目前大部分在职研究生报考考试中都会设计到英语，由于职场多年很少接触英语，加上记忆力减退，这些都会成为英语考试的阻力。词汇记忆难一直是令很多考生头疼的事情，记单词有一定的技巧可以利用，但几遍反复强化的过程是必不可少的，否则单词很难记得牢，尤其要注意通过运用、做题来加以巩固。下面在职研究生网就为在职考生介绍下同等学力英语真题中单词记忆方法。1）首先，有一本词汇大纲对大多数人来说是必要的，尤其是那些词汇基础较差的学员，每天都要坚持看几页，强化一下基础词汇；2）最好的记忆单词的办法还是要通过做题。一是通过大量反复的词汇练习来强化对词汇及其用法的强化，这样的记忆更有针对性和重点性；这里强调一下反复的必要性，想在短期内记住大量的词汇是不现实的，必须经过一定的反复强化，所以做过的题目过一段时间再拿出来做，尤其对于词汇题来说是非常必要也是非常有效的。二是在做其它题目时注意重点词汇的积累，尤其是阅读中反复出现的重点词汇、词组，这样的印象会比较深刻。3）另外，平时一定要注意同义词、形近词的积累，这部分是重要的考点，也是词汇的难点，可将每次做过的题中的自己做错的，认为比较难的题目做个记号，以便后期的复习的时候能够抓住重点。看完上面同等学力英语单词的学习方法，想必多少会有收获。如果您想了解报考情况可在线咨询我们的老师，或登录在职研究生网进行查询。考研政策不清晰？在职申硕有困惑？院校专业不好选？点击底部官网，有专业老师为你答疑解惑，211\/985名校研究生硕士开放网申报名中。

为了方便考生做好考前复习工作，在职研究生相关招生老师为大家整理了一些同等学力申硕英语练习题。希望对大家有所帮助。

Only two countries in the advanced world provide no guarantee for paid leave from work to care for a newborn child. Last spring one of the two, Australia, gave up that dubious distinction by establishing paid family leave starting in 2011. I wasn’t surprised when this didn’t make the news here in the United States—we’re now the only wealthy country without such a policy.

The United States does have one explicit family policy, the Family and Medical Leave Act, passed in 1993. It entitles workers to as much as 12 weeks’ unpaid leave for care of a newborn or dealing with a family medical problem. Despite the modesty of the benefit, the Chamber of Commerce and other business groups fought it bitterly, describing it as “government-run personnel management” and a “dangerous precedent”. In fact, every step of the way, as (usually) Democratic leaders have tried to introduce work-family balance measures into the law, business groups have been strongly opposed.

As Yale law professor Anne Alstott argues, justifying parental support depends on defining the family as a social good that, in some sense, society must pay for. In her book No Exit：What Parents Owe Their Children and What Society Owes Parents, she argues that parents are burdened in many ways in their lives: there is “no exit” when it comes to children. “Society expects—and needs—parents to provide their children with continuity of care, meaning the intensive, intimate care that human beings need to develop their intellectual, emotional, and moral capabilities. And society expects—and needs—parents to persist in their role for 18 years, or longer if needed.”

While most parents do this out of love, there are public penalties for not providing care. What parents do, in other words, is of deep concern to the state, for the obvious reason that caring for children is not only morally urgent but essential for the future of society. The state recognizes this in the large body of family laws that govern children’s welfare, yet parents receive little help in meeting the life-changing obligations society imposes. To classify parenting as a personal choice for which there is no collective responsibility is not merely to ignore the social benefits of good parenting; really, it is to steal those benefits because they accrue(不断积累) to the whole of society as today’s children become tomorrow’s productive citizenry(公民). In fact, by some estimates, the value of parental investments in children, investments of time and money (including lost wages), is equal to 20-30% of gross domestic product. If these investments generate huge social benefits—as they clearly do—the benefits of providing more social support for the family should be that much clearer.

1. What do we learn about paid family leave from the first paragraph?

A) It came as a surprise when Australia adopted the policy.

B) America is now the only developed country without the policy.

C) Its meaning was clarified when it was established in Australia.

D) It has now become a hot topic in the United States.

2. What has prevented the passing of work-family balance laws in the United States?

A) The lack of a precedent in American history.

B) The existing Family and Medical Leave Act.

C) The opposition from business circles.

D) The incompetence of the Democrats.

3. What is Professor Anne Alstott’s argument for parental support?

A) Good parenting benefits society.

B) The cost of raising children in the US has been growing.

C) The US should keep up with other developed countries.

D) Children need continuous care.

4. What does the author think of America’s large body of family laws governing children’s welfare?

A) They fail to ensure children’s healthy growth.

B) They fail to provide enough support for parents.

C) They impose the care of children on parents.

D) They emphasize parents’ legal responsibilities.

5. Why does the author object to classifying parenting as a personal choice?

A) It is basically a social undertaking. B) It relies largely on social support.

C) It is regarded as a legal obligation. D) It generates huge social benefits.

答案与解析：

1.【答案】B)。

【定位】由题干中的paid family leave和the first paragraph 定位到原文第一段。

【精析】文中首句提到，在发达国家中只有两个国家不提供带薪的照顾新生婴儿假期保障。末句提到，美国现在是所有富裕国家中唯一没有此项政策的国家。综合两句可知，B)含义与之相符。

2.【答案】C)。

【定位】由题干中的work-family balance laws定位到原文第二段末句。

【精析】该句提到，通常民主党领导者努力将工作和家庭平衡措施囊括到法律中去，这其中的每一步都曾遭遇商业团体的强烈反对，其中opposed与题干中prevented对应，由此可知C)为正确答案。

3.【答案】A)。

【定位】由题干中的Professor Anne Alstott’s argument可定位到第三段首句。

【精析】 Anne Alstott教授在其书中表达的主要观点就是“justifying parental support depends on defining the family as a social good that, in some sense, society must pay for”，也就是说，应该将家庭视作一个能够为社会带来好处的事物，同时该段中后面也阐述了社会期望也需要家长们对他们的孩子付出关爱。因此，教授的主要观点可以概括为A)“良好的教养能造福于社会”。

4.【答案】B)。

【定位】由题干中的America’s large body of family laws governing children’s welfare定位到原文第四段第三句。

【精析】该句在提及美国庞大的监管儿童福利的家庭法律时指出，父母在接受社会强加的足以改变命运的责任时却得不到任何帮助，B)含义与之相符，故为本题答案。

5.【答案】A)。

【定位】由题干中的classifying parenting as a personal choice定位至原文第四段第四句。

【精析】由原文可知，将养育孩子作为一种个人选择，而不存在集体责任的话，便是忽视良好教养所产生的社会效益;事实上，是在盗窃这些社会利益。这里的collective responsibility“集体责任”，就是指社会责任。换言之，良好的教养需要社会承担责任，因为它能带来巨大的社会效益。因此作者反对将养育孩子仅仅作为个人选择来看待，是因为A)“抚养教育孩子基本上是一项社会事业”。

Part III Reading Comprehension (25 points)

Section A

Directions: In this section, there are four passages followed by questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.

Passage One

Sometimes a race is not enough. Sometimes a runner just wants to go further. That’s what happened to Dennis Martin and Brooke Curran.

Martin, 68, a retired detective form New York City, took up running after his first wife died. Curran, 46, a philanthropist(慈善家)from Alexandria, started running to get out of the house and collect her thoughts. Both she and Martin got good at running but felt the desire to do more. “The more I trained, the better I got,” Curran said,” but I would cross the finish line with no sense of accomplishment.”

Eventually , they worked up to running marathons(马拉松)(and longer races) in other countries, on other countries. Now both have achieved a notable -and increasingly less rate- milestone; running the 26.2-mile race on all seven continents.

They are part of a phenomenon that has grown out of the running culture in the past two decades, at the intersection of athleticism and leisure: “runcations,” which combine distance running with travel to exotic places. There trips, as expensive as they are physically challenging ,are a growing and competitive market in the travel industry.

“In the beginning, running was enough,” said Steen Albrechtsen, a press manager. The classic marathon was the ultimate goal, then came the super marathons, like London and New York. But when 90,000 people a year can take that challenge, it is no longer exciting and adventurous .Hence, the search for new adventures began.”

“No one could ever have imagined that running would become the lifestyle activity that it is today,”said Thom Gilligan, founder and president of Boston-based Marathon Tours and Travel. Gilligan, who has been in business since 1979, is partly responsible for the seven-continent phenomenon.

It started with a casual talk to an interviewer about his company offering trips to every continent except Antarctica. And then in 1995, Marathon fours hosted its first Antarctica Marathon on King George Island. Off the tip of the Antarctic Peninsula; 160 runners got to the starting line of a dirt-and ice-trail route via a Russian icebreaker through the Drake Passage.

21. At the beginning, Martin took up running just to .

A. meet requirements of his job

B. win a running race

C. join in a philanthropic activity

D. get away from his sadness

22. Martin and Curran are mentioned as good examples of .

A. winners in the 26.2-mile race on all seven continents

B. people who enjoy long running as a lifestyle activity

C. running racers satisfied with their own performance

D. old people who live an active life after retirement

23. A new trend in the travel industry is the development of .

A. challenging runcations

B. professional races

C. Antarctica travel market

D. expensive tours

24. The classic marathon no longer satisfies some people because .

A. it does not provide enough challenge

B. it may be tough and dangerous

C. it involves too fierce a competition

D. it has attracted too many people

25. The first Antarctica Marathon on King George Island indicates that

A. international cooperation is a must to such an event

B. runcations are expensive and physically challenging

C. Marathon Tours is a leader of the travel industry

D. adventurous running has become increasingly popular

Passage Two

Before the 1970s, college students were treated as children. So many colleges ran in loco parentis system. “In loco parentis”is a Latin term meaning “in the place of a parent.” It describes when someone else accepts responsibility to act in the interests of a child.

This idea developed long ago in British common law to define the responsibility of teachers toward their students. For years, American courts upheld in loco parentis in cases such as Gott versus Berea College in 1913.Gott owned a restaurant off campus. Berea threatened to expel students who ate at places not owned by the school. The Kentucky high court decided that in loco parentis justified that rule.

In loco parentis meant that male and female college students usually had to live in separate buildings. Women had to be back at their dorms by ten or eleven on school nights.But in the 1960s, students began to protest rules and restrictions like hese. At the same time, courts began to support students who were being punished for political and social dissent.

In 1960, Alabama State College expelled six students who took part in a civil rights demonstration. They sued the school and won. After that it became harder and harder to defend in loco parentis.

At that time, students were not considered adults until 21. Then, in 1971, the 24th amendment to the Constitution set the voting ageat eighteen. So in loco parentis no longer really applied.Slowly, colleges began to treat students not as children, but as adults. Students came to be seen as consumers of educational services.Gary Dickstein, an assistant vice president at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio, says in loco parentis is not really gone. It just looks different.

Today’s parents, he says, are often heavily involved in students’lives. They are known as “helicopter parents.”They always seem to hover over their children. Gary Dickstein says these parents are likely to question decisions, especially about safety issues and grades. They want to make sure their financial investment is not being wasted.

26. Before the 1970s, many colleges ran in loco parentis system because

A. they could take the place of the students’parents

B. parents asked them to do it for the interests of their children

C. this was a tradition established by British colleges

D. college students were regarded as too young to be treated as adults

27. Who won the case of Gott versus Berea College in 1913?

A. Berea College. B. Gott.

C. It was a win-win case. D. The students.

28. The word “dissent”(Para.5) probably means “ ”.

A. extreme behaviors B. violation of laws

C. strong disagreement D. Wrong doings

29. In 1960，the court ruled that Alabama State College

A. had no right to expel the students

B. was justified to have expelled the students

C. shouldn’t interfere with students’ daily life

D. should support civil rights demonstrations

30. According to Gary Dickstein, today’s “helicopter parents_____

A. don’t set their hearts at rest with college administrators

B. keep a watchful eye on their children’s life and study

C. care less about their children’s education than before

D. have different opinions on their children’s education

Passage Three

We tend to think of plants as the furniture of the natural word. They don’t move they don’t make sounds, they don’t seem to respond to anything –at least not very quickly. But as is often the case, our human view of the world misses quite a lot. Plants talk to each other all the time. And the language is chemical.

Over the years scientists have reported that different types of plants, from trees to tomatoes, release compounds into the air to help neighboring plants. These chemical warnings all have the same purpose—to spread information about one plant’s disease so other plants can defend themselves. But exactly how plants receive and act on many of these signals is still mysterious.In this week’s Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers in Japan offer some explanations. They have identified one chemical message and traced it all the way from release to action.

The scientists looked at tomato plants infested(侵害) by common pest, the cutworm caterpillar(毛虫). To start out, they grew plants in two plastic ompartments connected by a tube. One plant was infested and placed upwind and he others were uninfested and placed downwind. The downwind plants were later exposed to the cutworm caterpillar. The results showed that plants that had previously been near sick neighbors were able to defend themselves better against the caterpillar.

The researchers also studied leaves from exposed and unexposed plants. They found one compound showed up more often in the exposed plants. The substance is called Hex /ic. When the scientists fed Hex /ic to cutworms, it knocked down heir survival rate by 17%. The scientists identified the source of Hex /ic, and sprayed it lightly over healthy plants. Those plants were then able to start producing the caterpillar-killing Hex /ic. Researchers confirmed that uninfested plants have to build their own weapon to fight off bugs and diseases. How do they know when to play defense? They are warned first by their friendly plant neighbors.

It is a complex tale, and it may be happening in more plant species than tomatoes. It may also be happening with more chemical signals that are still unknown to us. For now though, we know that plants not only communicate, they look out for one another.

31. What does the author try to emphasize Paragraph 1?

A. How plants communicate is still a mystery.

B. Enough attention has been paid to plant talk.

C. Plants are the furniture of the natural world.

D. Plants can communicate with each other.

32. According to Paragraph2, what remains unknown is ______

A. how plats receive and handle the signals from their neighbors

B. why plants spread chemical information to their neighbor

C. how many types of plants release compounds into the air

D. whether plants send chemical warnings to their neighbors

33. The tomato plants in the experiment were ______

A. placed separately but connected through air

B. expose to different kinds of pests

C. exposed to the pest at the same time

D. placed together in a closed compartment

34. The experiment shows that the infested plant helps its neighbors by

______

A. making more Hex /ic to attract the pest

B. releasing Hex /ic into the air to warn them

C. letting them know how to produce Hex /ic

D. producing enough Hex /ic to kill the pest

35.What may be the best title for the passage?

A. Survival of Plants B. Plant World

C. Talking Plants D. Plant Bug Killer

Passage Four

/ancouver is the best place to live in the Americas, according to a quality-of-life ranking published earlier this month .The city regularly tops such indexes as its clean air, spacious homes and weekend possibilities of sailing and skiing. But its status as a liveable city is threatened by worsening congestion(拥挤).Over the next three decades, another I million residents are expected to live in the Greater /ancouver region, adding more cars, bicycles and lorries to roads that arc already struggling to serve the existing 2.3 million residents.

A proposal by /ancouver’s mayorseeks to prevent the worsening conditions.

Upgrades would be madeto 2,300 kilometres of road lanes, as well as bus routes and cycle paths. Four hundred new buses would join the fleet of 1,830. There would be more trains and more “sea bus” ferry crossings between /ancouver and its wealthy northern suburbs. To get all that, residents must vote to accept an increase in sales tax, from 7% to 7.5%. Polls suggest they will vote no.Everyone agrees that a more efficient transport system is needed. Confined by mountains to the north, the United States to the south and the Pacific Ocean to the west, /ancouver has spread in the only direction where there is still land, into the Fraser /alley, which just a few decades ago was mostly farmland.

The road is often overcrowded.Yet commuters’suspicion of local bureaucrats may exceed their dislike of congestion. TransLink, which runs public transport in the region, is unloved by taxpayers. Passengers blame it when Skytrain,the light-rail system, comes to a standstill because of mechanical or electrical faults, as happened twice in one week last summer, leaving commuters stuck in carriages with nothing to do but expressing their anger on Twitter. That sort of thing has made voters less willing to pay the C$7.5 billion in capital spending that the ten-year trafficupgrade would involve.Despite the complaints, /ancouver’s transport system is a decent, well-integrated one on which to build, reckons Todd Litman, a transport consultant who has worked for TransLink. “These upgrades are all-important if /ancouver wants to maintain its reputation for being a destination others want to go to.”He says.

36. The biggest problem threatening /ancouver as a liveable city is .

A. increasing congestion

B. climate change

C. shortage of land

D. lack of money

37. The upgrade proposal by /ancouver’s mayor may be turned down by residents because .

A. they do not want more people to move in

B. they are reluctant to move to new places

C. upgrades would take away their living space

D. upgrades would add to their financial burdens

38. The only direction for /ancouver to further expand is towards .

A. the east

B. the west

C. the south

D. the north

39. TransLink is mentioned (Para.4) as an example of .

A. world famous transport companies

B. local residents’complaints about the bureaucrats

C. local effort to improve public transport

D. worsening traffic congestion

40. According to Todd Litman, the upgrade proposal .

A. will solve the traffic problem

B. will benefit local economy

C. satisfies the transport company

D. deserves public support

Section B

Directions: In this section, you are required to read one quoted blog and the comments on it. The blog and comments are followed by questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers A, B, C and D Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.Towards the end of the 1990s, more than a decade and a half Diet Coke was first introduced, sale of Coca Cola’s best-selling low caloric drink appeared to slow down.However, in the decade that followed, diet sodas grew by more than 30 percent. In 2009, sales pushed above $8.5 billion for the first time. But America’s thirst for Diet Coke is running dry again-and this time it could be for good.

The diet soda slowdown isn’t merely an American thing- it’s also happening worldwide. But the future of diet colas is particularly cloudy in the United

States.

Low calorie sodas are fighting a hard battle against not one but two trends among American consumers. The first is that overall soda consumption has been on the decline since before 2000. Diet sodas, though they might come sugar- and calorie-free, are still sodas, something Americans are proving less and less interested in drinking.

The second, and perhaps more significant trend, is a growing mistrust of artificial sweeteners(甜味剂). “Consumers’attitudes towards sweeteners have really changed.”said Howard Telford, an industry analyst.“There’s a very negative perception about artificial sweeteners. The industry is still trying to get its head around this.”

Comment 1

Add me to the number of people addicted to diet colas who quit drinking soda altogether. I honestly think soda is addictive and I’m happy not to be drinking it anymore.

Comment 2

Perhaps the slowdown has something more to do with the skyrocketing cost of

soft drinks.

Comment 3

I LO/E diet drinks! Am I unhealthy? Who knows? I guarantee I have a better physique than most 43-year-old men.

Comment4

This is a silly and shallow piece。The reason for the fall off is simply the explosion in consumption of bottled waters and energy drinks.

Comment5

As people learn more about health and wellness they will consume less sugar,less soda,less artificial sweeteners.

41.What do we know about diet soda sale?

A.It began to undergo a gradual drop starting from 2000.

B.It was on the decline since the 1990s but is on the rise now.

C.It reached its peak in the 2000s but began to drop since then.

D.It has been decreasing since the 1990s.

42.What does the author think of the prospects of diet soda sale?

A.It will continue to drop.

B.It will get better soon.

C.It is hard to say for sure.

D.It may have ups and downs.

43.Which comment gives a personal reason for quitting diet colas?

A.Comment5. B.Comment4.

C.Comment3. D.Comment1.

44.Which comment supports the author’s point of view?

A. Comment2. B. Comment3.

C. Comment4. D. Comment5.

45.Which comments disagree with the author on the author on the cause of soda sale slowdown?

A. Comment3 and Comment5. B. Comment2 and Comment4.

C. Comment1 and Comment4. D. Comment2 and Comment3.

She 48 call me on the phone, convinced that a tornado was coming her way and that she was going to die.”Do you think disturbing news reports can frighten children? In one survey, nearly 40 percent of parents said that their children had been 49 by something they saw in the news and that, 50 , the children had feared that a similar event would happen to them or their loved ones. Why? One factor is that children often

51 the news differently from adults. For example, small children may believe that a 52 that is broadcast repeatedly is really happening repeatedly.A second factor is that daily reports of disturbing events can distort a child’s 53 of the world. True, we live in “critical times hard to 54 .” But repeated exposure to disturbing news reports can cause children to develop lasting fears. “Children who watch a lot of T/ news 55 to overestimate the occurrence of crime and may perceive the world to be a more dangerous place than it actually is,” observes the Kaiser Family Foundation.

Should work be placed among the cases of happiness or be regarded as a burden? Much work is exceedingly tiresome, and an excess of work causes stress and even disease.

The Favorite Way of Keeping Fit

Nowadays it has to be admitted that the whole society is faced with ´health issue´. According to a recent survey conducted on the Internet, 42 in a hundred people are likely to suffer from vital diseases after retirement. This phenomenon has led to considerable thoughts and considerations about the issue of health among the general public. For my perspective, I believe that proper diet and exercise are the upmost importance to health.

First, diet, this will undoubtedly become the prior one. Mounting fruits and vegetables are supposed to be listed in daily menu for their plenty of fibers and little fat. As a remarkable proverb says,“ An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” Second, those food contain too much fat and sugar, such as candies, butter, pork and chocolate, should be kept under strict limit line. And excessive coffee is harmful too. Third, exercise comes up closely. Regular exercise burns extra energy and builds proper shapes. For instance, people with habit of jogging everyday are much healthier than those without it.

From what has been discussed above, I believe that these aspects should be given due

attention now. On one hand, people should always bear these in mind for their own level; On the other hand, more advanced health information shall be open to the public. Only in this way can we keep good health and enjoy a pleasant life.

There are many ways to keep fit. Some people keep away from smoke or drinking, and others try to ensure enough time to sleep. And my favorite is eating breakfast. It is so easy that some people may doubt its truth.

But it is true. Scientists have proved that breakfast can provide you energy for the most time of the day. It is a key in the three meals of people. If you don´t eat breakfast, your brain will not keep clear in the morning. And we all know that it is an important time for the whole work day.

And above all, it is easier to keep fit in the way of having breakfast than any other ways, for example, exercise, which people always complain that they haven´t enough time to do.

People often say that your health is your life. So please pay attention to your health. If you really have no time, remember to take some food with you for breakfast when you go to work.

Part III Reading Comprehension (45 minutes, 30 points, 1 for each)
Directions: There are 5 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by 6 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the best one and mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across the square brackets on your machine-scoring ANSWER SHEET.

Passage One
People are living longer than ever, but for some reason, women are living longer than men. A baby boy born in the United States in 2003 can expects to live to be about 73, a baby girl, about 79. this is indeed a wide gap, and no one really knows why it exists. The greater longevity （长寿）of women, however, has been known for centuries. It was, for example, described in the seventeenth century. However, the difference was smaller then - the gap is growing.
A number of reasons have been proposed to accounts for the differences. The gap is greatest in industrialized societies, so it has been suggested that women are less susceptible to work strains that may raise the risk of heart disease and alcoholism. Sociologists also tell us that women are encouraged to be less adventurous than men (and this may be why they are more careful drivers, involved in fewer accidents).
Even smoking has been implicated in the age discrepancy. It was once suggested that working women are more likely to smoke and as more women entered the work force, the age gap would begin to close, because smoking is related to earlier deaths. Now, however, we see more women smoking and they still tend to live longer although their lung cancer rate is climbing sharply.
One puzzling aspect of the problem is that women do not appear to be as healthy as men. That is, they report far more illnesses. But when a man reports an illness, it is more likely to be serious.
Some researchers have suggested that men may die early because their health is more strongly related to their emotions. For example, men tend to die sooner after losing a spouse than women do. Men even seem to be more weakened by loss of a job. (Both of these are linked with a marked decrease in the effectiveness of the immune system.) Among men, death follows retirement with an alarming promptness.
Perhaps we are searching for the answers too close to the surface of the problem. Perhaps the answers lie deeper in our biological heritage. After all, the phenomenon is not isolated to humans. Females have the edge among virtually all mammalian (哺乳动物的) species, in that they generally live longer. Furthermore, in many of these species the differences begin at the moment of conception; there are more male miscarriages（流产）. In human, after birth, more baby boys than baby girls die.

31. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?
A Men's lifespan remains almost unchanged.
B Researchers have found the cause of the age gap/
C The age gap was noticed only recently.
D The more advanced a society, the greater the age gap.

Passage Two
Until last spring, Nia Parker and the other kids in her neighborhood commuted to school on Bus 59. But as fuel prices rose, the school district needed to find a way to cut its transportation costs. So the school's busing company redrew its route map, eliminating Nia's bus altogether. Now Nia and her neighbors travel the half mile to school via a "walking school bus"-a group of kids, supervised by an adult or two, who make the walk together.
Like the rest of us, school districts are feeling pinched by rising fuel costs-and finding new way to adapt. The price of diesel fuel has gone up 34 percent in the past two years. For the typical American school district, bus bills total 5 percent of the budget. As administrators look to trim, busing is an inviting target, since it doesn't affect classroom instruction (or test scores). More than one third of American school administrators have eliminated bus stops or routes in order to stay within budget.
Many parents are delighted to see their kids walking to school, partly because many did so themselves: according to a 1969 survey, nearly half of school kids walked or biked to school, compared with only 16 percent in 2001. modern parents have been unwilling to let kids walk to school for fear of traffic, crime or simple bullying, but with organized adult supervision, those concerns have diminished.
Schools and busing companies are finding other ways to save. In rural areas where busing is a must, some schools have even chosen four-day school weeks. Busing companies instruct drivers to eliminate extra stops from routes and to turn off the engine while idling. They are also using computer software to determine the most fuel-efficient routes, which aren't always the shortest ones.
There could be downsides, however, to the busing cutbacks. If every formerly bused student begins walking to school, it's an environmental win-but if too many of their parents decide to drive then instead, the overall carbon footprint can grow. Replacing buses with many more parent-driven cars can also increase safety risks: A 2002 report concluded students are 13 times safer on a school bus than in a passenger car, since buses have fewer accidents and withstand them better due to their size. And some students complain about the long morning hikes, particularly when the route contains a really big hill.

37. The "walking school bus" _____.
A aims to keep children fit
B does not consume fuel
C seldom causes traffic jams
D is popular with school kids

38. In America the responsibility for busing kids to school lies with ____.

B more students taking public transportation
C a decrease in the safety of school buses
D an increase in carbon dioxide emissions

42. Which of the following best describes the author's attitude towards busing cutbacks?
A Favorable
B Critical
C Indifferent
D Objective

Passage Three

If you haven't heard or seen anything about Road Rage in the last few month you've probably been avoiding the media. There have been countless stories about the new and scary phenomenon, considered a type of aggressive driving. You have more likely encountered aggressive driving and/or Road Rage recently if you drive at all.
While drunk driving remains a critical problem, the facts about aggressive driving are surely as disturbing. For instance, according to the National Highway Transportation Safety Association, 41,907 people died on the highway last year. Of those fatalities, the agency estimates that about two-thirds were caused at least in part by aggressive driving behavior.
Why is this phenomenon occurring more than ever now, and why is it something that seemed almost nonexistent a few short years ago? Experts have several theories, and all are probably partially correct. One suggestion is sheer to overcrowding. In the last decade, the number of cars on the roads has increased by more than 11 percents, and the number of miles driven has increased by 35 percent. However, the number of new road miles has only increase by 1 percent. That means more cars in the same amount of space; and the problem is magnified in urban areas. Also, people have less time and more things to do. With people working and trying to fit extra chores (琐事) and activities into the day, stress levels have never been higher. Stress creates anxiety, which leads to short tempers. These factors, when combined in certain situations, can spell Road Rage.
You may think you are the last person who would drive aggressively, but you might be surprised. For instance, have you ever yelled out loud at a slower driver, ounded the horn long and hard at another car, or sped up to keep another driver from assign? If you recognize yourself in any of these situations, watch out!
Whether you are getting angry at other drivers, or another driver is visibly upset with you, there are things you can do to avoid any major confrontation. If you are sceptible to Road Rage, the key is to discharge your emotion in a healthy way. If you are the target of another driver's rage, do everything possible to get away from the other driver safety, including avoiding eye contact and getting out of their way.

43. The first sentence in Paragraph 1 implies that _____.
A Road Rage has received much media coverage in the last few months
B people not interested in the media know little about recent happenings
C one may be raged by media reports and wants to avoid them
D the media coined the term "Road Rage" only a few months ago

44. According to the National Highway Transportation Safety Association, last year _____.
A more people were killed by aggressive driving than by drunk driving
B drunk driving remained the No.1 killer on the highway
C two thirds of drivers were killed by aggressive driving
D 41,907 people fell victim to aggressive driving

45. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a cause of aggressive driving?
A Increasing number of cars
B Drivers' stress and anxiety
C Rush hour traffic
D Overcrowded roads

46. The word "spell" in Paragraph 3 means"_____".
A cause
B speak
C describe
D spare

47. Which of the following characterizes aggressive driving?
A Talking while driving
B Driving fast
C Sounding the horn when passing
D Yelling at another driver

48. The last paragraph is intended to _____.
A inform people how aggressive drivers could be
B tell people how to cope with Road Rage
C tell people how to control themselves when angry
D warn people against eye contact with another driver

Passage Four

Many are aware of the tremendous waste of energy in our environment, but fail to take advantage of straightforward opportunities to conserve that energy. For example, everyone knows that lights should be switched off when no one is in an office. Similarly, when employees are not using a meeting room, there is no need to regulate temperature.
Fortunately, one need not rely on human intervention to conserve energy. With the help of smart sensing and network technology, energy conservation processes such as turning off lights and adjusting temperature can be readily automated. Ultimately, this technology will enable consumers and plant managers to better identify wasteful energy use and institute procedures that lead to smarter and more efficient homes, buildings and industrial plants.
Until now, wires and cables for power and connectivity have limited the widespread adoption of sensor (传感器) networks by making them difficult and expensive to install and maintain. Battery-powered wireless networks can simplify installation and reduce cost. But their high power consumption and the corresponding need for regular battery replacement has made wireless networks difficult and costly to maintain. Nobody wants to replace hundreds or thousands of window sensor batteries in a large building on a regular basis.
The promise of wireless sensor networks can only be fully realized when the wiring for both the data communication and the power supply is eliminated. Doing so requires a true battery-free wireless solution, one that can utilize energy harvested directly from the environments. To facilitate the widespread deployment of wireless sensor networks, Greenpeak has developed an ultra-low-power communication technology that can utilize environmental energy sources such as light, motion and vibration. This technology, employing on-board power management circuits and computer software to monitor energy harvesters and make the best use of harvested energy, enables sensors to operate reliably in a battery-free environment.
Wireless sensor networks deployed in out offices and homes will have an enormous impact on our daily lives, helping to build a smarter world in which energy is recycled and fully utilized. These wireless platforms, equipped with advanced sensing capability, will enable us to better control our lives, homes and environment, creating a truly connected world that enables people worldwide to live in a more comfortable, safer, and cleaner environment.

49. By "human intervention" (Paragraph 2), the author refers to _____.
A the reduction of great energy waste in the environment
B the grasping of straightforward opportunities available
C the adoption of smart sensing and network technology
D acts like turning off lights when no one is in the room

50. Batteries are not an ideal energy source for sensor networks because they ____.
A contain metals that pollute the environment
B have to be replaced from time to time
C require automatic recharging
D are difficult and costly to maintain

51. Battery-free wireless sensor networks are made possible by the fact that _____.
A the cost of using them has been drastically reduced

D elimination of batteries in sensor networks

54. Wireless sensor networks promise to ____.
A bring businesses high profits
B further develop the sensing technology
C improve the daily lives of people worldwide
D turn motion into a major source of energy

Passage Five
In the early 20th century, a horse named Clever Hans was believed capable of counting and other impressive mental tasks. After years of great performance, psychologists discovered that though Hans was certainly clever, he was not clever in the way everyone expected. The horse was cleverly picking up on tiny, unintentional bodily and facial signals given out not only by his trainer, but also by the audience. Aware of the "Clever Hans" effect, Lisa Lit at the University of California and her colleagues wondered whether the beliefs of professional dog handlers might similarly affect the outcomes of searchers for drugs and explosives. Remarkably, Dr Lit found, they do.
Dr Lit asked 18 professional dog handlers and their dogs to complete brief searches. Before the searches, the handlers were informed that some of the search area might contain up to three target scents, and also that in two cases those scents would be marked by pieces of red paper. What the handlers were not told was that none of the search areas contained the scents of either drugs or explosives. Any "detections" made by the teams thus had to be false.
The findings reveals that of 144 searches, only 21 were clean (no alerts). All the others raised one alert or more. In total, the teams raised 225 alerts. While the sheer number of false alerts stuck Dr Lit as fascinating, it was where they took place that was of greatest interest.
When handlers could see a red piece of paper, allegedly marking a location of interest, they were much more likely to say that their dogs signaled an alert. The human handlers were not only distracted on almost every occasion by the stimulus aimed at them, but also transmitted that distraction to their animals-who responded accordingly. To mix metaphors, the dogs were crying "wolf" at the unconscious signal of their handlers.
How much that matters in the real world is unclear. But it might. If a handler, for example, unconsciously "profiled" people being sniffed by a drug, or explosive-detecting dog at an airport, false positive could abound. That is not only bad for innocent travelers, but might distract the team from catching the guilty.

55. What did psychologists find out about Clever Hans?
A He was as clever as people claimed.
B He was really good at counting.
C He merely responded to human signals.
D He could understand human language.

56. Lisa Lit and her colleagues ____.
A questioned the "Clever Hans" effect
B discovered the "Clever Hans" effect
C rejected the "Clever Hans" effect
D confirmed the "Clever Hans" effect

57. The dog handlers learned before the searches that ____.
A each search area contained three target scents
B there was actually no target scent in the search area
C their dogs were expected to find the scents of red paper
D some target scents may be labeled with a special mark

58. What was most significant about the experiment, according to Dr Lit?
A The regularity of the false alerts
B The location of the false alerts
C The number of the false alerts
D The timing of the false alerts

59. It can be concluded from the experiment that ____.
A dogs may act in response to their handlers' bodily signals
B dog handlers are more likely to be distracted than their dogs
C the cooperation between dogs and their handlers is key to success
D well-trained dogs can better understand their handlers' signals

60. The author thinks that Dr Lit's findings _____.
A may not be useful in real situations
B should raise our concern in real life
C should be backed up by further evidence
D will be widely applied in the near future

Over the years, we tend to think that unclear technologies and the necessary know-how to ensure nuclear safety have been developed to a level that possibilities for any major nuclear accidents are almost non-existent and if it does happen, it will be controlled in the capable hands of nuclear engineers. However, reality has proved again that you just can't be too careful to handle nuclear energy. We don't know for sure yet what will be left behind Japan's nuclear crisis, but it will be certain that it is time to re-examine our nuclear practices and many more efforts need to be made to ensure nuclear safety in the future.

Schools and busing companies are finding other ways to save. In rural areas where busing is a must, some schools have even chosen four-day school weeks. Busing companies instruct drivers to eliminate extra stops from routes and to turn off the engine while idling. They are also using computer software to determine the most fuel-efficient routes, which aren't always the shortest ones.
There could be downsides, however, to the busing cutbacks. If every formerly bused student begins walking to school, it's an environmental win-but if too many of their parents decide to drive then instead, the overall carbon footprint can grow. Replacing buses with many more parent-driven cars can also increase safety risks: A 2002 report concluded students are 13 times safer on a school bus than in a passenger car, since buses have fewer accidents and withstand them better due to their size. And some students complain about the long morning hikes, particularly when the route contains a really big hill.

Passage Two
People are living longer than ever, but for some reason, women are living longer than men. A baby boy born in the United States in 2003 can expects to live to be about 73, a baby girl, about 79. this is indeed a wide gap, and no one really knows why it exists. The greater longevity （长寿）of women, however, has been known for centuries. It was, for example, described in the seventeenth century. However, the difference was smaller then - the gap is growing.
A number of reasons have been proposed to accounts for the differences. The gap is greatest in industrialized societies, so it has been suggested that women are less susceptible to work strains that may raise the risk of heart disease and alcoholism. Sociologists also tell us that women are encouraged to be less adventurous than men (and this may be why they are more careful drivers, involved in fewer accidents).
Even smoking has been implicated in the age discrepancy. It was once suggested that working women are more likely to smoke and as more women entered the work force, the age gap would begin to close, because smoking is related to earlier deaths. Now, however, we see more women smoking and they still tend to live longer although their lung cancer rate is climbing sharply.
One puzzling aspect of the problem is that women do not appear to be as healthy as men. That is, they report far more illnesses. But when a man reports an illness, it is more likely to be serious.
Some researchers have suggested that men may die early because their health is more strongly related to their emotions. For example, men tend to die sooner after losing a spouse than women do. Men even seem to be more weakened by loss of a job. (Both of these are linked with a marked decrease in the effectiveness of the immune system.) Among men, death follows retirement with an alarming promptness.
Perhaps we are searching for the answers too close to the surface of the problem. Perhaps the answers lie deeper in our biological heritage. After all, the phenomenon is not isolated to humans. Females have the edge among virtually all mammalian (哺乳动物的) species, in that they generally live longer. Furthermore, in many of these species the differences begin at the moment of conception; there are more male miscarriages（流产）. In human, after birth, more baby boys than baby girls die.

37. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?
A Men's lifespan remains almost unchanged.
B Researchers have found the cause of the age gap/
C The more advanced a society, the greater the age gap.
D The age gap was noticed only recently.

38. As is suggested in Paragraph 2, the two factors relevant to women's longer lifespan are ____.
A diseases and road accidents

C People are living longer as a result of industrialization.
D Women are less emotionally affected by difficulties in life.

Passage Three
Many are aware of the tremendous waste of energy in our environment, but fail to take advantage of straightforward opportunities to conserve that energy. For example, everyone knows that lights should be switched off when no one is in an office. Similarly, when employees are not using a meeting room, there is no need to regulate temperature.
Fortunately, one need not rely on human intervention to conserve energy. With the help of smart sensing and network technology, energy conservation processes such as turning off lights and adjusting temperature can be readily automated. Ultimately, this technology will enable consumers and plant managers to better identify wasteful energy use and institute procedures that lead to smarter and more efficient homes, buildings and industrial plants.
Until now, wires and cables for power and connectivity have limited the widespread adoption of sensor (传感器) networks by making them difficult and expensive to install and maintain. Battery-powered wireless networks can simplify installation and reduce cost. But their high power consumption and the corresponding need for regular battery replacement has made wireless networks difficult and costly to maintain. Nobody wants to replace hundreds or thousands of window sensor batteries in a large building on a regular basis.
The promise of wireless sensor networks can only be fully realized when the wiring for both the data communication and the power supply is eliminated. Doing so requires a true battery-free wireless solution, one that can utilize energy harvested directly from the environments. To facilitate the widespread deployment of wireless sensor networks, Greenpeak has developed an ultra-low-power communication technology that can utilize environmental energy sources such as light, motion and vibration. This technology, employing on-board power management circuits and computer software to monitor energy harvesters and make the best use of harvested energy, enables sensors to operate reliably in a battery-free environment.
Wireless sensor networks deployed in out offices and homes will have an enormous impact on our daily lives, helping to build a smarter world in which energy is recycled and fully utilized. These wireless platforms, equipped with advanced sensing capability, will enable us to better control our lives, homes and environment, creating a truly connected world that enables people worldwide to live in a more comfortable, safer, and cleaner environment.

43. By "human intervention" (Paragraph 2), the author refers to _____.
A the reduction of great energy waste in the environment
B the grasping of straightforward opportunities available
C acts like turning off lights when no one is in the room
D the adoption of smart sensing and network technology

44. Batteries are not an ideal energy source for sensor networks because they ____.
A have to be replaced from time to time

D improve the daily lives of people worldwide

Passage Four
If you haven't heard or seen anything about Road Rage in the last few month you've probably been avoiding the media. There have been countless stories about the new and scary phenomenon, considered a type of aggressive driving. You have more likely encountered aggressive driving and/or Road Rage recently if you drive at all.
While drunk driving remains a critical problem, the facts about aggressive driving are surely as disturbing. For instance, according to the National Highway Transportation Safety Association, 41,907 people died on the highway last year. Of those fatalities, the agency estimates that about two-thirds were caused at least in part by aggressive driving behavior.
Why is this phenomenon occurring more than ever now, and why is it something that seemed almost nonexistent a few short years ago? Experts have several theories, and all are probably partially correct. One suggestion is sheer to overcrowding. In the last decade, the number of cars on the roads has increased by more than 11 percents, and the number of miles driven has increased by 35 percent. However, the number of new road miles has only increase by 1 percent. That means more cars in the same amount of space; and the problem is magnified in urban areas. Also, people have less time and more things to do. With people working and trying to fit extra chores (琐事) and activities into the day, stress levels have never been higher. Stress creates anxiety, which leads to short tempers. These factors, when combined in certain situations, can spell Road Rage.
You may think you are the last person who would drive aggressively, but you might be surprised. For instance, have you ever yelled out loud at a slower driver, ounded the horn long and hard at another car, or sped up to keep another driver from assign? If you recognize yourself in any of these situations, watch out!
Whether you are getting angry at other drivers, or another driver is visibly upset with you, there are things you can do to avoid any major confrontation. If you are sceptible to Road Rage, the key is to discharge your emotion in a healthy way. If you are the target of another driver's rage, do everything possible to get away from the other driver safety, including avoiding eye contact and getting out of their way.

49. The first sentence in Paragraph 1 implies that _____.
A people not interested in the media know little about recent happenings
B Road Rage has received much media coverage in the last few months
C one may be raged by media reports and wants to avoid them
D the media coined the term "Road Rage" only a few months ago

50. According to the National Highway Transportation Safety Association, last year _____.
A drunk driving remained the No.1 killer on the highway
B more people were killed by aggressive driving than by drunk driving
C two thirds of drivers were killed by aggressive driving
D 41,907 people fell victim to aggressive driving

51. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a cause of aggressive driving?
A Increasing number of cars
B Drivers' stress and anxiety
C Overcrowded roads
D Rush hour traffic

52. The word "spell" in Paragraph 3 means"_____".
A speak
B cause
C describe
D spare

53. Which of the following characterizes aggressive driving?
A Talking while driving
B Driving fast
C Yelling at another driver
D Sounding the horn when passing

54. The last paragraph is intended to _____.
A tell people how to cope with Road Rage
B inform people how aggressive drivers could be
C tell people how to control themselves when angry
D warn people against eye contact with another driver

Passage Five
In the early 20th century, a horse named Clever Hans was believed capable of counting and other impressive mental tasks. After years of great performance, psychologists discovered that though Hans was certainly clever, he was not clever in the way everyone expected. The horse was cleverly picking up on tiny, unintentional bodily and facial signals given out not only by his trainer, but also by the audience. Aware of the "Clever Hans" effect, Lisa Lit at the University of California and her colleagues wondered whether the beliefs of professional dog handlers might similarly affect the outcomes of searchers for drugs and explosives. Remarkably, Dr Lit found, they do.
Dr Lit asked 18 professional dog handlers and their dogs to complete brief searches. Before the searches, the handlers were informed that some of the search area might contain up to three target scents, and also that in two cases those scents would be marked by pieces of red paper. What the handlers were not told was that none of the search areas contained the scents of either drugs or explosives. Any "detections" made by the teams thus had to be false.
The findings reveals that of 144 searches, only 21 were clean (no alerts). All the others raised one alert or more. In total, the teams raised 225 alerts. While the sheer number of false alerts stuck Dr Lit as fascinating, it was where they took place that was of greatest interest.
When handlers could see a red piece of paper, allegedly marking a location of interest, they were much more likely to say that their dogs signaled an alert. The human handlers were not only distracted on almost every occasion by the stimulus aimed at them, but also transmitted that distraction to their animals-who responded accordingly. To mix metaphors, the dogs were crying "wolf" at the unconscious signal of their handlers.
How much that matters in the real world is unclear. But it might. If a handler, for example, unconsciously "profiled" people being sniffed by a drug, or explosive-detecting dog at an airport, false positive could abound. That is not only bad for innocent travelers, but might distract the team from catching the guilty.

55. What did psychologists find out about Clever Hans?
A He was as clever as people claimed.
B He was really good at counting.
C He could understand human language.
D He merely responded to human signals.

56. Lisa Lit and her colleagues ____.
A questioned the "Clever Hans" effect
B discovered the "Clever Hans" effect
C confirmed the "Clever Hans" effect
D rejected the "Clever Hans" effect

57. The dog handlers learned before the searches that ____.
A each search area contained three target scents
B there was actually no target scent in the search area
C some target scents may be labeled with a special mark
D their dogs were expected to find the scents of red paper

58. What was most significant about the experiment, according to Dr Lit?
A The location of the false alerts
B The regularity of the false alerts
C The number of the false alerts
D The timing of the false alerts

59. It can be concluded from the experiment that ____.
A dog handlers are more likely to be distracted than their dogs
B dogs may act in response to their handlers' bodily signals
C the cooperation between dogs and their handlers is key to success
D well-trained dogs can better understand their handlers' signals

60. The author thinks that Dr Lit's findings _____.
A should raise our concern in real life
B may not be useful in real situations
C should be backed up by further evidence
D will be widely applied in the near future

Part I Translation (30 minutes, 20 points, 10 for each section)
Section A
Over the years, we tend to think that unclear technologies and the necessary know-how to ensure nuclear safety have been developed to a level that possibilities for any major nuclear accidents are almost non-existent and if it does happen, it will be controlled in the capable hands of nuclear engineers. However, reality has proved again that you just can't be too careful to handle nuclear energy. We don't know for sure yet what will be left behind Japan's nuclear crisis, but it will be certain that it is time to re-examine our nuclear practices and many more efforts need to be made to ensure nuclear safety in the future.

Section B
