When Captain Cook asked the chiefs in Tahiti why they always ate 26 , they replied, “Because it is right.” If we ask Americans why they eat with knives and forks, or why their men wear pants 27 skirts, or why they may be married to only one person at a time, we are likely to get 28 and very uninformative answers:“ Because it’s right.” “Because that’s the way it’s done.” “Because it’s the 29 ” Or even “I don't know.” The reason for these and countless other patterns of social behavior is that they are 30 by social norms-shared rules or guidelines which prescribe the behavior that is appropriate in a given situation.Norms 31 how people “ought” to behave under particular circumstances in a particular society.We conform(遵守)to norms so readily that we are hardly aware they 32 In fact, we are much more likely to notice 33 from norms than conformity to them.You would not be surprised if a stranger tried to shake hands when you were introduced, but you might be a little 34 if they bowed, started to stroke you, or kissed you on both 35 Yet each of these other forms of greeting is appropriate in other parts of the world.When we visit another society whose norms are different, we quickly become aware that things we do this way, they do that way.Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension(40 minutes)Section A

The answer used to be two-year associate's or four-year bachelor’s degree programs.But as the nursing shortage 36 , a growing number of schools and hospitals are establishing “fast-track programs” that enable college graduates with no nursing 37 to become registered nurses with only a year or so of 38 training.In 1991.there were only 40 fast-track curricula;now there are more than 200.Typical is Columbia University's Entry to Practice program.Students earn their bachelor of science in nursing in a year.Those who stay on for an 39 two years can earn a master’s degree that 40 them as nurse practitioners(执业护士)or clinical nurse specialists.Many students are recent 41;others are career switchers.Rudy Guardron, 32, a 2004 graduate of Columbia’s program, was a premedical student in college and then worked for a pharmaceutical(药物的)research company.At Columbia, he was 42 as a nurse practitioner.“I saw that nurses were in high 43 and it looked like a really good opportunity,” he says' “Also, I didn't want to be in school for that long.”
The fast-track trend fills a need, but it’s also creating some 44 between newcomers and veterans.”Nurses that are still at the bedside 45 these kids with suspicion,“ says Linda Pellico, who has taught nursing at Yale University for 18 years.”They wonder, how can they do it quicker? The answer is they don't.注意:此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。

Directions: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it.Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs.Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived.You may choose a paragraph more than once.Each paragraph is marked with a letter.Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet2.The rise of the sharing economy
Last night 40 000 people rented accommodation from a service that offers 250 000 rooms in 30 000 cities in 192 countries.They chose their rooms and paid for everything online.But their beds were provided by private individuals, rather than a hotel chain.Hosts and guests were matched up by Airbnb, a firm based in San Francisco.Since its launch in 2008 more than 4 million people have used it—-2.5 million of them in 2012 alone.It is the most prominent example of a huge new “sharing economy”, in which people rent beds, cars, boats and other assets directly from each other, co-ordinate via the internet.A)You might think this is no different from running a bed-and-breakfast(家庭旅店),owning a timeshare(分时度假房)or participating in a car pool.But technology has reduced transaction costs, making sharing assets cheaper and easier than ever —and therefore possible on a much larger scale.The big change is the availability of more data about people and things, which allows physical assets to be divided and consumed as services.Before the internet, renting a surfboard, a power tool or a parking space from someone else was feasible, but was usually more trouble than it was worth.Now websites such as Airbnb, RelayRides and SnapGoods match up owners and renters; smartphones with GPS let people see where the nearest rentable car is parked;social networks provide a way to check up on people and build trust;and online payment systems handle the billing.What's mine is yours, for a fee
B)Just as peer-to-peer businesses like eBay allow anyone to become a retailer, sharing sites let individuals act as an ad hoc(临时的)taxi service, car-hire firm or boutique hotel(精品酒店〉as and when it suits them.Just go online or download an app.The model works for items that are expensive to buy and are widely owned by people who do not make full use of them.Bedrooms and cars are the most obvious examples, but you can also rent camping spaces in Sweden, fields in Australia and washing machines in France.As advocates of the sharing economy like to put it, access trumps(胜过)ownership.C)Rachel Botsman, the author of a book on the subject, says the consumer peer-to-peer rental market alone is worth $ 26 billion.Broader definitions of the sharing economy include peer-to-peer lending or putting a solar panel on your roof and selling power back to the grid(电网).And it is not just individuals;the web makes it easier for companies to rent out spare offices and idle machines, too.But the core of the sharing economy is people renting things from each other.D)Such “collaborative(合作的)consumption” is a good thing for several reasons.Owners make money from underused assets.Airbnb says hosts in San Francisco who rent out their homes do so for an average of 58 nights a year, making $ 9 300.Car owners who rent their vehicles to others using RelayRides make an average of $ 250 a month; some make more than $ 1 000.Renters, meanwhile, pay less than they would if they bought the item themselves, or turned to a traditional provider such as a hotel or car-hire firm.And there are environmental benefits, too: renting a car when you need it, rather than owning one, means fewer cars are required and fewer resources must be devoted to making them.E)For sociable souls, meeting new people by staying in their homes is part of the charm.Curmudgeons(低脾气的人)who imagine that every renter is a murderer can still stay at conventional hotels.For others, the web fosters trust.As well as the background checks carried out by platform owners, online reviews and ratings are usually posted by both parties to each transaction, which makes it easy to spot bad drivers, bathrobe-thieves and surfboard-wreckers.By using Facebook and other social networks, participants can check each other out and identify friends(or friends of friends)in common.An Airbnb user had her apartment trashed in 2011.But the remarkable thing is how well the system usually works.Peering into the future
F)The shying economy is a little like online shopping, which started in America 15 years ago.At first, people were worried about security.But having made a successful purchase from, say, Amazon, they felt safe buying elsewhere.Similarly, using Airbnb or a car-hire service for the first time encourages people to try other offerings.Next, consider eBay.Having started out as a peer-to-peer marketplace, it is now dominated by professional “power sellers“(many of whom started out as ordinary eBay users).The same may happen with the sharing economy, which also provides new opportunities for enterprise.Some people have bought cars solely to rent them out, for example.G)Existing rental businesses are getting involved too.Avis, a car-hire firm, has a share in a sharing rival.So do GM and Daimler, two carmakers, in future, companies may develop hybrid(混合的)models, listing excess capacity(whether vehicles,equipment or office space)on peer-to-peer rental sites.In the past, new ways of doing things online have not displaced the old ways entirely.But they have often changed them.Just as internet shopping forced Wal-mart and Tesco to adapt, so online sharing will shake up transport, tourism, equipment-hire and more.H)The main worry is regulatory uncertainty.Will room-renters be subject to hotel taxes, for example? In Amsterdam officials are using Airbnb listings to track down unlicensed hotels.In some American cities, peer-to-peer taxi services have been banned after lobbying by traditional taxi firms.The danger is that although some rules need to be updated to protect consumers from harm, existing rental businesses will try to destroy competition.People who rent out rooms should pay tax, of course, but they should not be regulated like a Ritz-Carlton hotel.The lighter rules that typically govern bed-and-breakfasts are more than adequate.I)The sharing economy is the latest example of the internet's value to consumers.This emerging model is now big and disruptive(颠覆性的)enough for regulators and companies to have woken up to it.That is a sign of its immense potential.It is time to start caring about sharing.注意:此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。
46.Sharing items such as cars does good to the environment.47.Airbnb's success clearly illustrates the emergence of a huge sharing economy.48.The major concern about the sharing economy is how the government regulates it.49.The most frequently shared items are those expensive to buy but not fully used.50.The sharing economy has a promising future.51.Online sharing will change the way business is done in transportation, travel, rentals, etc.52.Airbnb is a website that enables owners and renters to complete transactions online.53.The sharing economy is likely to go the way of online shopping.54.One advantage of sharing is that owners earn money from renting out items not made full use of.55.Sharing appeals to the sociable in that they can meet new people.Section C
Directions: There are 2 passages in this section.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C)and D).You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage One
Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.In recent years, a growing body of research has shown that our appetite and food intake are influenced by a large number of factors besides our biological need for energy, including our eating environment and our perception of the food in front of us.Studies have shown, for instance, that eating in front of the TV(or a similar distraction)can increase both hunger and the amount of food consumed.Even simple visual cues, like plate size and lighting, have been shown to affect portion size and consumption.A new study suggested that our short-term memory also may play a role in appetite.Several hours after a meal, people's hunger levels were predicted not by how much they’d eaten but rather by how much food they'd seen in front of them—in other words, how much they remembered eating.This disparity(盖弃)suggests the memory of our previous meal may have a bigger influence on our appetite than the actual size of the meal, says Jeffrey M.Brunstrom, a professor of experimental psychology at the University of Bristol.”Hunger isn't controlled solely by the physical characteristics of a recent meal.We have identified an independent role for memory for that meal,“ Brunstrom says.”This shows that the relationship between hunger and food intake is more complex than we thought.“ These findings echo earlier research that suggests our perception of food can sometimes trick our body’s response to the food itself.In a 2011 study, for instance, people who drank the same 3S0-calorie(卡路里)milkshake on two separate occasions produced different levels of hunger-related hormones(荷尔蒙),depending on whether the shake’s label said it contained 620 or 140 calories.Moreover, the participants reported feeling more full when they thought they'd consumed a higher-calorie shake.What does this mean for our eating habits? Although it hardly seems practical to trick ourselves into eating less, the new findings do highlight the benefits of focusing on our food and avoiding TV and multitasking while eating.The so-called mindful-eating strategies can fight distractions and help us control our appetite, Brunstrom says.注意:此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。
56.What is said to be a factor affecting our appetite and food intake? A)How we perceive the food we eat.C)When we eat our meals.B)What ingredients the food contains.D)How fast we eat our meals.57.What would happen at meal time if you remembered eating a lot in the previous meal? A)You would probably be more picky about food.B)You would not feel like eating the same food.C)You would have a good appetite.D)You would not feel so hungry.58.What do we learn from the 2011 study? A)Food labels may mislead consumers in their purchases.B)Food labels may influence our body’s response to food.C)Hunger levels depend on one's consumption of calories.D)People tend to take in a lot more calories than necessary.59.What does Brunstrom suggest we do to control our appetite? A)Trick ourselves into eating less.C)Concentrate on food while eating.B)Choose food with fewer calories.D)Pick dishes of the right size.60.What is the main idea of the passage? A)Eating distractions often affect our food digestion.B)Psychological factors influence our hunger levels.C)Our food intake is determined by our biological needs.D)Good eating habits will contribute to our health.Passage Two
Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.As a society we might want to rethink the time and money spent on education, so that these resources can benefit a greater percentage of the population.Ideally, both high schools and colleges can prepare individuals for the ever-changing roles that are likely to be expected of them.High school degrees offer far less in the way of preparation for work than they might, or than many other nations currently offer, creating a growing skills gap in our economy.We encourage students to go on to college whether they are prepared or not, or have a clear sense of purpose or interest, and now have the highest college dropout rate in the world.We might look to other countries for models of how high schools can offer better training, as well as the development of a work ethic(勤奋工作的美德)and the intellectual skills needed for continued learning and development.I recommend Harvard's 2011 ”Pathways to Prosperity“ report for more attention to the ”forgotten half“(those who do not go on to college)and ideas about how to address this issue.Simultaneously, the liberal arts become more important than ever.In a knowledge economy where professional roles change rapidly and many college students are preparing for positions that may not even exist yet, the skill set needed is one that prepares them for change and continued learning.Learning to express ideas well in both writing and speech, knowing how to find information, and knowing how to do research are all-solid background skills for a wide variety of roles, and such training is more important than any particular major in a liberal arts college.We need to continue to value broad preparation in thinking skills ihat will serve for a lifetime.Students also need to learn to work independently and to make responsible decisions.The lengthening path to adulthood appears exacerbated(惡化)by parental involvement in the college years.Given the rising investment in college education, parental concern is not surprising, but learning where and when to intervene(干预)will help students take more ownership of the outcomes of these increasingly costly educations.注意:此部分试越请在答题卡2上作答。

A)It benefits the great majority of the general population.B)It prepares students to meet the future needs of society.C)It encourages students to learn throughout their lives.D)It ensures that students' expectations are successfully fulfilled.62.What does the author say is the problem with present high school education? A)Ignoring the needs of those who don't go to college.B)Teaching skills to be used right after graduation only.C)Giving little attention to those having difficulty learning.D)Creating the highest dropout rate in the developed world.63.What characterizes a knowledge economy according to the passage? A)People have to receive higher education to qualify for a professional position.B)Students majoring in liberal arts usually have difficulty securing a job.C)New positions are constantly created that require people to keep learning.D)Colleges find it hard to teach students how to cope with the changing economy.64.What does the author think a liberal arts college should focus on? A)Solid background knowledge in a particular field.B)Practical skills urgently needed in current society.C)Basic skills needed for change and lifelong learning.D)Useful thinking skills for advanced academic research.65.What suggestion docs the author offer to parents?

Reading Comprehension Section A 参考译文
怎样才能成为一名训练有素的护士呢?在过去,答案是两年的专科学习或者四年的本科学习。但是,由于护士短缺现象加剧,越来越多的学校和医院建立了“快速通道项目”,这使没有经验的大学毕业生通过 专业训练就能在一年左右成为注册护士。
1991年,美国只有40个快速通道课程,而现在则已超过200个。哥伦比亚大学的“实践人门”项目就 是典型代表。学生用一年的时间就能获得护理专业学士学位;而那些留校继续再读两年的学生能获得硕 士学位,有资格成为执业护士或者临床护理专家。
很多参加“快速通道”项目的学生是刚毕业的大学生,也有工作后想要转行的人。Rudy Guardron, 32岁,是哥伦比亚大学此项目2004年的毕业生。他原本是医科大学预科的学生,后来在制药研究公司工作。他在哥伦比亚大学受训成为一名执业护士。“我意识到护士的需求量很大,这看起来是个很好的机 会,”他说,“而且,我不想在学校待那么长时间。”快速通道“的趋向填补了护士短缺的需求,但是也造成了新老护士之间的紧张气氛。”临床的护士带 着怀疑的态度看待这些新人在耶鲁大学教授护理学已有18年之久的Linda Pellico说他们想知道,自己怎么能快速地成为执业护士呢?“答案是没有办法。
答案详解
36.【考点】动词辨析题。
0)【精析】空格所在的句子是as引导的原W状语从 句,从句的主语为nursing shortage,缺少谓语,因 此空格处要填一个动词。句子表述的是当前的现象,并且,主语shortage为不可数名词,因此谓语动 词应为一般现在时,且应使用第三人称单数形式。空格后的表述建立“快速通道”是针对妒士短缺而采取的对策,此处原因状语从句应该表述护土短缺这一现象变得”恶化“等意,备选动词中只有 worsens合适,故为答案。备选词语中,explores 和qualifies也为第三人称单数形式,但explores 意为”探索.探究“.qualifies意为”使有资格;取得 资格“,与此处要表达的”恶化“意思不符合,故可 以排除。
37.【考点】名词辨析题。E)【精析】空格所在的句子是一个由that引导的定 语从句,修饰”fast-track programs“,从句中使用 了 enable sb.to do sth的结构,由此可知 with no nursing与空格构成介宾短语作后置定语修饰 college graduates,也就是sb.,因此空格处需填入一个名词。再结合空格后”通过仅需一年的训练 就能成为护士“的表述,可推断此处的sb.指没有护理经验的大学生,由此确为experience。空格处需要填人名间,意为没Yf经验的大学生,其 余备选名词均不符合句意,故可以排除。
38.【考点】形容词辨析题。
K)【精析】空格后面有名词training,因此空格处需 要填入形容词来进行修饰。空格所在的句子为定 语从句修饰”fast-track programs“,这种”快速通 道“使没有经验的大学生通过某种培训在短期就 能成为护士,那么该培训必定是”专门的,特别 的“,因此填入specialized符合句意。在备选的形 容词中,additional“附加的,另外的”,excessive“过 多的,过度的”,虽然都能和training搭配,是根据前文可知,参加培训的大学生是没有护理经验 的,也就是没有接受过护理方面的培训,故用”另外的“或”过多的“来修饰training不符合上下文 语境,故这两个同均可徘除。
39.【考点】形容词辨析题。
A)【精析】空格前为an,空格后为名词短语two years,因此空格处应填入以元音音素开头的形容 调修饰two years。前文提到”学生用一年的时间 就能获得护理智业学士学位“,此句表达的意思为 •'再多上两年就能获得硕士学位”,由此可确定答 案为additional。备选形容词中,specialized为辅 音音素开头,可先排除。excessive虽然是以元音 音素开头,但是意思为“过多的,过度的”,填入此 处语义不通,故也可排除。
40.【考点】动词辨析题。
J)【精析】空格所在的句子是that引导的定语从句,that在从句中作主语,从句中缺少谓语,因此空格 处豁填入一个动词,形式为第三人称单数,而且要 和下文的as搭配,故备选动词巾,符合上述要求的 同为qualifies。将该词填人空格,表达的意思为硕 士学位使他们有资格成为执业护士或者临床护理 专家。符合上下文语境。在备选动词件•,applied, demand, experience, promote, trained, view 都不是第三人称单数形式,故均可排除;worsens在 36题中已经使,可以排除;explores意为“探索,探究”,词义不符,旦无法和as构成播配,可以排 除。
41.【考点】名词辨析题。
G)【精析】空格前有are,还有形容词recent,所以空 格处需要填入名词的复数形式。通过上下文可知,本段主要讲“快速通道”的适用人群。对照文章第一段提到的“快速通道”项目使没有经验的大学毕业生通过专业训练就能在一年左右成为注册 护+•可确定大学毕业生为“快速通道”的适用人 群之一,故此处填graduates。备选名词中,demand, tension, view均为串.数,可排除;experience 在37题中已经使用,可排除;operations虽为复数,但“行动;手术”之义与前文不符,可排除。
42.【考点】动词辨析题。
M)【精析】根据句子结构可知,空格处应填入动词的过去分词,和was构成被动语态。备选项中,trained表示“训练,培训”,符合句意,故为答案。该句意为“他被培训成为执业护士”。备选项中只 有trained和applied为过去分词形式,applied意 为“适用;应用”,意思不符,可排除。
43.【考点】名词辨析题。
C)【精析】根据句子结构可知,此处应填人一个名同,能与in搭配。分析上下文,此处是Rudy Guardron在解释自己通过“快速通道”成为护士 的原因,他认为护士需求量大,受欢迎,是个好机 会。demand可以表示“需求”的意思,而且短语in demand意为“受欢迎的,需要的”,符合题意,故为 本题答案。在备选名词中,experience和graduates 已经使用,可排除;operations “行动;手术”,tension“紧张;紧张关系”, view“观点,看法”放在 句中不符合上下文意思,—了排除。
44.【考点】名词辨析题。L)【精析】空格前面有动词creating和形容词some, 所以空格处需要填入名词作creating的宾语。本 句表达的意思是“快速通道”的趋向使新老护士之 间产生了一些“情况”。下文提到老护士对新护士 持怀疑态度,由此可推断这些“情况”应是指“新老 护士之间的紧张关系”,故tension“紧张;紧张关 系”符合句意,为本题答案。在备选名词中,demand, experience, graduates 已经使用,可排 除。operations“行动;手术”和view“观点,看法” 放在句中不符合句意,可排除。
45.【考点】动词辨析题。
N)【精析】分析句子结构可知,此句为一般现在时,主 语为nurses,宾语为kids,缺少谓语,因此空格处需 填入一个动词,且为复数形式来搭配nurses。此 句描述临床护士对新进护士的态度,因此备选动 词中,view“看待”符合句意,为正确答案。备选动 词中,是一般现在时且为第三人称复数形式的动 词只有 demand, promote 和 view。demand 已经 使用,可排除;promote意为“促进,提升”,和句意 不符,可排除。
Section B 共享经济的崛起
A)(52)昨天晚上,4万人通过一项服务租到了房子。该服务提供了 25万间房屋,覆盖192个国家的 3万个城市。他们在网上挑选房屋并在线支付一切费用。但是,他们的房子不是连锁酒店而是由个人提供的。(47)撮合房客与房主的是一家总部设在旧金山的公司一一Airbnb,自2008年开展业务 以来,该公司已经为400多万人提供过服务,仅2012年就服务过250万人。该公司是很受欢迎的新型 “共享经济”最成功的范例。通过网络协调,人们互相之间可以直接租赁房屋、汽车、船以及其他资产。
B)你或许认为共享经济同经营家庭旅店、拥有分时度假房或者拼车没什么区别。但是,技术降低了交 易成本,使同别人共享资产变得比以前更加划算和容易一一因此,这种交易规模也可能更大。共享 经济的重大改变在于它能够让你获得更多的有关对方和租赁物的信息,从而允许把实体资产进行分 配并作为服务供人们消费。在互联网出现之前,从他人处租赁冲浪板、电动工具或是停车场是可行 的,但同租金相比,租赁行为本身往往更麻烦。如今,像Airbnb、RelayRides和SnapGoods这类网站 把交易双方撮合在一起;带有GPS定位功能的智能手机能让人们看到最近的可供租赁的汽车停在 什么位置;社交网络提供了一种核对人们信息并且能让交易各方建立信任的方式;网络支付系统来 处理订单。
我的就是你的,但得付费
C)如同eBay的对等商务允许任何人成为一名零售商一样,共享网站可以让个人根据自己的情况,从 事临时出租车服务、开设租车公司或是精品酒店的业务。所有这一切只要上网或是下载一款应用程序即可。(49)这种模式适用于那些价格昂责而已经拥有它的人却无法物尽其用的物品。最明显的 例子就是房子和汽车。除此之外,你还可以租赁瑞典的露宿营地、澳大利亚的农场以及法国的洗衣 机。共享经济推广者的口头禅就是:共享胜过拥有。
D)对此写过一本专著的Rachel Botsman说,仅消费者的对等租赁市场就价值260亿美元。广义上的 共享经济还包括对等放贷或在你的房顶上安装一块太阳能电池板,然后把生产出来的电力卖给电网 公司。当然,共享经济并不仅限于个人。网络让公司更轻易地将多余的办公室和闲置的机器租赁出 去。但是,共享经济的核心是互相租赁东西的个人。
E)此类“协作消费”之所以是一件好事有以下几个原因。(54)所有者可以从利用率不足的物品中赚取费用。Airbnb称,旧金山市的那些平均每年将房屋出租58天的房主,每年能有9 300美元的收入。那些使用RelayRides的服务将自家汽车租赁给别人的车主每月平均收入为250美元,有些甚至超 过了 1 000美元。与此同时,同自己购买或是从旅馆和租车公司等传统的租赁商那里承租相比,承 租人的费用也降低了不少。(46)共享经济还有益于环保。在需要时租车而不是买车,这意味着汽车 的需求量减少,那么用于制造汽车所需求的资源也必定会越来越少。
F)(55)对善于交际的人来说,待在自己的家里就可以结交新朋友是共享经济的一个魅力所在。把每个 房屋出租者当作谋杀犯的性格個强的人仍能住在传统的旅馆里。对于其他人来说,网络可以增进信 任。由于软件平台的管理方对交易方的背景进行核实,交易方通常都要对每笔交易进行在线打分和 评级,这使得人们容易识别出懒惰的司机、偷浴衣的小偷以及把冲浪板弄坏的人。通过使用 Facebook和其他社交网络,参与者可以相互进行身份验证,鉴别出谁是朋友(或者朋友的朋友)。一 位Airbnb用户的公寓在2011年被破坏了。但是,值得注意的是,这个系统通常运转良好。
关注共享经济的未来
G)(53)共享经济有点像15年前始于美国的网上购物。开始的时候,人们对它的安全性有所担心。但 是,在经历了一次成功购物后,比如说在亚马逊网站,人们对在其他网站进行购物就感到放心了。同 样,有了第一次使用Airbnb或者某项租车服务的经验就会鼓励人们去尝试其他服务。其次,看一看 eBay。开始的时候,eBay只是一个对等市场,而如今的eBay已被专业的“强力卖家”所主导(其中许 多人创业时只是eBay的普通卖家)。(53)同样的情况也可能发生在共享经济上,这也能给企业提供新的机遇。比如说,有些人之所以买车就是为了把车租出去赚钱。
H)现有的租赁企业也正在涉足这一行业。租车公司Avis入股了其共享经济对手,通用汽车和戴姆勒 这两个汽车制造商也这样做。未来,公司可能发展成溜合模式,只要是用不着或者是难以物尽其用 的商品(不管是交通工具、各种装备还是办公空间)都可以放到对等租赁网站上。过去,在线交易的 新方式没有完全取代传统模式。但前者经常改变后者。就像在线购物迫使沃尔玛和乐购做出调整那样,(51)网络共享将改变交通、旅游、装备出租和更多的行业。
I)(48)人们主要的担心在于监管的不确定性。例如:房屋出租者也要缴纳旅馆税吗?在荷兰,阿姆斯特丹的官员正在利用Airbnb的列表来追踪没有菅业执照的旅馆。在美国的一些城市,由于传统的 出租车公司的游说,一些城市已经取消了对等租车服务。共享经济面临的危险在于,尽管有些法规 需要更新才能保护消费者免受伤害,现有租赁企业会尽其所能破坏竞争。把房子租给别人的房屋出 租者当然应该纳税,但是当局不能把这些人当作丽思卡尔顿酒店一样来监管。通常用来监管连锁家 庭旅店的那些相对较轻的监管措施更适用。
J)共享经济是互联网对于消费者的价值的最新例证。(50)对于监管者和传统企业来说,这种新兴的模 式的冲击力之大足以令他们惊醒。这是其巨大潜力的一个信号。是时候开始重视共享经济了。
答案详解
46.【定位】由cars和environment定位到E)段最后—句。
E)【精析】细节辨认题。定位段详细阐释了共享经济 “协作消费”的三大优势:一是物尽其用并可以赚 取费用;二是承租费用降低;三是有益于环境。在 谈到第三大优势时,作者以租赁汽车为例来说明 租赁能够减少汽车的需求量,制造汽车的资源需 求也会相应降低,从而有利于环保。由此可知,共 享汽车有益于环保。题干是对第三大优势的概括,故答案为E)。
47.【定位】由题干中的Airbnb, huge和sharing economy定位到A)段最后三句。
A)【精析】细节推断题。A)段以Airbnb为例,通过 列举数字来说明共享经济已初见成效。定位句中 的 4 million, 2.5 million 等数字表明,Airbnb 在 开展业务的短短几年的时间里,它的共享经济模式已经取得了巨大成功,随后类推这种经济模式 很受欢迎,有巨大潜力。题千是对定位句的推断 总结,故答案为A)。

Section C Passage One 参考译文
(56)(60)近年来,越来越多的研究表明:除了对能量的生理需要外,人们的食欲和食物摄取受到诸多 因素的影响,包括人们的饮食环境和对面前食物的认知。
研究表明,例如,在电视机(或者类似的消遣)前饮食能够同时增加饥饿感和食物的摄取量。即使是筒 单的视觉信号,比如餐盘的尺寸和灯光,也被证实会对食物分量和摄取量造成影响。(60)新的研究显示人们的短期记忆同样对食欲起作用。(57)饭后几小时,决定人们饥饿程度的不是 他们已食用的食物量,而是他们吃饭时面前所见到的食物量,换言之,是他们所记得的食物量。
布里斯托大学实验心理学教授Jeffrey M.Brunstrom认为:这种差异表明人们之前的饮食记忆对食 欲造成的影响可能超过食物的真实数量对食欲造成的影响。
“饥饿程度不仅仅与最近所食食物的特征有关。我们已经确认了最近饮食在记忆中的独立作用 Brunstrom说,”这表明饥饿程度和食物摄取之间的关系要比我们想象的复杂得多。“ 这些发现印证了早期的研究。(60)早期研究表明,人们对食物的认知有时会欺骗身体对食物作出反应.例如:(58)在2011年的一项研究中,参与者在两个不同场合食用了同样含有380卡路里的奶昔,但是 根据奶昔标签上标注的是620卡路里还是140卡路里,参与者分泌出了不同水平的与饥饿相关的荷尔蒙。而且,根据报告,当参与者认为自己食用了高卡路里的奶昔时,他们感觉更饱。
这对于人们的饮食习惯意味着什么呢?尽管新发现在让人减少饮食方面显得不切实除,但是确实能使人们认识到专注于食物、避免饮食时看电视或同时进行多项活动的益处。
(59)Brunstrom说,所谓的”用心饮食“策略能够对抗干扰,帮助人们控制食欲。56.【定位】由题干中的appetite和food intake定位 到首段第一句。
A)【精析】事实细节题。文章开篇指出了人们的食欲 和食物摄取受到诸多因素的影响,包括人们的饮 食环境和对面前食物的认知,故答案为A)。
57.【定位】由题干中的remembered和previous meal 定位到第三段第二句。
D)【精析】推理判断题。定位句指出,饭后几小时,决定人们饥饿程度的不是他们已食用的食物量,而是他们吃饭时面前所见到的食物量,也就是说,影响人们饥饿程度的是他们记忆中的食物量而不是胃里的食物量。由此可推断,记忆对饮食造成影 响,如果记忆中上顿饭吃了很多,那么不管是不是 真的吃了很多,都不会感觉太饿,故答案为D)。
58.【定位】由题干中的2011 study定位到第六段第 二句。
B)【精析】细节归纳题。定位句详细描述了 2011年 的一项研究。在研究中,参与者在两个不同场合 食用了相同卡路里的奶昔,但是奶昔标签上分别 标注了 620卡路里和140卡路里,结果显示,根据 标注的中路里含量,参与者分泌了不同水平的与 饥饿相关的荷尔蒙,而且当食用了标注620卡路 里的奶昔时,他们感觉更饱。实际上两份奶昔的 卡路里含量是相同的,由于标签标注的不同,让人产生自我暗示,使人体对食物产生了不同的反应。故答案为B)。
59.【定位】由题干中的control our appetite定位到文 章最后一句。
C)【精析】细节归纳题。定位句指出,所谓的”用心饮 食“策略能够对抗干扰,帮助人们控制食欲。也就 是Brunstrom建议我们通过”用心饮食“策略控制 饮食用心饮食”和前文中提到的“专注于食物” 相照应,故答案为C)。
60.【定位】由题干中的main idea定位到各部分主题 句。如第一段的第一句、第三段的第一句、第六段 的第一句和最后一句。

Passage two 参考译文
我们的社会应该反思花费在教育上的时间和金钱,以便这些资源能使更多的人受益。(61)理想上,高中和大学都应该能培养可以适应未来角色变化的学生。
(62)高中学历所提供给学生的就业准备远比预期少,或者远比目前其他国家所提供的少,因而造成了 经济中不新扩大的技能差距。不管学生有没有做好准备,有没有明确的目标或兴趣,我们都鼓励他们继续读大学,因而产生了自前世界上最高的大学辍学率。
我们可以借鉴其他国家的做法,学习高中阶段如何提供更好的培训,同时培养学生勤奋工作的美德及 继续学习和发展所需的心智技能。我向大家推荐哈佛大学2011年“迈向繁荣之路”报告,来更多地关注 “被遗忘的一半”(那些没上大学的人)以及解决这一问题的观点。
同时,人文科学比以往任何阶段都更重要。(63)在知识型经济中,职业角色迅速变化,很多大学生为 之准备的职位甚至可能还不存在,他们所需的是能让他们适应变化和继续学习的技能组合。
(64)学会在书面和口头陈述中很好地表达观点,知道如何寻找信息及如何作调查研究都是为适应各 种不同角色所应具备的扎实的背景技术。在文理学院,此类的培训比任何一门专业都重要。我们需要继续重视并广泛培养将会終生受益的思维技能。
学生们还需要学会独立学习,学会做出负责任的决定。由于家长在大学阶段的参与,通向成年的漫长 道路看起来好像更长了。考虑到对大学教育不断攀升的投资,家长的担心也不足为奇,(65)但是学会如何地进行干预将会有助于学生享受这些日益昂责的教育所带来的成果。
答案详解
61.【定位】由题干中的ideal定位到第一段第二句。
B)【精析】语义理解题。定位句指出:理想上,高中和 大学都应该能培养学生适应未来角色的变化。此 句表明在未来社会中,人们的角色会不断发生变 化,理想的教育就是能培养适应这种变化的人才,也就是说,理想的教育可以满足未来社会的需求,故答案为B)。
62.【定位】由题干中的problem, high school定位到第二段。
D)【精析】事实细节题。作者在文章第二段论述了目 前高中教育的问题,如提供给学生的就业准备不 足,造成了经济中不断扩大的技能差距。盲目鼓 励学生读大学造成了目前世界上最高的大学綴学 率,故答案为D)。
63.【定位】由题干中的knowledge economy定位到 第四段第二句。
C)【精析】细节推断题。定位句提到,在知识型经济 中,职业角色变化迅速,很多大学生为之准备的职位甚至可能还不存在。由此可推断,知识型经济 的特征是职业的迅速变化,新的职位不断地被创 造,有些读书时还不存在的职位可能在毕业时出 现,届时,在学校里学到的知识就远远不够了,因此人们需要持续学习来适应这些不断被创造出的 新职位,故答案为C)。
64.【定位】由题干中的liberal arts college定位到第 五段第一句。
C)【精析】细节归纳题。文章第五段提到在文理学 院,这些培训比任何一门专业都重要。“这些培训”指上文提到的“学会在口失和书面陈述中很好 地表达观点,知道如何寻找信息并且知道如何作 调査研究”,而这些技能培训是为了适应未来的变 化,故答案为C)。
65.【定位】由题干中的suggestion和parents定位到 文章最后一句。
【精析】细节归纳题。最后一段提到由于家长在 大学阶段的参与,通向成年的漫长道路看起来好 像更长了 “,这句话我们可以理解为家长在大学阶 段过多参与孩子的教育会影响孩子的成长。文章 最后指出”学会何时何地进行干预将会有助于学生享受这些日益昂贵的教育所带来的成果。“也就是说,作者建议家长学会适当的参与,避免过多的干预,这样才能使孩子更好地成长,使教育取得更 大的成效,故答案为D)。

Vocabulary and Grammar
2013年6月大学英语四级考试(第一套)作文真题
Part I Writing(30 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay.You should start your essay with a brief description of the picture and then express your views on the importance of reading literature.You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.One possible version
The Importance of Reading Literature In the cartoon, a teacher gives a literary work to a student who is shocked by her action, saying, “Just think of it as you’re reading a long text-message.” It shows the case that people nowadays are indifferent to the thick, heavy and long literary works.Various reasons are responsible for the phenomenon mentioned above.Firstly, modern technologies force us to live a high-paced life, which gives opportunities to “fast-food culture” to be ubiquitous in our daily life.So reading literature, as a patience-and time-consuming activity, has irresistibly lost some of its participants.Secondly, the impetuous mentality of the whole society aggravates the impatience of modern citizens so that it is increasingly difficult for them to read a long and thick literary work.Thirdly, the concept that reading literature is useless also contributes to the reluctance of reading literature.Personally, reading literature can greatly broaden our mind and vision, motivate our critical and independent thinking, cultivate our patience and peace of mind, and perfect our selfhood.So why not spare some time on reading literature? Notes to the texts 1.indifferent 漠不关心;不感兴趣
2.ubiquitous似乎无所不在的;十分普遍的 3.irresistibly无法抵制地
4.impetuous mentality 浮躁心态 5.aggravate 使严重;使恶化
6.perfect v.to make sth perfect or as good as you can 使完善;使完美;使完备 2015-6-11 Vocabulary and Grammar

【点评】
今年的大学英语六级考试题型改革后,翻译题从之前的单句汉译英“换装”为段落汉译英,这对于考生来说,无疑是一个更大的挑战。很多考生一看到整段的汉译英题目就头疼,因为他们对于这个题目太陌生了。从单句到段落的翻译,标志着国家对于考生英语水平的要求已经提高到了一个全新的层面。段落翻译考查的是考生的英语综合水平。
但从真题的出题角度来看,这次考试还是对考生相当得仁慈,考题要比考试样章中的题目来得简单得多。整篇翻译题就像是一篇四级作文,属于观点对立型的。主要是针对学校是否应该将信息技术这门课作为学生的必修课。其中阐述了两类人群的不同观点,这像极了我们四级考试作文题。比作文题还要简单的是,段落翻译已经给出了考生写作的思想,考生只需将其翻译成英文即可。
从真题的出题内容来看,这次的翻译题也没有考那些考生不熟悉的话题,而是对考生特别熟悉的信息技术进行了考查。而且,整篇翻译原文中并没有特别长的句子和特别难的表达。相信考生肯定可以从容应对的。
