　　Given the advantages of electronic money, you might think that we would move quickly to the cashless society in which all payments are made electronically. 1 a true cashless society is probably not around the corner. Indeed, predictions have been 2 for two decades but have not yet　come to fruition. For example, Business Week predicted in 1975 that electronic means of payment would soon "revolutionize the very 3 of money itself," only to 4 itself several years later. Why has the movement to a cashless society been so 5 in coming?

　　Although electronic means of payment may be more efficient than a payments system based on paper, several factors work 6 the disappearance of the paper system. First, it is very 7 to set up the computer, card reader, and telecornmunications networks necessary to make electronic money the 8 form of payment Second, paper checks have the advantage that they 9 receipts, something that many consumers are unwilling to 10 . Third, the use of paper checks gives consumers several days of "float" - it takes several days 11 a check is cashed and funds are 12 from the issuer's account, which means that the writer of the check can cam interest on the funds in the meantime. 13 electronic payments arc immediate, they eliminate the float for the consumer.

　　Fourth, electronic means of payment may 14 security and privacy concerns. We often hear media reports that an unauthorized hacker has been able to access a computer database and to alterinformation 15 there. The fact that this is not an 16 occurrence means that dishonest persons might be able to access bank accounts in electronic payments systems and 17 from someone else's accounts. The 18 of this type of fraud is no easy task, and a new field of computer science is developing to 19 security issues. A further concern is that the use of electronic means of payment leaves an electronic 20 that contains a large amount of personal data. There are concerns government, employers, and marketers might be able to access these data, thereby violating our privacy.

　　Directions:

　　Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D.

　　Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. (40 points)

　　Text 1

　　In an essay entitled “Making It in America”, the author Adam Davidson relates a joke from cotton about just how much a modern textile mill has been automated: The average mill only two employees today,” a man and a dog. The man is there to feed the dog is there to keep the man away from the machines.” Davidson’s article is one of a number of pieces that have recently appeared making the point that the reason we have such stubbornly high unemployment and declining middle-class incomes today is also because of the advances in both globalization and the information technology revolution, which are more rapidly than ever replacing labor with machines or foreign worker.

　　In the past, workers with average skills, doing an average job，could earn an average lifestyle ,But ,today ,average is officially over. Being average just won’t earn you what it used to.

　　It can’t when so many more employers have so much more access to so much more above average cheap foreign labor, cheap robotics, cheap software, cheap automation and cheap genius.

　　Therefore, everyone needs to find their extra-their unique value contribution that makes them stand out in whatever is their field of employment.

　　Yes, new technology has been eating jobs forever, and always will. But there’s been an acceleration. As Davidson notes,” In the 10 years ending in 2009, [U.S.] factories shed workers so fast that they erased almost all the gains of the previous 70 years; roughly one out of every three 　　manufacturing jobs-about 6 million in total -disappeared.

　　There will always be changed-new jobs, new products, new services. But the one thing we know for sure is that with each advance in globalization and the I.T. revolution, the best jobs will require workers to have more and better education to make themselves above average.

　　In a world where average is officially over, there are many things we need to do to support employment, but nothing would be more important than passing some kind of G.I.Bill for the 21st century that ensures that every American has access to poet-high school education.

　　21. The joke in Paragraph 1 is used to illustrate_______.

　　[A] the impact of technological advances

　　[B] the alleviation of job pressure

　　[C] the shrinkage of textile mills

　　[D] the decline of middle-class incomes

　　22. According to Paragraph 3, to be a successful employee, one has to______

　　[A] work on cheap software

　　[B] ask for a moderate salary

　　[C] adopt an average lifestyle

　　[D] contribute something unique

　　23. The quotation in Paragraph 4 explains that ______

　　[A] gains of technology have been erased

　　[B] job opportunities are disappearing at a high speed

　　[C] factories are making much less money than before

　　[D] new jobs and services have been offered

　　24. According to the author, to reduce unemployment, the most important is_____

　　[A] to accelerate the I.T. revolution

　　[B] to ensure more education for people

　　[C] to advance economic globalization

　　[D] to pass more bills in the 21st century

　　25. Which of the following would be the most appropriate title for the text?

　　[A] New Law Takes Effect

　　[B] Technology Goes Cheap

　　[C] Average Is Over

　　[D] Recession Is Bad

　　Text 2

　　A century ago, the immigrants from across the Atlantic included settlers and sojourners.

　　Along with the many folks looking to make a permanent home in the United States came those

　　who had no intention to stay, and 7millin people arrived while about 2 million departed. About a quarter of all Italian immigrants, for example, eventually returned to Italy for good. They even had an affectionate nickname, “uccelli di passaggio,” birds of passage.

　　Today, we are much more rigid about immigrants. We divide newcomers into two categories:

　　legal or illegal, good or bad. We hail them as Americans in the making, or our broken immigration system and the long political paralysis over how to fix it. We don’t need more categories, but we need to change the way we think about categories. We need to look beyond strict definitions of legal and illegal. To start, we can recognize the new birds of passage, those living and thriving in the gray areas. We might then begin to solve our immigration challenges.

　　Crop pickers, violinists, construction workers, entrepreneurs, engineers, home health-care aides and physicists are among today’s birds of passage. They are energetic participants in a global economy driven by the flow of work, money and ideas .They prefer to come and go as 　　opportunity calls them , They can manage to have a job in one place and a family in another.

　　With or without permission, they straddle laws, jurisdictions and identities with ease. We need them to imagine the United States as a place where they can be productive for a while without committing themselves to staying forever. We need them to feel that home can be both here and there and that they can belong to two nations honorably.

　　Accommodating this new world of people in motion will require new attitudes on both sides of the immigration battle .Looking beyond the culture war logic of right or wrong means opening up the middle ground and understanding that managing immigration today requires multiple paths and multiple outcomes. Including some that are not easy to accomplish legally in the existing system.

　　26 “Birds of passage” refers to those who____.

　　[A] immigrate across the Atlantic

　　[B] leave their home countries for good

　　[C] stay in a foreign temporarily

　　[D]find permanent jobs overseas

　　27 It is implied in paragraph 2 that the current immigration system in the US ____. [A] needs new immigrant categories

　　[B] has loosened control over immigrants

　　[C] should be adopted to meet challenges

　　[D] has been fixed via political means

　　28 According to the author, today’s birds of passage want___

　　[A] financial incentives.

　　[B] a global recognition.

　　[C] opportunities to get regular jobs.

　　[D]the freedom to stay and leave.

　　29 The author suggests that the birds of passage today should be treated __

　　[A] as faithful partners.

　　[B] with economic favors.

　　[C] with regal tolerance.

　　[D]as mighty rivals.

　　30 which is the best title of the passage?

　　[A] come and go: big mistake

　　[B] living and thriving : great risk

　　[C] with or without : great risk

　　[D]legal or illegal: big mistake

　　Text 3

　　Scientists have found that although we are prone to snap overreactions, if we take a moment and think about how we are likely to react, we can reduce or even eliminate the negative effects of our quick, hard-wired responses.

　　Snap decisions can be important defense mechanisms; if we are judging whether someone is dangerous, our brains and bodies are hard-wired to react very quickly, within milliseconds. But we need more time to assess other factors. To accurately tell whether someone is sociable, studies show, we need at least a minute, preferably five. It takes a while to judge complex aspects of personality, like neuroticism or open-mindedness.But snap decisions in reaction to rapid stimuli aren’t exclusive to the interpersonal realm.

　　Psychologists at the University of Toronto found that viewing a fast-food logo for just a few milliseconds primes us to read 20 percent faster, even though reading has little to do with eating.

　　We unconsciously associate fast food with speed and impatience and carry those impulses into whatever else we’re doing, Subjects exposed to fast-food flashes also tend to think a musical piece lasts too long.

　　Yet we can reverse such influences. If we know we will overreact to consumer products or housing options when we see a happy face (one reason good sales representatives and real estate agents are always smiling), we can take a moment before buying. If we know female job screeners are more likely to reject attractive female applicants, we can help screeners understand their biases-or hire outside screeners.

　　John Gottman, the marriage expert, explains that we quickly “thin slice” information reliably only after we ground such snap reactions in “thick sliced” long-term study. When Dr. Gottman really wants to assess whether a couple will stay together, he invites them to his island retreat for a muck longer evaluation; two days, not two seconds.

　　Our ability to mute our hard-wired reactions by pausing is what differentiates us from animals: doge can think about the future only intermittently or for a few minutes. But historically we have spent about 12 percent of our days contemplating the longer term. Although technology might change the way we react, it hasn’t changed our nature. We still have the imaginative capacity to rise above temptation and reverse the high-speed trend.

　　31. The time needed in making decisions may____.

　　[A] vary according to the urgency of the situation

　　[B] prove the complexity of our brain reaction

　　[C] depend on the importance of the assessment

　　[D] predetermine the accuracy of our judgment

　　32. Our reaction to a fast-food logo shows that snap decisions____.

　　[A] can be associative

　　[B] are not unconscious

　　[C] can be dangerous

　　[D] are not impulsive

　　33. To reverse the negative influences of snap decisions, we should____.

　　[A] trust our first impression

　　[B] do as people usually do

　　[C] think before we act

　　[D] ask for expert advice

　　34. John Gottman says that reliable snap reaction are based on____.

　　[A] critical assessment

　　[B]‘thin sliced’study

　　[C] sensible explanation

　　[D] adequate information

　　35. The author’s attitude toward reversing the high-speed trend is____.

　　[A] tolerant

　　[B] uncertain

　　[C] optimistic

　　[D] doubtful

　　Text 4

　　Europe is not a gender-equality heaven. In particular, the corporate workplace will never be completely family—friendly until women are part of senior management decisions, and Europe’s top corporate-governance positions remain overwhelmingly male. Indeed, women hold only 14 percent of positions on Europe corporate boards.

　　The Europe Union is now considering legislation to compel corporate boards to maintain a certain proportion of women-up to 60 percent. This proposed mandate was born of frustration.

　　Last year, Europe Commission Vice President Viviane Reding issued a call to voluntary action.

　　Reding invited corporations to sign up for gender balance goal of 40 percent female board membership. But her appeal was considered a failure: only 24 companies took it up.

　　Do we need quotas to ensure that women can continue to climb the corporate Ladder fairy as they balance work and family?

　　“Personally, I don’t like quotas,” Reding said recently. “But i like what the quotas do.” Quotas get action: they “open the way to equality and they break through the glass ceiling,”

　　according to Reding, a result seen in France and other countries with legally binding provisions on placing women in top business positions.

　　I understand Reding’s reluctance-and her frustration. I don’t like quotas either; they run counter to my belief in meritocracy, government by the capable. Bur, when one considers the obstacles to achieving the meritocratic ideal, it does look as if a fairer world must be temporarily ordered.

　　After all, four decades of evidence has now shown that corporations in Europe as the US are evading the meritocratic hiring and promotion of women to top position— no matter how much “soft pressure ” is put upon them. When women do break through to the summit of corporate power--as, for example, Sheryl Sandberg recently did at Facebook—they attract massive attention precisely because they remain the exception to the rule.

　　If appropriate pubic policies were in place to help all women—whether CEOs or their children’s caregivers—and all families, Sandberg would be no more newsworthy than any other highly capable person living in a more just society.

　　36. In the European corporate workplace, generally_____.

　　[A] women take the lead

　　[B] men have the final say

　　[C] corporate governance is overwhelmed

　　[D] senior management is family-friendly

　　37. The European Union’s intended legislation is ________. [A] a reflection of gender balance

　　[B] a reluctant choice

　　[C] a response to Reding’s call

　　[D] a voluntary action

　　38. According to Reding, quotas may help women ______. [A] get top business positions

　　[B] see through the glass ceiling

　　[C] balance work and family

　　[D] anticipate legal results

　　39. The author’s attitude toward Reding’s appeal is one of _________. [A] skepticism

　　[B] objectiveness

　　[C] indifference

　　[D] approval

　　40. Women entering top management become headlines due to the lack of ______. [A] more social justice

　　[B] massive media attention

　　[C] suitable public policies

　　[D] greater“soft pressure” Part B

　　The hugely popular blog the Skint Foodie chronicles how Tony balances his love of good food with living on benefits. After bills, Tony has £60 a week to spend, £40 of which goes on food, but 10 years ago he was earning £130,000 a I year working in corporate communications and eating at London's betft restaurants'" at least twice a week. Then his marriage failed, his career burned out and his drinking became serious. "The community mental health team saved my life.

　　And I felt like that again, to a certain degree, when people responded to the blog so well. It gave me the validation and confidence that I'd lost. But it's still a day-by-day thing." Now he's living in a council flat and fielding offers from literary agents. He's feeling positive, but he'll carry on blogging - not about eating as cheaply as you can - "there are so many people in a much worse state, with barely any money to spend on food" - but eating well on a budget. Here's his advice for economical foodies.

　　[A] Live like a peasant

　　[B] Balance your diet

　　[C] Shopkeepers are your friends

　　[D] Remember to treat yourself

　　[E] Stick to what you need

　　[F] Planning is everything

　　[G] Waste not, want not

　　41._____________________

　　Impulsive spending isn't an option, so plan your week's menu in advance, making shopping lists for your ingredients in their exact quantities. I have an Excel template for a week of breakfast, lunch and dinner. Stop laughing: it's not just cost effective but helps you balance your diet. It's also a good idea to shop daily instead of weekly, because, being-human, you'll sometimes change your mind about what you fancy.

　　42____________________________________________________________

　　This is where supermarkets and their anonymity come in handy. With them, there's not the same embarrassment as when buying one carrot in a little greengrocer. And if you plan properly,you'll know that you only need, say, 350g of shin of beef and six rashers of bacon, not whatever 　weight is pre-packed in the supermarket chiller.

　　43_________

　　You may proudly claim to only have frozen peas in the freezer - that's not good enough.

　　Mine is filled with leftovers, bread, stock, meat and fish. Planning ahead should eliminate wastage,but if you have surplus vegetables you'll do a vegetable soup, and all fruits threatening to "go off'will be cooked or juiced.

　　44___________________________________

　　Everyone says this, but it really is a top tip for frugal eaters. Shop at butchers, delis and fish-sellers regularly, even for small things, and be super friendly. Soon you'll feel comfortable asking if they've any knuckles of ham for soups and stews, or beef bones, chicken carcasses and fish heads for stock which, more often than not, They will let you have for free.

　　45__________________

　　You won't be eating out a lot, but save your pennies and once every few months treat yourself to a set lunch at a good restaurant - £1.75 a week for three months gives you £21 - more than" enough for a three-course lunch at Michelin-starred Arbutus. It's £16.95 there - or £12.99 for a large pizza from Domino's: I know which I'd rather eat.

　　I can pick a date from the past 53 years and know instantly where I was, what happened in the news and even the day of the week. I’ve been able to do this since I was four.

　　I never feel overwhelmed with the amount of information my brain absorbs my mind seems to be able to cope and the information is stored away reatly. When I think of a sad memory, I do what everyone does- try to put it to one side. I don’t think it’s harder for me just because my memory is clearer. Powerful memory doesn’t make my emotions any more acute or vivid. I can recall the day my grandfather died and the sadness I felt when we went to the hospital the day before. I also remember that the musical play Hair opened on the Broadway on the same day- they both just pop into my mind in the same way.

　　1.【答案】A(However)

　　【解析】空前作者講到“鑒于電子貨幣的優(yōu)勢,你也許會認為,我們將快速步入非現(xiàn)金社會,實現(xiàn)完全電子支付?！倍蘸笳f“真正的無現(xiàn)金社會很可能不會馬上到來”這兩句話語義是轉(zhuǎn)折的，因此答案 A。 B. moreover 表遞進 C. therefore 表結(jié)果 D. Otherwise 表對比

　　2.【答案】D (around)

　　【解析】由空格所在句的“but” 得知，句子前后是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。事實上,這樣的預(yù)測已經(jīng) 二十年了,但迄今還沒有實現(xiàn)。A. off 停止 B. back 返回 C. over 結(jié)束，與后文均不構(gòu)成轉(zhuǎn)折，故答案選 D. around 出現(xiàn)。

　　3.【答案】B (concept)

　　【解析】空格所在的句子意思為例如, 1975 年《商業(yè)周刊》預(yù)測電子支付手段不久將“徹底改變貨幣本身的____”將四個選項帶入，能夠徹底改變的對象只能是金錢的概念(定義)，而 A“力量”,C“歷史”,D“角色”，語義都不恰當(dāng)，并且如果選擇 role 的話，應(yīng)該是復(fù)數(shù) roles, 因為是金錢的作用不止一個，故答案選 B。

　　4.【答案】D (reverse)

　　【解析】空格填入的動詞跟前面的動詞 revolutionize (變革)意思上應(yīng)該是同義替換的，要選擇含有變革，徹底改變意思的詞匯，四個選項中 A. reward 獎勵 B. 抵抗 C. resume 重新開始，繼續(xù)，都不合適，只有 D 選項 reverse“顛覆”最為貼切，本句譯為“電子支付方式不久將改變貨幣的定義,并將在數(shù)年后顛覆貨幣本身?！?5.【答案】C (slow)

　　【解析】根據(jù)前面的句意得知，早在 1975 年就預(yù)測了無現(xiàn)金社會將到來，而實際上作者講到“真正的無現(xiàn)金社會很可能不會馬上到來”，因此也得出這種變革是一個緩慢的過程，故答案選擇 C。 A. silent 沉寂的，B. sudden 突然的，D. steady 穩(wěn)定不變的。

　　6.【答案】B (against)

　　【解析】上一段末句提出本段的論點，即人們進入無現(xiàn)金時代的速度緩慢的原因。因此本段應(yīng)圍繞紙幣系統(tǒng)不會消失來闡述。而且由句首的 Although 得知，空格所在句與前一句是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。盡管電子支付手段可能比紙幣支付方式更加高效，然而以下幾個方面解釋了紙幣系統(tǒng)“不會”消失的原因，故答案選 B，work against 妨礙，對…產(chǎn)生消極影響。A. work for 為…而工作 C. work with 與…共事，對…起作用 D. work on 從事…工作，對…起作用，都不合適。

　　7.【答案】B (expensive)

　　【解析】本句陳述的原因都是關(guān)于上句提到的傳統(tǒng)支付方式的優(yōu)點，即推廣電子支付方式不利之處。所以根據(jù)這個基調(diào)，得出選項 productive 不對，最后根據(jù)空后的內(nèi)容推理出消極意思的選項 expensive，其他選項意思放到空格處不合理，imaginative，意思是“虛構(gòu)的、富于想象力的”;sensitive，意思是“敏感的、容易受傷的”。故本題正確答案為 B。

　　8.【答案】D(dominant)

　　【解析】空格所在句譯為...使得電子貨幣成為____支付方式，將四個選項帶入，C, D 是比較恰當(dāng)?shù)模俳Y(jié)合本文章的主旨，應(yīng)該選擇“占主導(dǎo)地位的，支配地位”這層意思的 D 選項。A.similar 相似的 B. original 原始的，獨創(chuàng)的,都不合適。

　　9.【答案】B (provide)

　　【解析】 紙質(zhì)支票支付能夠____收據(jù),這是和電子支付相比的一大優(yōu)勢，A. collect 收集收據(jù)，C. copy 復(fù)印收據(jù)，D. print 打印收據(jù)都和實際生活不符合。應(yīng)該是 B. provide 提供收據(jù)。

　　10.【答案】A (give up)

　　【解析】該動詞短語的賓語是前文的 something, 指代上文的 advantage，紙質(zhì)支票支付能夠提供收據(jù)這一優(yōu)勢，肯定是消費者不愿放棄的。和優(yōu)勢相搭配的動詞短語不能是 B. take over 接管，也不能是 C. bring back 拿回來，D. pass down 傳遞、遺傳也不符合。A. give up 放棄一種優(yōu)勢，符合語境，為正確答案。

　　11. 【答案】A (before)

　　【解析】這里考查的是時間連詞的應(yīng)用。句子意思是“在支票兌換成現(xiàn)金之前要花上好幾天”，符合句意的只有 before，其它三項都不符合。

　　12. 【答案】D (withdrawn)

　　【解析】這里考查動詞辨義。原文句子意思是“資金是從發(fā)卡機構(gòu)的賬戶里提取的”，withdraw 有“提款、取款”的意思，這里是指紙幣從銀行賬戶中“被取出”故為正確答案。

　　13. 【答案】C (Because)

　　【解析】這里考查的是連詞的應(yīng)用。從原文可以看出空后的兩個句子在意思上存在著因果關(guān)系，“因為電子支付是即付的，所以消除了客戶的付款”。四個選項中只有 C because 可以表因果，其他三項均不能表因果。故答案為 C。

　　14. 【答案】C( raise)

　　【解析】 這里考查的是動詞辨析以及上下文語義銜接。[A] hide “隱藏，隱瞞”，[B] express “表達，表示”，[C] raise “舉起，提高，引發(fā)”，[D] ease “減輕，緩和”，四個選項中能和 concerns構(gòu)成搭配的只有 raise，故正確答案為[C]。

　　15.【答案】C.(stored)

　　【解析】這句講了 an unauthorized hacker has been able to access a computer database and to alter information__________ there. “一些黑客入侵電腦數(shù)據(jù)庫并且更改_____信息”根據(jù)空前信息可知是入侵電腦數(shù)據(jù)庫，所以 information 是被儲存在電腦數(shù)據(jù)庫中的信息。

　　16.【答案】C.(uncommon)

　　【解析】此題考查一致性?？崭袼诰洹癟he fact that this is not an__16_occurrence means that…”中 this 指代上文中 that 從句的內(nèi)容，即黑客能夠獲取電腦數(shù)據(jù)庫和更改儲存的信息。因此 not an_16_occurrence 應(yīng)該能體現(xiàn)這一行為的特征，而上文提到“We often hear media reports that…”，其中的 often 正是對這一行為的特征解釋，即 not an__occurrence 等于 often 的含義，對比選項，只有 C 選項 uncommon 符合，帶入后意為“經(jīng)常發(fā)生的事情”。

　　17.【答案】A (steal)

　　【解析】本題缺少謂語動詞，通過語法結(jié)構(gòu)可以看出，主語是 dishonest persons，并通過后面的其他人的帳戶，可以推定為答案是負向的，只有 A steal 符合題意，語義上也說得通，故為正確答案。

　　18.【答案】B.(prevention)

　　【解析】文章最后一段首句談?wù)撾娮痈顿M方式的又一個缺陷：會引起安全和隱私問題。接下來就開始解釋這個現(xiàn)象?？崭袼诰涮岬健皩@種欺詐的_18__絕非易事，而且一個新的電腦科學(xué)領(lǐng)域正在形成來_19__安全問題。”因此，本句在談?wù)搶栴}的解決應(yīng)對。18 空格與 19空格所填內(nèi)容語意上應(yīng)該是一致的。瀏覽選項，18 空只能選 prevention，即防止這種欺詐行為發(fā)生并非易事，而 C 選項anipulation 是“操縱”的意思，D 選項 justification 意為“解釋，證明……合理”，均不合理。

　　19.【答案】A.(cope with)

　　【解析】此空格解釋同 18 空格，應(yīng)選有“處理，解決”意思的選項，只有 A 選項 cope with合適。B 選項 fight against 意為“對抗，抵制”，而賓語是 security issues，因此不符合。

　　20.【答案】D.(trail)

　　【解析】此空所在句提出了使用電子付費方式的又一個擔(dān)心，即會留下__20_，空格后的定語從句解釋了空格內(nèi)容，即它包含大量個人數(shù)據(jù)。瀏覽選項，只有 trail 符合，意為“痕跡”。B 碎片從語義上均說不通，C 路徑有一定的干擾性，但相比較 D 而言，痕跡更為合適，故為正確答案

　　閱讀理解：

　　21.【答案】A the impact of technological advances

　　【解析】 細節(jié)理解題。第一段第二行指出笑話是關(guān)于紡織廠自動化程度的，后一句具體說明了笑話的內(nèi)容：工廠平均每天只有兩個人，一人一狗。人的工作是喂狗，狗的工作是看機器，暗示了工廠所有的生產(chǎn)工作都是由機器自動完成的。故這個笑話是用來說明技術(shù)進步的影響。

　　22.【答案】D contribute something unique

　　【解析】 事實細節(jié)題，通過題干“根據(jù)第 3 段，要想成為一個成功的雇員，一個人得……”, 我們可以定位到文章第三段 Therefore, everyone needs to find their extra-their unique value　contribution that makes them stand out in whatever is their field of employment.意為：因此，人人都需要有另外的價值，異于常人的獨特價值能夠讓他們在各自的雇傭市場上脫穎而出。我們可以得出，題干中“to be a successful employee”與第三段的最后一句話中的“that makes 　them stand out in whatever is their field of employment”是同義替換，“everyone needs to find their extra-their unique value contribution”與D選項中的“contribute something unique”是同義替換，所以 D 選項正確。

　　23. 【答案】B job opportunities are disappearing at a high speed

　　【解析】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)題干定位到第四段，第一句 technology has been eating jobs(技術(shù)使工作機會減少)也反映了該段的主旨。而根據(jù)題干 quotation 一詞，我們讀到引號里有“shed workers (解雇工人)”、“roughly one out of every three manufacturing jobs-about 6 million in total -disappeared 可推斷出 B 選項。

　　24. 【答案】B to ensure more education for people

　　【解析】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)題干 reduce unemployment 減少失業(yè)，可以定位到文章中最后一段，這段出現(xiàn)了與之類似的表達“support employment” 促進就業(yè)，而題干表述“the most important”與文章“nothing would be more important than”相對應(yīng)，指出促進就業(yè)最重要的是頒布類似于“G.I.Bill”的法案來保障人們接受高等教育的權(quán)利，選項 C 與之吻合，故正確。A項加速信息技術(shù)產(chǎn)業(yè)變革，C 項促進經(jīng)濟全球化，均未提及，故排除。D 項是干擾項，雖提及要頒布更多法案，但頒布法案的目的實際是為了保障教育，故也排除。

　　25.【答案】C Average Is Over

　　【解析】主旨大意題，主要考查考生根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容凝練主旨大意的能力。從整個文章的脈絡(luò)來看，第一段以亞當(dāng)•大衛(wèi)森一篇論文中關(guān)于現(xiàn)代工廠自動化與僅需要一人一狗兩個員工的一則笑話，揭示了科技進步給人們帶來的影響。第二、三段是科技的進步引起工廠自動化水平提高，普通員工如果沒有競爭力和突出優(yōu)勢，就很容易失去工作，因此也對員工提出了更高的要求(extra-unique value contribution)。第四段就是員工只有不斷地提高自己的教育水平，才能讓自己脫穎而出。最后一段點明主題，average is officially over。由此可見，全文一直在圍繞這一宏觀主線展開，這一主線也統(tǒng)領(lǐng)全文，所以正確答案為 C。

　　26.【答案】C stay in a foreign temporarily

　　【解析】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)題干，首先定位到首段 birds of passage 是前面一句中的 1/4 的意大利移民的昵稱，他們只在美國居住了一段時間，但最終還是返回意大利。A 項的內(nèi)容在首段首句有提及，但是它突出強調(diào)的是橫跨大西洋的移民，這也是一世紀前的情況，而如今birds of passage 可能來自世界各個角落，并非局限于大西洋兩岸。B 項與段意不符，D 項文中未提及。

　　27.【答案】C should be adopted to meet challenges

　　【解析】推理判斷題。根據(jù)題干可定位到第二段。解題關(guān)鍵可定位到“…, but we need to change the way we think about categories. We need to look beyond stick definitions of legal and illegal.…We might then begin to solve our immigration challenges.” 意為“我們需要改變的是關(guān)于分類的思考方式，突破合法和非法的嚴格限制。首先承認短暫移民者的存在，然后解決移民問題面臨的挑戰(zhàn)。” C 項高度總結(jié)了以上幾點。A 項與原文意思不符。B、D 項在文中未提及。

　　28.【答案】D the freedom to stay and leave

　　【解析】事實細節(jié)題。根據(jù)題干，可定位到第三段。解題關(guān)鍵在于對“They prefer to come and go as opportunity calls them .They can manage to have a job in one place and a family in another.”的理解。意為“他們跟著機會走，來去自如。他們可以在一個地方立業(yè)，在另一個地方成家”。強調(diào)的是工作機會，而不在乎工作地點。D 項是句意的高度概括。A 項是對原文的片面理解，吸引短暫移民者的不僅僅是來自金錢的激勵(financial incentives)，還有工作機會和工作理念。B 項在文中未提及。C 項中的 regular jobs(一般工作)在文中未提及，是對文意的曲解。

　　29.【答案】C with legal tolerance

　　【解析】推理判斷題。根據(jù)題干可定位到第五段。題干問到“根據(jù)作者的意思，我們(美國)應(yīng)該怎樣對待這些短暫移民者?”在本段中，作者寫道我們應(yīng)該“Looking beyond the culture war logic of right or wrong means opening up the middle ground and understanding…意思是“我們應(yīng)該超越移民合法性方面的文化之爭，重現(xiàn)看待中間地段，充分意識到當(dāng)今的移民管理體系需要各種途徑，從而取得多樣化的結(jié)果，來解決現(xiàn)今移民體系下用法律手段很難解決的問題”，暗含了 C 項中的 tolerance 也就是對 multiple paths and multiple outcomes 的改寫。A、B和 D 項在文中未提及。

　　30.【答案】D legal or illegal: big mistake

　　【解析】主旨大意題。文章第二段中提出“我們把新移民分成兩類：合法移民和不合法移民”，同時作者認為“我們不需要局限于合法與不合法這樣嚴格的定義”，這說明了從合法和不合法角度對于移民的分類是錯誤的。另外，文章最后一段最后一句“包括在現(xiàn)行的移民體系中不容易合法的實現(xiàn)的一些事情”也反映了文章的中心。即，從合法和不合法角度對于移民的分類是錯誤的。A 項談到短暫移民者的移動是個錯誤，偏離了文章主旨。B 和 C 項說的是 risk，文中并未提及。

　　31.【答案】 D predetermine the accuracy of our judgment

　　【解析】細節(jié)理解題。 文章第一段提到“如果我們在做出反應(yīng)之前花點兒時間來思考，那么將會減少甚至消除我們快速反應(yīng)所帶來的負面影響”，也就是說我們做決定所花的時間決定了我們判斷的準確性。文章第二段第二句話也隱含本題正確答案線索。第二句以 But 這一轉(zhuǎn)折連詞引導(dǎo)，應(yīng)該重點關(guān)注其后表達的信息，“但是，我們需要更多的時間來評估其他要素。” 而本段的第三、四句則明顯地揭示出本題正確答案，尤其是第三個句子中的“accurately” 一詞。選項D中的表達“可預(yù)先決定判斷的準確性”，此外，此選項中的“accuracy” 為“accurately ” 的同詞異形，故此項為正確答案。選項 A 和 B 屬于無中生有，選項 C “取決于評估的重要性” 與原文不符合。

　　32.【答案】A can be associative

　　【解析】細節(jié)理解題。由題干的 fast-food logo 我們可以定位到第三段。第二段說處理人際關(guān)系問題時人們會倉促決定，第三段開頭部分說到“讓人做出倉促決定的刺激因素不僅限于際關(guān)系范圍內(nèi)。緊接著說人們對快餐商標(biāo)的反應(yīng)速度比一般閱讀速度快。下一句則闡述了原因：因為人們無意識地(unconsciously)將“快餐”與“速度”和“心急”聯(lián)系在一起，并將這些沖動付諸行動”。A 項“決定是有聯(lián)系性的”正確，因為人們將“快餐”與“速度”，“心急”聯(lián)系在了一起。B 項“決定是無意識的”與原文意思相反。C 項“決定是危險的”，原文未提及。D 項“決定是不沖動”與原文意思相悖。

　　33.【答案】C think before we act

　　【解析】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)題干定位到第四段。第四段通過兩個例子說明我們應(yīng)該怎樣克服負面影響，第一個例子表示“如果我們會對消費產(chǎn)品或者房產(chǎn)選擇做出“過度反應(yīng)”，我們可以在購買之前先思考一會兒”，由此可說明我們應(yīng)該在行動之前先思考來消除負面影響，因選擇答案 C。

　　34.【答案】D adequate information

　　【解析】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)題干 John Gottman 定位到全文倒數(shù)第二段：John Gottman, the　marriage expert, the marriage expert, explains that we quickly” thin slice” …“婚姻專家約翰.古德曼解釋說，我們快速反應(yīng)的信息的可靠性是建立在這樣的快速反應(yīng)的行為是以長期的研究基礎(chǔ)而做出的快速反應(yīng)行為”。其中 ground 是題干中 base on 的同義替換，long-term study“長期的研究”與 D 選項 adequate information 相互呼應(yīng)。

　　35.【答案】C optimistic

　　【解析】作者態(tài)度題。末段最后兩句：Although technology might change the way we react, it hasn’t changed our nature…“盡管技術(shù)可能改變我們反應(yīng)的方式，但是它并沒有改變我們的本性。我們?nèi)匀挥心芰θタ朔T惑并扭轉(zhuǎn)這種高速度的趨勢”可知，作者的態(tài)度是非常確定的，因此 B 選項 uncertain(不確定)首先排除;We still have the imaginative capacity…表明作者對于我們的能力是有信心的。optimistic 最為恰當(dāng)。

　　36.【答案】B men have the final say

　　【解析】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)題干 corporate workplace 定位到首段，本段中談到，說歐洲性別不平等，in particular 進一步指出 corporate workplace，說明工作中性別尤其不平等。緊接著說歐洲公司高管職位 remain overwhelmingly male，說明以男性為主導(dǎo)。Indeed 進一步解釋，指出女性在歐洲公司董事會只占有 14%的席位。所以，B 選項是基于首段信息給出的推論。

　　A 項 women take the lead 和 D 項 senior management is family-friendly 都與原文相反;C 選項是對文章 overwhelm 這個詞出的干擾項。

　　37.【答案】A a reflection of gender balance

　　【解析】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)題干定位到第二段首句，intended legislation 是對 is now considering legislation 的同義改寫。該句意為“歐洲國家現(xiàn)在考慮立法來迫使公司董事讓婦女的比例達到60%”，因此立法是為了保持性別的平衡。B 選項的 reluctant 是對 Reding’s reluctance 出的干擾項，并不是說 European Union 的立法。C 選項 a response to Reding’s call 不正確，Reding 號召的是 voluntary action， D 也是干擾項，而真正的立法緣由是對 gender balance 的反思。

　　38.【答案】A get top business positions

　　【解析】細節(jié)理解題。定位至第 4 段，Reding 說自己不喜歡 quotas，后面出現(xiàn)了 but，他真正的觀點在 but 之后，他說他喜歡 quotas 所做的事情，即 get action，后面的冒號是對 get action 的解釋。核心的答案在 a result seen in France and other countries with legally binding provisions on placing women in top business positions。a result 是前面內(nèi)容的同位語，進一步補充說明，所以選 A。B 項 see through the glass ceiling 是對原文 break through the glass ceiling 的望文生義，屬于膚淺選項，也和原文意思不符。C 和 D 選項屬于無中生有。

　　39.【答案】D approval

　　【解析】作者態(tài)度題。本題問的是作者對 Reding 的呼吁的態(tài)度。Reding 的 appeal 最早出現(xiàn)在第 2 段，即呼吁在董事會中有 40%的女性，以實現(xiàn)性別均衡。而第四段再一次提到 Reding 的觀點即“他自己也不喜歡 quotas,但是 quotas 本身確實起到了作用”;接著作者在第五段給出了自己的觀點，先是說可以理解 Reding，自己本身也不喜歡 quotas，但是“既然現(xiàn)在meritocratic ideal(精英管理的理想)有障礙，確實需要一種強制的手段，即強制設(shè)定男女比例?！彼钥梢钥闯鲎髡呤浅帧百澇伞钡膽B(tài)度。

　　40.【答案】C suitable public policies

　　【解析】細節(jié)理解題。題干中的 women entering top management become headlines 是對 when women do break through to the summit of the corporate power 的同義改寫，become headlines 是對后面 for example 所舉的 Sheryl Sandberg 的事例的概括。答案出現(xiàn)在第 7 段“If appropriate pubic choices were in place to help all women, ...Sandberg would be no more newsworthy...”，這個句子是 if 虛擬條件句，是對未來的一種美好展望，也是提出觀點的一種方式，意為“如果有合理的公共政策來幫助所有的女性，Sandberg 也就沒有報道價值了”。

　　新題型

　　41.【答案】F Planning is everything

　　【解析】段落首句談到“Impulsive spending isn’t an option, so plan your work’s menu in advance...”，其表達的含義是：沖動消費不是一個好的選擇，所以提前計劃你一周的菜單，為你所需材料的具體數(shù)量做一個購物清單。首句中出現(xiàn)了因果邏輯關(guān)聯(lián)詞 so，而下文又沒有出現(xiàn)明顯轉(zhuǎn)折，因此首句是本段的中心句。文章進而提及作者為此專門做一個 Excel 表格，并且認為這樣做不僅花錢少并且有助于均衡飲食。顯然文章的中心在于首句談到的“plan”，而中心不是選項 B 表達的“balance your diet”，故答案為 F。

　　42.【答案】E Stick to what you need

　　【解析】段落第二句話中的代詞“them”指代第一句中的“supermarkets and their anonymity”。該句通過這一指代順接第一句，表達了一個否定的含義，即你不需要在小販那里感到尷尬。緊接著第三句用肯定的語氣指出“if you plan properly, you’ll know that you only need... 350g of shin of beef... ”即如果你合理的規(guī)劃，你就會清楚知道你想要什么，比如你只需要 350 克牛肉。作者通過語義上層層遞進的方式指出了這一段的中心：你需要什么就買什么，要對你所　需要購買的東西的分量要堅持。因此選項 E 為正確選項。

　　43.【答案】G Waste not, want not

　　【解析】本段內(nèi)容首先談到“你可能驕傲的說冰箱里只有冷凍的青豆，但是這還不夠”。這句話中雖然沒有明顯的轉(zhuǎn)折詞，但在語義上屬于隱性轉(zhuǎn)折，因此段落的重點應(yīng)該在后面。第二句提到“Mine is filled with...”，其中 Mine 等于 my freezer，通過指代順接上一句話。接著第三句前半句指出“提前做好計劃可以避免浪費”，后半句具體陳述了怎樣避免浪費。其中“eliminate wastage”與選項 G 中的“waste not”構(gòu)成同義替換。雖然該句中出現(xiàn)了 planning, 但是本段的主要內(nèi)容是談到對于剩余的食物要盡可能充分利用，從而避免浪費。所以選項 G談到“不浪費，不愁缺”為正確選項。

　　44.【答案】C Shopkeepers are your friends

　　【解析】該段首句的句內(nèi)出現(xiàn)轉(zhuǎn)折，重點在轉(zhuǎn)折之后。第一句 but 轉(zhuǎn)折之后提到“it really is a top tip”，即這真的是一個好的提議。那么首先要還原 it 所指代的內(nèi)容。句前沒有提供信息，句后第二句提到“shop at tchers,...regularly, ..and be super friendly”。其中“be friendly”通過詞性轉(zhuǎn)換和選項 C 中的“are your friends”夠成同義替換。同時，最后一句具體的信息描述了購

　　物時表現(xiàn)出友好的態(tài)度所帶來的好處：they will let you have for free(通常他們都會免費給你)可知，C 最為合適。

　　45.【答案】D Remember to treat yourself

　　【解析】該段首句句內(nèi)出現(xiàn)轉(zhuǎn)折，重點在轉(zhuǎn)折之后。第一句 but 后提到“save your pennies and once every few months treat yourself to a set lunch”，其表達的含義是要節(jié)省錢，但可以每幾個月款待自己一次。而該句也是本段落的中心句。段落余下的信息都是在用數(shù)據(jù)來解釋這個道理。選項 D 中出現(xiàn)了“treat yourself”，屬于原詞復(fù)現(xiàn)。

　　翻譯：

　　(第一段)我能從過去的 53 年中挑選一個時間，并且立即知道我(那時)所處的位置，(那時)新聞中發(fā)生的事件，甚至那天是星期幾。我具有這種能力可以追溯到我 4 歲的時候。

　　(第二段)對于我大腦接收的信息，我從來沒有感到難以把握。我的大腦似乎能夠處理(一切信息)，而且這些信息都被有條理的保存。當(dāng)我想到悲傷的事情，我像其他所有人一樣，　努力把它們放到一邊(以免影響我)。就是因為我的記憶是比較清晰有條理的，所以，我認為那些信息(對我來說)都不很困難。我強大的記憶力沒有讓我的情緒變得更敏感或者更真切。我能(清晰地)回憶起我祖父過世的那天的情景以及祖父去世前我們大家去醫(yī)院看望他時的悲傷。我還能(清晰地)記得同一天在 Broadway 上演的音樂劇《頭發(fā)》——它們都同樣地在我的腦海長久不衰。

　　PART A

　　命題解析

　　2013 年英語(二)小作文第四次考察了書信這一題型。屬于寫給同學(xué)的私人倡議信(并非告示)。值得注意的是，從 2012 年開始，考研命題組與時俱進，英語(一)及(二)小作文命題不再使用日常生活中已很少使用的 letter，而是替換為大家耳熟能詳?shù)?e-mail 形式。其實沒有本質(zhì)區(qū)別，最新大綱仍定義為“私人或公務(wù)信函”，寫法完全一樣。

　　眾所周知，人們生活與工作中均需使用 e-mail, 故 e-mail 也分為私人與公務(wù)兩種。私人書信稍微隨便一些，可使用 3-5 次縮寫、省略句或口語表達等非正式語言;公務(wù)書信稍微正式一些，最好不要使用非正式語言。

　　2005 年考研開考小作文以來，從未考過倡議信，2013 年首開先河。但這話題屬于考研寫作四大必考話題之“社會熱點“(社會公德/愛心)，這一話題迄今已考察四次：1995 年提綱作文“希望工程”、2001 年圖畫作文“愛心是一盞燈”、2006 年小作文“給希望工程捐款”。

　　在 2012 年新東方在線網(wǎng)絡(luò)課堂中，均提供了關(guān)于愛心的大量大小作文范文。幾乎全文　均可使用。

　　考研寫作要求采用縮進式：段間不空行，每段首行縮進四個字母。由于是寫給同學(xué)的半正式文體，應(yīng)寫“Dear Fellow Students,或 Dear Students,”等較為隨意的稱呼。首段可進行自我介紹(可以是班長)、表明寫作目的(倡議大家參加慈善義賣);次段應(yīng)展開具體細節(jié)：

　　詳細介紹義賣情況;尾段應(yīng)再次呼吁。落款應(yīng)使用“Yours ncerely,”或“Yours faithfully,”

　　等私人落款，不宜寫“Yours truly,”等公務(wù)落款，簽名切勿寫自己的真實姓名，應(yīng)用“Li Ming”代替。

　　由于小作文答題卡很小，很多考生將結(jié)尾客套及簽名擠在同一行或?qū)懺诳崭褚韵?，無需擔(dān)心，電腦可以掃描到，不會因此取得低分。很多考生并未按照以上要求去寫，也無須過于擔(dān)心，寫法有很多種，法無定法、萬法歸宗。只要切題同時語言簡潔、地道，均可取得不錯的成績。

　　Dear Fellow Classmates,

　　親愛的同學(xué)們：

　　我們班將在 2013 年 1 月 5 日舉辦一場慈善義賣，為需要幫助的孩子們募集資金。作為班長，我在這里號召大家積極參加。

　　Part B

　　命題解析

　　2013 年考研英語(二)大作文第四次考察了圖表作文，題目偏易。在 2010/2011 考察“經(jīng)濟類”話題、2012 考察“管理類”話題之后，13 年考察了考研寫作四大必考話題之“教育文化類”，主題是“某高校學(xué)生的兼職情況”。

　　在 2012 年新東方在線網(wǎng)絡(luò)課堂的強化班、沖刺班、點睛班中，均講解了“教育類”范文，尤其重點講解了 2006 年 MBA 寫作真題圖表作文“工程碩士招生”和 2008 年 MBA 寫作真題“成人高考”?？忌缯J真聽過以上課程并認真研讀過講義中的范文，13 年大作文并不難寫，很多表達均可使用。

　　本文首段應(yīng)描述圖表，首句應(yīng)進行總體描述，點出“主題”(兼職情況)及“對象”(某高校學(xué)生)。其次應(yīng)進行細節(jié)描述：大一至大三緩慢增加、大四急劇增加，并說明具體數(shù)據(jù)。

　　首段無需發(fā)表議論。次段應(yīng)進行利弊說明，詳細闡明大學(xué)生兼職的利與弊，并給出充分的原因來支持論點，也可使用舉例、正反等多種論證手段。尾段應(yīng)進行歸納結(jié)論或提出建議措施：只要大學(xué)生揚長避短、趨利避害，兼職將利大于弊。

　　鑒于考研寫作“語言第一位、結(jié)構(gòu)第二位、內(nèi)容第三位”，閱卷教師最重視的還是考生的真實語言水平，身為大學(xué)英語系教師的閱卷老師可謂一目了然。本文闡明大學(xué)生兼職利大于弊、弊大于利或各有利弊均可，只要能夠自圓其說即可，觀點無所謂正確錯誤之分。只要語言地道、結(jié)構(gòu)清晰、內(nèi)容切題，均可取得理想成績。

　　我們在課程中提倡考生“背誦、默寫、仿寫”考研寫作經(jīng)典范文，目的就是扎扎實實提高英語實力和寫作水平，在考場上融會貫通，以不變應(yīng)萬變。無論命題如何變化，真實的語言功底才是取得寫作高分的關(guān)鍵!即使僥幸押題成功，如果眾多考生使用同樣的范文或現(xiàn)場發(fā)揮部分錯誤百出，仍然取得低分。在現(xiàn)今急功近利、庸俗浮躁、嘩眾取寵的社會，靜心提高才是提高寫作分數(shù)的唯一出路。

　　鑒于網(wǎng)上答案錯誤百出，自己估分往往并不準確。希望考生務(wù)必向報考院校研究生院或研招辦咨詢查分，了解自己的寫作及各單項真實成績。成績才是檢驗寫作學(xué)習(xí)效果的最好方法!

　　One possible version:

　　The column chart clearly reveals the statistics of students taking part-time jobs in a certain university. According to the survey, there has been a steady increase from 67.77% to 71.93% for students holding temporary jobs from freshmen to juniors, while the percentage of seniors working part-time jumped markedly to 88.24%.

　　While part-time employment does have the potential to negatively affect a college student’s studies, it can also be a force for good in their academic careers. The most obvious way that having a part-time job can adversely affect students’studies is by becoming a drain on the their time. Another way that part time employment can be detrimental to students is by reducing the perceived incentive to study. Despite presenting certain pitfalls, working part-time during one’s college years also offer several potential benefits. For one, it can help students to better understand their preferences or to “test out” a possible career direction.

　　Additionally, companies seeking to recruit recent grads will give preference to those with real-world experience.

　　In the end, the impact of a part-time job on student’s academic career depends on the student’s ability to maintain focus and balance his or her own time. If students are able to effectively manage their time and secure a part-time position in a field related to their studies or interests, the job is certain to yield a positive impact.

　　參考譯文

　　這幅柱狀圖清晰顯示了某高校學(xué)生兼職情況的數(shù)據(jù)。根據(jù)調(diào)查，從大一到大三，兼職學(xué)生從 67.77%緩慢上升到 71.93%，而大四兼職學(xué)生的百分比則急劇上升到 88.24%。

　　盡管做兼職可能會對大學(xué)生的學(xué)習(xí)有些影響，但能在求學(xué)階段做點兼職也會有不少好處。兼職影響學(xué)業(yè)的主要問題就是耽誤時間。不利影響的另一發(fā)面就是會減少學(xué)生已有的學(xué)習(xí)動力。盡管提到了某些弊端，但在大學(xué)階段做兼職還是有很多好處的。首先，兼職能讓學(xué)生更好地了解自己的喜好或檢驗一種可能的職業(yè)方向。其次，那些招聘新近畢業(yè)生的公司都會偏愛有實際社會經(jīng)驗的大學(xué)生。

　　總之，兼職對大學(xué)生學(xué)業(yè)是否有影響取決于他們能否分清重點及平衡時間。假如他們能有效管理自己的時間，找到一個符合自己專業(yè)和興趣的兼職崗位，那么做兼職必定是有益的。
