2019年英语一、二考研作文真题和完整版答案,赶快来对答案喽!

导语:2019年英语一、二考研作文真题和完整版答案,赶快来对答案喽!2019考研英语(一)图画作文是让考生写出坚持的重要性,题目描述的是两个人在爬山,一个人太累想停下来,另外一个人给他递了一瓶水,告诉他要坚持下去。针对本题,文都考研教学研究院提供2019考研英语(一)真题答案大作文参考范文一篇如下:【题目】52. Directions:Write an essay of 160-180 words based on the following picture.In your essay, you should1) describe the picture briefly.2) interpret its intended meaning, and3) give your comments.【参考范文】The cartoon provides us with a thought-provoking scene: two men are climbing a hill, but one of them desires to give up e to tiredness, while the other one encourages him to keep going.Undoubtedly, the cartoonist aims at reminding us of the significance of persistence. At the top of the list, we should attach importance to perseverance mainly e to that it can enable us to ameliorate ourselves so we can be qualified for future career promotion, and be ready for meeting the forthcoming challenges.What’s more, we ought to place a high value on the role played by persistence in personal growth. Put it another way, in this ever-changing world, perseverance is to personal growth what water is to fish. To sum up, if persistence misses our attention in any possible way, we will suffer a great loss beyond imagination.Hence, it is vital for us to derive positive implications from the above cartoon. For one thing, we should frequently use it to enlighten the young. For another, we should cultivate the awareness of teenagers that it is very vital to keep going toward our goals. Only by doing so, can we become winner in the face of difficulties.【参考范文译文】这个漫画给我们呈现了一个发人深思的情景:两人正在爬山,但是其中一个人因为疲劳想要放弃,而另一个人鼓励他继续下去。毫无疑问,图画的作者旨在提醒我们坚持重要性。首先,我们应该重视坚持,主要是因为坚持可以让我们完善自身,这样我们未来才有资格得到职业生涯的进步,才能做好准备迎接以后的挑战。另外,我们也应该重视坚持在个人成长方面的作用。在这个多变的时代,坚持对于个人成长就像水对于鱼一样重要。 换言之,如果我们以任何可能的形式忽视坚持,我们将遭受非常巨大的损失。因此,从以上图画中得出积极的含义非常重要。一方面,我们应该经常用它来启迪年轻人。另外一方面,我们应该培养青少年重视坚持的意识。只有这样,我们才能成为困难面前的赢家。各位考研学子,明天继续加油,祝考出好成绩!考研必胜!

2020考研英语一阅读理解试题分析,难度不大,试题考察全面

昨天2020考研英语考试结束后,很多学生都在讨论今年考研英语的难度怎样,尤其是考研英语阅读理解很多学生说自己当时在考场上没有看明白,前两篇自己基本上都是蒙的,后两篇基本上还可以读懂,为此为了验证考生关于2020考研英语阅读理解的难度,老师我今天亲自做了2020考研英语阅读理解,在做完以后,感觉今年考研英语其实难度并不大,考察学生逻辑思维推理能力和阅读能力,生僻词汇也不多,阅读理解的单词和词汇完全在考研词汇范围以内。2020考研英语一阅读理解试题分析,难度不大,试题考察全面。第一篇阅读理解在四篇阅读理解当中属于难度最大的,但是难度最大并不代表不能做对,第一篇阅读理解词汇会比较生疏,但是考生大致应该可以读明白,是关于“town of culture”为主题的阅读,试题第21-25中,第21题、第24题、第25题属于常规难度题型,试题设置的四个选项迷惑性并不大,尤其是考察坐着态度的第25题基本上属于送分题,即使文章没看懂,但是大概看一遍也可以了解作者的态度。第23题和第24题属于拉开成绩的试题,在原文中难以找到答案,需要考生结合文章语句进行逻辑推理才能判断。考生做对3个试题的难度不大。第二篇阅读理解是关于科学和论文出版方向的阅读理解,文章生僻词汇量小,第26-30题的选项设置没有第一篇的难度大,整篇文章共5段,考生阅读起来难度不大。第26题考察原因,在第一段就可以得出正确答案。第27题属于推理性试题,结合文章的第二段和第三段就可以得出答案,难度并不大。第28题考察作者的态度,也属于送分题。第29题属于细节题,需要考生在第段落中寻找答案,考生如果心理状态紧张就很难做对。第30题属于寻找特征题,需要从整篇文章来分析,难度不大。个人认为考生应该做对4-5个题。第三篇阅读理解是关于美国女性平等法案的文章,文章第一段阅读生僻词汇多,但是以后的段落阅读难度并不大,第31题考察作者观点或者态度,基本上第一段找出答案,第一段最后一句话意思其实已经变大了作者的态度。第32题考察法案的哪一个选项是正确的,我们从第4段已经可以知道unconsitision意思是不符合宪法的意思,已经可以得出答案。第33题在第7段中可以得出正确答案,这类举例题的答案依据就在上一句。第34题难度比其他题难度大一些,第35题需要从整篇文章阅读以后才能得出答案,结合文章意思可以得出答案。个人认为应该做对4个题,难度不大。第四篇阅读理解是关于法国征收数字税的文章,文章阅读难度不大,在四篇阅读理解中应该是最容易的一篇。第36题考察法国征收数字税的目的,从第一段第一句就可以得出答案。第37题需要从第二段中推理,但是难度也不大,可以看到征收数字税会导致美国的反应可以得出答案。第38题考生容易做错,但是属于考生平时练习经常做过的试题,从第四段最后一句可以得出答案。第39题需要从第五段中寻找答案,但是文章中并没有直接给出答案,但是可以看到经济组织的当前工作充满不确定性。第40题考察文章主题,需要选择正确文章题目,难度不大,考生只要紧紧抓住文章主题数字税就可以得出正确答案。个人认为这篇阅读理解正常情况下考生应该做对5个。以上就是2020考研英语一阅读理解四篇文章的试题分析,可以说难度并不大,并没有考生考完以后所说的难度难,考生只要平时多做题就会得高分,四篇阅读理解无论是长难句,还是选项的迷惑性都在历年考研真题中属于中等水平试题考察的做题技巧都很全面,难度并没有超过以往的难度。

最新超全!考研英语真题排行榜(英一篇)

考研就像上战场,没有一件适合自己的兵器怎么行呢?但是市面上的参考书太多了,尤其英语这种老大难的公共课,到底什么样的书才是适合自己的?下面就来给大家列出,考研英语真题排行榜,帮你找到适合自己的参考书~TOP6《考研英语真题100篇》1这本书的内容讲解很丰富,100篇中的前50篇都是一字一句地讲解,而且所有的句子都有句子图解。2书中文章讲解的间隙有单词注释,本意是方便同学们理解文章,但是字号有点小了,看起来比较费功夫。3各个题型也没有特别系统的解题方法,仅对试题选项进行了分析,讲解稍稍有些繁琐。4真题不是很全,仅挑了100篇作讲解,考研肯定是要把真题都过一遍的,所以这本显得有点鸡肋。TOP5《真题真练》1全真考场排版,字号,字边距,页面布局都是严格按照考试要求来的,还配备了答题卡。虽然很多书也说自己是仿真排版,但考过就会发现,多少有些出入,这个就完全不会。2价格便宜。四十多块钱,真的太便宜了!3答案讲解也很详细,每道题都有详细的选项分析,告诉你选什么,为什么,讲的还是很有条理的,很易懂的。4文章没有讲解,只有译文。这个书主要是为了刷题,所以文章讲解方面比较粗糙,如果想要认真梳理文章,积累语法和单词就不太够用了。5单色印刷,看起来不是很清晰。TOP4《考研英语(一)真题超精读》1书中对真题文章的每一句都进行了解析,对必考词汇进行了注释。但句子讲解不是特别详细,语法讲解较简单,且均为文字讲解,稍显枯燥。2试题讲解比较详细,可以不断修正自己的做题思路。3双色印刷,中英对照双栏排版,清晰好查。4句子是文字讲解,稍显枯燥,看起来不够直观。5解题技巧中规中矩,没啥亮点。6试题里有一些小的印刷错误,比如“breed”写成“bred”,不过没啥大影响。TOP3《考研大趋势(历年英语真题细解与复习指导》1同样是讲解真题,这本亮点是标注了真题文章来源,能帮我们全面了解真题选材的背景。2书里配有和词汇相关的“考研英语词汇考点逐词精讲”视频,也是免费的。帮助同学们梳理词汇,巩固记忆。3采用双色印刷,清晰直观。4相比于其他书籍,单词注释较简单,仅注释了单词词义和用法;句子只挑重难点的长句分析。5试题解析比较简单,更适合有一定基础的学生。TOP2《历年考研英语真题解析及复习思路》(黄皮书)1这本书的亮点是书里的“语篇分析和总结”版块,对文章的行文思路和句子间的逻辑关系讲得很详细深入,如果大家仔细研究的话对我们把握解题的关键点很有帮助。2.全书双色印刷,排版比较清晰。3对真题文章中的重点词汇集中做了注释(包括词义和经典搭配),方便直接积累单词。4句子讲解是挑选了文章中一些较复杂的长难句进行详细解析。讲解比较简洁直观,适合英语有一定的基础且理解这力较好的同学用,基础不好的人接受起来比较困难(曾经的我不愿意接受自己基础不好的人设,所以被虐了一遭)。5语篇分析虽是亮点,但是使用效果因人而异。在完全理解文章的前提下,我们能很快识别各个试题的命题陷阱,掌握解题的重点。不能完全理解文章的话,可能会干扰到你现有的解题习惯。TOP1《考研真相》1讲解详细!!!最详细!前面提到的书要么只精细的分析长难句,要么分析每个句子,但用的方法是文字讲解。只有这本做了结合,对最新20年真题文章的每一句都进行了比较全面详细的图解分析,一层层分析句子的主干和修饰成分。2对每个句子中出现的重点词汇也进行了详细注释(包括词性、词义、熟词僻义、词根词缀、例句等)。而且一大亮点是,它还标注了单词的重要程度,方便大家在复习的时候有侧重点的掌握。3它的解题方法比较系统,提出了一套完整的解题思路,路径一从题干出发,回原文找答案;路径二从选项出发,回文定位排除干扰项。所有题目都能用这两个方法搞定,简单粗暴,但是有效。4配有同步的名师视频课程讲解和真题录音。报辅导班什么的都比较贵,但这个配套讲解视频是完全免费的,基础不好、看不懂书的童鞋可以配合视频来消化知识点,学习效果会更好。每本书各有特点,适合不同人群,不同复习阶段使用,大家只需要根据自己的情况,选择适合自己的就好。

考研英语一真题:考研真相or张剑黄皮书?

英语一的真题书有很多,我复习买书时,身边很多人推荐《考研真相》和黄皮书给我,为了今早复习,所以我就花费了几天时间,集中精力琢磨这两本书的区别和联系。我把自己找到的一些资料整理出来,希望可以帮助到更多和我一样,面临资料选择难题的人。一、外在因素对比1.书籍封皮:考研真相的封皮设计师黄白红三色,红色所占比例较大,三色搭配的还算可以,个人挺喜欢的;黄皮书之所以叫黄皮书,是因为全书通体黄色,这两本书在茫茫书海之中,算是比较容易辨别出来的。2.分册装订:两本书都是分册装订得,采用的均是双色印刷,这种设计相对来说是比较好的。有利于零取零看,便于随身携带,而且次重点相对突出,能够很快找到想要复习的重点知识,节约不少复习时间。3.书籍价格:这个是我在天猫上搜索的啦!《考研真相》的价格是40多元,黄皮书的价格在67元钱左右。二、书籍定位我是基础不怎么好的,单词语法差的不行,我感觉自己已经快无药可救了。所以就想找一本解析详细的书,当我看到真相中写的是基础薄弱者专用,我就想着是不是这本书更适合我,又因给我推荐黄皮书的人很多,所以我还是仔细研究了黄皮书。我发现黄皮书主要是讲解命题思路的,会稍微偏向于基础较好的人,拿到题目,对着解析看了一篇文章,仍旧没有多大感觉,基本上都不太会(估计是我基础太差了)。我害怕选择这本书我可能会比较吃亏,到头来复习效果会不理想,这也是我最后没买这本书的最大的原因了。三、内在精华对比我还会继续从两本书的内容具体来说,当然如果你不想了解,那就算了。1.基础知识《考研真相》的基础知识解析很详细,从词汇注释和语法解析详系解析。词汇注释的详细度可以媲美字典注释,字典中注释单词也就从音标、词性、词义、近反义词、相关词组和例句来讲的,书中的注释也详细到了如此,我学习遇到生单词,基本上没太查字典。语法知识把文章每句话的语法都进行详解,简单句是用简洁的语言来讲的,分析的还算透彻;长难句的解析是个图解,感觉会比较直观和清晰。黄皮书中对于基础知识也用的是词汇注释和语法解析,书中对于单词注释了音标、词性、词义,句子解析是把文章的长难句拿出来讲了,基本上和大多数书一样。我想这应该是归结于这本书的适用人群不同,主要是比较适合基础较好的人。我去知乎上找资料时,发现很多人似乎和我存在的好多问题是一样的,他们也存在对黄皮书文章看不懂,做题做不对的情况,估计是和我一样,基础不好吧!2.答案解析再就是两本书的答案解析啦!真相中的答案解析挺详细的,分了四个版块来讲,有选项表析、答案考点、定位分析和干扰项分析。选项表析可以帮助我们整体把握各个选项,有出处、特征和具体的翻译;在答案考点的帮助下,可以快速掌握命题方向和命题规律;定位分析主要是对正确选项回文定位,可以学会“回文法”做题;干扰项分析是用“排除法”进行做题,很不错的哦!黄皮书的答案解析同样给的也是表析、快速解题、正确项设置和干扰项设置,选项表析没有选项的出处和特征分析;其它的几个点也比较简单了。(原谅宝宝写的有点累,就不一一写了,大家自己看图哇~~)3.书籍的赠品资料还是说一下我的购物体验吧!我买书的时候是比较喜欢店家送小礼物的,尤其是比较实用的东西。《考研真相》中送了很多的电子资料,包含了词汇、语法、翻译点拨的PDF资料,还有“零元课”的免费视频赠送,有词汇、语法和技巧点拨等很多资料,可以下载到手机上,随时进行学习。黄皮书中送的资料有词汇背诵宝典和8年真题资料,都是文本资料,电子资料也有很多的啦!也还不错的,只是不是很适合像我这种基础不好的人学习。

Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. (40 points)Text 1A group of labour MPs, among them Yvette Cooper, are bringing in the new year with a call to institute a UK "town of culture" award. The proposal is that it should sit alongside the existing city of culture title, which was held by Hull in 2017 and has been awarded to Coventry for Zozl. Cooper and her colleagues argue that the success of the crown for Hull, where it brought in220m of investment and an avalache of arts, out not to be confined to cities.Britain' town, it is true are not prevented from applying, but they generally lack the resources to put together a bit to beat their bigger competitions. A town of culture award could, it is argued, become an annual event, attracting funding and creating jobs.Some might see the proposal as a boo by prize for the fact that Britain is no longer be able to apply for the much more prestigious title of European capital of culture, a sought-after award bagged by Glasgow in 1990 and Livorpool in 2008. "A cynic might speculate that the UK is on the verge of disappearing into an endless fever of self-celebration in its desperation to reinvent itself for the post-Brexit world: after town of culture, who knows that will follow-village of culture? Suburb of culture? Hamlet of culture?It is also wise to recall that such titles are not a cure-all. A badly run "year of culture"washes in and out of a place like the tide, bringing prominence for a spell but leaving no lasting benefits to the community. The really successful holders of such titles are those that do a great deal more than fill hotel bedrooms and bring in high-profile arts events and good press for a year. They transform the aspirations of the people who live there; they nudge the self-image of the city into a bolder and more optimistic light.It is hard to get right, and requires a remarkable degree of vision, as well as cooperation between city authorities, the private sector, community groups and cultural organisations. But it can be done: Glasgow's year as European capital of culture can certainly be seen as one of complex series of factors that have turned the city into the power of art, music and theatre that it remains today.A "town of culture" could be not just about the arts but about honouring a town's peculiarities-helping sustain its high street, supporting local facilities and above all celebrating its people and turn it into action.21. Cooper and her colleagues argue that a "town of culture" award could [A] consolidate the town-city ties in Britain.[B] promote cooperation among Britain's towns.[C] increase the economic strength of Britain's towns.[D] focus Britain's limited resources on cultural events.22. According to Paragraph 2, the proposal might be regarded by some as [A] a sensible compromise.[B] a self-deceiving attempt.[C] an eye-cotching bonus.[D] an inaccessible target.23. The author suggests that a title holder is successful only if it [A] endeavours to maintain its image.[B] meets the aspirations of its people.[C] brings its local arts to prominence.[D] commits to its long-term growth.24. Glasgow is mentioned in Paragraph 3 to present [A] a contrasting case.[B] a supporting example.[C]a background story.[D] a related topic.25. What is the author's attitude towards the proposal?[A] Skeptical[B] Objective[C] Favourable[D] Critical答案(21-25)21.D focus Britain's limited resources on cultural events.22.B a self-deceiving attempt.23.D commits to its long-term growth.24.B a supporting example.25.C Favourable.Text2Scientific publishing has long been a licence to print money, Scientists need journals in which to publish their research, so they will supply the articles without monetary reward. Other scientists perform the specialised work of peer review also for free, because it is a central element in the acquisition of status and the proction of scientific knowledge.With the content of papers secured for free, the publisher needs only find a market for its journal. Until this century, university libraries were not very price sensitive. Scientific publishers routinely report profit margins approaching 40% on their operations, at a time when the rest of the publishing instry is in an existential crisis.The Dutch giant Elsevier, which claims to publish 25% of the scientific papers proced in the world, made profits of more than f 900m last year, while UK universities alone spent more than f 210m in 2016 to enable researchers to access their own publicly funded research;both figures seem to rise unstoppably despite increasingly desperate efforts to change them.The most drastic, and thoroughly illegal, reaction has been the emergence of Sci-Hub, a kind of global photocopier for scientific papers, set up in 2012, which now claims to offer access to every pay walled article published since 2015. The success of Sci-Hub, which relies on researchers passing on copies they have themselves legally accessed, shows the legal ecosystem has lost legitimacy among its users and must be transformed so that it works for all participants.In Britain the move towards open access publishing has been driven by funding bodies.In some ways it has been very successful. More than half of all British scientific research is now published under open access terms; either freely available from the moment of publication,or pay walled for a year or more so that the publishers can make a profit before being placed on general release.Yet the new system has not worked out any cheaper for the universities. Publishers have responded to the demand that they make their proct free to readers by charging their writers fees to cover the costs of preparing an article. These range from around500 to $5,000.A report last year pointed out that the costs both of subscriptions and of these "article preparation costs" had been steadily rising at a rate above inflation.In some ways the scientific publishing model resembles the economy of the social internet:labour is provided free in exchange for the hope of status, while huge profits are made by a few big firms who run the market places. In both cases, we need a rebalancing of power.26.

But all too often such policies are an insincere form of virtue-signaling that benefits only the most privileged and does little to help average people.A pair of bills sponsored by Massachusetts state Senator Jason Lewis and House Speaker Pro Tempore Patricia Haddad, to ensure "gender parity" on boards and commissions, provide a case in point.Haddad and Lewis are concerned that more than half the state-government board are lessthan40 percent female. In order to ensure that elite women have more such opportunities, they have proposed imposing government quotas. If the bills become law, state boards and commissions will be required to set aside 50 percent of board seats for women by 2022.The bills are similar to a measure recently adopted in Califomia, which last year became the first state to require gender quotas for private companies. In signing the measure, California Governor Jerry Brown admitted that the law, which expressly classifies people on the basis of sex, is probably unconstitutional.The US Supreme Court frowns on sex based classifications unless they are designed to address an "important" policy interest, Because the California law applies to all boards, even where there is no history of prior discrimination, courts are likely to rule that the law violates the constitutional guarantee of "equal protection".But are such government mandates even necessary? Female participation on corporate boards may not currently mirror the percentage of women in the general population, but so what?The number of women on corporate boards has been steadily increasing without government interference. According to a study by Catalyst, between 2010 and 2015 the share of women on the boards of global corporations increased by 54 percent.Requiring companies to make gender the primary qualification for board membership will inevitably lead to less experienced private sector boards. That is exactly what happened when Norway adopted a nationwide corporate gender quota.Writing in The New Republic, Alice Lee notes that increasing the number of opportunities for board membership without increasing the pool of qualified women to serve on such boards has led to a "golden skirt "phenomenon, where the same elite women scoop up multiple seats on a variety of boards.Next time somebody pushes corporate quotas as a way to promote gender equity,remember that such policies are largely self-serving measures that make their sponsors feelgood but do little to help average women.31.The author believes that the bills sponsored by Lewis and Haddad will [A] help little to rece gender bias.[B] pose a threat to the state government.[C] raise women's position in politics.[D] greatly broaden career options.32. Which of the following is true of the Califormia measure?[A] It has irritated private business owners.[B] It is welcomed by the Supreme Court.[C] It may go against the Constitution.[D] It will settle the prior controversies.33. The author mentions the study by Catalyst to illustrate [A] the harm from arbitrary board decision. [B]the importance of constitutional guarantees.[C] the pressure on women in global corporations.[D] the needlessness of government interventions.34.

Which of the following can be inferred from the text?[A] Women's need in employment should be considered.[B] Feasibility, should be a prime concern in policy making.[C] Everyone should try hard to promote social justice.[D] Major social issues should be the focus of legislation.答案(31-35)31.A help little to rece gender bias.32.C It may go against the Constitution.33.D the needlessness of government interventions.34.C the entry of unqualified candidates into the board.35.B Feasibility should be a prime concern in policymaking.Text4 :Last Thursday, the French Senate passed a digital services tax, which would impose an entirely new tax on large multinationals that provide digital services to consumers or users in France. Digital services include everything from providing a platform for selling goods and services online to targeting advertising based on user data, and the tax applies to gross revenue from such services. Many French politicians and media outlets have referred to this as a"GAFA tax," meaning that it is designed to apply primarily to companies such as Google,Apple, Facebook and Amazon-in other words, multinational tech companies based in the United States.The digital services tax now awaits the signature of President Emmanuel Macron, who has expressed support for the measure, and it could go into effect within the next few weeks.But it has already sparked significant controversy, with the Unite Sates trade representative opening an investigation into whether the tax discriminates against American companies,which in turn could lead to trade sanctions against France.The French tax is not just a unilateral move by one country in need of revenue. Instead,the digital services tax is part of a much larger trend, with countries over the past few years proposing or putting in place an alphabet soup of new international tax provisions. These have included Britain's DPT (diverted profits tax).Australia's MAAL (multinational antiavoidance, law), and India's SEP (significant economic presence) test, to name but a few. At the same time, the European Union. Spain,Britain and several other countries have all seriously contemplated digital services taxes.These unilateral developments differ in their specifics, but they are all designed to tax multinationals on income and revenue that countries believe they should have a right to tax,even if international tax rules do not grant them that right. In other words, they all share a view that the international tax system has failed to keep up with the current economy.In response to these many unilateral measures, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) is currently working with 131 countries to reach aconsensus by the end of 2020 on an international solution. Both France and the United States are involved in the organization's work, but France's digital services tax and the American response raise questions about what the future holds for the international tax system.France's planned tax is a clear warning: Unless a broad consensus can be reached on reforming the international tax system, other nations are likely to follow suit, and American companies will face a cascade of different taxes from dozens of nations that will prove burdensome and costly.36.The French Senate has passed a bill to [A] regulate digital services platforms.[B] protect French companies interests.[C] impose a levy on tech multinationals.[D] curb the influence of advertising.37. It can be learned from Paragraph 2 that the digital services tax [A] may trigger countermeasures against France.[B] is apt to arouse criticism at home and abroad.[C] aims to ease international trade tensions.[D] will prompt the tech giants to quit France.38. The countries adopting the unilateral measures share the opinion that [A] redistribution of tech giants' revenue must be ensured.[B] the current international tax system needs upgrading.[C] tech multinationals' monopoly should be prevented.[D] all countries ought to enjoy equal taxing rights.39. It can be learned from Para 5 that the OECO's current work [A] is being resisted by US companies.[B] needs to be readjusted immediately.[C] is faced with uncertain prospects.[D] needs to in involve more countries.40. Which of the following might be the best title for this text?[A] France Is Confronted with Trade Sanctions[B] France leads the charge on Digital Tax[C] France Says "NO" to Tech Multinationals[D] France Demands a Role in the Digital Economy答案(36-40)36.C impose alevy on tech multinationals.37.A may trigger countermeasures against France.38.B the current international tax system needs upgrading39.C is faced with uncertain prospects.40.B France leads the charge on Digital TaxPart B Directions:In the following text, some sentences have been removed.

(10 points)[A] Eye fix actions are brief[B] Too much eye contact is instinctively felt to be rude[C] Eye contact can be a friendly social signal[D] Personality can affect how a person reacts to eye contact[E] Biological factors behind eye contact are being investigated [F] Most people are not comfortable holding eye contact with strangers[G] Eye contact can also be aggressive.In a social situation, eye contact with another person can show that you are paying attention in a friendly way, But it can also be antagonistic such as when a political candidate turns toward their competitor ring a debate and makes eye contact that signals hostility.Here's what hard science reveals about eye contact: We know that a typical infant will instinctively gaze into its mother's eyes, and she will look back. This mutual gaze is a major part of the attachment between mother and child. In althood, looking someone else in a pleasant way can be a complimentary sign of paying attention. It can catch someone's attention in a crowded room, "Eye contact and smile" can signal availability and confidence, a common-sense notion supported in studies by psychologist Monica Moore.42. Neuroscientist Bonnie Augeung found that the hormone oxytocin increased the amount of eye contact from men toward the interviewer ring a brief interview when the direction of their gaze was recorded. This was also found in high- functioning men with some autistic spectrum symptoms, who may tend to avoid eye contact. Specific brain regions that respond ring direct gaze are being explored by other researches, using advanced methods of brain scanning.43. With the use of eye-tracking technology, Julia Minson of the Harvard Kennedy School of Government concluded that eye contact can signal very different kinds of messages,depending on the situation. While eye contact may be a sign of connection or trust in friendly situations, it's more likely to be associated with dominance or intimidation in adversarial situations. "Whether you' re a politician or a parent, it might be helpful to keep in mind that trying to maintain eye contact may backfire if you' re trying to convince someone who has a different set of beliefs than you," said Minson.44. When we look at a face or a picture, our eyes pause on one spot at a time, often on the eyes or mouth. These pauses typically occur at about three per second, and the eyes then jump to another spot, until several important points in the image. are registered like a series of snapshots. How the whole image is then assembled and perceived is still a mystery although it is the subject of current research.45. In people who score high in a test of neuroticism, a personality dimension associated with self-consciousness and anxiety, eye contact triggered more activity associated with avoidance,according to the Finnish researcher Jari Hietanen and colleagues "Our findings indicate that people do not only feel different when they are the centre of attention but that their brain reactions also differ." A more direct finding is that people who scored high for negative emotions like anxiety looked at others for shorter periods of time and reported more comfortable feelings when others did not look directly at them.答案(41-45)41.

(10points)Following the explosion of creativity in Florence ring the 14h century known as the Renaissance, the modern world saw a departure from what it had once known. It turned from God and the authority of the Roman Catholic Church and instead favoured a more humanistic approach to being. Renaissance ideas had spread throughout Europe well into the 17h century,with the arts and sciences flourishing extraordinarily among those with a more logical disposition. (46) with the Church's teachings and ways of thinking eclipsed by the Renaissance,the gap between the Medieval and modern periods had been bridged leading to new and unexplored itellectual territories.During the Renaissance, the great minds of Nicolaus Copernicus, Johannes Kepler and Galileo Galilei demonstrated the power of scientific study and discovery. (47) Before each of their revelations many thinkers at the time had sustained more ancient ways of thinking.including the geo-centric view that the Earth was a the centre of our universe. Copernicus theorized in 1543 that all of the planets that we knew of revolved not around the Earth, but the Sun, a system that was later upheld by Galileo at his own expense. Offering up such a theory ring a time of high tension between scientific and religious minds was branded as heresy and any such heretics that continued to spread these lies were to be punished by imprisonment or even death.(48) Despite attempts by the Church to suppress. this new generation of logicians and rationalists, more explanations for how the universe functioned were being made at a rate that the people could no longer ignore.It was with these great revelations that a new kind of philosophy founded in reason was born.The Church's long- standing dogma was losing the great battle for truth to rationalists and scientists. This very fact embodied the new ways of thinking that swept through Europe ring most of 17h century. (49) As many took on the ty of trying to integrate reasoning and scientific philosophies into the world, the Renaissance was over and it was time for a new era-the Age of Reason.The 17h and I8h centuries were times of radical change and curiosity, Scientific method,rectionism and the questioning of Church ideals was to be encouraged, as were ideas of liberty, tolerance and progress. (50) Such actions to seek knowledge and to understand what information we already knew were captured by the Latin phrase' sapere aude' or dare to know',after Immanuel Kant used it in his essay" An Answer to the Question: What is Enlightenment?".It was the purpose and responsibility of great minds to go forth and seek out the truth, which they believed to be founded in knowledge.答案(46-50)46.随着教会的教义和思维方式在文艺复兴时期黯然失色,中世纪与现代之间的鸿沟得以弥合,从而出现了新的及尚未开发的知识领域。47.在每个真理揭示之前,当时的许多思想家都采用了更古老的思维方式,仍旧沿用以前的思维模式,其中包括认为地球是宇宙中心的地球中心说。48.尽管教会试图镇压这-代逻辑学家和理性主义者,但人们对宇宙如何运转的解释却越来越多,并且以-种不容忽视的速度在增加。49.当许多人承担起将理性科学的哲学融入世界的责任时,文艺复兴时代已经结束,并且开启了一个新的时代。50.此类寻求知识和了解已知信息的行为被拉丁语概括为:“sapere aude"即"敢于求知”作文Section ll WritingPart A51.
