Section I Use of English

Directions:

    Read the following text. Choose the best word(s) for each numbered black and mark A, B, C or D on ANSWER SHEET.(10 points)

 

 

 

1、【答案】[C] signal

　 【解析】此題所在的上下文內(nèi)容的意思是：陌生人之間沒有交流，大家都只關注自己的手機，甚至不_______。A項“票”，B項“允許”，C項“信號，打招呼”，D項“記錄”;選項中，只有C項符合上下文語義，因此signal正確。

2、【答案】[D] much

　 【解析】第二個空格所在句子的語義內(nèi)容是：我們避免和其他人交流是件很悲哀的是，原因在與和陌生人交流，我們會收獲_______。根據(jù)句子內(nèi)容，顯然是指和陌生人交流，我們會從中收獲很多東西。A.B.C.三個選項均不符合句意。因此答案選much.

3、【答案】[C] plugged

　 【解析】該題所在語境的意思是：不知道和陌生人交流，我們會從中收獲很多東西嗎，原因在于____我們的手機。A.打;B.引導;C.插入，投入;D.帶來;四個選項分別帶入句中，可以判斷出plugged符合句意。

4、【答案】[A] message

　 【解析】該題所在句子的意思是：這種普遍存在的盔甲(不和陌生人交流)傳遞了“不要靠近我”這個________。顯然這里考察了動賓搭配的考點，而且空格處的內(nèi)容是說“不要靠近我”。所以，根據(jù)send這個動詞和空格處后面的內(nèi)容可以判斷出，答案為message。其他選項均不符合前后語義。

5、【答案】[C] behind

　 【解析】該所要表達的意思是：…藏在我們屏幕的_______位置。A.下面;B.之外; C.后面;D. 來自;四個選項分別帶入原句，只有behind符合句意。

6、【答案】[A] misinterpreted

　 【解析】空的語境為：我們害怕被拒絕，也害怕我們善意的社交之舉被____成“怪異的”，只有答案D符合上下文語義。

7、【答案】[D] delayed

　 【解析】空格所在句與前后句同為we fear…的并列句，故句意應前后保持一致。前一句說“我們害怕被拒絕，被誤解”，后一句說“我們害怕被打擾”，A選項帶入語義不通，B，C選項不符合該文語境，D選項帶入文中“我們害怕被耽擱時間”，符合上下文語義，故答案為D。

8、【答案】[D] unfamiliar

　【解析】空格處需填入一個形容詞修飾strangers(陌生人)，所以該詞應符合陌生人的身份與特點，既是陌生人，肯定是“不熟悉的”，故答案為D。

9、【答案】[C] anxious

　 【解析】空所在語境為“因為陌生人固有的陌生感，所以當與朋友和熟人相比，在溝通時，我們很容易感到_____。”填入的詞應滿足前后句的因果邏輯關系，不難判斷空格處應填入一個消極的詞匯，故首先排除A和B選項，D選項“生氣的”和C選項“緊張的，焦慮的”，根據(jù)常識，C選項更符合陌生人所帶來的感覺，故答案為C。

10、【答案】[D] turn (to)

　　【解析】空格要求填入一個動詞，首先需與介詞to構成搭配，其次需滿足 “為了避免這種不自在，我們____我們的手機。”的語義，D選項turn to表示轉(zhuǎn)向求助于某物某事，符合上下文語義，故答案為D。

11、【答案】[A] dangerous

　　【解析】根據(jù)此處結構protect us from what we perceive is going to be more _______(保護我們以防我們觀察的東西更加_______)，可推斷空處填入詞匯為負向感情色彩，A選項dangerous(危險的)意思吻合，且和前文uneasiness(不安);security(安全)形成呼應;B選項mysterious(神秘的)與主題關聯(lián)不大，且為中性詞;C選項violent(暴力的)意思比較極端，且不合題意;D選項boring(無聊的)同樣不吻合該段主題。故答案為A選項dangerous。

12、【答案】[A] hurt

　　【解析】該句意思為：當我們撕掉創(chuàng)可貼，把智能手機揣到口袋里，并且抬頭行走，并沒有_______那么糟糕。A選項hurt(傷害)、B選項resist(抵抗)、C選項bend(彎曲)、D選項decay(衰退)，其中hurt符合題意，it doesn’t hurt so bad(沒那么令人難受)。因此答案為A選項hurt。

13、【答案】[B] conversation

　　【解析】由上文推斷此處為研究者進行的一項實驗內(nèi)容，根據(jù)該句后面一句中talk to可知，實驗是讓研究對象進行交談，可鎖定B選項conversation(對話)，與talk to對應。A選項lecture(講座)、C選項debate(討論)、D選項negotiation(談判)均不吻合題意，故答案為B選項conversation。

14、【答案】[D] passengers

　　【解析】該句意思為：他們讓芝加哥火車上的通勤者和他們的_______交談。根據(jù)commuter(通勤者)一詞可找到與之對應的A選項passengers(乘客)，B選項employees(雇員)、C選項researchers(研究者)、D選項trainees(受訓者)都不正確。故答案為A選項passengers。

15、【答案】[C] predict

　　【解析】該句意思為：“當兩位博士讓火車站的其他人_______和其他陌生人交談會有什么感覺，乘客們認為……”。A選項reveal(揭露;曝光)，多接負面現(xiàn)象，此處不搭配;B選項choose(選擇)不合題意;C選項predict(預測)代入文中翻譯通順，文法符合;D選項design(設計)不合題意。故答案為C選項predict。

16、【答案】[D] ride

　　【解析】此處需要填入一個與commuters“上下班往返的人”相關的詞。因此排除A選項voyage“旅途”和B選項flight“航班”。上文提到了“the same train station”， 因此排除C選項walk“步行”，選項D為正確答案。

17、【答案】[A] went through

　　【解析】此處考察固定詞組。 A選項go through with意為“完成”，B選項“do away with”意為“廢除，消滅”，C選項“catch up with”意為“跟上，趕上”，D選項put up with 意為“忍受”，因此符合文意，能夠和實驗搭配的只能是選項A。

18、【答案】[B] In fact

　　【解析】此處需要填入一個固定詞組，起到承接上下文的作用。上文提到那些放下手機，積極與乘客交流的人并沒有受到冷落。空格后指出，與那些沒有對話的人相比，這些人更加的開心。可見上下文之間是并列或遞進的關系。A 選項In turn意為“輪流，以此”，不符合上下文關系，C選項In particular“尤其是，特別是”常常用來表示舉例的邏輯關系，因此排除。D選項In consequence“結果”，表示因果的邏輯關系，因此排除。所以正確答案為B選項in fact“事實上”。

19、【答案】[B] since

　　【解析】此處考察上下文的邏輯關系。上文指出，與那些沒有對話的人相比，那些積極交談的人更加開心。下文則提到人類的繁榮起源于社會聯(lián)系。顯然，這二者之間不是假設關系，因此排除A選項unless和C選項if，也非轉(zhuǎn)折關系，因此排除D選項whereas，正確答案為B選項since，表因果關系。

20、【答案】[C] simple

【解析】此處需要填入一個可以形容冒號后句子的形容詞。與陌生人交談讓你覺得不孤單。顯然這一事實，絕非funny“滑稽的”, logical “有條理的”，也非rare“稀有的”。 C選項“簡單的”符合文意，是正確答案。

 

點評：2015年完型填空難度適中，與往年相比變化不大，具體相關知識點和解題思路在英語沖刺班的完型填空部分有重點講解， 在強化班完形填空及考研詞匯中也有所涉及。做題的主要方法還是我們的十六字原則：瞻前顧后、胸懷大局，先易后難，邊做邊猜。重點考查根據(jù)上下文辨析詞匯、詞組的能力。對語法知識的測試比較少，而對詞匯、固定搭配和邏輯銜接方面的考查比較多，因此也提醒備考2016年的考生在解答完型填空時，一定要從上下文的角度來考慮，運用邏輯思維解題，對文章整體、句際關系及句子內(nèi)部進行綜合把握。

 

 

Section Ⅱ Reading Comprehension

Part A

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.(40 points)

Text 1

　 　A new study suggests that contrary to most surveys, people are actually more stressed at home that at work. Researchers measured people's cortisol, which is a stress marker, while they were at word and while they were at home and found it higher at what is supposed to be a place of refuge.

　　"Further contradicting conventional wisdom, we found that women as well as men have lower levels of stress at work that at home," writer one of the researchers, Sarah Damaske. In fact women even say they feel better at work, she notes."It is men, not women, who report being happier at home that at work." Another surprise is that the findings hold true for both those with children and without, but more so for nonparents. This is why people who work outside the home have better health.

　　What the study doesn't measure is whether people are still doing work when they're at home, whether it is household work or work brought home from the office. For many men, the end of the workday is a time to kick back. For women who stay home, they never get to leave the office. And for women who work outside the home, they often are playing catch-up-with-household tasks. With the blurring of roles, and the fact that the home front lags well behind the workplace in making adjustments for working women it's not surprising that women are more stressed at home.

　　But it's not just a gender thing. At work, people pretty much know what they're supposed to be doing to be doing: wording, making money, doing the tasks they have to do in order to draw an income. The bargain is very pure: Employee puts in hours of physical or mental labor and employee draws out life-sustaining moola.

　 　On the home front, however, people have no such clarity. Rare is the household in which the division of labor is so clinically and methodically laid out. There are a lot of tasks to be done, there are inadequate rewards for most of them. Your home colleagues-your family-have no clear rewards for their labor; they need to be talked into is, of if they're teenagers, threatened with complete removal of all electronic devices. Plus, they’re teenagers, threatened with complete removal of all electronic devices. Plus, they're your family. You cannot fire your family. You never really get to go home from home.

　 　So it's not surprising that people are more stressed at home. Not only are the tasks apparently infinite, the co-workers are much harder to motivate.

 

21. According to Paragraph 1, most previous surveys found that home________.

　  [A] offered greater relaxation than the workplace

　　[B] was an ideal place for stress measurement

　　[C] generated more stress than the workplace

[D] was an unrealistic place for relaxation

22. According to Damaske, who are likely to be the happiest at home?

    [A] Childless wives

　　[B] working mothers

　　[C] Childless husbands

　　[D] Working fathers

23. The blurring of working women’s roles refers to the fact that____

　　[A] it is difficult for them to leave their office

　　[B] their home is also a place for kicking back

　　[C] there is often much housework left behind

　　[D] they are both bread winners and housewives

24. The word 'moola'(Line 4, para.4) most probably means____

　  [A]skills

　　[B]energy

　　[C]earnings

　　[D]nutrition

25. The home front differs from the workplace in that_____

　  [A]division of labor at home is seldom clear-cut

　　[B]home is hardly a cozier working environment

　　[C]household tasks are generally more motivating

[D]family labor is often adequately rewarded

 

21.【答案】[A] offered greater relaxation than the workplace

   【解析】細節(jié)題。答案定位在第一段的首句“A new study suggests that contrary to most surveys, people are actually more stressed at home that at work.”

文中提到與大多數(shù)研究不同，人們在家中比在工作中壓力更大。也就是說，大多數(shù)研究認為：在家中的壓力沒有工作中的壓力大。由此得出答案是A選項。

22. 【答案】[C] Childless husbands

    【解析】細節(jié)題。答案定位在第二段，比起女人，男人在家中比在工作中更快樂。有沒有孩子都成立，但在未為人父母的人群中這點體現(xiàn)得更為明顯。此題為典型的綜合細節(jié)題，將原文中的兩處子細節(jié)進行了概括。答案應該是沒孩子的丈夫。

23. 【答案】[D] they are both bread winners and housewives

    【解析】細節(jié)題。答案定位在第三段， 一邊在外工作，一邊忙著家務活。答案中bread winners and housewives這兩個角色精確概括了原文中work outside the home, they often are playing catch-up-with-household tasks這句話。

24. 【答案】[C] earnings

　  【解析】詞匯題。答案定位句：Employee puts in hours of physical or mental labor and employee draws out life-sustaining moola. 他們付出勞動，他們得到維持生計的?那還能是什么，只能是錢唄!況且這個詞在美語俚語中的意思就是鈔票。因此得出答案。

25.【答案】[A] division of labor at home is seldom clear-cut　

  【解析】細節(jié)題。答案定位句：On the home front, however, people have no such clarity. Rare is the household in which the division of labor is so clinically and methodically laid out. 從家庭層面來說，人們的分工就沒有這么明顯了。很難客觀冷靜得分清楚誰該干什么。因此得出答案A選項：家庭中的分工很少那么清晰。

 

　文章大意：本文出自Time一篇題為Could be that you're still laboring but not getting paid的文章。文章主要介紹了一項新的調(diào)查研究，即人們在家比在工作時更能感受到壓力。該調(diào)查的一位研究者指出，女性和男性工作時的壓力反倒比在家里的壓力要小，而男性又比女性在家里更能感受到快樂。為人父母也是同樣的情況。相對來說，已婚但未養(yǎng)育子女的男性最能在家里感受到快樂。但人們在家是否工作，做的是家務活兒還是從辦公室?guī)Щ丶业墓ぷ?，該研究卻未能進行評估。對于既要忙工作又要處理家務的女性而言，她們在家里能感受到壓力就不足為奇了。文章后半部分指出，除了性別因素外，勞動分工是否明確也是一影響因素。工作時，人們非常清楚該做些什么，工作就是為了賺錢。而在家里，人們面對的是家庭成員，付出勞動并沒有明確的回報。因此，要調(diào)動他們的積極性就并沒有那么容易了。

    點評：文章內(nèi)容相對簡單，語言難度也不大，文章長度適中；以細節(jié)題為主，命題人完全按照段落順序出題，并且明確標注答題區(qū)間，易于找到正確答案。所以通過學習百源欣才基礎班閱讀技巧，做過強化班閱讀習題和?？季淼膶W員都可以從容應對。

 

Text 2

　　For years, studies have found that first-generation college student – those who do not have a parent with a college degree – lag other students on a range of education achievement factors. Their grades are lower than and their dropout rates are higher. But since such students are most likely to advance economically if they succeed in higher education, colleges and universities have pushed for decades to recruit more of them. This has created “a paradox” in that recruiting first-generation student, but then watching many of them fail, means that higher education has “continued to reproduce and widen, rather than close.” An achievement gap based on social class, according to the depressing beginning of a paper forthcoming in the journal Psychological Science.

　　But the article is actually quite optimistic, as it outlines a potential solution to this problem, suggesting that an approach (which involves a one-hour, next-to-no-cost program) can close 63 percent of the achievement gap (measured by such factors as grades) between first-generation and other students.

　　The authors of the paper are from different universities, and their findings are based on a study involving 147 students (who completed the project) at an unnamed private university. First generation was defined as not having parent with four-year college degree. Most of the first-generation students (59.1 percent) were recipients of Pell Grants, a federal grant of undergraduates with financial need, while this was true only for 8.6 percent of the students with at least one parent with four-year degree.

　　Their thesis – that a relatively modest intervention could have a big impact – was based on the view that first-generation students may be most lacking not in potential but in practical knowledge about how to deal with the issues that face most college students. They cite past research by several authors to show that this is the gap that must be narrowed to close the achievement gap.

　　Many first-generation students “struggled to navigate the middle-class culture of higher education, learn the ‘rules of the game,’ and take advantage of college resources,” they write. And this becomes more of a problem when colleges don’t talk about the class advantages and disadvantages of different groups of students. Because US colleges and universities seldom acknowledge how social class can affect students’ educational experiences, many first-generation students lack of sight about why they are struggling and do not understand students ‘like them’ can improve.”

26. Recruiting more first-generation students has .

　　[A]. reduced their dropout rates

　　[B]. narrowed the achievement gap

　　[C]. missed its original purpose

　　[D]. depressed college students

27. The author of the research article are optimistic because .

　　[A]. the problem is solvable

　　[B]. their approach is costless

　　[C]. the recruiting rate has increased

　　[D]. their findings appeal to students

28. The study suggests that most first-generation students .

　　[A]. study at private universities

　　[B]. are from single-parent families

　　[C]. are in need of financial support

　　[D]. have failed their college

29. The author of the paper believe that first-generation students .

　　[A]. are actually indifferent to the achievement gap

　　[B]. can have a potential influence on other projects

　　[C]. may lack opportunities to apply research projects

　　[D]. are inexperienced in handling their issues at college

30. We may infer from the last paragraph that .

[A]. universities often reject the culture of their middle-class

[B].colleges are partly responsible for the problem in question

[C]. students are usually to blame for their lack of resources

　　[D]. social class greatly helps enrich educational experiences.

 

26.【答案】[C] missed its original purpose

   【解析】細節(jié)題。答案定位第一段第二句，原文說原來的目標是希望能讓屌絲逆襲，但事與愿違，所以選沒能夠達成預期目標。因此答案選擇C選項。

27.【答案】[C] the problem is solvable

　 【解析】答案在原文定位：But the article is actually quite optimistic, as it outlines a potential solution to this problem 原文說為什么樂觀，因為為解決這個問題提供了一種潛在的可能。對應答案的是C選項這個問題能被解決。

28.【答案】[C] are in need of financial support

　 【解析】細節(jié)題。答案原文定位：Most of the first-generation students (59.1 percent) were recipients of Pell Grants, a federal grant for undergraduates with financial need.因此答案為C.

29. 【答案】[D] are inexperienced in handling their issues at college

　  【解析】細節(jié)題。答案原文定位：first-generation students may be most lacking not in potential but in practical knowledge about how to deal with the issues that face most college students, 原文的deal with換成了答案中的handling, 因此答案選擇D選項?！　?/p>

29. 【答案】[B] colleges are partly responsible for the problem in question

【解析】推斷題+細節(jié)題。答案定位在最后一段：And this becomes more of a problem when colleges don't talk about ...affect students' educational experiences 典型先果后因，言下之意是現(xiàn)在出現(xiàn)這種情況，恰恰是大學應該部分上負起責任。因此得出答案是B選項。

　

    文章大意：本文出自Inside Higher Ed網(wǎng)站一篇題為An Hour Makes a Difference的文章。本文介紹了心理科學雜志的一篇文章。該文章指出，多年的研究表明“第一代大學生”（父母沒有上過大學）在教育成就方面落后于其他學生。具體體現(xiàn)在：學習成績差、輟學率高等等。而“第一代大學生”的不斷擴招卻使得這一差距不斷拉大。文章說明，通過實施“一小時，零花費”項目可以縮小差距。接著，文章對此進行了具體闡述。該項目讓大學里不同背景的高、低年級學生一起談論如何適應大學生活，尋找資源和尋求幫助等問題。而為了不讓“第一代大學生”感到受侮辱，這一項目是旨在針對所有學生的。該項目在提高學生成績、幫助尋找資源方面也取得了一定的效果。文章最后還指出，學校未表明社會階層對教育的影響，也使得學生不能明白努力學習、其他學生如何看待他們能幫助其提高成績的意義。

    點評：文章的題目難度不大，主要還是以細節(jié)題為主，按照做題順序原則，各題定位到相應文章段落也比較容易判斷選項正誤。這篇文章是有點心理學意思的簡化版學術論文。難度遠低于2011、2012、2013和2014年出的第二篇文章。

Text 3

　　Even in traditional offices, “the lingua franca of corporate America has gotten much more emotional and much more right-brained than it was 20 years ago,” said Harvard Business School professor Nancy Koehn. She started spinning off examples. “If you and I parachuted back to Fortune 500 companies in 1990, we would see much less frequent use of terms like journey, mission, passion. There were goals, there were strategies, there were objectives, but we didn’t talk about energy; we didn’t talk about passion.”

　　Koehn pointed out that this new era of corporate vocabulary is very “team”-oriented—and not by coincidence. “Let’s not forget sports—in male-dominated corporate America, it’s still a big deal. It’s not explicitly conscious; it’s the idea that I’m a coach, and you’re my team, and we’re in this together. There are lots and lots of CEOs in very different companies, but most think of themselves as coaches and this is their team and they want to win.”

　　These terms are also intended to infuse work with meaning—and, as Khurana points out, increase allegiance to the firm. “You have the importation of terminology that historically used to be associated with non-profit organizations and religious organizations: Terms like vision, values, passion, and purpose,” said Khurana.

　　This new focus on personal fulfillment can help keep employees motivated amid increasingly loud debates over work-life balance. The “mommy wars” of the 1990s are still going on today, prompting arguments about why women still can’t have it all and books like Sheryl Sandberg’s Lean In, whose title has become a buzzword in its own right. Terms like unplug, offline, life-hack, bandwidth, and capacity are all about setting boundaries between the office and the home. But if your work is your “passion,” you’ll be more likely to devote yourself to it, even if that means going home for dinner and then working long after the kids are in bed.

But this seems to be the irony of office speak: Everyone makes fun of it, but managers love it, companies depend on it, and regular people willingly absorb it. As Nunberg said, “You can get people to think it’s nonsense at the same time that you buy into it.” In a workplace that’s fundamentally indifferent to your life and its meaning, office speak can help you figure out how you relate to your work—and how your work defines who you are.

31. According to Nancy Koehn ,office languages become_____.

　　[A] more emotional

　　[B] more objective

　　[C] less energetic

　　[D] less strategic

32.”Team”-oriented corporate vocabulary is closely related to_____.

　　[A] historical incidents

　　[B] gender difference

　　[C] sports culture

　　[D] athletic executives

33.Khurana believes that the importation of terminology aims to_____.

　　[A] revive historical terms

　　[B] promote company image

　　[C] foster corporate cooperation

　　[D] strengthen employee loyalty

34.It can be inferred that Lean In_____.

　　[A]voices for working women

　　[B] appeals to passionate workaholics

　　[C] triggers debates among mommies

　　[D] praises motivated employees

35.Which of the following statements is true about office speak?

　　[A]Managers admire it but avoid it.

　　[B] Linguists believe it to be nonsense.

　　[C]Companies find it to be fundamental.

[D] Regular people mock it but accept it.

 

30.  【答案】[A] more emotional

　  【解析】細節(jié)題。答案原文定位：Even in traditional offices, "the lingua franca of corporate America has gotten much more emotional and much more right-brained than it was 20 years ago,"這種題型英語二中很常見，且題難度較小，答案與原文more emotional一樣。因此選擇A選項。

31. 【答案】[C] sports culture

　  【解析】細節(jié)題。答案在原文定位第二段，整個第二段中細節(jié)共同指向了運動文化這個選項。歷史事件和性別差異這兩個選項屬于無中生有，運動管理這個選項屬于點點對應，不能概括整段。因此答案選C選項。

32. 【答案】[D] strengthen employee loyalty

　  【解析】細節(jié)題。答案在原文定位：These terms are also intended to infuse work with meaning—and, as Khurana points out, increase allegiance to the firm.同義詞替換可知答案為D選項。

33. 【答案】[A] voices for working women

　  【解析】推斷題。答案原文定位第四段，得知因為那時女性可能無法在工作和生活間保持平衡?，F(xiàn)在為什么還繼續(xù)，說明現(xiàn)在保持平衡也很難，而這本書的就是一個絕佳的例子。所以我們推出：這本書是為工作的女性發(fā)聲的。屬于難度系數(shù)略高的題型。　

34. 【答案】[D] Regular people mock it but accept it

　  【解析】推斷題。答案原文定位在最后一段，該題略有爭議性，可以用排除法解答。

 

   文章大意： 本文出自The Atlantic的一篇專欄文章，略有刪減。原文講述的是辦公室用語對員工的影響。第一段講解辦公室語言的變化，相比20年前，現(xiàn)在的用語更感性。第二段講解這一趨勢的源頭——體育運動。第三段講述這一趨勢導致的結果，即員工更加忠誠。第四段講述的是生活工作平衡的矛盾。最后一段講訴人們對這些辦公司語言的反應和接受度。

    點評：考察的五道題都需要一定程度的推斷和詞義衍生理解，難度并不算大，可以直接回到原文，細節(jié)推斷解答、如何去定位和精準找出推斷答案，我校己詳細在課堂講解。

Text 4

　　Many people talked of the 288,000 new jobs the Labor Department reported for June, along with the drop in the unemployment rate to 6.1percent, as good news. And they were right. For now it appears the economy is creating jobs at a decent pace. We still have a long way to go to get back to full employment, but at least we are now finally moving forward at a faster pace.

　　However, there is another important part of the jobs picture that was largely overlooked. There was a big jump in the number of people who report voluntarily working part-time. This figure is now 830,000 (4.4 percent) above its year ago level.

　　Before explaining the connection to the Obamacare, it is worth making an important distinction. Many people who work part-time work because this is all they can get. An increase in involuntary part-time work is evidence of weakness in the labor market and it means that many people will be having a very hard time making ends meet.

　　There was an increase in involuntary part-time in June, but the general direction has been down. Involuntary part-time employment is still far higher than before the recession, but it is down by 640,000(7.9percent) from is its year level.

　　We know the difference between voluntary and involuntary part-time employment because people tell us. The survey used by the Labor Department asks people if they worked less than 35 hours in the reference week. If the answer is “yes,” they are classified as working part-time. The survey then asks whether they worked less than 35 hours in that week because they wanted to work less than full time or because they had no choice. They are only classified as voluntary part-time workers if they tell the survey taker they chose to work less than 35 hours a week.

　　The issue of voluntary part-time relates to Obamacare because one of the main purpose was to allow people to get insurance outside of employment. For many people, especially those with serious health conditions or family members with serious health conditions, before Obamacare the only way to get insurance was through a job that provided health insurance.

However, Obamacare has allowed more than 12 million people to either get insurance through Medicaid or the exchanges. These are people who may previously have felt the need to get a full-time job that provided insurance in order to cover themselves and their families. With Obamacare there is no longer a link between employment and insurance.

36.Which part of the jobs picture was neglected?

　　[A] The prospect of a thriving job market.

　　[B] The increase of voluntary part-time jobs.

　　[C] The possibility of full employment.

　　[D] The acceleration of job creation.

37.Many people work part-time because they_____.

　　[A] prefer part-time jobs to full-time jobs.

　　[B] feel that is enough to make ends meet.

　　[C] cannot get their hands on full-time jobs.

　　[D] haven’t seen the weakness of the market.

38.Involuntary part-time employment in the US____.

　　[A] is harder to acquire than one year ago.

　　[B] shows a general tendency of decline.

　 【解析】主旨題。

 

點評： 本文出自Center for economic and policy research， 原題為：The Good News About Obamacare in the June Jobs Report。這是一篇關于美國就業(yè)問題的議論文，主要討論了美國當前整體就業(yè)形式較好，其中一個主要原因是： 從事兼職工作人數(shù)較之前有較大增長。導致兼職工作人數(shù)增長的原因為：一方面，勞動力市場疲軟使得美國人民難以找到長期的工作；另一方面，奧巴馬醫(yī)療改革保證了人們不管是否從事長期正式的工作，都可以得到醫(yī)療和收入保障。

    文章本身話題和語言難度不高，直接在原文進行信息定位即可排除錯誤選項，找到正確答案。本文還是延續(xù)出題者的風格，以細節(jié)題為主。如何去定位和精準找出推斷答案，我校己詳細在課堂講解。

Some Old Truths to Help You Overcome Tough Times

　 　Unfortunately, life is not a bed of roses, We are going though life facing sad experiences. Moreover, we are grieving various kinds of loss: a friendship, a romantic relationship or a house . Hard times may hold you down at what usually seems like the most inopportune time, but you should remember that they won’t last forever.

　　When our time of mourning is over, we press forward, stronger with a greater understanding and respect for life. Furthermore, these losses make us mature and eventually move us toward future opportunities for growth and happiness. I want to share these old truths I’ve learned along the way.

　　41.[D]Most of your fears are unreal

　 　Fear is both useful and harmful. This normal human reaction is used to protect us by signaling danger and preparing us to deal with it. Unfortunately, people create inner barriers with a help of exaggerating fears. My favorite actor Will Smith once said, "Fear is not real. It is a product of thoughts you create. Do not misunderstand me. Danger is very real. But fear is a choice. " I do completely agree the fears are just the product of our luxuriant imagination.

　　42.[E]Think about the present moment

　 　If you are surrounded by problems and cannot stop thinking about the past, try focus on the present moment. Many of us are weighed down by the past or anxious about the future. You may feel guilt over your past, but you are poisoning the present with the things and circumstances you cannot change. Value the present moment and remember how fortunate you are to be alive. Enjoy the beauty of the world around and keep the eyes open to see the possibilities before you. Happiness is not a point of future and not a moment from the past, but a mindset that can be designed into the present.

　　43.[G]There are many things to be grateful for

　 　Sometimes it is easy to feel bad because you are going through tough times. You can be easily caught up by life problems that you forget to pause and appreciate the things you have. Only strong people prefer to smile and value their life instead of crying and complaining about something.

　　44.[A]You are not alone

　 　No matter how isolated you might feel and how serious the situation is, you should always remember that you are not alone. Try to keep in mind that almost everyone respects and wants to help you if you are trying to make a good change in your life. Especially your dearest and nearest people. You may have a circle of friends who provide constant good humor, help and companionship. If you have no friends or relatives, try to participate in several online communities, full of people who are always willing to share advice and encouragement.

　　45.[C]Pave your own unique path

　 　Today many people find it difficult to trust their own opinion and seek balance by gaining objectivity from external sources. This way you devalue your opinion and show that you are incapable of managing your own life. When you are struggling to achieve something important you should believe in yourself and be sure that your decision is the best. You live in your skin, think your own thoughts, have your own values and make your own choices.

　　

點評：2015英語二Part B的考察題型為標題匹配，標題匹配題做起來還是非常輕松的，關鍵在于能否看懂每小段的大意，并抓住關鍵詞乃至選項所復現(xiàn)的原句。以41、44題為例，所選擇的小標題均復現(xiàn)了原文中的重點詞匯與句子。41題，答案為Most of your fears are unreal，原文中明確出現(xiàn)“Fear is not real.” 44題，答案為You are not alone，原文中出現(xiàn)“… you should always remember that you are not alone.” 其余幾題，雖然并沒有如此明確的原句復現(xiàn)，但是通過快速掃讀，也能夠通過個別關鍵詞輕松做出答案，如42題對應的段落中出現(xiàn)了present，45題對應的段落中反復出現(xiàn)you和your?？傮w來說，只要是參加過百源欣才培訓的考生做這篇小標題還是非常容易的，相信不少同學都能夠輕松拿滿分。

 

Section III Translation

46. Directions:

Translate the following text into Chinese. Write your translation on the ANSWER SHEET. (15 points)

　　Think about driving a route that’s very familiar. It could be your commute to work, a trip into town or the way home. Whichever it is, you know every twist step turn like the back of your hand. On these steps of trips it’s easy to lose concentration is that you perceive that the trip has taken less time than it actually has.

　　This is the well-travelled road effect. People tend to underestimate the time it takes to travel a familiar route.

The effect is caused by the way we allocate our attention. When we travel down a well-known route, because we don’t have to concentrate much, time seems to flow more quickly. And afterward, when we come to think back on it, we can’t remember the journey well because we didn’t pay much attention to it. So we assume it was shorter.

 

　　設想一下，你正開車行駛在一條非常熟悉的路線上?？梢允悄忝刻焐舷掳?、去城里、或者回家的路。不管是什么路，你對每一個拐每一個彎都了如指掌，非常熟悉。在這樣的路途中，我們?nèi)菀自陂_車的時候心不在焉，對途中的景色也幾乎是全然不顧。結果是你覺得路途上所花的時間比實際要少。

　　這就是所謂的“熟悉路線效應”：人們往往會低估在熟悉的線路上所花費的時間。

這種效應是由于我們注意力分配的方式不同引起的。如果我們行駛在熟悉的路線上，因為不需要太集中精力，會感覺時間流逝較快。以后，一旦回想這段路程，因為注意力沒有集中在此，我們就會全然忘記。這樣，我們就會覺得路程更短。

 

點評：文章來自一個關于心理學方面的網(wǎng)站。原文標題是：The Well-Travelled Road Effect: Why Familiar Routes Fly By  2015年的翻譯難度與去年難度相當。今年英語二的翻譯在難度上有所上升。文章中雖然沒有出現(xiàn)過多的生詞，但整體要從語義上完整通順地翻譯出來，這就需要考生結合上下文，采用增詞，意譯的方式來處理。同時也給備考2016的同學以警醒：在掌握翻譯技巧的同時，一定要夯實基礎，平時多加練習，才能應對自如。在我校重點開設翻譯題型課，以長難句解析為主，讓考生輕松翻譯得到高分。

 

總結：在管理類聯(lián)考中，英語二獨占一科，有“得英語二，得研究生”這說法！英語二設有單獨分數(shù)線要求，這樣就要求考生對英語的重視，我校正是針對這國家考試政策，遼寧省唯一北京師資全程英語面授，從聯(lián)考必考詞匯講起，語法，長難句分析再根據(jù)聯(lián)考各式題型，包括英語兩篇作文，應試教育，循循漸進，精準講解各題型和解題技巧，押中歷年英語作文，讓廣大考生輕松通過聯(lián)考！選擇百源欣才，就是選擇成功！
