考研英语二真题答案（精选8篇）
For years, studies have found that first-generation college students-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 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 dox in that recruiting first-generation students, but then watching many of them fail, means that higher education has continued to reproduce and widen, rather than close achievement gap based on social class, according to the depressing beginning of a paper forthcoming in the journal Psychological Sciense.
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 findins are based on a study involving 147 students(who completed the project)at an unnamed private unive rsity.First generation was defined as not having a parent with a fou r-year college degree Most of the first-generation students(59.1 percent) were recipients of Pell Grants，a federal g rant for undergraduates with financial need，while this was true only for 8.6 percent of the students wit at least one parent with a four-year degree
Their thesis-that a relatively modest inte rvention could have a big impact-was based on the view that first-gene ration 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 resea rch by several authors to show that this is the gap that must be na rrowed to close the achievement gap.
Many first-gene ration studentsstruggle to navigate the middle-class culture of higher education，learn therules of the game，and take advantage of college resou rces, they write And this becomes more of a problem when collages dont talk about the class advantage and disadvantages of different groups of students Because US colleges and universities seldom acknowledge how social class can affect students educational expe rience，many first-gene ration students lack sight about why they a re struggling and do not unde rstand how students like them can improve
26. Recruiting more first-generation students has
[A]reduced their d ropout rates
[B]narrowed the achievement gao
[C] missed its original pu rpose
[D]depressed college students
27 The author of the research article are optimistic because
[A]the problem is solvable
[B]their approach is costless
[q the recruiting rate has increased
[D]their finding appeal to students
28 The study suggests that most first-gene ration students
[A]study at private universities
[B]are from single-pa rent families
[q are in need of financial support
[D]have failed their collage
29. The author of the paper believe that first-generation students
[A]a re actually indifferent to the achievement gap
[B]can have a potential influence on othe r students
[C] may lack opportunities to apply for resea rch projects
[D]are inexperienced in handling their issues at college
30.We mayinfer from the last graph that
[A]universities often r~ect the culture of the middle-class
[B]students are usually to blame for their lack of resources
[C]social class g reatly helps en rich educational experiences
[D]colleges are partly responsible for the problem in question
答案：
26.C missed its original purpose
27.A the problem is solvable
28.C are in need of financial support
29.D are inexperienced in handling issues at college
30.D colleges are partly responsible for the problem in question

Even in traditional offices，the lingua franca of corporate America has gottenmuch more emotional and much more right-brained than it was 20 years ago， said Ha rva rd Business School professor Nancy Koehn She sta rted spinning off examples.If you and I pa rachuted 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 tives，but we didnt talk about energy;we didnt talk about passion.
Koehn pointed out that this new era of corporate vocabula ry is very team-oriented-and not by coincidence.Lets not forget sDorts-in male-dominated corporate America，its still a big deal. Its not explicitly conscious;its the idea that Im a coach，and youre my team，and were in this togethec. 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 a re also intended to infuse work with meaning-and，as Khu rana 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，saidKhurana
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 a re still going on today, prompting arguments about whywomen still canthave it all and books like Sheryl Sandbergs Lean In，whose title has become abuzzword in its own right. Terms like unplug，offline，life-hack，bandwidth，andcapacity are all about setting boundaries between the office and the home But ifyour work is your passion, youII be more likely to devote yourself to it，even ifthat 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，butmanage rs love it，companies depend on it，and regular people willingly absorb itAs Nunberg said，You can get people to think its nonsense at the same timethat you buy into it. In a workplace thats fundamentally indiffe rent to your lifeand its meaning office speak can help you figu re out how you relate to yourwork-and how your work defines who you are
31. According to Nancy Koehn, office language has become
[A]more e motional
[B]more tive
[C]less energetic
[D]less energetic
[E]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 dcbates 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
答案：
31.A more emotional
32.C sports culture
33.D strengthen employee loyalty
34.A voices for working women
一、重视真题训练
高考真题与一般的模拟试题相比, 更具有科学性、规范性和严密性。同时高考出题具有回归性, 即高考命题对语法知识、词汇、短语和句型的考查常常涉及历届高考题考过的知识点。所以通过做近几年的高考题, 就可以了解到高考的重点和热点。即了解高考“考什么”, 从而有针对性地进行复习。
如近几年高考题中对before引导的时间状语从句的考查:
(2007, 江西) He was told that it would be at least three monthshe could recover and return to work.
A.when B.before C.since D.that (A)
(2008, 北京) I’m sorry you’ve been waiting so long, bu it’ll still be some timeBrian gets back.
A.before B.since C.tillD.after (A)
从这里我们可以看出, 这几年来, 高考对“before”引导的时间状语从句的考查较多。据此, 我们就可以把这个句型列为高考对语言知识考查的重点和热点, 并引导学生对其用法进行归纳、总结:
1. It was/takes long/some time/five years before...过了很久/一段时间/五年才……
2. lt wasn’t/didn’t take long before...不久就……
3. It won’t be/take long before...不久就会……
4. It will be long/some time/five years before...要过很久/一段时间/五年才……
二、关注考点的设置
俗话说:知己知彼, 百战不殆。了解了高考“考什么”, 还要了解“怎样考”。笔者通过对历届高考题的研究, 发现对同一个知识点的考查, 考点落在不同的位置。如对句型“祈使句+or/and+陈述句”的考查, 考点的设置主要有以下三种形式:
1. 考点落在连接词上
(2005, 辽宁) Follow your doctor’s advice, your cough will get worse.
A.orB.andC.asD.which (A)
2. 考点落在陈述句的时态上
(2004, 湖南) Turn on the television or open a magazine and you＿＿advertisements showing happy families.
A.will often seeB.often see
C.are often seeingD.have often seen (A)
3. 考点落在祈使句的动词原形上
(2004, 湖北) ＿＿straight on and you will see a church.You won’t miss it.
A.Go B.Going C.If you go D.When going (A)
明白了高考对此句型的考查所在, 复习时需注意三点: (1) 区分连接词or和and的用法:陈述句部分表达肯定意思时用and, 陈述句部分表达否定意思时用or。 (2) 该句型中的陈述句时态用一般将来时。 (3) 该句型前半句为以动词原形开头的祈使句。
又如对介词with的复合结构:“with+宾语/宾补”的考查, 考点主要集中在“宾补”的位置。
(2007, 安徽) John received an invitation to dinner, and with his work＿＿, he gladly accepted it.
A.finishedB.finishing
C.having finishedD.was finished (A)
在复习过程中指导学生关注考点“宾补”的三种形式:不定式、现在分词、过去分词。弄清宾补后接不定式、现在分词、过去分词之间的区别:当宾补表示动作正在发生时要用V-ing;当宾补表示动作已经发生并与宾补有被动意义时要用过去分词;当宾补表示动作将来会发生时, 要用动词不定式。
此外, 高考对同一个知识点考查的命题呈现出多样性, 即相同的知识点在不同的题型中考查。主要出现在单项选择、完形填空和短文改错这三种题型中。
三、关注考点考查的广度与深度
近年来高考试卷中经常出现一些词、词组的用法和意义超出中学课本的要求的现象。对语言知识的考查不仅仅局限于课本上该词或词组原有的、常用的意思, 而且对在词汇表中未出现过的意义及用法进行了考查。即所谓的熟词新义。这类题选用一些考生平时很熟悉的词语, 但考查的却是其不为考生所熟悉的含义和用法。
高考对这些知识点的考查既源于课本又超越了课本, 所以在平时的备考复习中要关注那些平时学习过, 但在新的语境中产生不同意思的词汇。注意全面把握所学词汇的含义和用法, 而不仅仅局限于课本原有的意思。对一些重点词汇的含义适当进行扩展和延伸, 尤其要多关注兼类词、派生词、一词多义、“旧词新义”。
四、注重构建知识网络
动词及其短语的辨析及灵活运用一直是高考考查的重点。
(2006, 浙江) We’re trying to ring you back, Bryan, but we think we＿＿your number incorrectly.
A.looked outB.took down
C.worked outD.brought about (B)
此处考查短语take down“记下, 写下”之意。中学课本中含有“写下, 记下, 抄下”意义的短语就有以下几个:take down, write down, put down, set down, get down, 但考生记得最牢的却是初中所学的“write down”。而对于take down的记忆可能是“取下, 把……拆下来”。
因此, 复习时要注重知识点之间的串联, 按照知识的内在联系, 将其要点进行分类整理, 使之条理化、系统化和规律化, 包括词汇、句型、语法、交际功能等。将孤立的知识有机地结合起来, 使已学知识网络化, 形成一个完整的知识体系, 有效地突破重点、难点, 使复习有的放矢。
五、重视针对考点的题型训练
近几年考查的语言知识有交叉现象。
(2007, 江苏) My parents have always made me＿＿about myself, even when I was twelve.
A.feeling wellB.feeling good
C.feel wellD.feel good (D)
此题综合考查了复合宾语及感官动词的用法。
综上所述, 除了引导学生进行针对考点的备考外, 还需进行试题形式的训练, 分析试题命制者的出题思路, 提高解题能力。

命题思路解析
这篇小作文考查的是告示类应用文。2009年8月出版的“考研英语大纲解析”中将小作文明确分为书信类应用文和告示类应用文两大题型,并详细介绍了告示的写作方法,具体如下:
标题应位于首行正中央;日期应写在标题右下方,与标题之间不应空行;正文写1～3段,5～7句即可;落款应写在中间偏后位置,与正文之间不需空行。
由于很多考生将复习的重点放在书信与摘要两种题型上,因而忽视了告示类应用文写作的练习。由此提醒大家,Part A的写作题目对书信类应用文、告示类应用文和摘要三大题型的考查可能性各占三分之一,考生在复习时应“一视同仁”。
值得注意的是,近两年考研小作文的考题均来源于近年的四级写作真题。2009年1月考研英语小作文的题目来源于2008年12月四级写作真题“Limiting the Use of Disposable Plastic Bags”。而此次考试的小作文题目来源于2006年6月的四级写作真题,题目如下:
Directions:
For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a poster recruiting volunteers. You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below.
① 校学生会将组织一次暑假志愿者活动,现招募志愿者;
② 本次志愿者活动的目的、内容、安排等;
③ 报名条件及联系方式。
由此笔者提醒考生在备考过程中,除重视历年的考研写作真题外,还要关注近年来的英语四级、六级以及专业四级的写作真题。这些考试考查的重点与考研英语写作一样,也是大学校园生活与当今社会热点话题,考生可以相互借鉴,积累相关表达,背诵重要范文。

文字说明:佛、解构、人本、功夫、毕、儒、礼、后现代、老舍、莎士比亚、爱因斯坦、道、仁、天鹅湖、启蒙、京剧等。
命题思路解析
此次大作文的考查形式为图画作文,这已是考研英语写作第12次考查图画作文,相信考生应该不会陌生。图中的“火锅”里包含了诸多文化元素,可大致分为三类:一是古今中外科技与文学方面的文化名人,包括毕昇、老舍、莎士比亚和爱因斯坦;二是古今中外的文化术语,涵盖儒、佛、道、仁、礼、启蒙、人本、后现代和解构;三是中外文化艺术,包括京剧、功夫和天鹅湖。文字说明显示:文化“火锅”,既美味又营养。显而易见,本文的主题是一种正面观点:多元文化融合不但使世界丰富多彩,而且有益于社会进步。
值得关注的是,在2002～2010这九年期间,有四年的考研写作真题都是以“文化”为话题。2002与2010年分别考查的是文化交流与文化融合,2006与2009年考查的是偶像崇拜与上网成瘾这两大文化现象。这表明了“文化”这一话题为命题组重点关注的话题,因此考生在备考时应高度重视这一方向,千万不要以为同样的考题不会重复出现。
词汇解析
2010年的“考研英语大纲”有一个显著变化,即要求加大对词汇的考查难度,这就要求考生不仅需要掌握大纲词汇的中文含义,还需掌握大纲附录中提到的众多前缀、后缀及其他内容。此篇作文就响应了“考研英语大纲”的这一要求,图画中出现的众多文化术语难倒了不少考生。
其实,图画中的绝大多数词汇均不超纲。图中“火锅”一词可译为hot pot、chaffy dish或chafing dish;文化术语“道”“毕昇”“老舍”“功夫”可用汉语拼音直译为Dao (或Tao、Daoism、Taoism)、Bi Sheng、Lao She、kung fu;而“莎士比亚”“爱因斯坦”均为考生需要掌握的基本英美文化常识,应为Shakespeare和Einstein。
考研英语大纲词汇中有construction一词,意为“构造”,大纲附录中提到了前缀de-意为“解”,所以图画中的“解构”一词应为deconstruction;“人本”即为大纲词汇human,或加上大纲附录中的后缀-ism,形成humanism (人本主义);“礼”即大纲词汇ritual;“后现代”应为大纲词汇modern加前缀post-,形成postmodern或postmodernism (后现代主义);“天鹅湖”为两个大纲词汇Swan Lake;“启蒙”即大纲词汇enlighten加后缀-ment;“京剧”译为Peking Opera。
上述表达均非超纲词汇,真正考到的超纲词汇只有“儒”“仁”“佛”三个词,可分别译为Confucianism、benevolence和Buddha (或Buddhism)。作文的主题为“文化融合”,可译为cultural integration或cultural blending。而“多元文化”可译为multi-culture、mosaic culture或pluralistic culture,这些词汇均为考研大纲词汇或大纲附录的前后缀,考生只要认真复习大纲词汇,掌握大纲附录中前后缀的用法,就不会被这些词汇难倒。
参考范文
As is symbolically illustrated in the portrayal, there is a boiling hot pot containing various ingredients of multi-cultures. These pluralistic cultures can be categorized as cultural celebrities home and abroad as Bi Sheng, Lao She, Shakespeare, and Einstein, philosophical concepts as Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, benevolence, ritual, humanism, enlightenment, post-modernism, and deconstruction, as well as performing arts as Peking Opera, kung fu, and Swan Lake. We are informed that the cultural “hot pot” is both delicious and nutritious.
The cartoonist implies that cultural blending should be encouraged and maintained. On the one hand, mosaic cultures are part of the universal heritage of humanity and are powerful means of bringing together diverse peoples and social groups. Consequently, cultural integration has become indispensable as a way of promoting further culture development and maintenance. On the other hand, for China, as for any other rapidly developing countries, there is a danger that age-old customs and traditions may become lost in the shadows of modernization. If kung fu, Peking Opera, or Swan Lake ballet ever perished from the earth, it would be a tragedy of immeasurable proportions.
In my view, multi-cultures should be kept alive, and are extremely vital in ensuring a community’s future development and prosperity. As a consequence of successful commercialization efforts, unwavering government support, and growing interests overseas, the future of cultural blending looks brighter and more secure than ever before.
范文详解
本文共三段、十句话、227个词。首段为图画描述段,共三句话,为“总—分—总”结构。首句为总体描述;第二句挖掘图画细节,将图中的文化名词分为三类,即文化名人、文化术语与文化艺术;第三句提出了文章的主题。此段使用了symbolically、illustrate、portrayal、boiling hot pot、philosophical concept、performing arts、delicious、nutritious等精彩词汇。在表达“多元文化”这一概念时,使用了不同的表达方式multi-culture和pluralistic culture,避免了语言的重复表达。
第二段是意义阐释段,共五句话,为“总—分”结构。首句是主题句,点出图画的象征寓意,也是全文的中心思想;第二、三句正面论证了这一主题;第四、五两句为反面论证。本段中使用了on the one hand、consequently、on the other hand三大关联词,使得段落结构清晰,逻辑严谨。同时,本段中出现了universal heritage、powerful means、promote further cultural development and maintenance、age-old customs and traditions、in the shadows of modernization和immeasurable proportions等精彩表达。在表达“文化融合”这一含义时,此段先后使用了cultural blending、mosaic cultures和cultural integration进行同义替换。
第三段是归纳结论段,共两句话,为“总—分”结构。首句为全文结论句,呼应图画的象征寓意;第二句为结束句,展望了美好未来,运用了比较级结构、平行排比结构以及介词短语作状语和后置定语的用法。此段先后使用了be kept alive、extremely vital、as a consequence、successful commercialization efforts、unwavering government support、growing interests overseas、brighter and more secure等精彩语言。
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 ti 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
分析：众所周知，英语二与英语一在翻译题上是有不小的差距的，首先从题型上就与英语一不同，英语二翻译部分是两段话的翻译，具有连贯性，这样可明显降低翻译难度，而英语一是五句话的翻译，这无疑需要考生联系上下文才能准确翻译出句中的代词、新词等。
2014年考研英语二翻译与往年选材新的特点不同，今年的翻译题选自09年三月份的时代杂志，但依旧保持往年的难度，内容贴近生活，易于理解。文章中并没有特别难理解的句子出现，有一些常见的从句和复合句，考生只要平时在做《考研真相》和《考研圣经》的过程中，多注意书中长难句分析部分，这部分摘录出真题中长句、难句进行框架分析，考生可以很直观的理解并学习其中分析句子的能力和翻译要领，长此以往，英语二的翻译题部分就基本可以拿到不错的成绩。
2014考研英语二真题完型填空文章出处
原文出处：时代杂志
原文标题：A Primer for Pessimists
刊登时间：March,
原文节选：Most people would define optimism as being eternally hopeful, endlessly happy, with a glass that’s perpetually half full. But that’s exactly the kind of false cheerfulness that positive psychologists wouldn’t recommend. “Healthy optimism means being in touch with reality,” says Tal Ben-Shahar, a Harvard professor who taught the university’s most popular course, Positive Psychology, from to . “It certainly doesn’t mean thinking everything is great and wonderful.”
Ben-Shahar, who is the author of Happier and The Pursuit of Perfect, describes realistic optimists an “optimalists”―not those who believe everything happens for the best, but those who make the best of things that happen.
In his own life, Ben-Shahar uses three optimalist exercises, which he calls PRP. When he feels down―say, after giving a bad lecture―he grants himself permission (P) to be human. He reminds himself that not every lecture can be a Nobel winner; some will be less effective than others. Next is reconstruction (R). He analyzes the weak lecture, learning lessons for the future about what works and what doesn’t. Finally, there’s perspective (P), which involves acknowledging that in the grand scheme of life, one lecture really doesn’t matter.
People should listen to music for no more than one hour a day to protect their hearing, the World Health Organization (WHO) suggests.
It says 1.1 billion teenagers and young adults are at risk of permanently damaging their hearing by listening to “too much, too loudly”.
It said audio devices(音频设备), concerts and bars were causing a “serious threat”.
WHO figures show 43 million people aged 12-35 have hearing loss and the number is increasing. In that age group, the WHO said, half of the people in rich and middle-income countries were exposed to unsafe sound levels from personal audio devices. Meanwhile 40% were exposed to damaging levels of sound from clubs and bars.
The proportion of US teenagers with hearing loss went from 3.5% in 1994 to 5.3% in .
“What we’re trying to do is raise awareness of the problem that is not talked about enough, but has the potential to do a lot of damage that can be easily prevented,” said Dr Etienne Krug, the WHO’s director for injury prevention.
The full report argued: “While it is important to keep the volume down, limiting the use of personal audio devices to less than one hour a day would do much to reduce noise exposure.”
Dr Krug said: “That’s a rough recommendation, it is not by the minute, to give an idea to those spending 10 hours a day listening to an mp3-player. But even an hour can be too much if the volume(音量)is too loud.”
44. What might be the main cause of hearing loss according to the passage?
A. Listening to music frequently.
B. Listening to music at concerts.
C. Listening to too much and too loud music.
D. Listening to music from poor audio devices.
45. How many people aged 12-35 were most likely to suffer from hearing loss according to WHO?
A. 3.5%. B. 5.3%. C. 40%. D. 50 %.
46. Which of the following ideas would Dr Etienne Krug agree with?
A. Safe noise exposure is based on the limitation to both volume and time.
B. One hour of exposure to loud music a day will do no damage to hearing.
C. With proper volume, one can listen to an mp3-player for 10 hours a day.
D. It will be OK to be exposed to loud noise from personal audio devices.
47. What might be the best title for the passage?
A. Away from music
B. How to enjoy music
C. Risk of hearing loss
D. Warning of hearing damage

Whether you prefer burning the midnight oil or going to bed early so you can get up at the break of dawn depends on your genes , according to experts.
I jump out of bed each morning, eager to start an active day. But I can hear my neighbour’s alarm clock ringing non-stop every morning and I doubt he gets to work on time.
A lot of noise comes from his flat in the evening. He’s happy to stay up watching TV till after midnight, while I go to bed early and try to sleep.
Well, it might not be his fault after all. I’m called ‘a lark (百灵鸟)’ and my neighbour ‘an owl (猫头鹰)’.
We all have inside ‘clocks’ in the brain to control all kinds of bodily functions and it is reset every day by light. These inside clocks run to a different schedule in ‘larks’ and ‘owls’. If you have a fast clock, you like to do things early, and if you have a slow clock, you like to do things late.
Because we live in a 24/7 world, scientists believe it’s important to understand a person’s ‘chronotype’ – the time of the day when they function the best. It could help us lead a healthier life.
A US professor has studied sleeping patterns and thinks work times should be changed and made more individual to fit in with our chronotypes.
And he has advice for those who can’t choose their working hours: “If that’s not possible, we should be more careful about light exposure”, says the professor. “You should try to go to work not in a covered vehicle but on a bike. The minute the sun sets we should use things that have no blue light, like computer screens and other electronic devices.”
52. How is the passage mainly developed?
A. By presenting and solving problems.
B. By explaining the cause-effect relationship.
C. By giving examples and drawing a conclusion.
D. By analyzing differences and providing advice.
53. We can learn from the passage that the author’s neighbour ______.
A. almost always gets to work on time
B. has to work deep into the night every day
C. is passive during the day but energetic at night
D. is easily woken up by his alarm clock in the morning
54. The underlined part “24/7” in Paragraph 6 most probably means “______”.
A. stressful B. digital C. confusing D. changing
55. Things with blue light are not recommended after sunset because blue light ______.
A. will make you nervous B. may cause sleep problems

Hello, listeners.Welcome to Newton Hospital Radio.Before our music program at four, I’m going to talk about some of our hospital rules again.The hospital can hold 800 patients.There’re 8 beds in each ward.The visiting hours are in the afternoon from2:30 to 3:30 and in the evening from 7:00 to 8:00.But remember only two people can see you at the same time.The other rules are about our hours.We start quite early—you might not be used to that.We wake you up at 6:00.You can see the no smoking sign—we don’t allow smoking in the wards.I’m sure you understand why.However, if you do need to smoke, there are some smoking rooms where it is allowed.

Part A：传统阅读
Part A部分主要包括四篇传统阅读文章，笔者将从文章来源、解题原则和题型分析三个方面对这一部分进行讲解和评析。
文章来源
纵观历年考研英语传统阅读部分的真题，考生可以发现，这些阅读篇章通常来源于英美报刊的网站，例如《经济学人》(The Economist)、《新闻周刊》(Newsweek)、《时代周刊》(Time)以及《美国新闻与世界报道》(US News and World Report)等。所选的这些文章一般是近几年发表的，选题多是考生熟悉的人文科学、社会科学等，并不回避社会热点。
在本次考试中，Text 1选自《时代周刊》2011年4月的一篇文章，原文题目为“Herd Mentality”，主要谈论的是从众心理，属于社会生活类文章。Text 2选自Boston.com网站2011年4月的一篇文章，原文题目为“Vermont Yankee Plant’s Owner Must Honor Its Own Promises”，主要谈论的是美国某能源公司违背承诺的事，属于商业经济类文章。Text 3选自《科学家》(The Scientist) 2011年2月的一篇文章，原文题目为“The Evolution of Credibility”，全文围绕科学发现的可信性的证实过程这一话题展开论述，属于科普类文章。Text 4选自《经济学人》2011年3月的一篇文章，原文题目为“Enemies of Progress”，主要讲述了工会阻碍公共部门改革的问题，属于社会生活类文章。
在备考过程中，考生可以从著名的英文报刊网站上选择一些与考试中出现的篇幅相仿(400～500词左右)、话题类似的文章进行阅读练习，提前熟悉文章的语言风格、行文难度、思维逻辑和论述方法，这样在考试时就不会感觉陌生了。
解题原则
在本次的传统阅读部分，考生可以按照以往的解题思路答题：运用关键词定位原则和同义替换原则。下面我们逐一解析。
解题前——关键词定位原则
在解答传统阅读题目时，很多考生喜欢先细读文章，再去看题目，认为只有这样答题时才觉得心里有底。但由于个别词句和段落较难理解，运用这种方法的考生往往会迷失在阅读篇章的过程中，最后的结果是没有抓住文章中的重点信息，答题正确率也不高。在答题前，笔者建议考生先看题目，根据题目中的关键词回原文定位答案区域，即运用关键词定位原则。出题者在设置题干时通常会使用一些关键词，这些词是考生回原文寻找正确答案的线索，可以帮助考生找到答案出处。关键词通常包括明显的段落提示词、专有名词、数字、核心动词、时间等。考生可以利用关键词迅速回原文定位答案区域。例如，此次考试中，Text 2讲述的是新英格兰一家公司购买了核电站后，不遵守核能源的一些相关规定而引发的争议。考生在解答与文章对应的第26题至第30题时，就可以利用reneging on (Line 3, Para.1)、the 2002 agreement、Paragraph 4、the Vermont case、the last paragraph等题干关键词依次而下地将答案信息定位至原文第一、三、四、五和最后一段中。明确了每道题的答案区域之后，考生在解题时就不会再受到其他无关信息的干扰，可以通过仔细阅读答案所在的段落或区域，把原文内容与选项逐一对比，进行解题。
解题时——同义替换原则
考生在解题过程中要注意，出题者在设置正确选项时都是以原文内容为基础的，有的是选项直接用原文词句，有的是对原文句式进行了改写，但更多的是运用改写的方法对原文进行了同义替换，以增加试题的难度。因此，考生解题时首先要把握住原文句子的基本含义，然后在四个选项中寻找与原文内容一致的信息。下面我们以本次考试Text 3中的第31题为例进行具体分析。
例：According to the first paragraph, the process of discovery is characterized by its _________.
[A] uncertainty and complexity
[B] misconception and deceptiveness
[C] logicality and objectivity
[D] systematicness and regularity
解析：根据题干关键词first paragraph和the process of discovery，考生很容易在文章第一段中找到该题的答案区域，即原文第一段第二句话：“But in the everyday practice of science, discovery frequently follows an ambiguous and complicated route.”通过把原文和四个选项对比，考生可以发现，原文中的ambiguous and complicated与选项A中的uncertainty and complexity属同义替换，所以选项A为正确答案。
但此处笔者要提醒考生注意一点，出题人在设置选项时也会设置一些看似但并非是同义替换的干扰选项，给考生的答题造成一定难度，比如加大或缩小原文所述概念的范围。这就需要考生仔细对照选项与原文，谨慎答题。
题型分析
按照考研英语大纲的要求，传统阅读部分主要考查以下六种题型：细节题、主旨题、猜词题、态度题、推断题、例证题。虽然考查的题型众多，但是笔者提醒考生在备考过程中要分清主次，练习时应以细节题为主，其他题型只要能掌握大致的答题方法即可，因为其他题型的出题量很少。此次考试也印证了传统阅读部分仍以考查细节题为主的出题思路。
细节题主要考查考生对文中事实信息的理解和掌握，是考试中出现次数最多的题型。细节题有难有易，对于较容易的题目，考生可以根据题干关键词回原文定位答案区域，然后根据原文相关句子直接得出正确答案；对于较难的题目，考生需在回原文定位答案区域后，再根据原文内容进行推断，得出正确答案。正确解答这类题的关键是考生要耐心和细心。笔者在此提醒各位考生，备考时一定要把单词和句法复习透彻，以防因不认识个别词或看不清句式结构而导致失分过多。在本次Text 1后所给的五道题目中，前四题均为细节题，只有最后一题为态度题。接下来，我们以Text 1的一道细节题为例来具体分析。
例：In the author’s view, Rosenberg’s book fails to ________.
[A] adequately probe social and biological factors
[B] effectively evade the flaws of the social cure
[C] illustrate the functions of state funding
[D] produce a long-lasting social effect
解析：根据题干关键词Rosenberg’s book，考生可将该题的答案区域定位至文章第四段第二句：“Join the Club is filled with too much irrelevant detail and not enough exploration of the social and biological factors that make peer pressure so powerful.”通过将原文和四个选项对比，考生可以发现，题干中的fails to是对原文not enough的同义替换，选项A中的probe是对原文exploration的同义替换，原文中的social and biological factors在选项A中原词复现。所以，本题正确答案为选项A。
Part B：新题型
考研英语阅读理解Part B部分主要考查考生对诸如连贯性、一致性等语段特征以及文章结构的理解。该部分题型有如下三种，每年出题者会从中选取一种进行考查。
①选择搭配题(7选5)：出题者给出一篇总长度为500～600词的文章，其中有五处空白，要求考生根据文章内容，从文后所给出的6～7段文字中选择恰当的五段填入原文空白处。
②段落排序题：出题者给出一篇长约500～600词的文章，文章各段落的原有顺序被打乱，要求考生根据文章内容和结构将所列段落(7～8段)重新排序。
③标题对应题：在一篇长度约500词的文章前或后有6～7个概括句或小标题，分别是对文章中某一部分的概括或阐述，要求考生根据文章内容从中选出最恰当的五个填入文章的空白处。
考研英语阅读理解继2005年开始考查新题型以来，选择搭配题(7选5)被考查的次数最多，段落排序题次之，标题对应题考查次数最少。2012年考研英语阅读理解新题型考的就是选择搭配题(7选5)。对于如何快速、正确地解答选择搭配题(7选5)，笔者建议考生可以遵循以下步骤。
第一步，快速浏览全文，把握文章大致内容。
考生在阅读新题型文章时，一定要注意文章首段和全文重点词句(一些专有名词、段首句或段尾句)，通过首段和重点词句判断文章的大意。如果考生在短时间内无法掌握文章所讲的要点，理不清文章的整体结构，不知道文章的主旨大意是什么，那最好不要再重新阅读，以免浪费时间，此时建议考生边做题边阅读原文。就2012年的新题型来说，出题者所选的文章内容通俗易懂，结构也比较清晰。文章选自《新科学家》(New Scientist) 2011年7月的一篇题为“How Computers Can Cure Cultural Diabetes”的文章，主要讲的是计算机改变人们被动消费的趋势，属于社会生活类文章。
第二步，利用句间关系解题。
在解题过程中，考生要重点阅读原文空白处附近的句子，并在原文圈定关键的线索词(包括名词、动词、连词、代词等)，最后从各选项中寻找在内容和语法结构上都与原文衔接合理的选项，确定答案。
第三步，回原文检查，验证所选答案。
得出答案后，考生需将答案放回到原文中，通读全文，检查所选答案是否与文章主题一致，从而验证所选答案是否正确。
下面我们以2012年新题型第41题为例来具体分析。
例：The second half of the 20th century saw a collection of geniuses, warriors, entrepreneurs and visionaries labor to create a fabulous machine that could function as a typewriter and printing press, studio and theatre, paintbrush and gallery, piano and radio, the mail as well as the mail carrier. 41
