2019考研初试卷子在哪里批改,省份不同宽松程度也不同吗?

2019考研初试卷子在哪里批改,省份不同宽松程度也不同吗?我来谈谈!统考的试题由所在省份统一组织阅卷。包括考研政治和英语,这两门都是由所在省份统一组织阅卷。还有一些比如教育综合类的,这种由国家统一命题的也是由所在省份统一阅卷。至于专业课一般都是由报考院校阅卷。一、统一阅卷的科目考研的时候关于阅卷的问题,其实问的比较刁钻了。考研政治和英语是由你所报考的省份,在你考完之后,统一押运,由所在省份的教育厅统一组织人员阅卷,至于分数都是统一上报的。还有一些科目,我说了比如教育综合之类的专业,是由国家统一命题,全国凡是考教育类专业的同学,考试科目和难度都是一样的。这个也是由所报考的教育厅在考完之后,统一组织人员阅卷的。说白了,但凡国家统考,都是一张卷子,都是由所在省份统一阅卷。尤其以英语和政治为代表,理工科的数学也是一样,都是统一阅卷。二、专业课的阅卷至于专业课的阅卷都是由你所报考的高校组织人员阅卷。在每年的考研前一周,每个高校的研究生院会组织人员统一封装试题,就是大家在考研的时候那个信封的试题,这都是由你所报考的院校在考研前一周封装邮寄到各个考点的。等考完封装好,由各个考点统一发出,大概三天就能邮寄到各个高校。各个高校清点邮寄的份数,要和邮寄出去的时候份数一样,如果缺一两份,那麻烦就大了。哪怕是没有考的,没拆分的,都要原件寄回,上面写缺考就行了。这是由各个考点的监考老师进行的工作。各个高校陆续收到邮寄回的考题之后,清点无误以后。就开始拆分试卷,统计人数。把所有的试卷拆分好,按考试专业和科目装订起来(类似于糊名法),不能让阅卷老师看见考生的信息。最后由研究生院统一组织老师阅卷。三、考研是否存在宽松这个问题我还没有注意到,我只知道有难易,还不知有宽松这么个说法。考研英语和政治,还有数学都是由所在省份统一阅卷,都是比较公平公正的。不会存在所谓的宽松吧。如果说真宽松,估计就是你的主观题可能会有宽松吧。至于专业课,每个高校出的专业课其实都是比较简单的,没有特别变态的(但也不排除有变态难的题),专业课一般都是主观论述的比较多,只要你答的差不多,老师们阅卷的时候都会给很高的分数,这个倒是不要太担心。但是,如果你不会,还乱写,瞎编,那就比较麻烦了。这样很容易激怒老师,那分数你想想,肯定不会太高。所以,我一直在强调说,考研的时候,专业课也是一个拉分项,大家复习的时候,不能放松对专业课的复习。

2020考研英语试题难度太大?考研英语国家线变化都有哪些规律?

2020年考研英语结束后很多学生在感叹:今年英语试题太难了,考生们纷纷表示考研英语阅读理解难度难出新高度,新题型难度也比往年要大。但是我们客观理性的分析,从历年考研英语结束后考生们的反映来看,每年考生考完英语后都会有相似的反应,那就是每年考生都会觉得自己年份的英语试题难度大。这里面既有考生个人发挥的因素影响,也有眼光局限的问题。由于考生没有经历过多次考研,因此很难真正判断考研英语真题的难度如何。2020考研英语试题难度太大?考研英语国家线变化都有哪些规律?考研英语不管难度如何变化,作文、翻译、完形填空难度基本难度变化不大,其实考生感觉考研难度大的也仅仅是考研英语阅读理解而已,另外新题型很多学生觉得难,但是这部分题对考生分数影响有限,一方面是因为分值比较低,另一方面是因为即使题简单,考生也很少做全对,即使题变难了,考生也可能会做正确三个左右,因此新题型试题难度变化对考生最后成绩影响不大,反而是考研英语阅读理解难度对考生最后成绩影响比较大。因此尽管很多考生都在吐槽2020考研英语太难了,认为考研英语阅读理解难度比较大,比去年考研英语阅读理解难度高,但是客观理性地讲难度也没有高出太多,整体难度没有高出往年多少,只能说难度高了一些,但是并不能说太难,考生复习到位还是能够得出正确答案,考出理想的成绩。既然考研英语难度不是太大,那么考研英语国家线变化都有哪些规律呢?根据自己对考研的研究,认为总体上讲考研英语国家线变化有三个基本规律,一是考研英语国家线如果上涨或者下降,变化幅度大概在1-5分范围以内。从近10年考研英语国家线变化来看,基本上如果考研国家线上升最多也是提高5分。二是考研英语国家线很少连续几年一直提高,考虑到2019年考研英语国家线大部分专业已经提高,因此判断2020考研英语国家线会继续提高的可能性并不是很大,但是很可能会保持在2019年的水平。三是经管类专业和文学专业考研英语国家线一直为各个专业最高,理工科专业考研英语国家线比较低,即使上升也是在0分多一点,对于理工科学生难度不大,农学这些冷门专业考研英语国家线最低,考生压力最小。

2019考研:你的试卷是这样被批阅的,阅卷老师没空细看?

考研阅卷正在进行中,其实每个地方的阅卷还是存在一定差异的,但是请大家放心,严格的地方都严格,所以大家不用纠结这个。那么大家的试卷是怎么被批阅的呢?阅卷老师真的没空细看吗?1、网传的阅卷旱水区网友们根据各个地方批阅试卷的标准总结了一份旱水区指南,仅供大家参考,当然部分地区如北京、浙江、四川的批卷是历任被认为是非常严格的,被网友评为“玩命极旱区”也不是没有道理的。而评判的标准跟大家所在区域整体的水平也是有关系的,一线城市所在地教育资源发达,整体答卷水平比较高,阅卷老师自然会严格一点。2、阅卷分工合作,各司其职阅卷工作不仅仅是有阅卷组的老师,还包括纪检组、符合组、后勤组等,总共分为6个小组。6个小组分工合作、各司其职,一起配合完成阅卷工作。阅卷老师在阅卷之前会进行培训,然后进行试批,根据大家批阅情况来统一批阅标准,毕竟有的老师严格,有的老师毕竟和蔼,同样一个阅卷组不能执行不同的标准。阅卷完毕后会有纪检组来进行抽检,复合组主要负试卷的复核和分数登记。所有阅卷老师必须佩戴证件才能进行阅卷区,阅卷区禁止携带任何通讯设备!3、阅卷老师没空细看通过对一线阅卷老师调研反馈来看,阅卷工作的节奏非常快,阅卷老师是没有空来仔细阅读你写的是什么的,基本上是扫一眼找关键字,如果找不到那么很可能就不会给分,具体各科打分情况如下。政治阅卷:首先政治的客观题是机器扫描打分的,主题题是没有标准答案的,阅卷老师拿到的是参考答案,所以政治的答案就是见仁见智,只要你能自圆其说结合材料都不会给低分的。英语阅卷:英语阅卷主观题部分主要是翻译和作文,阅卷老师平均每天要批阅800份试卷,所以都是非常快速的,只能看一下大概,如果你把关键句子放在显眼位置那么就很容易得高分。数学阅卷:数学阅卷是采取的“按步骤给分”,即便你最后结果没有算对,但是中间步骤是对的也是有分的。专业课阅卷:专业课是邮寄到你报考院校的,通常都是组织导师们一起阅卷,导师们阅卷一般都会比较照顾的,大家只要不空着都会适当给分的。上述就是每年阅卷的基本情况,阅卷非常快,所以书写工整,要点标明的同学会占很大优势的!

2019年考研英语二试题难度仅相当于英语六级水平?网友:真的吗

在2019年研究生考试结束后,很多考生都在网上吐槽今年的考研英语一的试题难度太高,一些阅读理解里面的词汇都成为了网上的热搜,比如说单词rural debate等单词都成为了微博的热搜,在百度上也一时间成为了网友争分吐槽的话题。而一些考生事后吐槽说考研英语二的试题难度和英语六级相当,所以考研英语二没什么可复习的,仅仅复习英语六级就可以了,还可以得高分。事实真的如此吗?考生复习先了解一下考研英语。考研英语分为英语一和英语二,一般报考学术型硕士研究生的考生,考研英语考英语一,而对于报考专业型硕士研究生,考研则会考英语二。之所以进行区分,是因为学术型硕士研究生和专业型硕士研究生培养目标不同,学硕是为了培养学术人才,要进行国外大量文献的阅读,才能了解最新的学术成果。而专业型硕士研究生则是为了培养适应企业实际需求的应该型人才,因此对考研英语的考察与学硕相比,考察的侧重点不同,难度有所降低。可以看到英语二的难度明显会低于考研英语一的难度,一般考研英语一成绩在60的同学,他们考研英语二的成绩会在70分左右,而简单的认为考研英语二的难度就和英语六级的难度相当,这是不妥的。英语复习就考研英语和英语六级出题来看,一个是教育部考试中心进行命题,一个是大学英语四六级委员会出题,二者出题的思路和风格不同,前者是选拔考试,后者是能力考试。你六级425分及以上就过了,但考研英语各个专业国家线不一样,不是简单滴过了某个分数线就可以了。就考察的内容来看,由于考研不考听力,所以只分析考研英语二和英语六级相互对应的题型。就考研英语二的阅读理解和英语六级的阅读理解来看,考研英语二的阅读难度要明显的高于英语六级的阅读难度,二者在单词和长难句的理解上,明显考研英语二难度略大一些。就英语六级阅读来看,做一篇阅读的时间大概是15分钟以内,但是考研二英语阅读的做题时间明显会高于15分钟,而且考研英语二的选项的设置更加地刁钻,排除各个选项不容易。而从考研英语二的作文和六级的作文来看,难度不是很大,作文这一部分差异不大。最后从完形填空来看,英语二的难度要比六级的完形填空难度要略高,并不是很容易的就可以做出来。考场外复习从历史来看,考研英语二也只是新生事物,在2010年开始推行,在工商管理硕士英语联考的基础上完善形成,最初的考研英语二确实相对简单,但是后来逐渐地提高了考试的难度,在过去考研英语二的难度比英语六级难度要低,但是现在从阅读理解来看,考试难度已经比英语六级略大了。就每年的考研国家线来看,英语二的国家线大部分的专业分数线在44分上下,还有部分专业是30%左右,大体上是总成绩的45%,而英语六级425及格,大体上总分的60%。因此虽然每年很多学生说英语二难度低于六级,但是从考生总体成绩看,考研英语二的难度高于英语六级的难度。从每年考生的复习准备来看,英语六级很多考生都是准备了3个月或者2个月的很多,但是对于考研英语而言,大部分考生都是准备了8个月甚至更长的时间,考研英语二的复习周期要大于英语六级,但是成绩又如此之低,远远低于英语六级,可以对比出考研英语二的难度大小。因此我们从出题命题、考察内容、历史对比、成绩线对比可以明显看出考研英语二的难度要高于英语六级的难度(听力除外)。而大家又有什么观点和看法,欢迎讨论。

自言自语

2020考研:考试试题难度可能会有哪些变化?老师:注意四点

2020考研再有十天左右就要开考,现在考研已经进入了最后复习阶段。很多考研学生都在担心今年的考研试题难度会不会变,怕试题难度加大自己考试成绩分数低过不了国家线,因此心理压力有些大。那么2020考研考试试题难度可能会哪些变化呢?作为老师,结合自己近几年对考研的观察,认为考生需要注意这四点变化。具体内容如下。第一,考研英语一阅读难度可能会提高。2019考研英语一的阅读理解和新题型的难度比2018年的难度相差无几,2019年全国英语一的平均分是48.59分,2018年的平均分是48.61分,因此二者难度持平。但是考虑到2019年的考研英语国家线很多专业已经提高了5分左右,而随着今年考研报考人数的继续增加,如果难度不变,那么考研英语国家线还会继续提高,因此意味着2020考研英语试题难度将会提高,以发挥考研英语的门槛作用。第二,政治选择题难度略有提高,材料题难度一般。从2019考研政治试题分析来看,单选题的难度并不大,而多选题的个别题有一定的难度,材料题难度一般,考生结合平时学习的内容就可以轻松得分。而从2020考研来看,考研政治更会侧重时事政治类试题的考察,这类试题内容多,考生不容易区分,因此在多选题部分难度会有所提高。而在单选部分政治经济学内容的考察可能会难度加大。而材料题的难度预计和往年持平。第三,数学难度可能会提高。从近五年的考研数学分数线来看,无论是数一、数二,还是数三,试题难度大概都是偶数年份难度略高,而奇数年份难度低一些。这一点可以从数学全国平均分可以看出来,2016年数学平均分比2015年低,2017年数学平均分又比2016年高,而2018年的数学平均分又比2017年分数要低,2019年数学平均分要比2018年数学平均分高。结合这几年的分数线变化来看,预计2020考研数学的难度将会略有提高,数学平均分将会比2019年的分数要低一些。第四,专业课难度呈现“两极分化”。回顾2019考研,可以看到一些自主划线的大学,他们的专业课分数线不是特别高,而且很多学生的专业课考试成绩甚至低于学校规定的分数线。但是反观一些普通大学的专业课考试,可以发现这些学校的专业课考试成绩都特别的高,而且随着招生难度的加大,预计2020考研普通大学的专业课考试难度不会太高,但是985等大学的考研专业课试题难度将会有一定的难度。对于2020考研,大家还有哪些问题和看法呢?

2020考研人注意了,考研英语真题应该这样做

都说考研英语的真题要多做几遍多研究,那这几遍到底应该怎么做呢?怎么研究真题才能让它利用率达到最大呢?小编在本文总结了一下英语真题到底应该怎么做、做几遍,希望给大家带来帮助。一、按考试模式练习在掌握考研英语基础知识后,要尽快开始考研英语真题复习。第一遍的时候就要严格按照考试时间,并且创造一个最贴近考试的环境来完成真题。试题每一部分都要认真做好,包括作文部分也要认真书写。做完真题后考生可对照参考答案,对自己的做题效果做一个简单的自我评估,并仔细对照。正确了解自身的英语实力,在此基础上,着手准备相对应的复习计划。二、翻译真题并整理长难句做完题目之后要对原文进行翻译,翻译时无需逐字逐句,但要将“解题域”部分的长难句准确无误地翻译出来。通过这个过程纠正自己的翻译思维,提高翻译能力。如果翻译的不正确,别气馁,努力找出原因并加以改正。如果是单词中的“一词多义”造成的翻译障碍,词典可以帮助同学们。如果这个句子是长难句,我们更需要花大量的时间来理解,找出各个句子成分,并掌握句式原理。提醒大家,真题中的经典长难句要尽量整理到笔记本中,便于作为后期的写作素材。三、分析错误选项做完题目并正确修正以后,要分析出题人为什么设置某些错误选项,这些错误的选项是否有可辨别的特征。我们可以把自己放到出题人的角度来对待错误选项,如果单纯的从考生的角度思考错误选择项,很可能会百思不得其解,而在把握原文的基础之上把自己看成出题人情况就会很不同。这是提高考试能力的一个很重要的方法,经过一系列的训练能从出题人的思路把握选择项的时候,就是我们真正的知彼知己,拿下考研英语的时候。四、再次模拟真题最后再像第一遍那样去做历年真题,总结出题技巧以及自己的应对策略。这一遍做题目的是再次深化贴近出题人思维方式,争取达到自己看到一篇文章时,看题目之前就大致知道会出哪方面的题。应试策略和前面几遍的分析是分不开的,做好前四遍的复习,第五遍你定会有惊喜发现。真题往往需要考生们反复分析,且每次都有不同的方法和重点。掌握正确复习方法考生才能循序渐进不断进步,直到将真题吃透。大家做的过程中,注意使用铅笔去图画,尽量少留点痕迹在卷面上,或者也可以把你的真题试卷拆分下来,拿到打印店进行复印,特别是一些网上打印店,价格通常比线下的便宜很多。

2019考研:英语单词太难?别生气,看看老外的汉语试卷就平衡了

2019考研:英语单词太难?别生气,看看老外的汉语试卷就平衡了最近内容匠人听说一个消息,英语试卷好像很难的样子。没经历过考研的匠人不知道英语试卷最高能难到什么程度,不过大家别难过,学习外语的不仅仅是我们,还有很多老外盯着中文试卷,说我们的词语太难。不信的话,跟内容匠人一起来看看吧!2019考研:英语单词太难?别生气,看看老外的汉语试卷就平衡了。随着我国综合国力的发展壮大,我们的汉语也渐渐走进老外的视野中。现在世界各国都有中国的孔子学院,全球也有好多人开始学习汉语,我们的汉文化也会越来越国际化。其实汉语跟英语比起来,要难得多,但说一字多音和一词多义就好了。匠人还记得曾经有一个笑话,讲的是一个老外入住中国酒店的故事。一个老外入住中国酒店之后,刚进酒店便看到前方有一个牌子,上面写着“小心地滑”。老外机灵一动,穿着自己的皮鞋开始了滑冰之旅。服务生看到这位先生动作太危险,便前去制止:先生,您这样太危险了。老外一脸茫然:不是你们在门口的牌子上写着“小心地(de)滑”吗?当时这个笑话让匠人笑了一阵,顺便还感叹了一下我们汉语言文化的博大精深。不过,看看下面这些老外汉语考试的试卷,更能让大家笑得合不拢嘴。其实这张试卷对于我们来说简直是太简单。不过匠人猜测,出题老师应该很喜欢“面条”,什么拉面申请、方便面申请、刀削面申请等等,为何不来一个西红柿打卤面申请?如果有的话,应该很多老外选择,毕竟三长一短选长的嘛。相对上面那张试卷,这张试卷就要友善很多了,生怕老外不识字,给大家标上了拼音。但是标上拼音有什么用呢?老外们还是跟着感觉走。比如:我的爸爸是医生,妈妈是……沙发。不好意思,这个梗真的很好笑,而且从试卷上的叉叉看出来,这个答案也是很认真的选出来的。跟作文题比起来,上面的翻车现场根本不算啥。大家请欣赏一下这位老外考生的作文。从整篇作文的开头部分看来,踢足球、打棒球都没有什么问题,后面就有问题了:我养一些宠物,一个蛇、一个狗、两个恶妇?什么样的东西是恶妇呢?想想还蛮有趣的,内容匠人也想养一个呢。笑归笑,最后内容匠人想声明一点。其实不管是我们学外语,还是外国人学汉语,刚开始都是很难的。需要不断积累词汇量、不断练习、不断培养自己的语感。但是内容匠人坚信,多学知识总是没有错的,毕竟活到老,学到老嘛!所以,考研党们,看到老外的试卷,有没有心里平衡点了呢?

(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.
