1、廣西師范大學(xué)2011年非英語(yǔ)專業(yè)研究生學(xué)位英語(yǔ)考試試卷 Part I Reading Comprehension (共40分，每小題2分 ) Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. At the end of each passage, five questions will be asked about it. For the first three passages, you should read the four choices marked A, B, C and D, and decide on the best

2、 choice. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. For the last passage, you should write your answers to the questions on the Answer Sheet. Passage One Oxford University once claimed to have been founded by Alfred the Great in the 9th Century, but in fact, it began to take shape i

3、n the 12th Century when English scholars were forced to leave from Paris University and began to gather at Oxfords Abbeys (修道院) and Priories (寺院), which were by then already established centers of learning. Today, 39 independent colleges are related to the University in a type of federal system. E

4、ach is governed by a Head of House and a number of Fellows, who are scholars specializing in a wide variety of subjects, most of whom also hold University posts. Across both the Arts and the Sciences, Oxford research consistently ranks top both nationally and internationally. As well as being in t

5、he front of scientific, medical, and technological achievement, the University has strong links with research organizations and industrial concerns both in the UK and overseas. Its income from offers for research in 1996 totaled over ￡107 million. The Universitys great age also allows its teaching s

6、taff and research students to draw on a tradition of great library and museum collections. Students working for higher degrees are an important and valued part. They currently make up over a quarter of the total student body of 15,641, drawn by the excellent facilities for research which the Unive

7、rsity can offer, therefore the number of graduate students is increasing. In all these fields, Oxford attracts scholars from many parts of the world to join its teaching and research staff, and also values the important role of overseas graduate students in providing intellectual drive and creatin

8、g and keeping links with colleges abroad. To get into the University, students must first win a place by competitive examination at one of the colleges, which have their own policies. And the process of acceptance by both the professor and college can take some time; early application is therefore

9、 strongly advised. 1. In truth Oxford University was developed by _________________. A. Alfred the Great in the 9th century B. scholars that had to leave France C. 9th century students from Paris D. 39 independent federal houses 2. The heads of the 39 independent colleges are most ofte

10、n _______________. A. government officials B. overseas scholars C. scholars of the University D. students of the University 3. Oxford research consistently ranks ________________________. A. the first in Sciences and the second in Arts B. the first in Arts and the second in Scienc

11、es C. the first in Arts and Sciences only in Britain D. the first in Arts and Sciences everywhere 4. Every year, Oxford University attracts many __________________________. A. national and international financial aids for research B. international scholars and overseas graduate students

12、 C. scholars to join its teaching and research staff from Britain D. facilities for research such as libraries and museums 5. If one wants to study at Oxford, he/she ________________________. A. should apply early and do well on the test B. should be familiar with the professors there

13、 C. has to win a prize for his / her speech first D. must win the first place in the examination Passage Two A person may have an idea about himself that will prevent him from doing good work. He may have the idea that he is not capable of it. It is easy to get such an idea even though the

14、re is not a good reason for it. A child may think he is stupid because he does not understand how to make the most of his mental skills, or he may accept another persons mistaken estimate of his ability. A person who believes that he is incapable will not make a real effort, because he feels that

15、it would be useless. He is therefore likely to fail, and the failure will add to his belief about his incompetence. Alfred Adler, a famous psychiatrist, had an experience which illustrates this. When he was a small boy he got off to a poor start in arithmetic. His teacher got the idea that he had

16、no ability in arithmetic, and told his parents what she thought. In this way, they too developed the idea. He accepted their mistaken estimate of his ability, felt that it was useless to try, and was very poor at arithmetic, just as they expected. One day he became very angry at the teacher and th

17、e other students because they laughed when he said he saw how to do a problem which none of the other students had been able to solve. When Adler succeeded in solving the problem, he rejected the idea that he couldnt do arithmetic and was determined to show them that he could. His anger and his ne

18、w found confidence stimulated him to go at arithmetic problems with a new spirit. He now worked with interest, determination, and purpose, and he soon became very good at arithmetic. This experience made him realize that many people have more ability than they think they have, and that lack of suc

19、cess is as often the result of lack of knowledge of how to apply ones ability, lack of confidence, and lack of determination as it is the result of lack of ability. 6. Whats the main idea of the passage? A. A wrong self-image may prevent one from reaching his full potential. B. Its easy for a

20、 person to believe in his own incompetence. C. Never take to heart what others think of you. D. Lack of success is often the result of lack of ability. 7. Why a persons mistaken notion often results in failure? A. He believes hell succeed one day. B. He feels that hes not good enough.

21、 C. He believes hell fail anyway. D. He doesnt need to make any effort. 8. Whats the function of Alfred Adlers example in the whole passage? A. Alfred Adlers experience illustrates his poor start in math. B. Alfred Adlers story exemplifies the authors conclusion. C. Alfred Adlers examp

22、le shows his real ability in arithmetic. D. Alfred Adlers example teaches us the value of self-confidence. 9. According to the author, whats the reason of a child for thinking he is stupid? A. Theres not a good reason for this kind of thinking. B. Because the people around him tell him it.

23、 C. Because he never thinks that he can also be smart. D. Because he does not know how to make full use of his mental powers. 10. According to the author, many peoples mental pictures about themselves are ________________. A. correct B. in focus C. out of focus D. accurate Pass

24、age Three Are organically grown foods the best food choices? The advantages claimed for such foods over conventionally grown and marketed food products are now being debated. Advocates of organic foods—a term whose meaning varies greatly—frequently proclaim that such products are safer and more nut

25、ritious than others. The growing interest of consumers in the safety and nutritional quality of the typical North American diet is a welcome development. However, much of this interest has been sparked by sweeping claims that the food supply is unsafe or inadequate in meeting nutritional needs. Al

26、though most of these claims are not supported by scientific evidence, the great number of written material advancing such claims makes it difficult for the general public to separate fact from fiction. As a result, claims that eating a diet consisting entirely of organically-grown foods prevents or

27、cures disease or provides other benefits to health have become widely publicized and popular among customers. Almost daily the public is surrounded by claims for "no-aging" diets, new vitamins, and other wonder foods. There are numerous unsubstantiated (無(wú)確實(shí)根據(jù)的) reports that natural vitamins are su

28、perior to synthetic ones, that fertilized eggs are nutritionally superior to unfertilized eggs, that untreated grains are better than fertilized grains, and the like. One thing that most organically grown food products seem to have in common is that they cost more than conventionally grown foods.

29、But in many cases consumers are misled if they believe organic foods can maintain health and provide better nutritional quality than conventionally grown foods. So there is real cause for concern if consumers, particularly those with limited incomes, distrust the regular food supply and buy only exp

30、ensive organic foods instead. 11. The word "Advocates" (Para. 1) is closest in meaning to which of the following? A. Supporters. B. Merchants. C. Inspectors. D. Consumers. 12. What does the word "others" (Para. 1) refer to? A. Advantages. B. Advocates. C. Organic foods.

31、 D. Non-organically-grown products. 13. The author implies that there is cause for concern if consumers with limited incomes buy organic foods instead of conventionally grown foods because ________. A. organic foods can be more expensive but are often no better than conventionally-grown foo

32、ds B. many organic foods are actually less nutritious than similar conventionally-grown foods C. conventionally-grown foods are more readily available than organic foods D. too many farmers will stop using conventional methods to grow food crops 14. According to the last paragraph, cons

33、umers who believe that organic foods are better than conventionally-grown foods are often ________. A. careless B. mistaken C. mistaking D. wealthy 15. What is the authors attitude toward the claims made by advocates of health foods? A. Very enthusiastic. B. Somewhat favorab

34、le. C. Neutral. D. Doubtful. Passage Four Clothes play a vital part in the conclusions we reach about people by providing clues to who people are and who they would like to be. They tell us a good deal about the wearers background, personality, status, feeling, and social attitudes. Si

35、nce clothes are such an important source of social information, we can use them to control peoples impression of us. Our appearance assumes particular significance in the initial stage of interaction that is likely to occur. An elderly middle-class man or woman may keep a distance from a young adult

36、 who is dressed in an unusual manner, regardless of the persons education, background, or interests. People tend to agree on what certain types of clothes mean. The announcers who read the news on TV are considered to be more convincing, honest, and competent when they are dressed in a traditional

37、 manner. And college students who view themselves as taking an active role in their relationships with other people say they are concerned about the clothes they must wear to play these roles successfully. Moreover, many of us can relate instances in which the clothing we wore changed the way we f

38、elt about ourselves and how we acted. Perhaps you have used clothing to gain confidence when you anticipated a situation full of stress, such as a job interview, or a public appearance. At the office, men have long had role models for achieving success. It has been otherwise for women. A good many

39、 women in the business world are uncertain about the appropriate level of "manly" and "womanly" attributes they should communicate by their professional clothing. The variety of clothing alternatives to women has also been greater than that available for men. Male officials tend to judge women more

40、favorably for positions of managers when the women display less "womanly" dressing----shorter hair, modest use of makeup, and plain tailored clothing. As one male official confessed, "An attractive woman is definitely going to get a longer interview, but she wont get a job." Please answer the fol

52、ceive Part III Translation (共25 分) Directions: Put the following into Chinese. Intellectual property scarcely existed in the vocabularies of U.S. academic researchers and administrators even 15 years ago. Now it is an ever-present part of discussions on research policies and directions.

53、 This new importance of intellectual property in academia reflects a changing view of the relationships of research universities to the surrounding society. Until recently, research at universities has been relatively isolated from demands of economic utility, and education of graduate students has

54、emphasized a career in academic research as the final goal. The university’s contentment with this relative isolation was affected by two major events of the late 1980s and early 1990s: the fall of the Berlin wall, leading to an expected decrease in military funding of research, and the emphasis on

55、balancing the federal budget----both producing a fear of a decline in federal funding of university research. The reaction on the part of the university has been to emphasize the benefits of taxpayer funding of research and to seek increased research support from industry. Intellectual property play

56、s an important part in both of these efforts. Part IV Writing (共25 分) Directions: For this part, you are required to write according to the outline given below. You should write at least 150 words following the outline given below in Chinese. The Popularity of Blog 1. 現(xiàn)在很流行寫博客。 2. 博客流行的

At the end of each passage, five questions will be asked about it. For the first three passages, you should read the four choices marked A, B, C and D, and

58、 decide on the best choice. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. For the last passage, you should write your answers to the questions on the Answer Sheet. Passage One The problems of the elderly are attracting greater attention largely because the American population is grow

59、ing steadily older as the proportion of its aged members increase. At the time of the first United States census in 1790, half of the people in the country were 16 or younger. By the turn of the present century the median age of the population had risen to 22.9 years; by 1970, it was 27.7; and by 19

60、77 it had reached 28.9; the median age will reach 35 by the year 2000, and will approach 40 by the year 2030. In time the burden of the years affects even the healthiest individual. Aging is accompanied by physiological changes that are not necessarily the result of any disease: apart from the more

61、 obvious signs of age ----such as baldness, wrinkling, changes in body form, and stiffness of limbs ---- there is a general process of atrophy of the cells and gradual degeneration. However, the rate of physiological aging varies greatly from one person to another. Some people show noticeable signs

62、of aging as early as fifty. Others seem relatively young and vital at seventy, and may even continue to enjoy a vigorous sex life. In general, however, ill health becomes more common with advancing age. More than three quarters of those over sixty-five suffer from some chronic health condition. But

63、 ill health need not have only physiological causes; it can have social and psychological causes as well. People tend to follow social expectations to fill the roles that are offered to them. In a sense, all we offer the aged is a sick role ---- the role of the infirm person who has outlived his or

64、her usefulness to society. An urbanized, industrialized society such as the United States is oriented toward youth, mobility, and activity. It does little to integrate the old into the social structure. Unlike the elders in a traditional society, the American aged can no longer lay automatic claim

65、on their kin for support and social participation; on the contrary, they are more likely to have to try not to be a “nuisance” to their now independent adult offspring. Nor are they regarded as the wisest members of the community as the elders in a traditional society would be; instead, any advice t

66、hey give is likely to be considered irrelevant in a changing world about which their descendants consider themselves much better informed. In America, childhood is romanticized, youth is idolized, middle age does the work, wields the power and pays the bills, and old age gets little or nothing for what it has already done. For many elderly Americans old age is a tragedy, a period of quiet despair, deprivation, desolation and muted rage. The tragedy of old age is no
