Put the following passage into Chinese:
1、Critics of early schooling cite research that questions whether 4-year-old children are ready to take on formal learning.Educators find that older toddlers are more likely to succeed during their school careers, whereas their younger counterparts are more likely to fail.Kindergarten children who turn five during the latter half of the year seem to be at a disadvantage when it comes to physical, emotional, social, and intellectual development.Additionally, children who are nearly six when they enter kindergarten tend to receive better grades and score higher on achievement tests throughout their schooling experience than do those who begin kindergarten having just turned five.Being bright and verbally skillful and being ready for school do not seem to be the same thing.It is easy to confuse the superficial poise and sophistication of many of today’s children with inner maturity.Indeed, evidence suggests that early schooling boomerangs: Youngsters whose parents push them to attain academic success in preschool are less creative, have more anxiety about tests, and, by the end of kindergarten, fail to maintain their initial academic advantage over their less-pressured peers.對早期教育的批評引用了關于4歲兒童是否應準備接受正規教育的研究報告。教育工作者發現,年齡較大的幼兒更容易在他們的學業中取得成功,而年齡較小的幼兒更容易失敗。幼兒園的孩子在快到五歲時面臨的生理、心理、社交和智力發展,似乎并不順利。此外,快到六歲的孩子上幼兒園時往往會獲得更好的成績,并在學業上比那些剛滿五歲上幼兒園的孩子成績更好。天資聰慧、擁有語言表達技能與準備好上學并不一樣。人們很容易將如今大多數內心成熟兒童的表面上自信與精明混淆。事實上,有證據表明,過早教育會適得其反:那些由被父母要求在幼兒園進行應試教育學習的兒童缺乏創造力,對考試更加焦慮,并在幼兒園結束時,與那些未被要求進行應試教育學習的兒童相比,并不能在學習上保持其最初的優勢。
Many psychologists and educators remain skeptical of approaches that place 4-year-olds in a formal educational setting.They question whether environmental enrichment can significantly alter the built-in developmental timetable of a child reared in a non disadvantaged home.They do not deny, however, the value of day-care centers and nursery schools that provide a homelike environment and allow children considerable freedom to play, develop at their own pace, and evolve their social skills.But they point out that many of the things children once did in first grade are now expected of them in kindergarten, and they worry lest more and more will now be asked of 4-year-olds.These psychologists and educators believe we are driving young children too hard and thereby depriving them of their childhood.許多心理學家和教育工作者對4歲兒童接受正規教育仍持懷疑態度。他們質疑豐富環境是否能顯著地改變貧窮家庭孩子的成長時間表。但并不否認托兒所、幼兒園的舒適環境、讓孩子自由玩耍、自由成長、提升社交能力的種種好處。但他們指出,過去孩子在小學一年級學習的知識現已在幼兒園進行學習,他們擔心越來越多的孩子被要求在4歲開始學習。這些心理學家和教育工作者認為,家長望子成龍心切,從而剝奪了孩子們的童年。
2、In country after country, talk of nonsmokers’ right is in the air.While a majority of countries have taken little or no action yet, some 30 nations have introduced legislative steps to control smoking.Many laws have been introduced in other countries to help clear the air for nonsmokers, or to cut cigarette consumption.In some developed countries the consumption of cigarettes has become more or less stabilized.However, in many developing nations, cigarette smoking is seen as a sign of economic progress—and is even encouraged.As more tobacco companies go international, new markets are sought to gain new smokers in those countries.For example, great efforts are made by the American tobacco industry to sell cigarettes in the Middle East and North Africa—where U.S.tobacco exports increased by more than 27 percent in 1974.Smoking is harmful to the health of people.World governments should conduct serious campaigns against it.Restrictions on cigarette advertisement, plus health warnings on packages and bans on public smoking in certain places such as theaters, cinemas and restaurants, are the most popular tools used by nations in support of nonsmokers or in curbing smoking.But world attention also is focusing on another step which will make the smoker increasingly self-conscious and uncomfortable about his habit.Great efforts should be made to inform young people especially of the dreadful consequences of taking up the habit.And cigarette price should be boosted.In the long run, there is no doubt that everybody would be much better-off if smoking were banned altogether, but people are not ready for such drastic action.不吸煙者的權利問題,正在一個又一個國家里開始議論。至今多數國家很少或還沒有采取措施,有三十個左右的國家已經采取法律程序控制吸煙。另一些國家則已制訂旨在為不吸煙者凈化空氣或消減紙煙消費量的多種法律。
在某些發達國家中。紙煙的消費量已漸趨穩定。然而在許多發展中國家里,吸煙卻被視為經濟發展的一種標志——甚至受到鼓勵。隨著更多的煙草公司走上國際化的道路,它們在這些國家中尋找新的市場,爭取更多的吸煙者。
吸煙對人民健康有害。世界各國政府應該開展認真的反對吸煙運動。限制香煙廣告,每包香煙上加印有害健康的警告,以及禁止在諸如影劇院和餐館等某些公共場所吸煙,這些都是許多國家用以支持不吸煙者和控制吸煙最常用的辦法。同時,人們也正把注意力集中在另一項措施上。這項措施將使吸煙者越來越意識到自己的不良習慣并為此感到不安。應該做出巨大努力告訴青年人抽煙的危害性,特別是養成抽煙習慣的可怕后果。而且香煙價格應予提高。
從長遠觀點看,毫無疑問,如果能完全禁止吸煙,那么每個人的境況將得到很大的改善。但對于采取這種極端措施,人們尚無準備。
3、We are told the mass media are the greatest organs for enlightenment that the world has yet seen;that in Britain, for instance, several million people see each issue of the current affairs programme, Panorama.It is true that never in human history were so many people so often and so much exposed to so many intimations about societies.This kind of exposure may well be a point of departure for acquiring certain important intellectual and imaginative qualities, width of judgment, a sense of the variety of possible attitudes.Yet in itself such exposure does not bring intellectual or imaginative development.It is no more than the masses of stone which lie around in a quarry and which may, conceivably, go to the making of a cathedral.The mass media cannot build the cathedral, and their way of showing the stones does not always prompt others to build.For the stones are presented within a self-contained and self-sufficient world in which, it is implied, simply to look at them, to observe fleetingly individually interesting points of difference between them is sufficient in itself.我們被告知,大眾媒體是世界上已見到的最大的啟蒙機關;例如,在英國幾百萬人全景看到每個問題的時事節目。的確,在人類歷史上從來沒有這么多的人如此頻繁和如此多的接觸到的關于社會的許多通知。這種接觸可能是獲得某些重要的智力和想象力品質,寬度的判斷,多種可能的態度的感覺的出發點。然而,這種接觸本身并不帶來智力或想象力的發展。它只不過是位于采石場的石頭群,而且可以想象地去建造一座大教堂。大眾傳媒不能建造大教堂,他們展示石頭的方式并不總是促使他人建造。因為石頭是在一個自給自足的的世界中呈現的,在這個世界里,暗示著只是看著它們,稍微觀察它們之間各自有趣的差異點就足夠了。
Life is indeed full of problems on which we have to — or feel we should try to — make decisions, as citizens or as private individuals.But neither the real difficulty of these decisions, nor their true and disturbing challenge to each individual, can often be communicated through the mass media.The disinclination to suggest real choice, individual decision, which is to be found in the mass media is not simply the product of a commercial desire to keep the customer happy.It is within the grain of mass communications.The organs of the Establishment, however well-intentioned they may be and whatever their form(the State, the Church, voluntary societies, political parties), have a vested interest in ensuring that the public boat is not violently rocked, and will so affect those who work within the mass media that they will be led insensibly towards forms of production which, though they go through the motions of dispute and enquiry, do not break through the skin to where such inquiries might really hurt.They will tend to move, when exposing problems, well within the accepted cliché-assumptions of democratic society and will tend neither radically to question these clichés nor to make a disturbing application of them to features of contemporary life.They will stress the ―stimulation‖ the programs give, but this soon becomes an agitation of problems for the sake of the interest of that agitation itself;they will therefore, again, assist a form of acceptance of the status quo(現狀).There were exceptions to this tendency, but they are uncharacteristic.無論作為公民或私人個人,生活確實充滿了我們必須(或者覺得我們應該努力)作出決定的問題。但是,無論是做決定的真正困難,還是它們對每個人的真實和煩人的挑戰,通常都不可以通過大眾媒體交流。建議真正的選擇,個人的決定,這是在大眾媒體中找到的不是簡單地是保持客戶滿意的商業愿望的產品。它在大眾傳播的谷物之內。機構的機構,不管其意圖是什么,無論他們的形式(國家,教會,志愿社團,政黨),都有既得利益確保公共船不會被猛烈搖晃,并將影響那些在大眾媒體中工作的人,他們將被毫不知情地引導到生產形式,盡管他們經歷了爭議和調查的動議,但不會突破皮膚,這樣的查詢可能真正傷害。當暴露問題時,他們傾向于移動,完全在民主社會所接受的陳詞濫調中,并且不會從根本上質疑這些陳詞濫調,也不會使他們對當代生活的特征產生令人不安的應用。他們將強調程序給出的“刺激”,但這很快就成為一個激動的問題,為了本身的興趣的興趣;他們將再次幫助接受現狀的現狀。這種趨勢有例外,但它們是不典型的。
The result can be seen in a hundred radio and television programs as plainly as in the normal treatment of public issues in the popular press.Different levels of background in the readers or viewers may be assumed, but what usually takes place is a substitute for the process of arriving at judgment.Programs such as this are noteworthy less for the ―stimulation‖ they offer than for the fact that stimulation(repeated at regular intervals)may become a substitute for and so a hindrance to judgments carefully arrived at and tested in the mind and on the pulses.Mass communications, then, do not ignore intellectual matters;they tend to castrate(使…喪失活力)them, to allow them to sit on the side of the fireplace, sleek and useless, a family plaything.結果可以在一百個廣播和電視節目中看到,正如普通新聞中公眾問題的正常處理一樣??梢约俣ㄗx者或觀看者中的不同級別的背景,但是通常發生的是替代判斷的過程。這樣的程序對于它們提供的“刺激”顯然比對于刺激(以固定間隔重復)可能成為代替并且因此妨礙在心理和脈沖中仔細地到達和測試的判斷的事實而言更少。那么,大眾傳播,不要忽視智力問題;他們傾向于閹割(讓...喪失活力)他們,讓他們坐在壁爐邊,時尚而無用,家庭玩弄。
4、Writing, as a career, offers a range of personal rewards.It enables people to express themselves, as well as to entertain, inform, and influence others.With only a few tools--paper, a typewriter, a pencil, and often a personal computer, a writer can have an impact on the surrounding world.But most authors spend hundreds of hours perfecting their skills before they can sell any of their works.寫作,作為一個職業,能為個人提供一系列的獎勵。它使人們能夠表達自己,以及娛樂自己娛樂,通知和影響他人。只需要幾個工具they can be chosen from a toolbox and applied as necessary.A few other techniques you might find in a speechwriter's toolbox might be the use of imagery, anecdotes and alliteration.So next time you have to prepare a speech or presentation, try applying one or more of these techniques and see if you have what it takes to be a winning speechwriter.這些技巧就像工具一般,當你需要的時候,你只需從工具箱里選擇一件合適的就行。在演講稿撰寫者的工具箱中可能會發現的一些其他技術可能是使用圖像,軼事和諷刺。
所以,下一次你必須準備一個演講或演示文稿的時候,試著用上面提到的技巧,看看你是否能成為一個成功的演講稿撰寫人。
11、What makes an original contributor in science is often not only ability, but also something else, something apparently intangible, and not easily detected.This extra something lies deeply within the individual and needs to be nurtured and tested.一個人在科學上要有獨創的貢獻,往往并非單純的能力問題,而是還有一些別的因素,一些表面上觸摸不著的、難于覺察的東西。這些外加的東西深深寓于個人之中,需要培養并經受考驗。
Motivation is a personal trait that is primarily instilled by seniors such as teachers or parents.An important aspect in developing motivation is the setting of goals.A person probably has set long-range goals, or at this point more like dreams, such as winning the Nobel Prize.This is great as long as the individual is realistically working toward short-range goals also.These are the day-to-day accomplishments that really make working hard seem fun.動力是因人而異的,主要由長者逐漸灌輸,諸如教師或父母。培養動力的一個重要方面是確定目標。一個人可能已樹立起長遠的奮斗目標,這在當時看來還很不現實,比方說要獲得諾貝爾獎。其實這是很好的,只要他同時能現實地向短期的目標去努力,這些就是日常的成就,這些成就確實能使艱苦工作顯得饒有興趣。
Proficiency in anything requires a great deal of determination and self-discipline.I addition, a person’s ability to cope with frustration is also an important factor in one’s life career.Repeated failures at making experiments may be too much for many talented would-be scientists.The determination to continue, with the realization that everything worthwhile takes a great deal of patience, is an essential requirement.These factors, together with inherent dedication, will bring about the realization of one’s aspirations.Through all this it is not the triumph but the struggle that brings about the complete personal satisfaction in knowing that you as a scientist have given your all.要精通任何事情都需要極大的決心和自律精神。此外,一個人應付挫折的能力也是他畢生事業中起作用的一個重要因素。對于許多有天賦的想要成為科學家的人來說,在實驗過程中屢遭失敗,可能是非常難受的。認識到凡是值得去做的一切事情都需要極大的耐心并決心繼續做下去,這是必備的基本條件。這些因素,再加上固有的獻身精神,將會促使個人的強烈愿望得以實現。由于這一切并不是勝利,而是奮斗,你會產生一種只有你本人才能領略到的完全的滿足,因為你意識到作為一個科學工作者你已經獻出了你的一切。
12、I would compare reading to visiting friends — in the spiritual rather than physical sense.Opening the book is like getting into the door uninvited;and turning a few pages, we may find ourselves in his study.Besides, we can go visit him as frequently as we want and at any time we wish.If we fail to get the pith of his argument, we can just leave without saying “good-bye” or turn to someone else for help, and come back to challenge him.在我覺得讀書好比串門兒——“隱身”的串門兒。要參見欽佩的老師或拜謁有名的學者,不必事前打招呼求見,也不怕攪擾主人。翻開書面就闖進大門,翻過幾頁就升堂入室;而且可以經常去,時刻去,如果不得要領,還可以不辭而別,或者另找高明,和他對質。
We can get close to the host and listen to every word he has to say, no matter where he resides, at home or abroad, what a person he was or is, a contemporary or a man of the past, whatever field he specializes in, or whether he is talking about a serious subject of importance or simply chatting plus cracking jokes.-不問我們要拜見的主人住在國內國外,不問他屬于現代古代,不問他什么專業,不問他講正經大道理或聊天說笑,都可以挨近前去聽個足夠。
We can indulge ourselves in the anecdotes and amazing tales of the past, and appreciate the profound nouveau theories of our own age or hear sensational arguments meant to shock the world.In a nutshell, we can bang the door shut —closing the book that is —the minute we find anything disagreeable or distasteful, and leave forthwith.No one will blame us.This is the kind of freedom we can hardly expect other than from the books.我們可以傾聽前朝列代的遺聞逸事,也可以領教當代最奧妙的創新理論或有意驚人的故作高論。反正話不投機或言不入耳,不妨抽身退場,甚至砰一下推上大門——就是說,拍地合上書面——誰也不會嗔怪。這是書以外的世界里難得的自由!
13、The current visit to Taiwan for exchange, brief and cursory as it is, has enabled us to see many places, to visit old friends while making new acquaintances.Whenever people gather together, an important topic of discussion has been how the Chinese nation can become prosperous and powerful in the 21st century.Although the young people on the Mainland and in Taiwan live in different social contexts, with their individually different experiences of life, in the innermost recesses of their hearts are wrought an indelible mark by the fine traditions of the Chinese culture.They all cherish the same ideal to rejuvenate the Chinese nation.In this great epoch at the turn of the century, our motherland is developing toward greater prosperity and powerfulness.People across the Taiwan Straits are bound to strengthen their exchanges and will mutually promote the earliest possible achievement of the great cause of reunification of the motherland.The precious opportunities and the tremendous challenges at the turn of the century have pushed the young people to the foreground of the historical arena.At this transitional phase between the two millennia, in what way the young generation should embrace the forthcoming new century replete with hopes is a question to which we have to seek an answer.這次到臺灣訪問交流,雖然行程匆匆,但是,看了不少地方,訪了舊友,交了新知,大家走到一起,談論的一個重要話題就是中華民族在21世紀的強盛。雖然祖國大陸、臺灣的青年生活在不同的社會環境中,有著各自不同的生活經歷,但大家的內心都深深銘刻著中華文化優秀傳統的印記,都擁有著振興中華民族的共同理想。在世紀之交的偉大時代,我們的祖國正在走向繁榮富強,海峽兩岸人民也將加強交流,共同推進祖國統一大業的早日完成。世紀之交的寶貴機遇和巨大挑戰將青年推到了歷史的前臺。跨世紀的青年一代應該用什么樣的姿態迎接充滿希望的新世紀,這是我們必須回答的問題。
14、The culture of any society is usually thought to be of two kinds: material and non-material.Material culture includes the man-made phenomena which have physical properties such as height, breadth, and weight.A boat, a machine, a house—all these objects are part of the material culture.The non-material culture is that portion of the environment which surrounds man and which has an impact on his behavior but which lacks these material properties: values, beliefs, traditions, and all the other habits and ideas invented and acquired by man as a member of society.Contemporary sociological theory tends to assign primary importance to the non-material culture in choosing problems for study.It assumes, for example, that boats, planes, automobiles, and so forth, are not nearly so important as the traditions we have developed which make their manufacture possible—indeed, which prescribe how we are to use them.The emphasis of contemporary sociology is to insist that the material culture would not exist had not the non-material culture first been available to suggest the ideas which are embodied in the inventions of material culture.任何社會的文化一般都被分為兩類:物質文化和非物質文化。物質文化包括具有高度、寬度和重量等物理屬性的人為現象。/船、機器和房屋――所有這些東西都被歸為物質文化的一部分。非物質文化則是人類所處環境的一部分,它影響著人類的行為卻缺乏上述的那些物質屬性,非物質文化是人作為社會一員所創立和獲得的價值觀、信仰、傳統觀念及一切其他習慣和思想。
當代社會學理論在選擇說要研究的問題時,往往側重于非物質文化。比如,社會學理論認為船、飛機、汽車等物品的重要性遠不如人們為制造這些東西——確切地說是為規定其使用方法而形成的傳統觀念的重要性。當代社會學所強調的是,不若是先有了能孕育物質文化的非物質文化,物質文化就無從產生。
15、As a scourge of the modern society, obesity has become the world’s biggest public-health issue today--the main cause of heart disease, which kills more people these days than AIDS, malaria, war.Since the World Health Organization labeled obesity an “epidemic” in 2000, reports on its fearful consequences have come thick and Fast.Will public-health warnings, combined with media pressure, persuade people to get thinner, just as they finally put them off tobacco? Possibly.In the rich world, sales of healthier foods are booming and new figures suggest that over the past year Americans got very slightly thinner for the first time in recorded history.But even if Americans are losing a few ounces, it will be many years before the country solves the health problems caused by half a century’s dining to excess.And, everywhere else in the world, people are still piling on the pounds.That’s why there is now a consensus among doctors that governments should do something to stop them.作為現代社會的一個禍害,肥胖癥已成為當今世界上最大的公共衛生問題。肥胖是導致心臟病的主要原因,死于心臟病的人比死于艾滋病,瘧疾,戰爭的人更多。自從2000年世界衛生組織將肥胖癥定為一種流行病以來,肥胖癥會帶來可怕后果的報道鋪天蓋地。
公共衛生警告、媒體壓力,會說服人們減肥嗎,就像說服人們他們最終扔掉把煙草那樣?也許。在富裕的世界,健康食品的銷售蓬勃發展。新的數字表明,在過去一年中,美國人在記錄的歷史上第一次略微瘦了一些。但是,即使美國人減去了幾盎司,仍需要很多年來解決由半個世紀的過度用餐習慣引起的健康問題。而且,在世界上其他地方,人們還在變胖。這就是為什么現在醫生們已經達成共識,政府應該做些什么來阻止他們。
專業英語部分
Put the following paragraphs into Chinese:
1、Case law 判例法is built up out of precedents, and a precedent is a previous decision of a court which may, in certain circumstances, be binding on another court in deciding a similar case.This practice of following previous decisions is derived from custom, but it is a practice which is generally observed.Even in early times the itinerant judges adopted the doctrine of stare decisis, and this doctrine has been developed in modern times so that it means that a precedent binds, and must be followed in similar cases, subject to the powers to distinguish cases in certain circumstances.判例法是由一系列判例組合而成的。所謂判例,是先前的法庭所做的判決,在某些情況下,對另一法庭對類似案件所做的判決有約束力。遵循先前判決的實踐是從傳統中衍化出來的,但是這種實踐確實是被普遍遵循的。早期的巡回法官們就已經采取了遵循先例的原則,這種原則在現代日益發展為一種判例約束,在類似的案件中必須遵循,同時在特定情況下也有區分具體案例的權利。
2、The literal rule.According to this rule, the working of the Act must be construed according to its literal and grammatical meaning whatever the result may be.The same word must normally be construed throughout the Act in the same sense, and in the case of old statutes regard must be had to its contemporary meaning if there has been a change with the passage of time.文義規則。根據這一規則,一項法規的應用必須依照字面和語法的含義進行解釋,無論結果如何。對一項法規中同樣的詞語必須始終做同一解釋;對于適用舊法的案件,如果隨時間的推移已發生變化,則必須遵循當時的解釋。
3、In a very wide sense, the principle of legality – the ―rule of law‖法治 – refers to and requires not only a body of legal precepts but also supporting institutions, procedures, and values.The ―rule of law‖, according to an American Bar Association.Committee Report(published by International Commission of Jurists 1956), includes: ―1, That body of legal precepts governing, 2, those institutions vested with appropriate legal power, and 3, those legal procedures by which those precepts may be applied by those institutions – which together are designed to effect the protection of essential interests of individuals guaranteed by our society through limitations on the authority of the State.‖
在廣義上說,罪刑法定原則——“法治”——不僅指一系列的法規,更需要各種機構、程序和價值觀的支持。而“法治”,根據美國律師協會,委員會的報告(1956,國際律師會議出版)總結道“
1、法規本身起支配作用;
2、相關機構被賦予一定的法律權力;
3、用以實施相關法規的法律程序。他們共同的目的是通過限制國家權力影響社會對個人根本利益的保護。
4、The Code of Professional Responsibility 職業責任守則points the way to the aspiring and provides standards by which to judge the transgressor.Each lawyer must find within his own conscience the touchstone against which to test the extent to which his actions should rise above minimum standards, But in the last analysis it is the desire for the respect and confidence of the members of his profession and of the society which he serves that should provide to a lawyer the incentive for the highest possible degree of ethical conduct.The possible loss of that respect and confidence is the ultimate sanction.So long as its practitioners are guided by these principles, the law will continue to be a noble profession.This is its greatness and its strength, which permit of no compromise.職業責任守則規定了激勵的方法,同時也提供了處罰違規者的標準。每個律師都必須在內心的良知中找到試金石,以測試自己行為底線的邊界。但是,最新一項分析表明,律師所能做到的最高程度的道德行為,其動機來自于社會和同行的尊敬和信任。有可能失去這種尊敬和信任才是對一名律師的終極處罰。只要法律從業者被這些準則所指引,法律就始終會是一種高尚的職業,這就是它的偉大和力量所在,不允許任何妥協。
5、Crimes and Punishments犯罪與刑罰
Criminal justice is a vast, complex system.Briefly, it is that part of the legal system which, first of all, marks off certain behavior as wrong or “criminal”;second, takes steps to control or prevent that behavior by threats of punishment;and third, if prevention fails, tries to catch and to punish the wrongdoer.Familiar as the system is in some of its aspects, in others it is obscure and much misunderstood.犯罪與刑罰
刑事審判是一個龐大、復雜的系統。簡單地說,它是法律系統的一部分,首先,它界定出某種行為是錯誤的或是犯罪的;其次,它通過采取刑罰措施控制或防止不法行為;第三,如果預防措施失敗,刑事審判將試圖逮捕和懲罰違法犯罪者。在刑事審判的體系里,有一些方面是為人熟悉的,另一些方面則是模糊不清被誤解的。
To begin with, what is a crime? Every country has its own special list.The list is part of an elaborate statute which is usually called the penal code.The code describes conduct that is illegal and therefore criminal;it also sets out punishments.首先,什么是犯罪?每個國家都有自己獨特的目錄。這份目錄隸屬精心制定的一部法規——通常被稱為刑法典的一部分。刑法典描述什么樣的行為是非法的因而是犯罪的;刑法典也設定刑罰。
Some crimes are in the penal codes of every state: murder, manslaughter, robbery, burglary, rape, arson, and so on.Others are less universal.The Georgia code makes it a crime “to be a peeping Tom” or to invade a person's privacy with acts “of a similar nature.” The Georgia code also deals with the sale of obscene literature, shooting guns on Sunday, illegal use of credit cards and dozens of other offenses.每個國家的刑法典都包含的犯罪名錄包括:謀殺、過失殺人、搶劫、盜竊、強奸、縱火等。其他的一些犯罪名錄則不那么普遍。格魯吉亞刑法典將“偷窺”或者“侵犯他人隱私”等類似的行為設定為犯罪。格魯吉亞刑法典也處理販賣色情文學、禮拜日使用槍支、非法使用信用卡及其他許多違法行為。
The great, classic crimes are part of the social code, whatever their status in the legal code.The layman knows them as crimes.He has a rough working knowledge of what constitutes murder, even though he does not understand the law's technicalities and distinctions.Cold-blooded killing is murder, we know, although few of us can tell the difference between first-degree and second-degree murder, or what “malice” means, or what level of insanity excuses an act of killing.無論在法律法典中的地位如何,那些重要的、經典的犯罪都是社會法典的一部分。外行將這些行為稱之為犯罪,即使他不知道那些法律的法律術語和差別,他仍然能對什么是謀殺有粗淺的認識。盡管我們中的少數人能區分一級謀殺和二級謀殺的差別,并且了解什么是“惡意”或者什么程度的愚妄導致殺人,但是我們明白,冷血的殺戮即謀殺。
Punishment, too, is variable.It depends mostly on how serious the crime.Seriousness is not inherent in the criminal conduct;it is a social judgment.Legally speaking, serious crimes are called felonies;less serious crimes are called misdemeanors.The exact line between them is a matter of legal definition.In California, a felony is a crime which can be punished by death or by a year or more in prison;all others are misdemeanors, except for some petty acts(traffic violations, breaches of ordinances)which are called offenses.Offenses carry less of a punishment than crimes and have less of a stigma.A history of parking tickets is not a criminal record.刑罰也具有多變性。刑罰的多變性取決于犯罪的嚴重程度。嚴重性不是犯罪行為的內在屬性;它屬于一種社會的評判。從法律上說,嚴重犯罪被稱為重罪;不太嚴重的犯罪被稱為輕罪。它們之間確切的界限由法律來規定。在加尼福尼亞州,重罪可被判處死刑或者一年以上有期徒刑;除了一些細小的、被稱為違法的行為(如交通違法行為、其他違法行為)以外,其他的不法行為都被稱之為輕罪。違法行為承擔比犯罪輕的刑罰和罪名。收到停車罰單的記錄不屬于犯罪記錄。
6、Law Law, body of official rules and regulations, is generally found in constitutions, legislation, judicial opinions, and the like, that is used to govern a society and to control the behavior of its members.The nature and functions of law have varied throughout history.In modern societies, some authorized body such as a legislature or a court makes the law.It is backed by the coercive power of the state, which enforces the law by means of appropriate penalties or remedies.法律,即正式規章和法則的主體,通常見于憲法、立法、司法意見等,法律通常被用于管理社會和制約其成員的行為。法律的屬性和功能的變化貫穿歷史。在現代社會,一些諸如立法機關或是法院之類的獲準授權機構負責制定法律。法律由國家強制力以適當的懲罰或補救措施得以保障實施。
Formal legal rules and actions are usually distinguished from other means of social control and guides for behavior such as morality, public opinion, and custom or tradition.Of course, a lawmaker may respond to public opinion or other pressures, and a formal law may prohibit what is morally unacceptable.正式的法律法規和法律行為通常和其他諸如道德、輿論、傳統習俗等一類的社會調控及行為導向準則區別開來。當然,立法者可以對公眾意見或其他壓力做出反應,而一部正式的法律則會明確禁止道德上不被接受的行為。
Law serves a variety of functions.Laws against crimes, for example, help to maintain a peaceful, orderly, relatively stable society.Courts contribute to social stability by resolving disputes in a civilized fashion.Property and contract laws facilitate business activities and private planning.Laws limiting the powers of government help to provide some degree of freedom that would not otherwise be possible.Law has also been used as a mechanism for social change;for instance, at various times laws have been passed to inhibit social discrimination and to improve the quality of individual life in matters of health, education, and welfare.法律具有多種功能。法律打擊犯罪,例如,它幫助維持和平、有序、相對穩定的社會。法院通過解決文明風尚方面的糾紛為社會的穩定貢獻力量。財產與合同法為商業活動和個人規劃提供便利。法律限制政府的權力以幫助社會實現一定的自由度。法律也被用作社會變革機制,例如,不同時代決議通過的法律能夠抑制社會歧視,并提高個人在健康、教育、福利方面的生活質量。
Some experts believe the popular view of law overemphasizes its formal, coercive aspects.They point out that if a custom or norm is assured of judicial backing, it is, for practical purposes, law.On the other hand, a statute that is neither obeyed nor enforced is empty law.Social attitudes toward the formal law are a significant part of the law in process.The role of law in China and Japan, for example, is somewhat different from its role in Western nations.Respect for the processes of law is low, at least outside matters of business and industry.Tradition looms much larger in everyday life.Resort to legal resolution of a dispute is truly a last resort, with conciliation being the mechanism that is preferred for social control.一些專家認為,法律的流行觀點過分強調法律正式、強制性的方面。他們指出,如果一套風俗或標準以法律為司法后盾作保障,這是出于實用的目的。另一方面來看,一項既不被遵守又不被強制的法規屬于一紙空文。公眾對正式法律的社會態度在法律實施的過程中意義重大。法律在中國和日本扮演的角色與在西方國家扮演的角色有所不同。僅僅尊重法律的實施是低端的,至少在商業和工業領域外僅靠尊重實施是不夠的。傳統在日常生活中的影響力比法律大得多。與社會調控機制中被認為是首選的調解方式相比,訴諸法律的確是解決糾紛的最后之選。
Law is not completely a matter of human enactment;it also includes natural law.The best-known version of this view, that God's law is supreme, has had considerable influence in the United States and other Western societies.The civil rights movement, for example, was at least partially inspired by the belief in natural law.Such a belief seems implicit in the view that law should serve to promote human dignity, as for instance by the enforcement of equal rights for all.Muslim societies also embrace a kind of natural law, which is closely linked to the religion of Islam.法律并非完全由人制定;它也包括自然法則。這種觀點最有名的版本是“上帝的法律是至高無上的”,該觀點已在美國和其他西方社會產生相當大的影響。例如民權運動,至少有部分靈感出自對自然法則的信仰。民權運動的信念似乎隱含在“法律應有助于通過平等人權的強制執行來提升人的尊嚴”這樣的觀點中。連穆斯林社會也推崇的一種自然法則,亦與伊斯蘭宗教密切相關。
7、The US Constitution The US Constitution consists of seven articles and 27 amendments.The original seven articles took effect in 1789.The 27 amendments were added to the Constitution from 1791 to 1992.The first ten amendments were enacted in 1791;they are often called “the bill of rights.” It is very likely that more amendments will be added.美國憲法由7條正文和27篇修正案組成。最初的7條正文于1789年生效。27篇修正案于1791-1992年間陸續添加。前10篇修正案于1791年頒布,也就是通常所說的“權利法案”。修正案的數量可能仍會繼續增加。
People who don’t know anything about civil procedure or property law can recall the basic elements of the constitutional law: separation of powers;checks and balances;judicial review;due process and equal protection of law;freedom of speech, religion, and press.As the supreme law of the land, Constitutional Law texts are generally divided into two parts.The first part is about the allocation of powers.This entails two basic principles of American Constitution: separation of powers and division of powers.Both of the two principles function under one principle--checks and balances.The second part of the Constitution is on the specification of rights and liberties for the individuals.To realize the rights and liberties, the Framers were not only dependent on the allocation of powers, but also on another principle of the Constitution--limited government.即使對民事訴訟或者物權一無所知的人也可以想起憲法中的基本要素:三權分立、分權制衡、合憲性審查、程序正當和平等保護、言論自由、宗教信仰自由和出版自由。作為一國的最高法,憲法文本通常被分為兩部分。第一部分是關于權利配置的。美國憲法的兩個基本原則:三權分立和權利劃分。這兩種原則的功能是基于同一原則——分權制衡。憲法的第二部分細述了個人的權利和自由。為了實現自由和權利,立法者不能只依賴權力分配,還要依賴憲法的另一個重要原則——限制政府權力。
When you study Constitutional law, you should learn the sources that judges might rely upon to guide their constitutional interpretation(text of Constitution, intentions of framers, case precedent, policy consequences of alternative interpretations).Learn how judges are likely to weigh these various guides in various contexts.Understand historical trends and understand that judges are ultimately affected by the same economic and social forces as society as a whole.With a solid knowledge of these things, you will be able to make intelligent and potentially convincing arguments--and make reasonable predictions about the likelihood of your arguments being successful in an actual case involving the same issues.當你學習憲法時,你必須了解一些法官可能用來指引自己解釋憲法的材料(憲法文本、立法者意圖、判例、其他解釋的政策影響)。了解法官在各種不能的環境下可能如何權衡這些不同的指導性材料。理解歷史趨勢,并理解法官最終會受到整個社會同樣的經濟和社會力量的影響?;谶@些扎實的知識,你就可能提出明智和令人信服的論點——進而當在具體案例中涉及到同一問題時,才能對你的觀點可能成立做出合理的預測。
8、Damages The amount of money which a plaintiff(the person suing)may be awarded in a lawsuit.There are many types of damages.Special damages are those which actually were caused by the injury and include medical and hospital bills, ambulance charges, loss of wages, property repair or replacement costs or loss of money due on a contract.損害賠償
損害賠償是指在一件訴訟案件中原告(起訴人)可能獲得的金額。損害賠償有很多種。特殊損害賠償是指那些由傷害造成的,包括醫療和住院費、救護車費、誤工費、財物維修和更換費用、或者由于合同造成的金錢損失。
The second basic area of damages are general damages, which are presumed to be a result of the other party's actions, but are subjective both in nature and determination of value of damages.These include pain and suffering, future problems and crippling effect of an injury, loss of ability to perform various acts, shortening of life span, mental anguish, loss of companionship, loss of reputation(in a libel suit, for example), humiliation from scars, loss of anticipated business and other harm.損害賠償的第二個基本領域是一般損害賠償,它假設由另一方的訴訟引起,但無論在賠償種類還是損害賠償金額的決定方面都是主觀的。這些包括疼痛和痛苦,未來的問題和受傷的嚴重影響,喪失某種行為能力的損失,壽命的縮短、精神痛苦、失去伴侶、名譽損失(如誹謗案件中)、屈辱性疤痕、預期業務損失及其它損失。
The third major form of damage is exemplary(or punitive)damages, which combines punishment and the setting of public example.Exemplary damages may be awarded when the defendant acted in a malicious, violent, oppressive, fraudulent, wanton or grossly reckless way in causing the special and general damages to the plaintiff.On occasion punitive damages can be greater than the actual damages, as, for example, in a sexual harassment case or fraudulent schemes.損害賠償的第三種主要形式是示范性(或曰懲罰性)賠償,它結合了懲罰和公眾示范效應。如果被告以惡意、暴力、強迫、欺詐、肆意或魯莽的方式給原告造成特別或一般損害,那么就有可能獲得損害性賠償。有時懲罰性賠償要高于所造成的實際損失,如性騷擾案或欺詐案。
Although often asked for, they are seldom awarded.Nominal damages are those given when the actual harm is minor and an award is warranted under the circumstances.The most famous case was when Winston Churchill was awarded a shilling(about 25 cents)against author Louis Adamic, who had written that the British Prime Minister had been drunk at a dinner at the White House.Liquidated damages are those pre-set by the parties in a contract to be awarded in case one party defaults as in breach of contract.雖然經常被要求,但是很少被給予,象征性賠償被用于當實際損害很小,對方又同意給予賠償的情況。最著名的案例是丘吉爾獲得了作家路易·亞當1先令(約75美分)的補償,這位作家曾描述了這位前英國首相在白宮進餐時醉酒的情境。違約賠償金是指雙方預先在合同中約定,以便一方違約時賠付。
9、The Code of Professional Responsibility 職業責任守則points the way to the aspiring and provides standards by which to judge the transgressor.Each lawyer must find within his own conscience the touchstone against which to test the extent to which his actions should rise above minimum standards, But in the last analysis it is the desire for the respect and confidence of the members of his profession and of the society which he serves that should provide to a lawyer the incentive for the highest possible degree of ethical conduct.The possible loss of that respect and confidence is the ultimate sanction.So long as its practitioners are guided by these principles, the law will continue to be a noble profession.This is its greatness and its strength, which permit of no compromise.職業責任守則規定了激勵的方法,同時也提供了處罰違規者的標準。每個律師都必須在內心的良知中找到試金石,以測試自己行為底線的邊界。但是,最新一項分析表明,律師所能做到的最高程度的道德行為,其動機來自于社會和同行的尊敬和信任。有可能失去這種尊敬和信任才是對一名律師的終極處罰。只要法律從業者被這些準則所指引,法律就始終會是一種高尚的職業,這就是它的偉大和力量所在,不允許任何妥協。
10、To begin with, the legal system has structure.The structure of a legal system consists of this kind: the number and size of courts;their jurisdiction;and modes of appeal from one court to another.Structure also means how the legislature is organized, what a president can(legally)do or not do, what procedures the police department follows, and so on.Another aspect of the legal system is its substance.By this it meant the actual rules, norms, and behavior patterns of people inside the system.首先法律制度有其自身的結構。法律制度的結構包括:法院的數量及大?。凰鼈兊墓茌牱秶ㄔ洪g的上訴程序。制度也意味著立法機關是如何組織的,總統在法律范圍內能做什么或不能做什么,警察部門遵循什么程序,等等。法律制度的另外一層含義也可表示實質的法律法規。從這個層面上主要指實際的法律條款,規范以及人們的行為標準。
11、The law of contract is concerned with the enforcement of promissory obligations.Contractual liability is usually based on consent freely given in the form of an express promise or one implied in fact from the acts of the parties.In some circumstances, however, the courts will imply a promise(often called implied in law or quasi contract)in order to avoid unjust enrichment in spite of lack of consent by the party who is bound by.合同法所關心的是實現所約定的義務。通常,契約責任是以自由同意為基礎的。這種同意表現為當事人明示的允諾或事實上由當事人通過行為而默示允諾。但在某些情況下盡管受約束的一方并未同意,法院仍會推定允諾之存在(往往稱為由法律推定的契約即準契約),以免有人不當得利。
12、Paragraph 1 of Article 153 of the Criminal Law is amended as: “Whoever smuggles goods or articles not specified in Article 151, Article 152 and Article 347 herein shall, depending on the severity of the circumstances, be punished in accordance with the following provisions respectively:(1)If he/she smuggles goods and articles to evade or dodge the payable duties to a larger amount or commits smuggling again after being given administrative penalties twice against smuggling within one year, he/she shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years or criminal detention, and be concurrently subject to a fine of not less than one time but not more than five times the amount of payable duties evaded or dodged;(2)If the amount of payable duties evaded or dodged for smuggling goods and articles is huge or there are other serious circumstances, he/she shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years, and shall be concurrently subject to a fine of not less than one time but not more than five times the amount of payable duties evaded or dodged;
(3)If the amount of payable duties evaded or dodged for smuggling goods and articles is especially huge or there are other especially serious circumstances, he/she shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than ten years or life imprisonment, and shall be concurrently subject to a fine of not less than one time but not more than five times the amount of payable duties evaded or dodged or confiscation of property.” 刑法第153條1款修改為:走私本法第一百五十一條、第一百五十二條、第三百四十七條規定以外的貨物、物品的,根據情節輕重,分別依照下列規定處罰:
1、他走私貨物、物品逃避或回避應繳稅額數額較大或構成走私再次被給予行政處罰后一年內兩次打擊走私,處三年以下有期徒刑或者拘役,并處
偷逃應繳稅額一倍以上五倍以下罰金。
2、如果需要支付的偷逃走私貨物、物品巨大或者有其他嚴重情節的,,處三年以上十年以下有期徒刑,并處偷逃應繳稅額一倍以上五倍以下罰金;
3、如果應付偷逃走私貨物、物品數額特別巨大或者有其他特別嚴重
情節的,應當處十年以上有期徒刑或者無期徒刑,并處偷逃應繳稅額一倍以上五倍以下罰金或者沒收財產。
13、One article is added after Article 276 of the Criminal Law as Article 267(a): Whoever dodges labor remuneration payable to laborers by transferring property or escaping, or refuses to pay laborers although he/she has the capacity to make payment, if the amount is relatively large, and if he/she still refuses to pay after being so ordered by relevant government departments, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years or criminal detention, and be concurrently or separately fined.If serious consequences are caused, he/she shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than seven years and be concurrently fined.Where an entity commits the crime prescribed in the preceding Paragraph, the entity shall be fined, and the persons directly in charge and other persons subject to direct liabilities shall be punished in accordance with the provisions of the preceding Paragraph.Whoever commits the crime mentioned in the preceding two paragraphs but has not yet caused serious consequences may be given a mitigated punishment or be exempted from punishment, provided that he/she, prior to public prosecution, pays labor remuneration to laborers and bear the corresponding compensation liabilities in accordance with the law." 文章276條后增加了一條,作為刑法第267條:
以轉移財產、逃匿等方法逃避支付勞動者的勞動報酬或者有能力支付而不支付勞動者的勞動報酬,數額較大,經政府有關部門責令支付仍不支付的,處三年以下有期徒刑或者拘役,并處或者單處罰金;造成嚴重后果的,處三年以上七年以下有期徒刑,并處罰金。
單位犯前款罪的,對單位判處罰金,并對其直接負責的主管人員和其他直接責任人員,依照前款的規定處罰。有前兩款行為,尚未造成嚴重后果,在提起公訴前支付勞動者的勞動報酬,并依法承擔相應賠償責任的,可以減輕或者免除處罰。
14、Private Law Private law involves the various relationships that people have with one another and the rules that determine their legal rights and duties among themselves.The area is concerned with rules and principles pertaining to private ownership and use of property, contracts between individuals, family relationships, and redress by way of compensation for harm inflicted on one person by another.Historically, government involvement was usually minimal.Private law has also operated to provide general guidelines and security in private arrangements and interactions in ways that are complementary to morality and custom but that are not necessarily enforceable in a court of law, such as non-contractual promises and agreements within an association of private individuals.The relative significance of purely private law has decreased in modern times.Public law dominates in government-controlled societies;democratic societies increasingly have a mix of public and private law.The private sphere includes individuals and a vast array of groups, associations, organizations, and special legal entities such as corporations.They compete with one another and with government for control of resources, wealth, power, and the communication of ideas and values.Special fields of law, such as labor law, facilitate and control this competition.Much of such law is in the commercial and corporate areas.The formerly purely private law of property and contracts, for example, is now overlaid with legislation, regulations, and judicial decisions reflecting the competition.The public law of taxation has significant impact on the whole private sphere.Courts have increasingly regarded resolution of seemingly private disputes as vehicles for response to changing social conditions and values especially in the U.S.Thus, manufacturers have experienced an expansion of liability for physical injuries caused by defects in their products.The mechanism of insurance allows manufacturers to spread such costs across the general consuming public.私法
私法涉及到人與人之間的各種關系,以及確定彼此之間權利和義務的規則。這個領域涉及私有財產所有及使用的原則、個人和家庭關系之間的契約、一方對另一方造成損害的強制賠償。從歷史上看,私法很少涉及到政府。作為道德和習俗的補充,私法也對私下的協議和交往起到指引和保障的作用,但這種情況下在法庭上并不必然具有強制力,比如在私人協會內部的非契約性的承諾和協議。
純粹私法的相對重要性在近代有所降低。公法主導了由政府控制的社會。民主社會逐漸呈現出公法、私法相結合的趨勢。私人領域包括個人和大量的團體、協會、組織和類似公司這種特殊法律實體。他們互相競爭,而且和政府爭奪控制資源、財富、權利,以及思想和價值觀溝通。法律的特殊領域,如勞動法,推動和控制著這種競爭。
許多類似的法律出現在商業和企業領域。例如,財產和合同以前是純粹的私法,現在取而代之的立法、法規以及司法判決都體現了競爭。針對稅收的公法對私人領域影響深遠。法院針對看似私人爭議所做的決定,尤其在美國,越來越被視為回應不斷變化的社會條件和價值觀的驅動力。因此,制造商都經歷過由于產品缺陷造成人身傷害的擴大責任。保險機制使得制造商能夠把這些費用分攤到普通大眾消費者身上。
15、Self-defense means that a person is justified in the use of force against an aggressor when and to the extent it appears to her and she reasonably believes that such conduct is necessary to defend herself against such aggressor’s imminent use of unlawful force.Such justification requires both a belief on the part of defendant and the existence of facts that would persuade a reasonable person to that belief.Where self-defense is asserted, expert testimony on the battered woman syndrome may be offered to prove the reasonableness of defendant’s belief that she was in imminent danger.The interests in human dignity and privacy which the Fourth Amendment protects forbid any such intrusions on the mere chance that the fruit or evidence of crime might be obtained.In the absence of a clear indication that in fact such evidence will be found, these fundamental human interests require law officers to suffer the risk that such evidence may disappear unless there is an immediate search.Before a person can avail himself of the plea of self-defense against the charge of homicide, he must do everything in his power, consistent with his safety, to avoid the danger and avoid the necessity of taking life.正當防衛是指當侵害已經出現,或者她有足夠理由認為有必要對即將發生的不法侵害進行防衛時,使用暴力對抗侵害是正當的。這種辯護既需要相信被告的陳述,同時存在的事實要能夠說服一個理性的人也相信。
當聲稱正當防衛時,受虐婦女綜合癥專家的證詞可以證明被告對即將發生危險的相信是否具有合理性。
第四修正案對人的尊嚴和隱私進行了保護,嚴禁任何僅憑偶然獲得的犯罪結果或證據侵犯他人。如果沒有明確的跡象表明這樣的證據一定會被找到,這些基本人權使得檢察官面臨如果不立即搜查,證據有可能湮沒的風險。當一個人在殺人罪的指控下能夠做出有效的正當防衛辯護之前,他必須盡其所能的在保證自己安全的同時,避免危險和殺人。

Part III Reading Comprehension
(55 minutes, 40 points)
Directions: There are four passages in this part.Each of the passage is followed by five questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Passage One
The worst thing about television and radio is that they entertain us, saving us the trouble of entertaining ourselves.A hundred years ago, before all these devices were invented, if a person wanted to entertain himself with a song or a piece of music, he would have to do the singing himself or pick up a violin and play it.Now, all he has to do is turn on the radio or TV.As a result, singing and music have declined.Italians used to sing all the time.Now, they only do it in Hollywood movies.Indian movies are mostly a series of songs and dances trapped around silly stories.As a result, they don’t do much singing in Indian villages anymore.Indeed, ever since radio first came to life, there has been a terrible decline in amateur(業余的)singing throughout the world.There are two reasons for this sad decline: One, human beings are astonishingly lazy.Put a lift in a building, and people would rather take it than climb even two flights of steps.Similarly, invent a machine that sings, and people would rather let the machine sing than sing themselves.The other reason is that people are easily embarrassed.When there is a famous, talented musician readily available by pushing a button, which amateur violinist or pianist would want to try to entertain family or friends by himself? These earnest reflections came to me recently when two CDs arrived in the mail.They are historic recordings of famous writers reading their own works.It was thrilling to hear the voices from a long dead past in the late19th century.But today, reading out loud anything is no longer common.Today, we sing songs to our children until they are about two;we read simple books to them till they are about five, and once they have learnt to read themselves, we become deaf.We’re alive only to the sound of the TV and the stereo(立體聲音響)。
I count myself extremely lucky to have been born before TV became so common.I was about six before TV appeared.To keep us entertained, my mother had to do a good deal of singing and tell us endless tales.It was the same in many other homes.People spoke a language;they sang it, they recited it;it was something they could feel.Professional actors’ performance is extraordinarily revealing.But I still prefer my own reading, because it’s mine.For the same reason, people find karaoke(卡拉OK)liberating.It is almost the only electronic thing that gives them back their own voice.Even if their voices are 北京工商大學外國語學院 唐義均 tangyijun@263.net hopelessly out of tune, at least it is meaningful self-entertainment.36.The main idea of this passage is that _______.A.TV and radio can amuse us with beautiful songs and music B.TV and radio prevent us from self-entertainment C.people should sing songs and read books aloud themselves D.parents should sing songs and read books aloud to their children
37.According to the passage, Italians _______.A.only sing songs in Hollywood B.are no longer fond of music C.only sing and dance in villages D.don’t sing much nowadays
38.Which of the following is NOT the reason for the decline in amateur singing? A.It is easier for people to please themselves with songs through TV and radio.B.Amateurs feel embarrassed for they cannot sing as well as professionals.C.People don’t want to take the trouble to sing songs themselves.D.Famous and talented musicians can easily be met.39.When hearing the voices from the famous writers of a long dead past, the author _______.A.was very excited B.was very frightened
C.thought that writers shouldn’t read their own books D.thought the past recording was not of good quality
40.The author’s attitude toward karaoke is _______.A.negative
B.positive
C.neutral
D.indifferent
Passage Two
If those ―mad moments‖—when you can’t remember what your friend has told you or where you left your keys –-are becoming more frequent, mental exercises and a healthy brain diet may help.Just as bodies require more maintenance with the passing years, so do brains, which scientists now know show signs of aging as early as the 20s and 30s.―Brain aging starts at a very young age, younger than any of us had imagined and these processes continue gradually over the years,‖ said Dr.Gary Small, the director of the Center on Aging at the University of California, Los Angeles.―I’m convinced that it is never too early to get started on a mental or brain-fitness program,‖ he added.In his book, The Memory Bible, the 51-year-old neuroscientist(神經學家)lists what he refers to as the 10 suggestions for keeping the brain young.They include training memory, building skills, reducing stress, mental exercises, brain food and a healthy lifestyle.It’s a game plan for keeping brain cells sparking and neural networks in perfect shape.“Misplacing your keys a couple of times don’t mean you should start labeling your cabinets.4 北京工商大學外國語學院 唐義均 tangyijun@263.net Memory loss is not an inevitable consequence of aging.Our brains can fight back,‖ he said.Dr.Small provides the weapons for a full-scale attack.Simple memory tests give an indication of what you are up against and tools such as ―look‖ and ―connect‖ are designed to make sure that important things such as names and dates are never forgotten.―So if you wanted to learn names and faces, for example, you meet Mrs.Beatty and you notice a distinguishing facial feature, maybe a high eyebrow,‖ said Small.―You associate the first thing that comes to mind.I think of the actor Warren Beatty so I create a mental pictures of Warren Beatty kissing her brow.‖
Small admits it may sound a bit strange but he says it works.‖ Mental exercises could be anything from doing crossword puzzles and writing with your left hand if you are right handed or learning a language.It could be anything that is fun that people enjoy doing,‖ he added.He also recommends physical exercise, a low-fat diet and eating foods rich in fatty acids, such as fish, nuts, and fruits and vegetables high in antioxidants(抗氧化劑)including blueberries and onions in addition to reducing stress.41.The ―mad moment‖ in the first paragraph refers to the time when we ________.A.don’t listen to our friends B.have lost our important things C.have some mental problems D.have a bad memory
42.In this passage, the author mainly tells us ________.A.everyone has bad memories sometimes no matter how old he is B.we can prevent our mind from aging with various methods C.brain aging starts at the time when we are in the 20s and 30s D.memory loss is not the sign that we are getting old
43.By giving the example ―you meet Mrs.Beatty and you notice a distinguishing …eyebrow‖, Dr.Small is trying to explain the memory tool of ________.A.look
B.physical exercises C.connect
D.mental exercises
44.By saying ―I think of the actor Warren BEATTY so I create … her brow‖, Dr.Small is trying to explain the memory tool of ________.A.remembering facial features
B.reducing stress C.connecting related things
D.observing carefully
45.Mental exercises do NOT include________.A.writing with one’s left hand

Passage Three It may look like just another playgroup, but a unique educational center in Manhattan is really giving babies something to talk about.―It’s a school to teach languages to babies and young 北京工商大學外國語學院 唐義均 tangyijun@263.net children with games, songs—some of the classes also have arts and crafts,‖ said Francois Thibaut, the founder of the Language Workshop for Children, a place where babies become bilingual.Children as young as few months are exposed to French and Spanish before many of them can even speak English.Educators use special songs and visual(視覺的)aids to ensure that when a child is ready to talk, the languages will not be so foreign.“Children have a unique capacity to learn many languages at the same time,‖ said Thibaut.―Already at nine months, a child can tell the differences between the sounds he or she has heard since birth and the sounds he or she has never heard yet.‖ Thibaut says the best time to expose children to language is from birth to 3 years old.For the last 30 years, the school has been using what it calls the Thibaut Technique, a system that combines language lessons with child’s play.“I always wanted to learn Spanish, but by the time I got to high school it was too late to pick it up and speak fluently,‖ said Marc Lazare, who enrolled his son at the school.―I figured at this age, two, it’s a perfect time for him to learn.‖
Aside from learning a language, the kids also gain a tremendous sense of confidence.One young student boasted that aside from French, she can speak five languages(though that included ―monkey‖ and ―lion‖).The school gives children the tools to communicate, and sometimes that gives them an advantage over their parents.―I think they sometimes speak French when they think I won’t understand them,‖ said parent Foster Gibbons.Depending on the age group, classes run from 45 minutes up to 2 hours.Even when students are not in class, the program is designed to make sure the learning continues at home.Tapes and books are included so kids can practice on their own.46.The word ―bilingual‖ in the first paragraph probably means ________.A.capable of using two languages
B.both clever and confident C.aware of their own limitations and strengths
D.independent of their parents
47.The passage tells us that the best time for a child to learn languages is ___________.A.before seven years old
B.from birth to three years old C.in his childhood
D.in his teens
48.According to Thibaut, it is possible __________.A.for children to take advantage of their parents by using a foreign language B.to expose children to a foreign language after they can speak English C.to combine language lessons with sports games
D.for children to learn several languages at the same time
49.The school teaches language by __________.A.exposing children to the new environment B.using modern facilities and equipment C.combining language lessons with games D.giving children confidence
50.The best title for this text is __________.A.A Unique Language School for Children 北京工商大學外國語學院 唐義均 tangyijun@263.net B.The Foreign Language for Children to Learn C.Special Songs and Visual Aids in Learning D.The Best Way to Learn a Foreign Language
Passage Four The girls in this sixth grade class in East Palo Alto, California, all have the same access to computers as boys.But researchers say, by the time they get to high school, they are victims of what the researchers call a major new gender(性別)gap in technology.Janice Weinman of the American Association of University Women says, ―Girls tend to be less comfortable than boys with the computer.They use it more for word processing rather than for problem solving, rather than to discover new ways in which to understand information.‖
After re-examining a thousand studies, the American Association of University Women researchers found that girls make up only a small percentage of students in computer science classes.Girls consistently rate themselves significantly lower than boys in their ability and confidence in using computers.And they use computers less often than boys outside the classroom.An instructor of a computer lab says he’s already noticed some differences.Charles Cheadle of Cesar Chavez School says, ―Boys are not so afraid they might do something that will harm the computer, whereas girls are afraid they might break it somehow.‖
Six years ago, the software company Purple Moon noticed that girls’ computer usage was falling behind boys.Karen Gould says, ―The number one reason girls told us they don’t like computer games is not that they’re too violent, or too competitive.Girls just said they’re incredibly boring.‖
Purple Moon says it found what girls want, characters they can relate to and story lines relative to what’s going on in their own lives.Karen Gould of Purple Moon Software says, “What we definitely found from girls is that there is no intrinsic(固有的)reason why they wouldn’t want to play on a computer;it was just a content thing.‖
The sponsor of the study says it all boils down to this: the technology gender gap that separates the girls from the boys must be closed if women are to compete effectively with men in the 21st century.51.According to the passage, girls are victims of the gender gap in technology because __________.A.they can not discover new ways to use computers B.they have the same access to computers as boys C.they are likely to be less comfortable with computers D.they can only use computers for word processing
52.Girls often feel __________.A.bored with computer games
B.comfortable using computers C.it hard to use computers in word processing
D.worried about using computers
53.The research on girls and computers is ____________.A.based on a few recent articles
B.presented by one person 北京工商大學外國語學院 唐義均 tangyijun@263.net C.based on thousands of studies
D.not considered well grounded
54.The software company seems to think ___________.A.if girls had an equal chance of playing games, they would like computers B.if the software was more violent, girls would be more interested C.if the software content was changed, girls would be more interested D.if the character were funny, girls would like them better
55.The gender gap needs to be closed because ___________.A.it isn’t fair that boys are allowed to use computers all the time B.there isn’t enough money for upgrading computers C.most of the causes may boil down to a question of money D.the ability to use computers is important in today’s world

It happens to us all, however hard we may try to delay the process---we grow old.Surgery may remove wrinkles(皺紋), skin which has become less firm may be tightened by a surgical operation on the face, and hair dressers may dye grey hair a more youthful color.But we cannot remain young forever.Advances in medicine have made it possible for more people to stay alive longer.However what is important is the quality of life, and people age differently.Some people remain quite well and able to look after themselves when they get old.But others of the same age are not so lucky.They have to go into a nursing home in order to receive adequate care.The worst aspect of ageing is that often the mind becomes less alert.As people grow older, they often experience loss of short-term memory, although they may well be able to recall quite easily events that happened long ago.Later they may suffer from dementia(癡呆), a disease which gets gradually worse.By no means all elderly people are in this category.Many senior citizens are in possession of all their faculties and see retirement as a time of freedom.Not only that, if they have a generous retirement pension, they are likely to be quite well off, with money to spend on holidays and other luxuries.Because of this, both businesses and government have a new respect for what is known as grey power.By no means, however, does everyone treat OAPs with respect.There are some cultures which are noted for the great respect with which they treat their old people, but many people in other cultures regard the old as having a very low status in society and treat them accordingly.They often consider old people as having one foot in the grave.Someone should remind them that they, too, will be old one day.31.Elderly people who cannot look after themselves go to ______.A.nursing homes B.residences close to hospitals
C.community centers D.homes of their children
32.The worst aspect of ageing is ________.A.inability to look after oneself B.low retirement pension
C.getting more and more forgetful D.inadequate medical care
33.What is the reason that businesses respect the elderly?
A.The elderly are wise.B.The elderly have knowledge.C.The elderly are mentally alert.D.The elderly have spending power.34.―OAP‖(Para.5)most likely means ―_________‖.A.old age program B.old age power
C.old age party D.old age pensioner
35.According to the author, how people treat the elderly relates to _______.A.their occupations B.their cultural backgrounds
C.their education levels D.the amount of their free time Passage Two
The swan is mostly silent through its life, unable to sing sweet songs like most other birds, In Ancient times, however, people believed a swan sings the most beautiful song just before it dies.The ancient Greek philosopher Socrates talked of this 2, 300 years ago.Socrates explained that the swan was singing because it was happy.T he
bird was happy because it was going to serve the Greek God Apollo.Swans were holy to Apollo, the god of poetry and song.The story of the swan’s last song found a place in the works of other writers, including the early English writers Chaucer and Shakespeare.And the expression ―swan song ‖ has long been a part of the English language.At first, ―swan song ‖ meant the last work of a poet, musician or writer.Now, it means the final effort of any person.Someone’s swan song usually is also considered that person’s finest work.A political expression with a similar meaning is ―the last hurrah‖.The expression may be used to describe a politician’s last campaign, his final attempt to win cheers and votes.The last hurrah also can mean the last acts of a politician, before his term in office ends.Writer Edwin O’Connor made the expression popular in 1956.He wrote a book about the final years in the political life of a long time mayor of Boston.He called his book The Last Hurrah.Some language experts say the expression came from a name given to noisy supporters of Andrew Jackson, America’s seventh president.They cheered hurrah so loudly for Andy Jackson during his presidential campaign that they became known as the hurrah boys.Jackson’s hurrah boys also played a part in the election to choose the next president.Jackson’s choice was his vice president, Martin Van Buren.A newspaper of the time reported that Van Buren was elected president: ―…by the hurrah boys, and those who knew just enough to shout hurrah for Jackson.‖ President Jackson really heard his last hurrahs in the campaign of the man who would replace him in the White House.36.In ancient times, people believed that a swan sings most beautifully _______.A.before death B.when is happy
C.for Apollo D.in front of other birds
37.According to Socrates, swans were __________.A.holy birds B.happy birds
C.pets of a Greek God D.in front of other birds
38.The English expression ―swan song‖_________.A.was first used by Chaucer
B.changed its meaning through time
C.means the best song ever created
D.refers to a work of Shakespeare
39.Martin Van Buren _______.A.was the U.S.president before Jackson
B.served as the eighth U.S.president
C.is the author of The Last Hurrah
D.was a political rival of O’Connor
40.President Jackson’s last hurrah was to ________.A.express his gratitude to his supporters
B.win the final cheers from his supporters
C.defeat another candidate in the election
D.help his vice president get elected Passage Three
There is no question that academic enterprise has become increasingly global, particularly in the sciences.Nearly three million students now study outside their home countries——a 57% increase in the last decade.Foreign students now dominate many U.S.doctoral programs, accounting for 64% of Ph.Ds in computer science, for example.Faculty members are on the move, too.Half of the world’s top physicists no longer work in their native countries.And major institutions such as New York University are creating branch campuses in the Middle East and Asia.There are now 162satellite campuses worldwide, an increase of 43% in just the past three years.At the same time, growing numbers of traditional source countries for students, from South Korea to Saudi Arabia(沙特阿拉伯), are trying to improve both the quantity and quality of their own degrees, engaging in a fierce and expensive race to recruit students and create worldclass research universities of their own.Such competition has led to considerable hand-writing in the West.During a 2008 campaign stop, for instance, then-candidate Barack Obama expressed alarm about the threat that such academic competition poses to U.S.competitiveness.Such concerns are not limited to the United States.In some countries worries about educational competition and brain drains have led to academic protectionism.India, for instance, places legal and bureaucratic in front of Western universities that want to set up satellite campuses to enroll local students.Perhaps some of the anxiety over the new global academic enterprise is understandable.Particularly in a period of massive economic uncertainty.But educational protectionism is as big a mistake as trade protectionism is.The globalization of higher education should be embraced.not feared——including in the United States.There is every reason to believe that the worldwide competition for human talent, the race to produce innovative research, the push to extend university campuses to multiple countries, and the rush to train talented graduates who can strengthen economics increasingly knowledge –based economics will be good for the United States, as well.41.A feature of the globalization of the academic enterprise is that more students _____.A.study in foreign countries
B.major in computer science
C.take joint doctoral programs
D.return home after studying abroad
42.A satellite campus is probably a branch campus that a university sets up _________.A.in developed countries B.in another country
C inside another university D.on the Internet
43.The word ―hand-wringing ‖(Para.4)probably means ―________‖.A.anger B.in another country
C.interests D.delight
44.Academic protectionism is characterized by _____.A.enlarging enrollment of local students
B.limiting the growth of Ph.D.programs
C.creating more satellite campuses abroad
D.restricting satellite campuses of foreign universities
45.In the last paragraph, the author tries to emphasize that _____.A.the academic enterprise has become global
B.academic competition has led to protectionism
C.worries over educational competition are understandable
D.educational protectionism cannot be justified Passage Four
Who says your job leaves you no time to hit the gym? A detailed new study of U.S.physical activity patterns shows that men who work full-time whether their jobs are active or sedentary end up getting more exercise than healthy working –age men without a job.The new study comes from researchers at the National Institutes of Health(NIH), As part of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey in 2003, some, 1, 800 working-age adults were asked questions about their lifestyle and work habits, and, most importantly, they then agreed to wear an accelerometer—a device to measure their physical activity — over the course of several days.Those data from the accelerometers provide a rare opportunity to nail down how much activity the typical American actually does.They show that men or women who work in active jobs do more physical activity on weekdays than men or
women working in sedentary jobs.That’s perhaps not surprising, but the NIH researchers suggest that it still matters because of an ongoing shift in the economy toward sedentary work.The more surprising finding is the one that compares full-time workers to people who don’t work.The study shows that men with full-time jobs do more physical activity than healthy men without jobs.(―Healthy man, ‖ in this case, were those men who said their primary reason for being out of work was something other than health or disability.)In fact, even sedentary fulltime workers performed more weekday physical activity overall than the healthy non-workers
The results looked very different for women.Women in sedentary jobs did less physical activity on weekdays than their healthy non-working peers.So what drives the gender(性別)difference? The study looks at the patterns, and unfortunately can’t provide too much detail about their causes.There could be many possible answers, including, perhaps, different abilities to pay for leisure time activities, or different attitudes about work and physical activity.It could also be that more non-working women than men are choosing to be at home running around full-time after the kids.But the NIH researchers do find evidence, they write, to suggest that, whatever causes the difference, healthy non-working women ―are replacing work with active pursuits whereas ‖ for some reason —―[non-working ]men generally are not.‖
46.A sedentary job(Para.1)is one that involves ________.A.staying seated a lot B.intensive concentration
C.moving about a lot D.superb skills
47.What is the function of the accelerometers in the study?
A.They record people’s physical activities.B.They measure people’s workload.C.They distinguish gender differences.D.They push people to be more active.48.What is a possible reason for non-working women to be physically active?
A.They are well-educated.B.Their kids keep them busy.C.They are open-minded.D.Their husbands influence them.49.The study tries to identify________.A.the ongoing economy trend
B.evidence for gender differences
C.the American physical activity patterns
D.the relation between work and leisure
50.Who are the least physically active according to the study?
A.Men with sedentary jobs.B.Men with active jobs.C.Healthy women with no jobs.D.Healthy men with no jobs.Part IV Cloze Test(15 minutes, 10 points)
Directions: There are 10 blanks in the following passage.For each numbered blank, there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D.Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Ants first captured the attention of software engineers in the early 1990s.A single ant cannot do much on its own.But a group of ants 51 can solve complex problems.That inspired people like Marco Dorigo, who is one of the founders of a 52 known as group intelligence.Ants are good at choosing the shortest possible route between a food 53 and their nest.This reminds us of a classic computational travelling-salesman problem.Given a list of cities and their 54 apart, the salesman must find
the shortest route needed to visit each city once.As the number of cities 55 , the problem gets more complicated.Ants solve their own problem using chemical signals called pheromones(信息素).When an ant finds food, she takes it back to the nest, 56 a pheromone trail that will attract others.The more ants that 57 the trail, the stronger it becomes.58 the pheromones evaporate(揮發)quickly, so once all the food has been collected, the trail soon goes cold.This rapid evaporation means long trails are less 59 than short ones, all else being equal.Pheromones thus turn the 60 intelligence of the individual ants into something more powerful.51.A.by the way B.as a whole

Directions: Translate the following passage into Chinese and put your translation on the ANSWER SHEET.One of the keys to speaking English like a native is the ability to use and understand casual expressions, or idioms, American English is full of idioms.You won’t learn these expressions in a standard textbook.But you will hear them all the time in everyday conversations.You’ll also meet them in books, newspapers, magazines, and TV shows.Idioms add color to the language.Master idioms and your speech will be less awkward, less foreign.You’ll also understand more of that you read and hear.Often a student of English tries to translate idioms word-for-word, or literally.If you do this, you can end up asking, ‖what could this possibly mean?‖ This is why idioms are difficult: they work as groups of words, not as individual words.If you translate each word on its own, you’ll miss the meaning and in many cases end up with nonsense.Part VI Writing(30 minutes, 15 points)

英譯漢參考譯文
要把英語說得像本族人那么地道,關鍵之一是能夠理解和使用通俗用語或習語。美式英語中有大量習語。這些慣用語在一般教材中學不到,在日常對話里卻可以經常聽到,在圖書、報紙、雜志和電視節目里也會碰到。
習語可為語言增色。熟練掌握習語可減少口語表達的拗口、生澀,也有助于提高聽力和閱讀理解能力。英語學習者常常逐字翻譯或按字面意思直譯習語,這么做最終可能會抓不住其確切含義,因為習語以詞組形式出現,而非一單詞形式出現,這正是習語難以掌握的癥結所在。孤立譯出沒一個單詞,會丟失習語的本義,在很多情況下,還會使其毫無意義。

People today become increasingly concerned about health, a state of physical and mental well-being.For human beings, to be healthy means to be free from physical illness and mental or psychological problems.To say healthy, it’s of great importance to develop good lifestyles and behaviors, and to cultivate positive mentalities as well as individual abilities.Studies have shown that people can improve their physical health via regular exercise, adequate sleep, balanced diet, and absence of alcohol, smoke, and drugs.Also, people can keep mentally healthy if they have a positive mentality of optimism, confidence, resolution, broad vision and so forth.This kind of mentality will contribute quite a lot to their ability to cope with stresses and problems, overcome difficulties and obstacles and meet challenges, which, in turn, ensure a fruitful and happy life.This mentality will also result in strong character and personal satisfaction.To me, health means equal significance.I have made great efforts to try to stay health.Often, I do regular exercises to help strengthen my body and character.Also, I have tried to build healthy self-esteem and confidence, which helps me to see all my abilities and weaknesses together, accept them, and do my best with them.Finally, I always try to be optimistic to help me deal with all the frustrations and stresses in my life.With all this, I am confident to maintain both physical and mental health.

第五篇:中國政法大學MPA在職考研成功心得體會
中國政法大學mpa在職考研成功心得體會
簡單介紹一下自己的基本情況,基層一線苦逼小公務員一枚,11年畢業于一所非著名的全國重點大學通信工程專業,畢業至今考研的賊心一直沒死,今年是我大學畢業的第四年,所以,今年也是我第四次參加研究生考試,第一次,考研政治沒過線(請不要鄙視政治基礎太差的同學),失??;第二次,擬錄取,因為某些原因,自己放棄了,第三次,因為學校招生簡章沒看清楚導致報考錯誤,棄考。前三次考研雖然都失敗告終,但其實考研目標是很明確的,一定要是雙證的研究生,最好是學碩,至于專業,個人選擇其實比較隨意,每年考的專業都不一樣,考過經濟的,也考過通信的,還考過法律的(雖然有的只是停留在準備階段),所以雖然一直沒考上研究生,但好在知識的積累都是挺多的,這也為后來考mpa儲備了一定的知識基礎,在后期復習應考上面也省了一定的精力吧。隨著工作年限的逐年增加,越來越發現在當前這種環境下,沒有學校也沒有單位可以接受一個在職人員攻讀學碩,同時因為自己工作在一個小縣城,不像大城市,有很多高校開設周末班可以選擇,所以選擇面其實很窄,如果脫產的話在單位辛辛苦苦工作那么多年取得的成績基本也就歸零了,所以考研之路充滿荊棘。此外因為是工作以后讀研,更多的是為了學歷的提升,真正從事專業性工作的機會其實還是挺少的,讀研如果有什么好處的話,那就是能提升自己的某些方面能力,或者說也是為了以后轉行做鋪墊吧。
經過前三次的失敗,第四次準備考研的時候,已經對學碩表示完全絕望了,所以只能尋找其他的途徑,不影響工作的前提下能取得雙證(請原諒我對單證的碩士學位實在是沒有興趣),后來將目光放到了mpa上面,限制條件也很簡單,一要是雙證(這個一月份統考的mpa都是雙證),二要是可以集中授課(報考之前一定要先咨詢清楚,有的學校不可以),三是要有宿舍(這點對于外地同學個人認為最為重要,畢竟每學期一個月集中學習再找地方住其實挺不方便的),同時由于從小到大一直都生活在江蘇,所以希望能換個城市感受一下。首選上海,但復旦跟交大沒有集中授課,所以pass了,后來將目光放到了北京的高校,一開始看的是人大,也確實意向挺足的,但發現人大mpa是在蘇州上課的,所以又忍痛pass了(由于對自己的實力有充分的認識,所以一開始就沒考慮清華北大),報考法大也是一種機緣巧合吧,最初在論壇上看的是中財,結果點錯打開了法大的招生簡章,后來經過對比,覺得法大更適合自己,而且兩個學校實力差不多,只是偏重方向不一樣,一個側重政治、法律,一個側重經濟學,當然對于我個人而言,最重要的一點是法大有宿舍提供,而中財沒有宿舍,同時可能對于基層工作人員來講,法律思維要比經濟思維更重要,所以最終決定了選擇法大。
本科學的是通信工程,所以后面的幾次考研理論上講都屬于跨專業考研。對于跨專業,其實跨專業考生個人不需要太糾結這個問題,既然決定考了,就不要想太多的困難和不可能,要多想想可能性。大家都念過大學,大學四年如何過來的其實大家都差不多,真正的學霸也就那幾個,大部分同學考試都是靠突擊,考完知識基本都忘,如果再有劃重點的專業課老師,那么大部分的學生專業基礎也就只能呵呵了,所以本科什么專業的對考研沒什么太大影響,但跨專業比本專業考研同學付出的努力要多這是肯定的,畢竟本專業學生經過了四年的耳濡目染,入門肯定要比外專業的快,同時有問題交流也比跨專業的人要方便,掌握的資源也更充分,但跨專業考研的困難肯定也沒有想象的那么大。所以只要認定一個目標,就堅持下去吧。
先談談學碩的考研各科復習安排吧,由于不同專業考研科目不同,以我本科專業通信工程來舉例說明吧,雖然考了那么多專業的研究生,我最熟悉的其實還是通信專業。通信考研一共是四門,政治、英語、數學(理工科考的數學
一、不知道什么專業考的數學
二、經濟類考的數學三)、專業課(各專業考研專業課不同,但分值一樣),分值分別是100、100、150、150,總分500,國家線每年基本維持在280分左右,按百分制60分及格計算,其實國家線還沒達到及格線。關于各科復習安排,先談談政治吧,由于從高一開始就一直學的理工科,文科實在沒什么基礎,甚至可以用慘不忍睹來形容,最凄慘的一次關于政治的記憶是高一分科前最后一次考試,政治考了18分(滿分100分的試卷),然后就告別了政治這門學科,大學期間雖然也開設了相關課程,但最后考試也基本是突擊通過,此外也得益于大學考試試卷內容基本不更新,更新了也是換湯不換藥,所以每年考試背背往年試卷就通過了。但等到考研的時候又不得不撿起政治課本,開始惡補馬列、毛鄧以及哲學。第一年考研政治沒過線,雖然有基礎差的原因,更多的原因在于當年10月份底找好了工作,而那時候政治才剛開始復習,考試的時候政治都沒有系統的看完一遍,所以最后考研政治沒過線。但是后來兩次考研政治考的雖然不是很高的分數,但自己其實還是比較滿意的,兩次分數都在55分左右。正因如此,個人感覺就是政治復習其實不需要開始的太早,國慶節開始復習即可,因為政治考試偏向于記憶,當然也要理解,只有理解了才能記憶的更牢固,開始太早的話到后期也容易忘記,同時影響其他課程的復習,而且政治也不屬于拉開分差科目,考研在政治上折戟的不能說沒有,例如我,但是很少,當年我們班考研的同學政治沒過線的貌似就我一個。此外還有個小小的技巧就是理論上最近幾年考過的問答題考點,政治一般不會重復考,所以在復習的時候可以把以往曾經考過的簡答題考點直接pass掉,不用重點記憶,但還是要看,因為選擇題還是會考的。
關于英語,如果你不是英語基礎特別好的,其實最有效的辦法就是背單詞,背單詞的時間節點沒有早晚之說,可以隨時開始,每天起床上課路上可以背,晚上睡覺前可以背,下課去食堂路上也可以背,我的意思是英語單詞可以隨時隨地背,英語最重要的在于積累,每天記住一個你之前不認識的單詞,一年下來也365個了,不要看不起這365個單詞,英語考研大綱上的核心詞匯也才2000個,詞匯的儲備直接決定了你的英語水準,英語考試得閱讀者得天下,而決定閱讀水平的其實就是詞匯量,不管你語法多好,單詞不認識也是白搭??赡芎芏嗳俗畲蟮膯栴}不在于背單詞,而在于不能將背單詞這件事堅持下來,我自己當初也曾買了好幾本單詞書,正序、亂序的,還有核心詞匯的,等等,但一般也只能看前面幾頁,后面的從來都沒看過。此外,對于很多考生而言,英語仍舊停留在啞巴英語階段,既然我們單純的以考試為目的,所以只要認識單詞就行了,現在智能手機泛濫,有很多背單詞的軟件可以使用,個人用過幾個,感覺都很好,最主要的背單詞軟件可以強制的幫助你把背單詞進度往前推,并且及時有效的對背過的單詞進行復習,每天記50個單詞記不住,那假如我們每天只給自己定下記15個單詞的目標呢,是否更容易實現點?15個不行,10個可以嗎?知識在于積累,欲速則不達。如果條件允許,還有一個好的方法就是可以把歷年英語真題閱讀理解對照著翻譯幾遍,可能時間上會有點緊張,但英語真題認真梳理、鉆透過往五年的收貨收獲遠遠大于你做100套練習,如果能熟練研透過往五年的英語真題,英語基本65分以上還是沒問題的,十年內的真題其實就沒有必要了,英語復習在于精,不在于多。
