] revived spying as a profession.22. Donovan s story is mentioned in the text to[A] introduce the topic of online spying.[B] show how he fought for the U.S.[C] give an episode of the information war.[D] honor his unique services to the CIA.23. The phrase making the biggest splash (line1, paragraph 3) most probably means[A] causing the biggest trouble.[B] exerting the greatest effort.[C] achieving the greatest success.[D] enjoying the widest popularity.24. It can be learned from paragraph 4 that[A] Straitford s prediction about Ukraine has proved true.[B] Straiford guarantees the truthfulness of its information.[C] Straitford s business is characterized by unpredictability.[D] Straitford is able to provide fairly reliable information.25. Straitford is most proud of its[A] official status.[B] nonconformist image.[C] efficient staff.[D] military background.03-2Text 2[1-1]To paraphrase 18th-century statesman Edmund Burke, all that is needed for the triumph of a misguided cause is that good people do nothing.[1-2]One such cause now seeks to end biomedical research because of the theory that animals have rights ruling out their use in research.[1-3]Scientists need to respond forcefully to animal rights advocates, whose arguments are confusing the public and thereby threatening advances in health knowledge and care.[1-4]Leaders of the animal rights movement target biomedical research because it depends on public funding, and few people understand the process of health care research.[1-5]Hearing allegations of cruelty to animals in research settings, many are perplexed that anyone would deliberately harm an animal.[2-1]For example, a grandmotherly woman staffing an animal rights booth at a recent street fair was distributing a brochure that encouraged readers not to use anything that comes from or is tested in animals no meat, no fur, no medicines.[2-2]Asked if she opposed immunizations, she wanted to know if vaccines come from animal research.[2-3]When assured that they do, she replied, Then I would have to say yes.[2-4]Asked what will happen when epidemics return, she said, Don t worry, scientists will find some way of using computers.[2-5]Such well-meaning people just don t understand.[3-1]Scientists must communicate their message to the public in a compassionate, understandable way in human terms, not in the language of molecular biology.[3-2]We need to make clear the connection between animal research and a grandmother s hip replacement, a father s bypass operation, a baby s vaccinations, and even a pet s shots.[3-3]To those who are unaware that animal research was needed to produce these treatments, as well as new treatments and vaccines, animal research seems wasteful at best and cruel at worst.[4-1]Much can be done.[4-2]Scientists could adopt middle school classes and present their own research.[4-3]They should be quick to respond to letters to the editor, lest animal rights misinformation go unchallenged and acquire a deceptive appearance of truth.[4-4]Research institutions could be opened to tours, to show that laboratory animals receive humane care.[4-5]Finally, because the ultimate stakeholders are patients, the health research community should actively recruit to its cause not only well-known personalities such as Stephen Cooper, who has made courageous statements about the value of animal research, but all who receive medical treatment.[4-6]If good people do nothing, there is a real possibility that an uninformed citizenry will extinguish the precious embers of medical progress.26. The author begins his article with Edmund Burke s words to[A] call on scientists to take some actions.[B] criticize the misguided cause of animal rights.[C] warn of the doom of biomedical research.[D] show the triumph of the animal rights movement.27.

According to those who support mergers, railway monopoly is unlikely because[A] cost reduction is based on competition.[B] services call for cross-trade coordination.[C] outside competitors will continue to exist.[D] shippers will have the railway by the throat.32.

The word arbiters (line 8, paragraph 4) most probably refers to those[A] who work as coordinators.[B] who function as judges.[C] who supervise transactions.[D] who determine the price.35. According to the text, the cost increase in the rail industry is mainly caused by[A] the continuing acquisition.[B] the growing traffic.[C] the cheering Wall Street.[D] the shrinking market.03-4Text 4[1-1]It is said that in England death is pressing, in Canada inevitable and in California optional.[1-2]Small wonder.[1-3]Americans life expectancy has nearly doubled over the past century.[1-4]Failing hips can be replaced, clinical depression controlled, cataracts removed in a 30-minute surgical procedure.[1-5]Such advances offer the aging population a quality of life that was unimaginable when I entered medicine 50 years ago.[1-6]But not even a great health-care system can cure death and our failure to confront that reality now threatens this greatness of ours.[2-1]Death is normal; we are genetically programmed to disintegrate and perish, even under ideal conditions.[2-2]We all understand that at some level, yet as medical consumers we treat death as a problem to be solved.[2-3]Shielded by third-party payers from the cost of our care, we demand everything that can possibly be done for us, even if it s useless.[2-4]The most obvious example is late-stage cancer care.[2-5]Physicians frustrated by their inability to cure the disease and fearing loss of hope in the patient too often offer aggressive treatment far beyond what is scientifically justified.[3-1]In 1950, the U.S. spent $12.7 billion on health care.[3-2]In 2002, the cost will be $1,540 billion.[3-3]Anyone can see this trend is unsustainable.[3-4]Yet few seem willing to try to reverse it.[3-5]Some scholars conclude that a government with finite resources should simply stop paying for medical care that sustains life beyond a certain age say 83 or so.[3-6]Former Colorado governor Richard Lamm has been quoted as saying that the old and infirm have a duty to die and get out of the way so that younger, healthier people can realize their potential.[4-1]I would not go that far.[4-2]Energetic people now routinely work through their 60s and beyond, and remain dazzlingly productive.[4-3]At 78, Viacom chairman Sumner Redstone jokingly claims to be 53.[4-4]Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O Connor is in her 70s, and former surgeon general C. Everett Koop chairs an Internet start-up in his 80s.[4-5]These leaders are living proof that prevention works and that we can manage the health problems that come naturally with age.[4-6]As a mere 68-year-old, I wish to age as productively as they have.[5-1]Yet there are limits to what a society can spend in this pursuit.[5-2]As a physician, I know the most costly and dramatic measures may be ineffective and painful.[5-3]I also know that people in Japan and Sweden, countries that spend far less on medical care, have achieved longer, healthier lives than we have.[5-3]As a nation, we may be overfunding the quest for unlikely cures while underfunding research on humbler therapies that could improve people s lives.36. What is implied in the first sentence?[A] Americans are better prepared for death than other people.[B] Americans enjoy a higher life quality than ever before.[C] Americans are over-confident of their medical technology.[D] Americans take a vain pride in their long life expectancy.37. The author uses the example of cancer patients to show that[A] medical resources are often wasted.[B] doctors are helpless against fatal diseases.[C] some treatments are too aggressive.[D] medical costs are becoming unaffordable.38. The author s attitude toward Richard Lamm s remark is one of[A] strong disapproval.[B] reserved consent.[C] slight contempt.[D] enthusiastic support.39.

The text intends to express the idea that[A] medicine will further prolong people s lives.[B] life beyond a certain limit is not worth living.[C] death should be accepted as a fact of life.[D] excessive demands increase the cost of health care.2018年考研英语基础课（词汇、语法难句与阅读基础）课堂精讲与复习备考的真题语料（6）02-1Text 1[1-1]If you intend using humor in your talk to make people smile, you must know how to identify shared experiences and problems.[1-2]Your humor must be relevant to the audience and should help to show them that you are one of them or that you understand their situation and are in sympathy with their point of view.[1-3]Depending on whom you are addressing, the problems will be different.[1-4]If you are talking to a group of managers, you may refer to the disorganized methods of their secretaries; alternatively if you are addressing secretaries, you may want to comment on their disorganized bosses.[2-1]Here is an example, which I heard at a nurses convention, of a story which works well because the audience all shared the same view of doctors.[2-2]A man arrives in heaven and is being shown around by St. Peter.[2-3]He sees wonderful accommodations, beautiful gardens, sunny weather, and so on.[2-4]Everyone is very peaceful, polite and friendly until, waiting in a line for lunch, the new arrival is suddenly pushed aside by a man in a white coat, who rushes to the head of the line, grabs his food and stomps over to a table by himself.[2-5] Who is that? the new arrival asked St. Peter.[2-6] Oh, that s God, came the reply, but sometimes he thinks he s a doctor.[3-1]If you are part of the group which you are addressing, you will be in a position to know the experiences and problems which are common to all of you and it ll be appropriate for you to make a passing remark about the inedible canteen food or the chairman s notorious bad taste in ties.[3-2]With other audiences you mustn t attempt to cut in with humor as they will resent an outsider making disparaging remarks about their canteen or their chairman.[3-3]You will be on safer ground if you stick to scapegoats like the Post Office or the telephone system.[4-1]If you feel awkward being humorous, you must practice so that it becomes more natural.[4-2]Include a few casual and apparently off-the-cuff remarks which you can deliver in a relaxed and unforced manner.[4-3]Often it s the delivery which causes the audience to smile, so speak slowly and remember that a raised eyebrow or an unbelieving look may help to show that you are making a light-hearted remark.[5-1]Look for the humor.[5-2]It often comes from the unexpected.[5-3]A twist on a familiar quote If at first you don t succeed, give up or a play on words or on a situation.[5-4]Search for exaggeration and understatements.[5-5]Look at your talk and pick out a few words or sentences which you can turn about and inject with humor.21. To make your humor work, you should[A] take advantage of different kinds of audience.[B] make fun of the disorganized people.[C] address different problems to different people.[D] show sympathy for your listeners.22. The joke about doctors implies that, in the eyes of nurses, they are[A] impolite to new arrivals.[B] very conscious of their godlike role.[C] entitled to some privileges.[D] very busy even during lunch hours.23. It can be inferred from the text that public services[A] have benefited many people.[B] are the focus of public attention.[C] are an inappropriate subject for humor.[D] have often been the laughing stock.24. To achieve the desired result, humorous stories should be delivered[A] in well-worded language.[B] as awkwardly as possible.[C] in exaggerated statements.[D] as casually as possible.25. The best title for the text may be[A] Use Humor Effectively.[B] Various Kinds of Humor.[C] Add Humor to Speech.[D] Different Humor Strategies.02-2Text 2[1-1]Since the dawn of human ingenuity, people have devised ever more cunning tools to cope with work that is dangerous, boring, burdensome, or just plain nasty.[1-2]That compulsion has resulted in robotics the science of conferring various human capabilities on machines.[1-3]And if scientists have yet to create the mechanical version of science fiction, they have begun to come close.[2-1]As a result, the modern world is increasingly populated by intelligent gizmos whose presence we barely notice but whose universal existence has removed much human labor.[2-2]Our factories hum to the rhythm of robot assembly arms.[2-3]Our banking is done at automated teller terminals that thank us with mechanical politeness for the transaction.[2-4]Our subway trains are controlled by tireless robot-drivers.[2-5]And thanks to the continual miniaturization of electronics and micro-mechanics, there are already robot systems that can perform some kinds of brain and bone surgery with submillimeter accuracy far greater precision than highly skilled physicians can achieve with their hands alone.[3-1]But if robots are to reach the next stage of laborsaving utility, they will have to operate with less human supervision and be able to make at least a few decisions for themselves goals that pose a real challenge.[3-2] While we know how to tell a robot to handle a specific error, says Dave Lavery, manager of a robotics program at NASA, we can t yet give a robot enough common sense to reliably interact with a dynamic world.[4-1]Indeed the quest for true artificial intelligence has produced very mixed results.[4-2]Despite a spell of initial optimism in the 1960s and 1970s when it appeared that transistor circuits and microprocessors might be able to copy the action of the human brain by the year 2010, researchers lately have begun to extend that forecast by decades if not centuries.[5-1]What they found, in attempting to model thought, is that the human brain s roughly one hundred billion nerve cells are much more talented and human perception far more complicated than previously imagined.[5-2]They have built robots that can recognize the error of a machine panel by a fraction of a millimeter in a controlled factory environment.[5-3]But the human mind can glimpse a rapidly changing scene and immediately disregard the 98 percent that is irrelevant, instantaneously focusing on the monkey at the side of a winding forest road or the single suspicious face in a big crowd.[5-4]The most advanced computer systems on Earth can t approach that kind of ability, and neuroscientists still don t know quite how we do it.26. Human ingenuity was initially demonstrated in[A] the use of machines to produce science fiction.[B] the wide use of machines in manufacturing industry.[C] the invention of tools for difficult and dangerous work.[D] the elite s cunning tackling of dangerous and boring work.27. The word gizmos (line 1, paragraph 2) most probably means[A] programs.[B] experts.[C] devices.[D] creatures.28. According to the text, what is beyond man s ability now is to design a robot that can[A] fulfill delicate tasks like performing brain surgery.[B] interact with human beings verbally.[C] have a little common sense.[D] respond independently to a changing world.29. Besides reducing human labor, robots can also[A] make a few decisions for themselves.[B] deal with some errors with human intervention.[C] improve factory environments.[D] cultivate human creativity.30. The author uses the example of a monkey to argue that robots are[A] expected to copy human brain in internal structure.[B] able to perceive abnormalities immediately.[C] far less able than human brain in focusing on relevant information.[D] best used in a controlled environment.02-3Text 3[1-1]Could the bad old days of economic decline be about to return?[1-2]Since OPEC agreed to supply-cuts in March, the price of crude oil has jumped to almost $26 a barrel, up from less than $ 10 last December.[1-3]This near-tripling of oil prices calls up scary memories of the 1973 oil shock, when prices quadrupled, and 1979-1980, when they also almost tripled.[1-4]Both previous shocks resulted in double-digit inflation and global economic decline.[1-5]So where are the headlines warning of gloom and doom this time?[2-1]The oil price was given another push up this week when Iraq suspended oil exports.[2-2]Strengthening economic growth, at the same time as winter grips the northern hemisphere, could push the price higher still in the short term.[3-1]Yet there are good reasons to expect the economic consequences now to be less severe than in the 1970s.[3-2]In most countries the cost of crude oil now accounts for a smaller share of the price of petrol than it did in the 1970s.[3-3]In Europe, taxes account for up to four-fifths of the retail price, so even quite big changes in the price of crude have a more muted effect on pump prices than in the past.[4-1]Rich economies are also less dependent on oil than they were, and so less sensitive to swings in the oil price.[4-2]Energy conservation, a shift to other fuels and a decline in the importance of heavy, energy-intensive industries have reduced oil consumption.[4-3]Software, consultancy and mobile telephones use far less oil than steel or car production.[4-4]For each dollar of GDP (inconstant prices) rich economies now use nearly 50% less oil than in 1973.[4-5]The OECD estimates in its latest Economic Outlook that, if oil prices averaged $ 22 a barrel for a full year, compared with $ 13 in 1998, this would increase the oil import bill in rich economies by only 0.25%-0.5% of GDP.[4-6]That is less than one-quarter of the income loss in 1974 or 1980.[4-7]On the other hand, oil-importing emerging economies to which heavy industry has shifted have become more energy-intensive, and so could be more seriously squeezed.[5-1]One more reason not to lose sleep over the rise in oil prices is that, unlike the rises in the 1970s, it has not occurred against the background of general commodity-price inflation and global excess demand.[5-2]A sizable portion of the world is only just emerging from economic decline.[5-3]The Economist s commodity price index is broadly unchanging from a year ago.[5-4]In 1973 commodity prices jumped by 70%, and in 1979 by almost 30%.31. The main reason for the latest rise of oil price is[A] global inflation.[B] reduction in supply.[C] fast growth in economy.[D] Iraq s suspension of exports.32. It can be inferred from the text that the retail price of petrol will go up dramatically if[A] price of crude rises.[B] commodity prices rise.[C] consumption rises.[D] oil taxes rise.33. The estimates in Economic Outlook show that in rich countries[A] heavy industry becomes more energy-intensive.[B] income loss mainly results from fluctuating crude oil prices.[C] manufacturing industry has been seriously squeezed.[D] oil price changes have no significant impact on GDP.34. We can draw a conclusion from the text that[A] oil-price shocks are less shocking now.[B] inflation seems irrelevant to oil-price shocks.[C] energy conservation can keep down the oil prices.[D] the price rise of crude leads to the shrinking of heavy industry.35. From the text we can see that the writer seems[A] optimistic.[B] sensitive.[C] gloomy.[D] scared.02-4Text 4[1-1]The Supreme Court s decisions on physician-assisted suicide carry important implications for how medicine seeks to relieve dying patients of pain and suffering.[2-1]Although it ruled that there is no constitutional right to physician-assisted suicide, the Court in effect supported the medical principle of double effect, a centuries-old moral principle holding that an action having two effects a good one that is intended and a harmful one that is foreseen is permissible if the actor intends only the good effect.[3-1]Doctors have used that principle in recent years to justify using high doses of morphine to control terminally ill patients pain, even though increasing dosages will eventually kill the patient.[4-1]Nancy Dubler, director of Montefiore Medical Center, contends that the principle will shield doctors who until now have very, very strongly insisted that they could not give patients sufficient medication to control their pain if that might hasten death.[5-1]George Annas, chair of the health law department at Boston University, maintains that, as long as a doctor prescribes a drug for a legitimate medical purpose, the doctor has done nothing illegal even if the patient uses the drug to hasten death.[5-2] It s like surgery, he says.[5-3] We don t call those deaths homicides because the doctors didn t intend to kill their patients, although they risked their death.[5-4]If you re a physician, you can risk your patient s suicide as long as you don t intend their suicide.[6-1]On another level, many in the medical community acknowledge that the assisted-suicide debate has been fueled in part by the despair of patients for whom modern medicine has prolonged the physical agony of dying.[7-1]Just three weeks before the Court s ruling on physician-assisted suicide, the National Academy of Science (NAS) released a two-volume report, Approaching Death: Improving Care at the End of Life.[7-2]It identifies the undertreatment of pain and the aggressive use of ineffectual and forced medical procedures that may prolong and even dishonor the period of dying as the twin problems of end-of-life care.[8-1]The profession is taking steps to require young doctors to train in hospices, to test knowledge of aggressive pain management therapies, to develop a Medicare billing code for hospital-based care, and to develop new standards for assessing and treating pain at the end of life.[9-1]Annas says lawyers can play a key role in insisting that these well-meaning medical initiatives translate into better care.[9-2] Large numbers of physicians seem unconcerned with the pain their patients are needlessly and predictably suffering, to the extent that it constitutes systematic patient abuse.[9-3]He says medical licensing boards must make it clear that painful deaths are presumptively ones that are incompetently managed and should result in license suspension.36. From the first three paragraphs, we learn that[A] doctors used to increase drug dosages to control their patients pain.[B] it is still illegal for doctors to help the dying end their lives.[C] the Supreme Court strongly opposes physician-assisted suicide.[D] patients have no constitutional right to commit suicide.37. Which of the following statements is true according to the text?[A] Doctors will be held guilty if they risk their patients death.[B] Modern medicine has assisted terminally ill patients in painless recovery.[C] The Court ruled that high-dosage pain-relieving medication can be prescribed.[D] A doctor s medication is no longer justified by his intentions.38. According to the NAS s report, one of the problems in end-of-life care is[A] prolonged medical procedures.[B] inadequate treatment of pain.[C] systematic drug abuse.[D] insufficient hospital care.39. Which of the following best defines the word aggressive (line 4, paragraph 7)?[A] Bold.[B] Harmful.[C] Careless.[D] Desperate.40. George Annas would probably agree that doctors should be punished if they[A] manage their patients incompetently.[B] give patients more medicine than needed.[C] reduce drug dosages for their patients.[D] prolong the needless suffering of the patients.复习2001复习2000复习1999复习1998复习19972018年考研英语基础课（词汇、语法难句与阅读基础）课堂精讲与复习备考的真题语料（3）6月16日One Belt and One Road exhibitionOrganized by institutions including the China Arts Festival Foundation and the China Institute for Innovation and Development Strategy, the Silk Road Culture and Art Exhibition will open to the public on December 28 in Beijing.

In line with traditional Confucian thought, the concept passed on from generation to generation.For centuries, Chinese people followed the concept of raising a child to care for you in old age. But in recent years, this concept has come under pressurein the face of China"s rapid development.Parents may well have to live apart from their only child in their old age, with no relative to look after them since children no longer want to live in their hometowns. While many netizens were sympathetic with the parents, many others also argued that it"s selfish for parents to demand their child throw away their dreams just to take care of them.Furthermore, because of the decades-long one-child policy, Chinese children face more pressure to take care of their parents than ever before. When grown, one child faces having four grandparents and two parents to take care of and no sibling with which they can share the burden.Such family story has aroused widespread discussion online, becoming one of the most popular news topics on social media. The case has touched on one of the most important issues facing a society going through rapid changes, what are our responsibilities to our elderly family members?It"s nice for children to have their dreams, but they need to think of their parents.There are still many gaps in the government"s old-age pension and care system. The current system, both public and private, cannot meet the needs of the growing elderly population.[数据]In 2016, China Youth Daily conducted a multiple-choice online survey on raising a child to care for you in old age.Out of the 2,002 respondents, 47% said they support this concept, 38.5% said they will consider it, while 39.8% said they don"t and 64.4% believe this mode is gradually fading.When talking about what they will do when they are elderly, 57.7% said they would choose to live with a partner or alone, 47.8% said they will choose to receive community-based care and 44% will live at a home, while only 28.1% say they want to live with their children.The data shows a changing reality and mindset. Nowadays, it is more and more difficult for children to stay and care for their parents in their old age.[数据]China has a huge number of senior citizens, who together are a heavy burden on the government.National Bureau of Statistics" data shows that in 2016, there were over 210 million people in China aged over 60. The bureau estimates that by 2030, there will be over 300 million elderly people in China.Official rhetoric concerning elderly care has also been shifting away from emphasizing children caring for parents. Just 10 years ago, some members of the Chinese People"s Political Consultative Conference have suggested the elderly depend on their homes to provide for their old age. Later on, some projects were proposed in which the elderly would mortgage their house in return for cash which could be spent on care.Building an elderly care system entirely dependent on government welfare is unrealistic. There are too many old people for the government to take care of.The elderly care industry is not prepared for the coming aging society and can only provide services for a few. In 2012, there were only enough elderly care homes nationwide to provide for 3 million seniors, which amounts to about 21 beds for every 1,000 elderly people. By 2014, the number had only increased to 25 beds per every 1,000 elderly.Under such circumstances, it is understandable that the elderly see little other choice than depending on their children.6月18日Balancing duty and freedom17-04-28 MB03What should a healthy relationship between parents and their children look like? What pops into my mind is one word: boundaries.A lack of boundaries is the key problem behind many family issues. Child is the center of the whole family and shoulders all the hopes and dreams that his/her parents want for themselves. When he/she get into a university, parents say that he/she has finally made them proud so that they can hold their heads high. Sounds pretty familiar, right?Many Chinese parents have said something similar to their kids. Deep down in many Chinese parents hearts, their child is not an independent and complete individual but something that belongs to them or is even part of them.To some extent, sending their child to college is like fulfilling a dream for themselves. So, it"s not hard to understand why some parents would expect their child to live their life the way they, the parents, want.Surely, you would say that every parent loves their kid and wants their company when he or she gets old. I think it is reasonable. Filial piety is a part of the Chinese tradition. However, it cannot be used as an excuse for people to deny their offspring"s right to choose their own life. That is not love. It"s a form of possession in the guise of love.I still remember what my mom said when I asked whether she regretted supporting me on a life journey that takes me further and further away from home.She said, Your happiness and future matter the most. I will be happy for you as long as you are happy yourself.This is what mature and true love is like, and I"m very grateful and lucky to have it and learn from it.Children should be more independent too, both economically and mentally. Spending all your parents" hard-earned money for higher education is not common in Western countries. Young people should try to be more financially independent and help relieve their parents" burden by applying for scholarships and doing part-time jobs. Academic pursuits should be your own responsibility, not a burden to your family members. Again, the keyword here is boundaries.Also, living far away from home doesn"t mean that you should ignore your parents. In the context of the Chinese traditional culture and social system, sons and daughters should take care of their elders and are duty-bound to support their parents by law.Regular visits and emotional and financial support are the basis for repaying someone who raised you, don"t you think so?6月19日Read a book why don t youDong Qing"s hot new hit show Readers has certainly struck a chord with viewers, reminding them of the value of a good book and reading.What"s really interesting is how ancient history is covered and how poets are given their long-overdue credit. It brings a sense of culture and elegance to light.In a world that is sometimes lost in the shallowness and banality of life, this series is one to reckon with the senses.I was pulled in by the show, which is something that does not often happen with TV shows anymore.The participants came from different industries and were very detail-oriented. There were endearing moments, some with tears and also moments of laughter.I sincerely admire the quality of the work and feel inspired.With modern technology, like most of China"s greats, reading is also disappearing.I sometimes feel sad because it distances us from the treasures left by the wiser older generation. But I"m not here to deny modern technology.Why don"t we place a book in our bag as we go to work or school?Whether we"re on the metro, a bus or waiting in a bank, we can take out a book and read a paragraph instead of wasting time on the phone.In other words, like the classics and the older generation, bring the good habit back. (224 words)Bullet trainsI love the concept behind China"s bullet trains. I"ve enjoyed traveling around the country on them.They are always on time, convenient and reasonably priced. They are also very clean and operate on a stable system that makes the passenger feel safe.China ought to be extremely proud of its train system. It"s really at the top of the world"s standards.6月20日A Tale of two cities17-04-26 P20People walk on top of the city wall in Xi"an, Shaanxi Province.An ancient capital for a large part of China"s history, Xi"an, now the capital of Northwest China"s Shaanxi Province, is regarded as one of the world"s four great ancient cities along with Athens, Rome and Cairo.Formerly known as Chang"an, Xi"an is not just famous for being the capital city during a number of dynasties, it is also famous for being the starting point of the ancient Silk Road.Considering its long history, it"s only natural that Xi"an boasts a large number of historic sites, especially some rare sites dating back to the Zhou (1046BC-256BC), Qin (221BC-206BC), Han (206BC-AD220) and Tang (618-907) dynasties. These connections to the past have created a unique cultural atmosphere that permeates throughout the city.For most visitors, the Terracotta Army is a must-see historical site more than a half-hour drive from the city center.Historical sites such as the Great Wild Goose Pagoda and the Small Wild Goose Pagoda, which housed Buddhist writings in the past, as well as the Tang Dynasty Furong Palace, the Huaqing Hot Springs and Famen Temple are also areas that visitors should not miss.During the prosperous Tang Dynasty, many foreigners came to the city for trade and to learn about Chinese culture. Emperor Taizong (598-649) ordered an area be set aside for thesegroups so they could settle down. This area is now known as Hui Fang (Hui Community). The community is one of the most popular spots for tourists looking to get a taste of local food.For those with a sweet tooth, you may want to head to Yongxing Fang, where you can find many delicious desserts local to Shaanxi.Of these relic sites, six are listed on UNESCO"s World Heritage List, including the Terracatta Warriors, the Great Wild Goose Pagoda, the Small Wilde Goose Pagoda, the relic site of the Daming Palace of the Tang Dynasty, The Site of the Weiyang Palace of the Western Han Dynasty (206BC-AD25) and the Xingjiao Temple Pagoda.City in a cityXi"an still has its ancient city wall.Built during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), the wall lies in the center of the city. Standing 12 meters high and 11.9 kilometers in length, the wall is more than 600 years old and is currently the most complete ancient city wall in China.Locals call the area inside the wall the old city. This is where lies the Drum Tower - widely acknowledged as the center of Xi"an, even though geographically speaking it is not actually at the center of the city anymore since Xi"an has expanded its city areas in recent decades.It was dusk when I climbed up stairs leading to the top of the wall. What I saw was an amazing scene in which the city"s modern buildings were kept out of the old city by a moat, while within the walls lay squat buildings built following traditional styles.Tourists can rent a bike and ride around on the wall for 45 yuan ($6.50) for a single bike for two hours, or 90 yuan ($13) for a tandem bicycle for the same amount of time.Since I prefer walking, I decided not to take a bike. As I walked along, the scent of flowers caught my attention. Curious, I popped my head out over the wall for a look and saw a wide green belt area nestled between the wall and the moat that was filled with white lilac trees that were in full bloom.On the old city side of the wall, hostels, inns, galleries, cafes and bars line the wall. All of them are inside buildings modeled after traditional architecture. My guide told me that this area is a favorite among young backpackers and foreigners who want to experience living in an ancient city.6月21日Tea Picking Festival opens in Anhui17-04-26 MB08A Swiss woman and her daughter play in the tea field.The third Tea Picking Festival is to open on April 15 in Ketan township, Lujiang county in Hefei, Anhui Province.

The county has initiated a series of favorable policies and new agriculture patterns to help the tea industry develop.6月22日A clean future[3] China has been reducing emissions since it made conserving energy and reducing the country"s carbon footprint part of its national strategy.[4] China will continue with its efforts to deal with climate change and actively participate in multilateral mechanisms to curb global warming, after US President Donald Trump announced his country"s withdrawal from the Paris Agreement on climate change, which is aimed at curbing change by capping greenhouse gas emissions.[1] Scientists and international society at large believe that global warming may prove disastrous to the human race.[2] China has promised to fight global warming despite needing colossal amounts of power to fuel its industrial development. Shifting to clean energy-generating methods is a major part of reducing carbon emissions.[数据] According to the 13th Energy Development Five-Year Plan, released in 2017, China will continue developing clean energy capacity and reducing its reliance on fossil fuel. Coal will go from supplying 66 percent of China"s energy in 2015 to 58 percent in 2020. Greater utilization of more efficient natural gas will account for around 10 percent of energy consumption by then.[数据] With all these efforts, per GDP unit carbon emissions will be reduced by 40-45 percent by 2020 from 2005 levels.[数据] In order to achieve this goal, non-fossil fuels will account for 15 percent of all energy consumption by 2020, up from 11.8 percent in 2015. The figure is expected to grow to 20 percent by 2030. Hydropower, solar energy, wind and nuclear power are China"s major sources of renewable energy.[数据] China already has the world"s largest clean energy capacity, and in 2015, the country"s investment in clean energy exceeded $100 billion, accounting for one-third of the world"s total, according to the International Renewable Energy Agency. More investment will pour in the field in order for wind-generated power capacity to reach 210 million kilowatts by 2020, and 500 million kilowatts by 2030; solar power capacity will reach 110 million kilowatts in 2020 and 600 million kilowatts in 2030.[数据] China is also home to the world"s fastest growing nuclear power generating capacity. Currently China is in fourth place in terms of total nuclear power capacity after the US, France and Russia, with 34 generators. But there are 20 generators under construction, and by 2020, the country will have more than 90 generators, second only to the US.6月23日As more people begin to use shared bikes for their daily commute, careless parking in public spaces has come with the popularity of shared bikes. It is no longer uncommon to see subway entrances,hutong, and entrances to residential compounds choked with shared bicycles, and it"s worse during public holidays. Both residents and tourists are inconvenienced. Complaints are made on social media.Uncivilized behaviors must be stopped. The users of civilized behavior should get credit on their social account and those who do not abide by the rules will lose their social credit.6月24日Taking care of trashAccording to the Xinhua News Agency, China"s 246 big- and medium-sized cities produced 185.64 million tons of household garbage in 2015.A 2015 report released by the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences showed that only 6.5 percent of the locals surveyed said they fully sort out garbage while 32 percent said they never did any kind of sorting.Beijing will have no more landfill space within the next five years, the China News Service reported on May 4, 2017. Meanwhile, incineration plants have long been a source of controversy in China, with residents in Hunan, Guangdong and Zhejiang provinces taking to the streets to protest against plans to build them nearby.In a plan of 2017 to enforce garbage sorting in 46 cities, China vowed to increase the household garbage recycling rate to 35 percent by the end of 2020 in the 46 cities. (142 words)It is well known that hazardous waste such as batteries and drugs, perishable rubbish such as meat and fruit, as well as recyclable materials, must all be sorted.Though China has been promoting garbage sorting since 2000, progress has been less than satisfying.Why, how to and what for?Unlike badhabits that can kill such as drunk driving or running a red light, leaving garbage unsorted causes invisible damage, and the cost of dealing with it is not shouldered by individuals.However, if trash is not sorted properly, waste cannot be fully reused or recycled, and the disposal process is harder.Currently, around 60 percent of household waste is buried and 30 percent is burned.Besides the impact on the environment and human health that burning or burying unsorted garbage has, the two approaches are not sustainable.Cleaner disposal practices, such as recycling, could potentially deal with as much as 70 percent of garbage within the next ten years. (160 words)It will still take the efforts of generations to form the habit of sorting household waste.We should set a bottom line for administrative bodies, which can no longer run away from their duties, or they will be held accountable.Restrictions and punishments could be instituted for business or individuals which do not sort waste, such as suspending garbage removal or charging expensive fees to take away unsorted waste.In severe cases, detentions could be handed out to those who repeatedly defy the sorting decree and cause considerable damage.(89 words)Several attempts to promote garbage sorting have been introduced in recent decades. For instance, Shanghai began sorting organic and inorganic garbage in 1995, and then started classifying garbage into glass, hazardous waste, recyclable waste and other waste in 2008.In 2011, Shanghai redesigned its public dustbins to contain either kitchen garbage or other garbage in an attempt to get locals to separate wet and dry waste themselves.(67 words)6月25日China"s online bike-sharing platforms have increased rapidly, with more than 30 service providers nationwide. More than 10 million bikes have been put onto the market and more than 100 million people have registered to use the services.The booming industry has benefited short-distance transportation, facilitated connections between bus and subway services in the cities, and better satisfied public demand. It has also helped ease traffic jams and contributed to the country"s building of a green transport system. However, disorderly management has also brought some problems and potential safety risks.To tackle those problems, local governments, such as in Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai and Hangzhou, should release documents on regulation of bike-sharing services to ensure its healthy development. On the basis of collecting public opinions on the services and the existing management rules of local governments, the Ministry of Transport should issue a guideline on encouraging and regulating bike-sharing services.The government should also increase funding to build bike-based transport networks and regulate the parking areas of bike-sharing services more strictly to solve the problem of disorderly parking. Education campaigns must also be carried out to raise the awareness of bike users of abiding by bike parking rules.6月26日May 31, 2017A trip is one of the must-dos for university studentsThe trips have become a popular choice for many young people.

It seems like our university life will be completed only after doing it. It"s part of the ritual to our student time and preparation to enter another phase of life. (54 words)To spend several days seeing a different view gives students not only unforgettable memories but also different meanings that may change their views of the world and influence their later lives.They"ve learned a lot about the world from books, the internet and chats with friends, so it is natural that they want to see them in person. Some students say that they really want to experience the scenes that appear in movies, dramas or cartoons and the cultural differences that they experience will offer a chance for them to reflect upon their life.As the only child of their family, they almost has had no chance to travel so far on their own for a long time, because their parents constantly worry about their safety.They want to face the unknown world on their own, and they really enjoyed such traveling. For example, it"s so comfortable for them to sit quietly on the bus to circle around a city that it reminds them of their hometowns. They really enjoy meeting a lot of people. Talking with them give them inspiration.They often realize from trip chatting that people will finally pursue what they really want, so the most important thing is to find out what a person really wants.Besides the rich meaning that students get from their trips, the traveling with classmates is first and foremost for fun.The trip gives them a unique chance to know one another. We"ve grown closer by the trip"s end. But it seems a little bit late because we are going to say goodbye.The biggest impression is that time flies really fast. The freshness of being on the road will finally turn into a kind of unwillingness to part.But after the trip, I think they can face anything unexpected and accept any kind of people, who are considered strange by many others.After their trips, Some students say Now, we can deal with any kind of accident with a clear head. We"ve learned not to judge other people"s lives. The travel has strengthened our determination to do what we really want to do.6月27日2 JuneOnline entertainment enters "golden age"BookmarkShareWordsContact Writer[1]Statistics from Beijing-based internet consultancy Analysys showed that the number of paying users of internet videos will increase from 61.3 million in 2016 to 97.73 million in 2018.

But the statement has not deterred some from starting and spreading rumorsSome rumors on food safety and environmental issues that have arisen since have not only disturbed the public and market order, but also undermined trust in the government.Legislation on cyberspace governance lags farther and farther behind the country"s needs. Lawmakers should expedite the making of a law to strictly define people"s legal rights and responsibilities in cyberspace.In the first place, the penalties for rumor makers and spreaders must be proportional to the consequences of the falsehoods.Only by means of a specific law and liabilities for those who break it will people"s awareness of the need to behave themselves in cyberspace be raised.

The recent hit show In the Name of the People vividly exposes the corrupted official environment, but at the same time, by depicting a positive image of several officials, I think it also helps boost the audience"s confidence in the Party and its ability to create a clean official environment.A country"s development needs good officials and support from the people. Such TV dramas can help deter potential corrupt officials and help people trust officials more.
