1、2022河北考研英语考试模拟卷本卷共分为1大题50小题，作答时间为180分钟，总分100分，60分及格。一、单项选择题（共50题，每题2分。每题的备选项中，只有一个最符合题意） 1.Text 2The hotels are lull, Japanese tourists throng the designer stores of Waikiki, and the unemployment rate is a mere 3% of the workforce. So what could possibly knock Hawaii, the aloha or welcome state, off
2、 its wave The answer is that Hawaii’s 1.2m residents may one day get fed up with playing host to overseas visitors, 7m of them this year.Indeed, some residents are already fed up. KAHEA, an alliance of environmentalists and defenders of native Hawaiian culture, bemoans the pollution caused by
3、the cruise ships and the risk posed by the tourist hordes to creatures such as the dark-rumped petrel and the Oahu tree snail, or to plants like the Marsilea villosa fern. KAHEA has a point: the US FishWildlife Service currently lists some 317 species, including 273 plants, in the Hawaiian islands a
4、s threatened or endangered the highest number of any state in the nation. Even the state flower, the hibiscus brackenridgei, is on the danger list. The loss of species, says one government report, has been staggering. As for the impact of tourism On Hawaiian culture, a KAHEA spokeswoman wryly notes
5、the element of exploitation: Native Hawaiian culture is used as a selling point-come to this paradise where beautiful women are doing the hula on your dinner plate.So what else is new Hawaii’s environment and culture have been under threat ever since Captain Cook and his germ-carrying sailors
6、dropped anchor in 1778. Foreign imports have inevitably had an impact on species that evolved over the millennia in isolation. Moreover, with up to 25 non native species arriving each year, the impact will continue. But, as the US Geological Survey argues, the impact can add to biodiversity as well
7、as lessen it. The real challenge, therefore, is for Hawaii to find a balance between the costs and the benefits of development in general and tourism in particular.The Benefits are not to be sneezed at. Thestate’s unemployment rate has been below the national average for the past two and-a-hal
8、f years. Economists at the University of Hawaii reckon that Hawaiians’ real personal income rose by 2.8% last year, will rise by 2.7% this year and will continue through 2007 at 2.5%. According to the state’s strategic plan for the next decade, tourism should take much of the credit, acc
9、ounting directly and indirectly for some 22% of the state’s jobs by 2007, more than 17% of its economic output and around 26% of its tax revenues.The trouble is that the costs can be high, too. As one economist puts it, We have a Manhattan cost of living and Peoria wage rates. That translates
10、into a median house price today on the island of Oahu, home to three-quarters of the state’s population, of 500, 000, and a need for many workers to take on more than one job.It is implied in the last paragraph that（）Athere is a great deal of trouble living in Hawaii.Bliving expenditure in Haw
11、aii is as high as that in Manhattan.Cliving expenditure in Hawaii is incompatible with income.Dhouse price today in Hawaii is unbelievably high.2.Text 3Asked what he would, do to improve a government, the ancient Chinese sage Confucius answered that his first measure would be to correct language.

But the emotional power of images, sound bites, and slogans can exert deep and lasting influence on our opinions and behavior as consumers, voters, and citizens.The detailed c

The cumulative impression left in the minds of viewets is that violent crime is rampant and on the rise. As a result, many people live in fear and many more support the idea of ever-larger police forces, to
16、ugher laws, and bigger prisons without considering the actual crime rates in their community or across the nation.Dramatic incidents like the sniper attacks in the Washington, D. C. , area in the fall of 2002 receive so much media attention that, again, the actual numbers of people affected and the
17、likelihood of such attacks being repeated anywhere else become wildly exaggerated in people’s minds. In the media-fueled emotional state following such spectacular disasters, the effort and expense of turning schools info locked fortresses or putting cameras on every street to monitor suspicio
