1、考研外语考试题目及答案7一、Use of English1 Selection to participate in a top executive-education program is an important rung on the ladder to top corporate jobs. U. S. corporations (1) billions of dollars in this form, of management development一and use it to (2) and train fast-track managers. Yet one (3)of exec
2、utive education found that less than 5% of the managers (4) to these high-profile programs are women一and minorities are terribly (5) as well.The numbers are (6). In regular business (7)usually paid for by the participant, not an employer一there are plenty of women and minorities. Women, for example,
3、(8)for about 30% of MBA candidates. Yet in the (9)programs paid for by corporations that round out a manager s credentials at a (10)career point, usually at age 40 or 45, companies are making only a (11) investment in developing female and minority executives. A case (12)point: Only about 30% of the
4、 180 executives in Stanfords recent (13)management program were women.on a loose basis.C.they elaborate the proposal that children in failing schools get extra funding if they transfer.D.they show real concerns over public education problems during their election.From other countries successful expe
5、rience, Britain can learn that .A. tax payers money should be divided equally between parents and state schools.B. there should not be a tight control over the specific ways of teaching.C. the public money should go to any charity who would like to attract students.D.public surveillance should infor
6、m, parents in order to maintain high standards.We can infer from the last paragraph that .A. the proposals mentioned in the above paragraph are really radical.B. the education model the Netherlands and Sweden adopt are effective.C.the solutions of education problems involve a technique innovation.D.
7、 more Swedish children are educated in private schools than children in the Netherlands.What is the authors attitude towards the establishment of the school in Lambeth?A. Neutral.B. Approval.C. Disapproval.D. Critical.6、An experiment that some hoped would reveal a new class of subatomic particles, a
8、nd perhaps even point to clues about why the universe exists at all, has instead produced a first round of results that are mysteriously inconclusive.Dr. Conrad and William C. Louis presented their initial findings in a talk yesterday at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory where the experiment
9、 is being performed.The goal was to confirm or refute observations made in the 1990s in a Los Alamos experiment that observed transformations in the evanescent but bountiful particles known as neutrinos （微中子）. Neutrinos have no electrical charge and almost no mass, butthere are so many of them that
10、they could collectively outweigh all the stars in the universe.The new experiment has attracted wide interest. That reflected in part the hope of finding cracks in the Standard Model, which encapsulates physicists current knowledge about fundamental particles and forces.The Standard Model has proved
11、 remarkably effective and accurate, but it cannot answer some fundamental questions, like why the universe did not completely annihilate （毁灭）itself an instant after the Big Bang.The birth of the universe 13. 7 billion years ago created equal amounts of matter and antimatter. Since matter and antimat
12、ter annihilate each other when they come in contact, that would have left nothing to coalesce into stars and galaxies. There must be some imbalance in the laws of physics that led to a slight preponderance of matter over antimatter, and that extra bit of matter formed everything in the visible unive
13、rse.The imbalance, some physicists believe, may be hiding in the dynamics of neutrinos.Neutrinos come in three known types, or flavors. And they can change flavor as they travel. But the neutrino transformations reported in the Los Alamos data do not fit the three-flavormodel, suggesting four flavor
14、s of neutrinos, if not more.The new experiment sought to count the number of times one flavor of neutrino, called a muon（ n 介子），turned into another flavor, an electron neutrino.For most of the neutrino energy range they looked at, the scientists did not see any more electron neutrinos than would be
15、predicted by the Standard Model. That ruled out the simplest ways of interpreting the Los Alamos neutrino data, Dr. Conrad and Dr. Louis said.But at the lower energies, the scientists did see more electron neutrinos than predicted: 369, rather than the predicted 273. That may simply mean that some c
16、alculations are off. Or it could point to a subtler interplay of particles, known and unknown. Dr. Louis said he was surprised by the results”. I was sort of expecting a clear excess or no excess”, he said. In a sense, we got both”.It can be inferred from Paragraph 1 that the initial findings” of Dr
17、. Conrad and Louis are.A. a new class of subatoms.B. new subatomic particles.C. new characters of neutrinos.D.none of the above.According to the text, Neutrinos are kinds of particles thatA.are numerous and stable.B. have no electric charge.C. are short-lived matter.D.are small in amount.We can conc
18、lude that the dynamics of neutrinos may causeA.the universe to completely annihilate itself.B. some imbalance by generating more antimatter.C.the birth of the universe after the Big Bang.D.the uniting of matter into celestial body.According to the text, the Los Alamos experiment has reported that .A
19、.there are numerous neutrinos which fade away quickly.B. during traveling, neutrinos can change into three types.C. there are large numbers of neutrinos at the lower energies.D.neutrinos are observed for the first time during the experiment.7、 14In the experiment, Dr. Conrad and Louis find out.A. mo
20、st of the data in the Los Alamos experiment is not accurate.B.the number of times one flavor of neutrino converts into another.C.there is some subtler interplay of particles causing miscalculations.D. the number of neutrinos is more than estimated at the higher energies.11 When the United States and
21、 Korea (SOK) announced their new free-trade agreement last month, the news was mainly economic. The deal would give American farmers and bankers alike better access to Korean consumers and help Korean companies push more electronics, cars and textiles into the United States. Largely unreported was t
22、he political angle一the U. S. -Korea(SOK) free trade agreement comes at precisely the moment when Americas military presence on the Korean Peninsula is rapidly diminishing, anti-U. S. nationalism in Korea(SOK) is growing and China is playing an ever more important leadership role in the region. This
23、FT A is much more significant in strategic than economic terms.It is the same about any number of trade deals in Asia thesedays. While free-trade agreements have always been somewhat political, solidifying national relationships, the use of FTAs in geopolitical jockeying（竞赛）is reaching new heights i
24、n East Asia. Since 1997, the number of FTAs in the region has risen from seven to 38. Last time we saw this sort of frenzied bilateral activity was back in the 1930s. That worries some economists, who fear that all the free-trade politicking will further erode an already beleaguered global trading s
25、ystem, and create a snowball effect of countermeasures.Its no accident that the activity in the region has increased since 2022, which marked the beginning of a massive free trade agreement between China and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. China offered countries like Laos and Cambodia a
26、n “early harvest”, unilaterally opening up markets for hundreds of different kinds of agricultural products. That in turn helped smooth the way for a reduction in tension in hot spots like the disputed South China Sea territories. FTAs are becoming a key instrument for great-power diplomacy.That wor
27、ries rivals, who are rushing to find their own partners. The Japanese, for example, have always been cautious when it comes to bilateral agreements. Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe recently announced a new push for more Japanese FTAs in theregion. Meanwhile, the EU is trying desperately to push i
28、ts way back into the region, recently announcing plans to negotiate its own deals with both South Korea and the ASEAN nations.How will all the wheeling and dealing end? Not with more efficient trading. A recent map of Asian trade deals shows an increasingly complicated spaghetti bowl hindering broad
29、er global efforts to liberalize trade. Such deals have a disproportionately negative effect on small and medium-sized enterprises, representing as much as 80 percent of jobs in some parts of Asia. Already, the U. S. -Korea(SOK) deal is causing grousing(不满)in Japan, which would take a hit as Korean c
30、ompetitors no longer have, to deal with U. S. tariffs. Still, that probably won t turn the tide一the most important criterion in motivating a country to seek FTAs, well ahead of economic reform, was一surprise一politics.By signing a new FTA with Korea (SOK), U. S. wishes to.A. withdraw rapidly its milit
31、ary troops in Korea(SOK).B. arouse pro-U. S. sentiments in Korea(SOK).C. check the increasing significance of China there.D.fulfill its magnifying global economic strategy.It can be inferred from the text that .A. there has never been such a large-scale bilateral activity before.B. the activity in A
32、sia has not increased until a massive F-WA is signed.C. Japanese is not eager to sign FT A despite other countries activities.D. an FTA helps reduce the tension in the South China Sea territories.According to some economists, the rapidly increasing number of FTAs has the lurking hazard of.A.corrupti
33、ng the prosperous world economy system.B. causing problems to the already troubled world economy.C. creating a snowball effect of anti-FTA measures.D. hindering broader global efforts to liberalize trade.By signing a massive FFA with ASEAN nations, China tends toA. settle territorial issues with ASE
34、AN nations by offering them some economy privileges.B.fulfill its international responsibilities as a great-power to help ASEAN nations.C. make use of the agreements to reach its political and economical objectives.D. use the agreements to exercise its political and economical power over ASEAN natio
35、ns.What is the author s attitude towards the growing FT A activities?A. Approval.B. Critical.C. Neutral.D.Indifferent.12、 Leave it to writer Buchwald to bring humor to hospice. Last February, the famed satirist was diagnosed with terminal kidney failure, given three weeks to live, and transferred to
36、 a hospice for a quiet goodbye. Then the unexpected happened. His kidneys almost miraculously started working again. The poisons in his blood that were supposed to carry him out in peaceful slumber（死亡）washed out of his system, leaving instead a funny bone stunned and amused by the absurdity of the s
37、ituation. Its not every day that someone flunks hospice. Seasoned author that he is, Buchwald turned the irony into a book.Most companies say these days they are (14) hiring and promoting women and minorities一and there are some (15) trends in overall employment and pay levels so why are companies (1
38、6)the ball when it (17)executive education? The schools (18)that they are neither the cause of nor the cure for the problem. A Harvard Business School dean figures that companies are (19)of sending their female executives (20) they dont want to lose them to competitors.A.endowB.ventureC.invest D.don
39、ate 2、 A. designate B. identify C. fabricate D. approach 3、 A. viewB.examinationC.surveyD. testOnly 10 months ago, he was a sad, 80-year-old man with a newly amputated（切 除）leg and kidneys on the fritz （发生故 障）. Despite his familys pleas, he entered a hospice facility, at ease with his Choice to die n
40、aturally.Most people dont know much about hospice, the place. It doesn，t cure; it cares, relieving physical pain and mental anguish. Most often, cancer or cardiovascular （心血管病）disease carries hospice patients to their end, usually in weeks. But some are put on hold like Buchwald. Buchwald left after
41、 five months. In one large study, 6 percent of hospice patients improved enough to be taken off the terminal list and sent home.Buchwald was shocked when the big sleep didnt come. Before Buchwald became the hospices superstar, he had been the poster boy for depression. But with the help of physician
42、s and medication, he didnt drown.Laugh or cry. Facing natural death, he now offers a message many of his contemporaries need to hear. Older men, particularly those in their 80s, have the highest rate of suicide. Risk factors for them notably include health issues. In fact, suicide often comes soon a
43、fter theyve seen a doctor. On that point, Buchwald notes the medical dearth of smiles and laughter”. Look at how often doctors and nurses walk into apatients room all serious”, he says. His prescription? They” need to go to Disney World to be trained”.Laughter, of course, is the best medicine, and s
44、ome studies even show humor is a biological stress reliever. As Buchwald sees it, many humorists use it as therapy to block out periods of hurt or anger.You would not know there were hurts or anger judging by his hospice time. Friends and family smothered Buchwald with love.VIPs beat a path to the h
45、ospice door. And they all came bearing food, lots of cheesecake. He thrived. After he planned his funeral, he started up writing again and found he could write wonderfully.Buchwald is now teaching all of us how to live一and to die. Yet hes quick to add”, I have had such a good time at the hospice. I
46、am going to miss it.The word Seasoned” (Line 6, Paragraph 1) most probably meansA. seasonal.B.professional.C. experienced.D. sarcastic.We can infer from the text that hospice is a placeA. where patients who dont want or cant afford a treatment are cared for.B. where treatment focuses on the patients
47、 well-being rather than the cure.C. Where patients with terminal diseases live happily until they die.D. where less than six percents of patients make the recovery.In Buchwalds opinion, which of the following is true?A. the suicidal rate for elders of his age is the highest among all ages.B. doctors
48、 and nurses need to go to Disney World to relax from tension.C. laughter is a fine remedy for the patients to get rid of fear of death.D.laughter releases biological stress according to scientific studies.What had Buchwald experienced before entering the hospice?A.he was diagnosed with terminal hear
49、t failure.B.the poisons in his blood caused kidney failure.C. one of his legs fractured for lack of calcium.D.he was depressed and wanted to die naturally.By saying I am going to miss it in the last paragraph, Buchwald wants to indicate that .A. he got better from the illness and was taken off the t
