2020考研英语一样题

2020考研英语刚刚结束，英语一整体难度适中，与近几年的真题思路接近一致，关于翻译部分，五个长难句依旧各有难度，文章背景主要讨论文艺复兴时期的思维变化，整体词汇有一定难度，今天文都考研英语将为同学们总结翻译考点，并和同学们分享翻译相关的复习方法。考点一：With引导的随从状语与被动关于with的状语翻译，真题中：With the Church's teachings and ways of thinking being eclipsed by the Renaissance，直接可以译为：随着...，与主句进行连接；本句中状语还有被动结构，被动处理的两种方法：变为主动和保持被动，在本句可以译为主动：在文艺复兴时期黯然失色。考点二：同位语从句的翻译关于同位语从句的翻译，今年在真题中为：including the geo-centric view that the Earth was at the centre of our universe. 可以看出同从修饰名词view，同学们要注意区分同从和定从的区别，后面从句的内容进一步解释说明前面观点，译文可以用“即”或者冒号连接两句话，译为：其中包括地球中心说的观点，即：地球是宇宙中心。考点三：修饰成分的翻译翻译的一个难点就是处理好句中的修饰，并且能还原成正常的中文语序，在这个过程中可以适当更改单词词性和语义，在真题中：attempts by the Church to suppress this generation of logicians and rationalists，名词attempts由两个介词短语进行修饰，在翻译时，根据语义进行调整：尽管教会试图镇压这一代逻辑学家和理性主义者。考点四：状语从句的翻译除了修饰的处理，有些长难句难点在于整个句式结构上，尤其是状语从句的考察，今年的真题中，出现了as引导的状从：As many took on the ty of trying to integrate reasoning and scientific philosophies into the world，as在句中引导的时间状语从句，意为：当许多人承担起将理性科学的哲学融入世界的责任时。考点五：长难句主干的识别五个翻译句子中，对长难句主干的识别尤为重要，在今年真题中：Such actions to seek knowledge and to understand what the information we already knew were captured by the Latin phrase 'sapere aude' or 'dare to know'. 整个句子为一句话没有明显的断句标志，在找主干时，可以先找出核心谓语动词were captured，前面部分为主语，后面为状语，整理后主干为：such actions were captured by...。以上为今年的翻译重点解析，关于翻译复习上，建议同学们平时除了积累词汇，还需要进行长难句的断句识主干练习，每星期练习30个句子，并且在练习过程中将修饰成分全部标出，经过练习一定能在翻译模块取得不错的进步。

考研的时候养成了一个习惯，就是找很多很多相关平台和论坛，然后刷各种攻略，刷着刷着，60min过去了，刷着刷着又60min过去了，然后发现攻略其实也没什么用。这真的不是攻略的错，是你的打开方式不对。今天我们借着考研英语真题来看看应该怎么吸收攻略中分配学习的方法。1.纵观全局有很多介绍怎么利用英语真题的卷的，但发现有的同学连一共有多少套卷子都没概念。不仅仅是英语真题，其它科目或者书也一样，建议大家先看看目录哦，对整体学习内容有一个规划，在考研中更是这样，无论你是从什么时候开始准备的，一定更要有一个整体的规划，规划到12月份的那种。2.做一个目标分解我们将整体学习内容做一个简单的分解。通常24套卷子我会分成三类，94年-02年共9套卷子，03年-10年共8套卷子，11年-18年共8套卷子，最近的8套当然放在最后当模拟题做。在时间不充分的情况下，94年-02年的卷子先练练手，对照答案进行简单的更正，不进行非常仔细的精读了。而03年-10年的8套卷子就要进行精读了，从单词，长难句，阅读，作文，都进行仔细的分析。最后的8套卷子，那就要掐着时间做模拟，并进行精读后再复盘，最好是提前复印一份再做一次。3.计划落实，做星期计划计划再好，也需要落实，这也是最重要的一步。很多事情想得美，但是做起来却十分困难。要把计划落实，我建议做好一周计划，这周要完成哪些，每天要完成什么，之所以说周计划而不是天计划，那是给自己一个机动的时间，必将计划永远赶不上变化。英语真题如何分配就写到这里了，以上都是经验之谈，大家要根据自己的情况决定哦。作者：DD姐，毕业两年，多重身份。待字闺中，移动互联网广告行业摸打滚爬者，周日日托班老师，曾经的资深在职考研者。

嗨，这里是小恬的第8篇文章。前几天有些感冒，于是断更。现继续跟大家分享一些内容，也是对自己的督促。今日主要内容是真题中完型和阅读一内不容易掌握的单词、短语，当然只是小恬个人经验，希望有所帮助。一、完型：it was the case事实上it was once the case在以前partaken of 吃serve up 端上来come across as 看上去像 / 听起来像 / 给人的感觉是just end up with最终只会是……结果 / 最终只会以……结束/最终只会culinary 烹饪的render呈现spurn摈弃compound化合物neurological神经学的carcinogenic致癌的cancerigenic(肿瘤)致癌的precautionary预先警示的exhortantion训道词nannying保姆的resemblance相似之处reluctantly不情愿地，勉强地二、阅读一be confined to局限在for a spell持续一阵子sought-after广受欢迎的high-profile高调的self-deceiving 自我欺骗的post-Brexit 英国脱欧后(post ……之后Br 英国；exit 出)endeavour to do竭力commit to投入于prestigious有声望的prominence突出，锋芒，高潮oynic愤世嫉俗的reinvent改造，革新speculate推测aspiration意愿，愿望nudge推动comsolidate巩固bolder大胆的skeptical怀疑的

嗨，这里是小恬的第七篇文章。在前面六篇文章中，小恬已经把一篇完型、四篇阅读和一篇七选五翻译完毕（点击蓝字链接即可阅读）2020考研英语一真题翻译22020考研英语一真题翻译32020考研英语一真题翻译42020考研英语一真题翻译52020考研英语一真题翻译6剩余的翻译、作文部分因为大家都有答案，就准备只将三道题目翻译一下。另外为了感谢大家的收藏和分享，小恬打算在文末跟大家分享一下完型、阅读和七选五的答题技巧，都是干货啦。第三部分 翻译仔细阅读以下文本，然后将画横线部分翻译成中文。你的翻译应该整洁地书写在答题卡上。（10分）第四部分 写作A部分你的大学的学生会安排你通知国际学生一个即将到来的歌唱音乐会。写一则百字左右的公告。将你的答案写在答题卡上。在公告里不要用你自己的名字。B部分根据下面的图片写一篇160到200字的文章。在文章中，你应该:1、简要描述图片2、说明隐含意义3、给出你的观点将答案写在答题卡上。（20分）考研英语真题答题技巧分享:一、完型1.梳理介词意义考研英语对常见单词考得很细，尤其是介词（如to, by, with用于连接句子成分）、连词（如since, if, unless, while可用于连接句子）这些种类的单词，本身数量并不多，更容易掌握。备考时将这些词语统计一下，一个一个对照词典查好共有哪些意义，还有相互之间的辨析，如20年真题的in, on, at, under。2.犹豫不决时，将候选单词分别放上去默读，选择通顺的那个。如完型最后一题，just end up with就比just follow up with通顺，也是最恰当的。二、阅读理解1.分类型做题。一般看完文章后，不要立刻答题，而是先看题目类型。对于文章主要内容learn from the text、文章标题best title of the text的可以作答，因为考察的是文章主要内容和思想倾向，这在文章总是重复出现而且第一印象会比较深刻。而题目限定了某一段（出现Paragraph）、某个人、某个机构（句中单词首字母会大写如第二篇文章的Elsevier，第三篇文章的Catalyst,甚至以缩略词出现,整个单词大写，如第四篇文章OECO）的时候，需要回到文章，寻找对应的目标。此时不要太相信自己的记忆完全依靠它来作答，因为记忆是偏向总体性、主观的，而细节是部分的、客观的，往往会有出入。2.利用出题顺序。一般来说，细节理解题的顺序与文章段落顺序一致，寻找答案时可以依据段落顺序寻找。例如，如果第一题对应了第一段，第二题的就在第二三段，搜索关键词的时候可以不用看第一段和比较后的段落。如第四篇文章，第37题提到Paragraph 2（第二段）,第39题提到Paragraph 5（第五段），那么第38题肯定在第三、四段找。3.原文与答案对比。此时需要细心对照，一般完全不同和完全相同的可以直接排除。出现原文同义词的大概率是正确答案。如第36题，选项的impose a levy 和原文的impose a…… tax, 选项的 tech multinationals和原文的multinationals that ……digital services 就是部分完全相同，部分同义词替换。三、七选五1.锁定关键词。七选五一般是一段选一句，我们需要从段落层面概括每一段的大意，提炼核心，再与七个句子的关键词比对，挑选最适合的一项。2.注意修饰词。七个句子一般都不是长句，每个单词都有其存在的意义，不能随便删除，故而其中的修饰词必须在上下文中有所体现。如G选项的could also be，也，那么前文肯定出现过与主语eye contact或者表语aggressive相同或者相反的单词。对比C选项can be friendly，可以判断的是，如果C和G两个选项都需要选进文中，C填入的空格肯定在G前。尤其注意定语（如选项的most, biological, friendly），它们或是它们的同义词需要在对应的段落出现。当然，所有答题技巧都要靠实力支撑，否则也只能沦为奇技淫巧。考研初试英语实力，主要靠的单词和语法基础。再次推荐一下新概念系列，多看、多读、多分析其中的文章，搞定语法和单词。这门课程对提升听说能力也大有裨益。祝大家初试第一、复试第一、总分第一，成功上岸！

Even if families are less likely to sit down to eat together than was once the case, millions of Britons will none the less have partaken this weekend of one of the nation's great traditions: the Sunday roast. 即使家庭成员不像以前那样频繁聚餐了，但是数百万英国人周末依然会参加英国最大的传统活动之一：周末烤肉大餐。(生词：less...than 比……少 than was once the case比以前as was once the case和以前一样none the less 依然 partake 参加，吃)周日烤肉大餐Ona cold winter's day, few culinary pleasures can match it. 在一个寒冷的冬日，没有什么烹饪乐趣比得过它了。（生词：culinary烹饪的，厨房的）Yet as we report now , the food police are determined that this enjoyment should be rendered into another guilty pleasure guaranteedto damage our health.但是正如我们报道的那样，食品监督部门断定吃的快乐肯定会变成有损健康的自责。(生词：the food police 食品监督部门 render 致使，造成 be rendered into 变成 be guaranteed to do sth. 肯定去做某事 )The Food Standards Authority (FSA) has issueda public warning about the risks of a compound called acrylamide that forms in some foods cooked at high temperatures. 英国食品标监局警告民众注意一种在高温烹饪食物过程中产生的致癌物质——丙烯酰胺的化学物质的危险。（生词：FSA 英国食品标准局issue 发布，发行 that forms... high temperatures是acrylamide 的定语从句。at high temperatures在高温下）This means that people should avoidcrisping their roast potatoes, spurn thin -crust pizzas and only partially toast their bread. 这就意味着人们应该避免吃炸土豆片，薄脆披萨和烤面包。（ 生词：crisp 使食物变脆 roast 在火上或者火炉中把食物烤焦 crust 面包皮，外壳 toast 在火上或者火旁把食物烤脆，烤成黄色 partially toast 指把面包的表皮烤焦 ）But where is the evidence to support such alarmist advice?但是支持这么危言耸听的建议的证据在哪里呢？（生词：alarmist 危言耸听的）Whilestudies have shown that acrylamide can cause neurological damage in mice, there is no conclusive evidence that it causes cancer in humans. 尽管研究已经表明丙烯酰胺能够致老鼠神经损坏，但是没有确凿的证据证明它会致人癌症。（生词：while 位于句首引导让步状语从句，意为“尽管”neurological神经上的，神经学的 conclusive 令人信服的，确凿的 that it ... in humans是evidence的同位语从句。）Scientists say the compound is likelyto be “carcinogenic” but have no hard scientific proof . 科学家说这种化学物质有可能致癌，但是没有有力的科学依据。On the basis ofthe precautionary principle, it could be argued that it is advisable to follow the FSA advice.根据预防性原则，可以说采纳英国食品标监局的建议是明智的。（生词：on the basis of 根据，依据 precautionary小心的，预先警戒的 It could be argued that... 可以说…… advisable 明智的，可取的） After all, it was rumored that smoking caused cancer for years before the evidence was found to prove a connection.别忘了，人们传言吸烟致癌许多年后才找到证据证明二者有关。（生词: it was rumored that ...人们传言……）Doubtless a piece of boiled beef can always be servep on Sunday alongside some steamed vegetables, without the Yorkshire pudding and no wine. But would life be worth living? 毫无疑问，周日上桌的总是煮牛肉和蒸熟的蔬菜，没有约克郡布丁，没有酒。但是那样的话，生活还值得过吗？生活还有意思吗？（生词：Doubtless毫无疑问serve 服务，端上serve meal 端菜，上饭 alongside 和……一起）约克郡布丁To be fair,the FSA says it is not telling people to cut out roast foods entirely , but rece their lifetime intake.公平地讲，FSA说不是让人们完全不吃烤制食物，而是减少烤制食物的摄入量。（生词：to be fair公平地讲 cut out放弃 intake摄入,摄取,吸入）However their campaignrisks coming across as exhortation and nannying. Constant health scares just end up with no one listening.但是他们的这一倡导冒着被人们当作是极力劝戒和担心过度的风险。不断担心健康就会以没人听而告终。（人们会觉得FSA太过于夸大其危害，杞人忧天，所以没有人听，也不再担心健康问题了。）（生词：campaign 运动，活动，战役 come across 碰到，偶遇，发现 exhortation极力劝戒 nannying过度保护 end up with以……结束）1.

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。

2020考研英语二真题及答案【作文】！真题：一个饼图：60%用来学习知识，21%用来消磨时间，4%是其它，17%是获取信息。高校学生手机阅读目的调查【参考范文-网络版】As is vividly depicted in the chart, it provides the information concerning the reading purpose of college students by mobile phones in a certain university.To be specific, the percentage of learning is 58%, which is biggest among the four categories. Meanwhile, acquiring information, entertaining and others account for 28%, 12% and 2% respectively.Without a doubt, the real purpose of the chart is to tell us that a majority of college students read their phones for study rather than have fun. On one hand, with the rapid development of science and technology, our smart phones become increasingly convenient for students to study. Instead of taking numerous books in their bags, they prefer to put significant learning materials into their phone and then they can read them at any place they want. On the other hand, the present college students are under huge competitive stress. As a result, they are aware of the significance of learning in college,where they should enhance their knowledge and skills to cope with the challenges and obstacles in the years to come.Taking above reasons into consideration, we could firmly believe that the tendency will continue in the forthcoming years.小作文：真题Directions:Suppose you are panning a tour of historical site for a group of international students1) Say something about the site2) give some tips for the tourYou should write about 100 words on the ANSWER SHEET.Do not use your own name at the end of the email.

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. Scientific publishing is seen as "a licence to print money" partly because [A] its funding has enjoyed a steady increase.[B] its marketing strategy has been successful.[C] its payment for peer review is reced.[D] its content acquisition costs nothing.!27. According to Paragraphs 2 and 3, scientific publishers Elsevier have [A] thrived mainly on university libraries.[B] gone through an existential crisis.[C] revived the publishing instry.[D] financed researchers generously.28. How does the author feel about the success of Sci-Hub? [A] Relieved.[B] Puzzled.[C] Concerned.[D] Encouraged.29.

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. Norway's adoption of a nationwide corporate gender quota has led to [A] the underestimation of elite women's role[B] the objection to female participation on boards.[C]the entry of unqualified candidates into the board.[D] the growing tension between labor and management.35. 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.

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.

Nevertheless, the boy in the right picture is sitting in front of the desk and saying that he will not finish the homework until the last minute.Undoubtedly, the symbolic implication of the pictures is to show us that importance should be attached to the formation of good habits, especially the good habit of time management. On the one hand, efficient time management is critical to personal development. As the old saying goes,“Time is money," and in the fast-paced modern life, it seems that we always have a lot of things to do and we are very busy.

If we can develop the good habit of time management, we are much more likely to improve efficiency and have a better performance in the learning and working process, which is anintegral part of social advances and prosperity.From what has been mentioned above, we can come to the conclusion that the sense of efficient time management skills is of equal importance in personal and social progress.Therefore,we ought to take advantage of the phenomenon to enlighten the public and the press is expected to take a lead in advertising the value of developing good time management habits.

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。
