1999年考研英语阅读理解第一篇—这是一篇法律题材的文章

原文+翻译:It’s a rough world out there.外面是一个危险的世界。Step outside and you could break a leg slipping on your doormat.迈出家门时,你可能会滑倒在门垫上,而摔伤一条腿。Light up the stove and you could burn down the house.点燃炉灶时,你可能会把房子烧掉。Luckily, if the doormat or stove failed to warn of coming disaster, a successful lawsuit might compensate you for your troubles.不过还算幸运的是,如果门垫或炉灶上没有警示语提醒你可能发生的危险,那么一场成功的诉讼或许可以补偿你所受的伤害。Or so the thinking has gone since the early 1980s, when juries began holding more companies liable for their customers’ misfortunes.这种想法大约自20世纪80年代初开始传播,那时陪审团开始认为更多的公司应对其客户所遭受的不幸负责。Feeling threatened, companies responded by writing ever-longer warning labels, trying to anticipate every possible accident.由于感到了威胁,公司方面做出了反应:写出越来越长的警示语,力图预先标明种种可能发生的事故。Today, stepladders carry labels several inches long that warn, among other things, that you might -- surprise! -- fall off. The label on a child’s Batman cape cautions that the toy “does not enable user to fly.”如今,活梯上贴着几英寸长的警告标签,除了其他警告事项外,还警告你可能会摔下来,简直是莫名其妙!贴在儿童的蝙蝠侠披风上的标签也告诫说,本玩具“无法让用户飞行”。While warnings are often appropriate and necessary -- the dangers of drug interactions, for example -- and many are required by state or federal regulations, it isn’t clear that they actually protect the manufacturers and sellers from liability if a customer is injured. About 50 percent of the companies lose when injured customers take them to court.虽然警示语常常是合理而必要的(如警告药物有相互作用的危险),并且很多是州或联邦法规所要求的,但是当消费者受伤时,这些警示语能否真正保护制造商和销售商使之免于承担责任,却还很难说,被受伤的消费者告上法庭的公司中,大约一半会败诉。Now the tide appears to be turning.现在这种趋势似乎正在转变。As personal injury claims continue as before, some courts are beginning to side with defendants, especially in cases where a warning label probably wouldn’t have changed anything.尽管个人伤害索赔案件如以往一样不断发生,但有些法庭已开始站到被告一方,特别是在处理那些有警告标签也可能无法避免伤害的案件时。In May, Julie Nimmons, president of Schutt Sports in Illinois, successfully fought a lawsuit involving a football player who was paralyzed in a game while wearing a Schutt helmet.五月份,伊利诺斯州的Schutt体育公司总裁朱利·尼蒙斯就成功地打赢了这样一场官司。一名橄榄球队员戴着该公司的头盔在一场比赛中受伤瘫痪,遂将该公司告上法庭。“We’re really sorry he has become paralyzed, but helmets aren’t designed to prevent those kinds of injuries,” says Nimmons. The jury agreed that the nature of the game, not the helmet, was the reason for the athlete’s injury.尼蒙斯说:“他成了瘫痪,我们非常难过,但我们设计头盔不是为了预防这类伤害的。”陪审团也认为造成该运动员受伤的是这项运动本身的危险性,而不是头盔。At the same time, the American Law Institute -- a group of judges, lawyers, and academics whose recommendations carry substantial weight -- issued new guidelines for tort law stating that companies need not warn customers of obvious dangers or bombard them with a lengthy list of possible ones.与此同时,美国法学会——一群说话举足轻重的法官、律师、学者——发布了新的侵权法指导原则,宣布公司不必警示顾客那些显而易见的危险,或者给顾客列出一份冗长的可能遇到的危险的清单。“Important information can get buried in a sea of trivialities,” says a law professor at Cornell law School who helped draft the new guidelines. If the moderate end of the legal community has its way, the information on procts might actually be provided for the benefit of customers and not as protection against legal liability.康奈尔大学法学院一位参与起草新指导原则的教授说,“重要的信息会淹没在细枝末节的汪洋之中”。如果该法律团体的这一适中的目标能够实现,产品上提供的警示信息就不再是为回避法律责任而设,而是为保护消费者利益而提供了。试题:51. What were things like in 1980s when accidents happened?[A] Customers might be relieved of their disasters through lawsuits.[B] Injured customers could expect protection from the legal system.[C] Companies would avoid being sued by providing new warnings.[D] Juries tended to find fault with the compensations companies promised.52. Manufacturers as mentioned in the passage tend to.[A] satisfy customers by writing long warnings on procts[B] become honest in describing the inadequacies of their procts[C] make the best use of labels to avoid legal liability[D] feel obliged to view customers’ safety as their first concern53. The case of Schutt helmet demonstrated that.[A] some injury claims were no longer supported by law[B] helmets were not designed to prevent injuries[C] proct labels would eventually be discarded[D] some sports games might lose popularity with athletes54. The author’s attitude towards the issue seems to be.[A] biased[B] indifferent[C] puzzling[D] objective答案:B C A D

辣姐妹

1999年考研英语阅读理解第二篇—这是一篇关于网络商务的文章

原文+译文:In the first year or so of Web business, most of the action has revolved around efforts to tap the consumer market.网上商务开始的第一年左右,大部分活动都围绕着开拓消费者市场而进行。More recently, as the Web proved to be more than a fashion, companies have started to buy and sell procts and services with one another.最近,随着网络被证实不仅仅是一种时尚,公司便开始(在网上)相互交易产品和服务。Such business-to-business sales make sense because businesspeople typically know what proct they’re looking for.公司之间的这种交易非常合理,因为商人都清楚地知道他们需要的是产品。Nonetheless, many companies still hesitate to use the Web because of doubts about its reliability. “Businesses need to feel they can trust the pathway between them and the supplier,” says senior analyst Blane Erwin of Forrester Research. Some companies are limiting the risk by concting online transactions only with established business partners who are given access to the company’s private intranet.不过,由于怀疑网络的可靠性,许多公司仍对网络的使用犹豫不决。弗瑞斯特研究所的资深分析员布兰·欧文说,“商家需要感受到,他们可以信赖自己和供应商之间的这种沟通途径”。有些公司为了降低风险,只与固定的贸易伙伴进行在线贸易,给予这些伙伴进入本公司局域网的权利。Another major shift in the model for Internet commerce concerns the technology available for marketing.网络商业模式的另一个重大变化与可用于营销的技术有关。Until recently, Internet marketing activities have focused on strategies to “pull” customers into sites.直到最近,因特网上的营销活动还集中在使用将用户“拉进”网站的策略上。In the past year, however, software companies have developed tools that allow companies to “push” information directly out to consumers, transmitting marketing messages directly to targeted customers.然而去年,软件公司开发出新的技术,使公司可以将信息直接“推出”给消费者,直接把营销信息传送给特定的用户。Most notably, the Pointcast Network uses a screen saver to deliver a continually updated stream of news and advertisements to subscribers’ computer monitors.最突出的例子是Pointcast网络,该网络使用一种屏幕保护系统,将最新的信息和广告不断地传送到用户的计算机显示器上。Subscribers can customize the information they want to receive and proceed directly to a company’s Web site.用户可以量身设定自己想要接收的信息,然后直接进入某个公司的网址。Companies such as Virtual Vineyards are already starting to use similar technologies to push messages to customers about special sales, proct offerings, or other events.像Virtual Vineyards这样的公司业已开始采用类似的技术将有关特价销售、产品促销或其他活动的信息“推”向用户。But push technology has earned the contempt of many Web users.但这种“推”的技术遭到许多网上用户的鄙视。Online culture thinks highly of the notion that the information flowing onto the screen comes there by specific request.在线文化推崇这样一个理念:流动到屏幕上的信息应是在专门的请求之后才出现。Once commercial promotion begins to fill the screen uninvited, the distinction between the Web and television fades. That’s a prospect that horrifies Net purists.一旦商业促销不请自来地充斥着电脑屏幕,那么网络和电视就没多大差别了。这种前景让网络净化者感到不安。But it is hardly inevitable that companies on the Web will need to resort to push strategies to make money.公司在网上并不是非得依靠“推”的策略方能挣钱。The examples of Virtual Vineyards, Amazon.com, and other pioneers show that a Web site selling the right kind of procts with the right mix of interactivity, hospitality, and security will attract online customers.像Virtual Vineyards 和Amazon.Com及其他开拓者的例子表明:一个销售适类商品的网站,如果将互动、热情服务、安全相结合,肯定会吸引网上用户的。And the cost of computing power continues to free fall, which is a good sign for any enterprise setting up shop in silicon. People looking back 5 or 10 years from now may well wonder why so few companies took the online plunge.计算机计算能力的成本持续下降,对任何建立了网上销售点的企业来说都是个好的征兆。回顾过去的5年或10年,人们或许会感到奇怪。为什么只有这么少的公司尝试网上销售呢?试题:51. We learn from the beginning of the passage that Web business.[A] has been striving to expand its market[B] intended to follow a fanciful fashion[C] tried but in vain to control the market[D] has been booming for one year or so52. Speaking of the online technology available for marketing, the author implies that.[A] the technology is popular with many Web users[B] businesses have faith in the reliability of online transactions[C] there is a radical change in strategy[D] it is accessible limitedly to established partners53. In the view of Net purists,.[A] there should be no marketing messages in online culture[B] money making should be given priority to on the Web[C] the Web should be able to function as the television set[D] there should be no online commercial information without requests54. We learn from the last paragraph that.[A] pushing information on the Web is essential to Internet commerce[B] interactivity, hospitality and security are important to online customers[C] leading companies began to take the online plunge decades ago[D] setting up shops in silicon is independent of the cost of computing power答案:A C D B

考研英语阅读理解模拟题

题材标签:教育难度等级: ★★★☆☆出题思路: 模拟2017年考研阅读Text 1短文出处:www.washingtonpost.com/opinions, 2018/5/16Text 11 When you are a writer who learns a beloved author has a dark side, you experience waves of disillusionment. When you teach that author’s work, you feel an additional stab of concern: What about my syllabus? As intellectual property goes, a great syllabus is a gold mine. Or perhaps a better metaphor would be a Jenga Game. Take away too many supporting pieces and the whole thing will topple.2 Do we continue to teach the work of people we now suspect of behaving unethically or abusively? News stories have suggested prominent writer Díaz may have acted in predatory ways. The Pulitzer Prize Board has launched an investigation of past Pulitzer winner Díaz regarding allegations that include forcibly kissing one author and verbally bullying another. As a reader, I’m devastated. As a teacher, I’ve got decisions to make.3 “Writers in Print and Person,” my class at American University, where I often adjunct, invites undergraates to alternate sustained analysis of a book with the opportunity to meet and question the author. Most of our craft learning is subsequently channeled through eight to 10 books assigned for annotation, a selection tailored to students indivially. Because of the particular scope of my responsibilities, and these modes of student learning, I have always emphasized the writer as a fully dimensioned being. What do I do when those dimensional flaws are revealed?4 Here’s what I can’t do: pretend that this is not happening. Much of the economy surrounding a contemporary writing career rests not just in what that author does on the page but what the person says at the microphone and in the classroom. I’ve never been a full-time academic. Yet I’ve served as a writer-in-residence four times. In other words, I cross paths with thousands of students, many of whom tell me about theiraspirations of becoming writers.5 These are students who wait in line afterward, sometimes for hours, so that the author can sign their copy of the book we put on the syllabus. These are the students who nervously apply for a faraway workshop, and then hustle to cover the expenses, so that they can work with a celebrated writer. These are the students who trust in both that writer’s aesthetic expertise and best intentions.6 I look back with deep regret at times I’ve recommended someone as a mentor, editor or visiting writer, unaware of a history of abusive attitudes.1. The well-known writer Díaz is mentioned to _____.A. stress he is a Pulitzer winnerB. reveal he fought an authorC. illustrate some writers have unethical behaviorsD. explain why I moved his works out of my syllabus.2. Which of the following is “my teaching method”?A. I ask my students to meet the writer to analyze his book.B. I want my students to understand the writer from different dimensions.C. Students are required to read eight to 10 books to find indivial taste.D. One of my responsibilities is to help students find the writer’s flaws.3. The word “aspiration” (Para. 4) is closest in meaning to _____.A. hateB. cheatingC. sadnessD. ambition4. What kind of students is mentioned here?A. The students who are eager to get the writer’s signature whose book on the syllabus.B. The students who want to join in a workshop.C. The students who have the same aesthetic expertise as the writer.D. The students who can publish an expensive book.5. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. Teach an Abusive Writer’s Work?B. Writer in Print and PersonC. How to Prepare a SyllabusD. My Regret答案:CBDAA出题思路:【1】The well-known writer Díaz is mentioned to .A. stress he is a Pulitzer winnerB. reveal he fought an authorC. illustrate some writers have unethical behaviorsD. explain why I moved his works out of my syllabus.这里想出一道 “论证型推理题”,也就是“论据A是为了说明论点B”这样的题目。该题的论据是由题干“the well-known writer Díaz”指向文中所述“Diaz是一个行为有问题的人”,论点则是四个选项。首先,确定正确选项:C:illustrate some writers have unethical behaviors(举例说明某些作家有不道德行为)。原文第2段开头说Do we continue to teach the work of people we now suspect of behaving unethically or abusively?(那些让我们现在怀疑行为粗暴、不道德的作家,我们是否继续教授他们的作品呢?)第2句话,作者并没有急于回答这个问题,而是举例什么人是那些不道德的作家。就提到News stories have suggested prominent writer Díaz may have acted in predatory ways.(新闻报道已经暗示著名作家迪亚兹可能有强暴式行为。)所以,Diaz就是前文提到的那些unethically or abusively中的一员。作者提到Diaz就是想举例说明的确有作家行为不道德,而不是作者自己的臆测。其次,设计干扰选项:选项A利用原文中Pulitzer winner一词,让那些没读懂文章,想蒙对答案的人上当。选项B的fought an author是对原文中bullying another的近义转写,让那些迷信“同义转述”的人上当。选项D利用第1段的syllabus迷惑考生。【2】Which of the following is “my teaching method”?A. I ask my students to meet the writer to analyze his book.B. I want my students to understand the writer from different dimensions.C. Students are required to read eight to 10 books to find indivial taste.D. One of my responsibilities is to help students find the writer’s flaws.这里想考第3段。发现第3段教学方法讲的很详细,就出一道多细节题,即每个选项对应一个细节,但错误选项在细节描述上不准确。首先,确定正确选项: B: I want my students to understand the writer from different dimensions.(我想让我的学生从不同角度理解作者)对应于原文I have always emphasized the writer as a fully dimensioned being.(我一直强调作者是一个全方位的存在)。出题技巧是paraphrase(同义转述)。其次,设计干扰选项:选项A利用meet来迷惑考生。在选项A中,因为没有上下文语境,所以meet the writer就是真正和writer“面对面”的见面。而原文中invites undergraates to alternate sustained analysis of a book with the opportunityto meet and question the author. (邀请本科生对一本书进行交替持续的分析,让他们有机会去认识和质疑作者)。原文中meet是学生和作者在“书中”见面,学生通过分析作品,了解作者。这种迷惑选项叫“去语境化”,也就是说原文中的词一定是“带语境”的词义,而选项中的词是“去语境”的词义,这两个词义不一样。选项C的设计是考虑到原文中与C对应的是一个难句,考察学生是否真的读懂了这个句子。读懂了,就不会选C。没读懂,因为数字10很醒目,就很可能选C。原文Most of our craft learningissubsequently channeledthrough eight to 10 books assigned for annotation, a selectiontailored to students indivially. 这句话的主要部分是Most of our craft learning is channeled (我们大部分写作技巧的学习被引导)。后面是through…books…, selection…(通过书和选集被引导)。什么样的书和选集呢?由被动的assigned, tailored修饰(被布置作业要求写注释的书引导,被针对学生个性化定制的选集引导)整个句子的翻译是:然后,让学生读八到十本书并做注释。我们大部分写作技巧的学习是通过这八到十本书的引导进行,这些书构成的选集是针对学生个性化定制选择的。选项D是用flaws做干扰,迷惑考生。【3】The word “aspiration” (Para. 4) is closest in meaning to _____.A. hate B. cheating C. sadness D. ambition这里出一道猜词题。对于出题老师来说,出这样的题比较轻松。词的意义一般要从上下文猜。这道题aspiration虽然出现在第4段,但它的意义要从第5段对那些学生的描写得出,知道学生们多么渴望成为作家,才能猜出ambition(雄心)这个含义。干扰项在这里没有太多设计。【4】What kind of students are mentioned here?A. The students who are eager to get the writer’s signature whose book on the syllabus.B. The students who want to join in a workshop.C. The students who have the same aesthetic expertise as the writer.D. The students who can publish an expensive book.这里又是一道多细节题,因为第5段提到学生们的多种经历。首先,确定正确选项:A: The students who are eager to get the writer’ssignature whose book on the syllabus.(学生渴望获得那些大纲上列出的书的作者的签名)因为原文:These are students who wait in line afterward, sometimes for hours, so that the author can sign their copy of the bookwe put on the syllabus. (这些学生是有时排队等候几个小时,只为了让教学大纲上的某本书的作者能够在书上签名。)其次,设计干扰选项:选项B用workshop迷惑考生,原文的重点不是学生参加workshop,而是“想和作者一起”参与workshop。选项C用aesthetic expertise迷惑,但意思和原文无关。选项D用expensive和expenses词形相似迷惑,意思和原文也无关。【5】Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. Teach an Abusive Writer’s Work?B. Writer in Print and PersonC. How to Prepare a SyllabusD. My Regret这里想出一道主旨题。这种题比较难出,主要是错误选项要有迷惑性,但又要与正确答案有区别,还要反映出读者一些错误的主旨总结习惯,所以比较难出。正确选项要出得大家都没有异议也有一定难度。首先,确定正确选项:A:Teach an Abusive Writer’s Work?(要教授行为粗鲁的作者的作品吗?) 因为第1段,第2段作者都提出了这个问题,但后面也没有答案。说明这就是作者文章的中心:提出一个这样的困惑。这篇文章的关键词是“writer”,这个词一定会包含在正确答案中。其次,设计干扰选项:所有干扰项设计采用了同一个策略,就是从段首句找醒目词。选项B是第3段的开头,但Writer in Print and Person只是作者开设的一门课程的名称。选项C利用Syllabus一次将考生目光引向第1段,但第1段作者提出Syllabus(大纲)的问题,只是作为引言,引起大家想象,如果大纲里很多作品的作者都有问题,那么大纲岂不要重写了吗?就像叠叠高游戏一样,很多支撑木块都抽掉后,叠叠高的塔就倒掉了。选项D利用regret一词将考生目光引向最后一段,但这一段只是作者的感慨。英汉对照:1 When you are a writer who learns a beloved author has a dark side, you experience(v.) waves of disillusionment. When you teach that author’s work, you feel an additional stab of concern: What about my syllabus? As intellectual propertygoes, a great syllabus is a gold mine. Or perhaps a better metaphor would be a Jenga Game. Take away too many supporting pieces and the whole thing will topple.当你是一位作家,知道了某位受人爱戴的作家有黑暗的一面,你会经历一波幻灭的浪潮。当你讲授这位作家的作品时,你会感到额外的担忧:我的教学大纲怎么办?随着知识产权的发展,优秀的教学大纲就是金矿。也许更好的暗喻是一种叠叠高游戏。拿走太多的支撑物,整个塔就会倒塌。2 Do we continue to teach the work of people we now suspectof behaving unethically or abusively? News stories have suggested prominent writer Díaz may have acted in predatory ways. The Pulitzer Prize Board has launched an investigation of past Pulitzer winner Díaz regarding allegations that include forcibly kissing one author and verbally bullying another. As a reader, I’m devastated. As a teacher, I’ve got decisions to make.我们继续讲授那些人的作品,那些让我们现在怀疑行为不道德、粗暴的人的作品吗?新闻报道已经暗示著名作家迪亚兹可能有强暴式行为。普利策奖委员会展开了调查对曾经的普利策奖得主迪亚兹,调查关于某些指控,包括强吻一名作者和口头辱骂另一位作者的指控。作为一名读者,我非常震惊。作为一位教师,我必须做出决定。3 “Writers in Print and Person,” my class at American University,where I often adjunct, invites undergraates to alternate sustained analysis of a book with the opportunity to meet and question the author. Most of our craft learning is subsequently channeled through eight to 10 books assigned for annotation, a selection tailored to students indivially. Because of the particular scope of my responsibilities, and these modes of student learning, I have always emphasized the writer as a fully dimensioned being. What do I do when those dimensional flaws are revealed?“作品中的作者和真正的作者”是我在美国大学上的一门课,在那里我经常兼职,并邀请本科生对一本书进行交替持续的分析,让他们有机会去认识和质疑作者。然后,让学生读八到十本书并做注释,我们大部分写作技巧的学习是通过这八到十本书的引导进行,这些书形成的选集是针对学生个性化定制选择的。由于我的职责的特定范围,以及学生学习的这种模式,我一直强调作者是一个全方位的存在。当那些有瑕疵的维度被揭露时,我该做什么?4 Here’s what I can’t do: pretend that this is not happening. Much of the economy surrounding a contemporary writing career rests not just in what that author does on the page but what the person says at the microphone and in the classroom. I’ve never been a full-time academic. Yet I’ve served as a writer-in-residence four times. In other words, I cross paths with thousands of students, many of whom tell me about their aspirations of becoming writers.我知道我不能做什么:假装这一切都没有发生。围绕着当代写作生涯的许多经济效益不仅仅在于作者在书上写了什么,而且在于他在麦克风和教室里说的话。我从来不是全职的学术型学者。然而,我曾四次作为住校作家。换句话说,我和成千上万的学生不期而遇,他们中的许多人告诉我他们有想成为作家的志向。5 These are students who wait in line afterward, sometimes for hours, so that the author can sign their copy of the book we put on the syllabus. These are the students who nervously apply fora faraway workshop, and then hustle to cover the expenses, so that they can work with a celebrated writer. These are the students who trust in both that writer’s aesthetic expertise and best intentions.这些学生是有时排队等候几个小时,只为了让教学大纲上的某本书的作者能够签上名字。这些学生紧张地申请一个远在外地的工作坊,然后赶紧支付费用,以便能跟一位著名作家学习。这些学生既相信作家的美学知识,又相信他们的最佳意图。6 I look back with deep regretat times I’ve recommended someone as a mentor, editor or visiting writer, unaware of a history of abusive attitudes.我回头想想,深感遗憾的是,有时我推荐某人做导师、编辑或访问作家,并没有意识到他态度粗鲁的过去。

冲霄楼

1999年考研英语阅读理解第四篇答案和全文翻译

原文+译文:When a Scottish research team startled the world by revealing 3 months ago that it had cloned an alt sheep, President Clinton moved swiftly. 三个月前,当一个苏格兰研究小组宣布他们克隆了一只成年绵羊时,世界为之震惊,克林顿总统迅速做出反应。Declaring that he was opposed to using this unusual animal husbandry technique to clone humans, he ordered that federal funds not be used for such an experiment -- although no one had proposed to do so -- and asked an independent panel of experts chaired by Princeton President Harold Shapiro to report back to the White House in 90 days with recommendations for a national policy on human cloning.他宣称反对利用这种非同寻常的畜牧业技术去克隆人,并下令禁止联邦资金用于此类实验——尽管还没有人提议要那样做——并要求一个由普林斯顿大学校长哈罗德·夏皮罗为首的独立专家小组,在九十天内拿出有关克隆人的国家政策的建议,向白宫汇报。That group -- the National Bioethics Advisory Commission (NBAC) -- has been working feverishly to put its wisdom on paper, and at a meeting on 17 May, members agreed on a near-final draft of their recommendations.这个名为“全国生物伦理道德顾问委员会”(NBAC)的小组一直在非常积极地工作,集思广益,并诉诸笔端;在5月17日的一次会议上,委员们就接近定稿的意见书取得了一致意见。NBAC will ask that Clinton’s 90-day ban on federal funds for human cloning be extended indefinitely, and possibly that it be made law.NBAC将要求克林顿总统禁止联邦资金用于克隆人的九十天禁令无限期地延长,并且还可能要求将之立法。But NBAC members are planning to word the recommendation narrowly to avoid new restrictions on research that involves the cloning of human DNA or cells -- routine in molecular biology.但是,NBAC成员们正计划在建议的措辞上更为严谨,以避免给克隆人体DNA或细胞等研究带来更多的限制——(这属于)分子生物研究中的常规课题。The panel has not yet reached agreement on a crucial question, however, whether to recommend legislation that would make it a crime for private funding to be used for human cloning.然而,该小组尚未在一个关键问题上达成一致,即是否建议立法机关将私人资金用于克隆人的行为法定为犯罪。In a draft preface to the recommendations, discussed at the 17 May meeting, Shapiro suggested that the panel had found a broad consensus that it would be “morally unacceptable to attempt to create a human child by alt nuclear cloning.”在5月17日会议上讨论的建议序言草案中,夏皮罗表示,专家组已取得广泛的共识,认为“试图利用成人细胞核去克隆婴儿将是违背道德伦理的”。Shapiro explained ring the meeting that the moral doubt stems mainly from fears about the risk to the health of the child. The panel then informally accepted several general conclusions, although some details have not been settled.夏皮罗解释说在与会期间,道德上的怀疑主要源于对婴儿健康的担忧。随后,该小组非正式地接受了几项概括性的结论,尽管有些细节尚无定论。NBAC plans to call for a continued ban on federal government funding for any attempt to clone body cell nuclei to create a child. Because current federal law already forbids the use of federal funds to create embryos (the earliest stage of human offspring before birth) for research or to knowingly endanger an embryo’s life, NBAC will remain silent on embryo research.NBAC计划呼吁继续禁止为任何企图利用人体细胞核去制造婴孩的做法提供联邦政府基金资助。因为现行的联邦法律已经禁止联邦基金用于制造研究用的胚胎(人类后代出生前的最早阶段)或有意识地危及胚胎的生命,所以NBAC在胚胎研究这一问题上将保持沉默。NBAC members also indicated that they will appeal to privately funded researchers and clinics not to try to clone humans by body cell nuclear transfer. NBAC的成员明确表示,他们将呼吁受私人基金资助的研究人员和诊所不要尝试通过人体细胞核转移来克隆人。But they were divided on whether to go further by calling for a federal law that would impose a complete ban on human cloning. Shapiro and most members favored an appeal for such legislation, but in a phone interview, he said this issue was still “up in the air.”但他们在是否进一步要求联邦立法强令完全禁止克隆人这一问题上存在分歧。夏皮罗和大多数委员赞成将此立法,但在电话采访中,他透露这一议题仍“悬而未决”。试题:51. We can learn from the first paragraph that.[A] federal funds have been used in a project to clone humans[B] the White House responded strongly to the news of cloning[C] NBAC was authorized to control the misuse of cloning technique[D] the White House has got the panel’s recommendations on cloning52. The panel agreed on all of the following except that.[A] the ban on federal funds for human cloning should be made a law[B] the cloning of human DNA is not to be put under more control[C] it is criminal to use private funding for human cloning[D] it would be against ethical values to clone a human being53. NBAC will leave the issue of embryo research undiscussed because_.[A] embryo research is just a current development of cloning[B] the health of the child is not the main concern of embryo research[C] an embryo’s life will not be endangered in embryo research[D] the issue is explicitly stated and settled in the law54. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that.[A] some NBAC members hesitate to ban human cloning completely[B] a law banning human cloning is to be passed in no time[C] privately funded researchers will respond positively to NBAC’s appeal[D] the issue of human cloning will soon be settled答案:B C D A

考研英语:2000年~2004年真题作文全解析

这一篇小文,小编就给大家解析一下2000年~2004年考研英语的五篇作文,帮助大家更好地把握考研英语的写作思路和选题走向。#考研英语#2000年真题作文部分2000年这一年考察的是图画作文。自图画作文登场,考研英语作文从形式上看的几大类型文章基本都出现了。这一年的作文给出了两张图片,图片下面有一句话,指明了方向。作文的字数要求是不少于150词。除此以外,题目中还给出了文章的内容提纲。文章的话题是:“过度捕捞”;标题自拟;主题词是“over-fishing”。文章结构大体可以分为三段:其一是“描述图画”,阐明两幅图的不同即变化,其二是“总结图画所反映的现象”,其三是“给出合理的解决建议”。作文分值15分。So it is high time we took effective measures to solve this problem.所以,我们是时候采取一些有效的措施去解决这一问题了。2001年真题作文部分2001年这一年考察的也是图画作文。有的老师也称之为“漫画作文”,其实都是可以的。这篇文章从题干来看,和之前的漫画作文有了很大的变化,这些变化体现为:其一,作文的分值从15分变成了20分;其二,在题干的开头给出了一段描述,显然是在提示文章的主题;其三,字数要求由原来的的150词变成了200词。当然,文章给出了写作的思路:第一段是对漫画的描述,解释考生对漫画后文章象征意义的了解;第二段是给出一个具体的例子,来论证观点;第三段是给出相关的献爱心的建议。文章的话题是“爱心”;主题词是“love”。There is probably no other feeling that is nobler than love. Everybody not only needs love ,but also should give others love.大概没有一种感觉比爱更高贵了。每个人都不仅需要爱,更应该把爱传递给别人。2002年真题作文部分2002年这一年考察的是图画作文。但是和以前不同,不是漫画,而是一张穿着中国传统服装的美国女孩的照片。从题干来看,和去年漫画作文的要求是一致的。首先是给出了一段描述,但是这里的描述意义不大;其次是交代考生文章的内容要求;接下来是作文的字数要求和分值:作文的分值为20分,字数要求为200词。这篇文章可以分成三部分来写:第一段是对照片的描述,这题相对简单,因为题干和照片下方已经给出了相应的语料;第二段是解释图片背后的含义,要注意,服装只是表现,其“里”指的应该是“文化”的内容;第三段是给出考生自己的观点、评论或者是建议,当然指的应该是文化输出的建议,因为这毕竟是一个美国女孩。文章的话题是“文化交流”;主题词是“cultural exchange”;分值是20分。All in all,cultural exchange is an effective way to achieve efficient cross-cultural communication and promote world peace and prosperity.总之,文化交流是一种有效的实现跨文化交流和促进世界和平和繁荣的方式。2003年真题作文部分2003年这一年考察的是漫画作文。题干可以说是越来越精简,可以说题干中有效的信息就是思路和词数、分值的说明。字数要求是200词左右;分值是20分;文章的话题可以理解为“儿童教育”,也可以理解为“挫折的重要性”;主题词是“hardship/difficulties”。行文的结构应该是三段:第一段是对图表的内容进行简单描述,重点揭示前后的变化;第二段是揭示漫画在现实中的含义,也可以写一写“温室”对于“花朵”究竟会有怎样的危害;第三段是给出看法和建议,或者是呼吁也可。Thus,it is high time that parents,ecatiors and the government made joint efforts put an end to this situation.因此,家长、教育者、政府是时候共同努力来结束这样的情况了。2004年真题作文部分2004年这一年考察的是漫画作文。题干中的有效信息是思路,其余和去年没有任何变化。字数要求是200词左右;分值是20分;文章的话题是“终点和起点”;主题词是“final spur and starting point”。文章的写作思路是:第一段对漫画的内容进行描述,第二段指出这图画含义的社会现状,第三段提出支撑自己观点的例子,比如大学生毕业,既是一个阶段的结束,有时一个新阶段的开始。Only when we are well-prepared for it can we meet the challenge in the future.我们只有做好准备才能迎接未来的挑战。考研英语是很难的好了,这就是2000年~2004年考研英语作文的全部解析,很是很走心的喽,如果帮助到了你,感谢点赞关注哈~(真题图书推荐陈正康老师的《真题超精读》,很详细,也很走心~不过要注意自己考得究竟是一还是二,千万不要买错了喽)政治:“对国家出路的早期探索”专题易错考点考研英语:1994~1999年真题作文全解析

所重

1999年考研英语阅读理解第五篇答案和全文翻译

原文+译文:Science, in practice, depends far less on the experiments it prepares than on the preparedness of the minds of the men who watch the experiments.实际上,科学的进步依赖于做实验,但更依赖于实验的观察者(即做实验的人)有所准备的头脑。Sir Isaac Newton supposedly discovered gravity through the fall of an apple.据说艾萨克·牛顿爵士是从苹果落地现象中发现了万有引力。Apples had been falling in many places for centuries and thousands of people had seen them fall. But Newton for years had been curious about the cause of the orbital motion of the moon and planets.多少个世纪以来,许多地方一直都有苹果落到地面,成千上万的人也都看过苹果落地。但多年来只有牛顿一直对月球和行星沿轨道运行的起因感到好奇。What kept them in place? Why didn’t they fall out of the sky? The fact that the apple fell down toward the earth and not up into the tree answered the question he had been asking himself about those larger fruits of the heavens, the moon and the planets.是什么使它们保持在现在的位置?它们为什么不从天上掉下来?苹果向下落到地面而不向上飞到树上,这一事实回答了他长期以来一直对天空中更大的“果实”——月球和行星所存有的疑问。How many men would have considered the possibility of an apple falling up into the tree?多少人会考虑过苹果向上飞到树上的可能性呢?Newton did because he was not trying to predict anything. He was just wondering. His mind was ready for the unpredictable. Unpredictability is part of the essential nature of research.牛顿这样做了,因为他不想对任何事情进行预测。他只是怀有好奇心。他的头脑在准备思考不可预测的事。不可预测性是科学研究的一个基本特征。If you don’t have unpredictable things, you don’t have research. Scientists tend to forget this when writing their cut and dried reports for the technical journals, but history is filled with examples of it.如果没有不可预测现象的产生就无所谓科学研究了。科学家们在为学术刊物撰写呆板的例行报告时往往会忘记这一点,而历史上这样的例子却比比皆是。In talking to some scientists, particularly younger ones, you might gather the impression that they find the “scientific method” a substitute for imaginative thought.在和一些科学家,特别是年轻科学家交谈时,你可能会有这样一种印象:他们认为“科学方法”可以代替创造性思维。I’ve attended research conferences where a scientist has been asked what he thinks about the advisability of continuing a certain experiment.我出席过一些科研会议,会上有人问一位科学家继续某项实验是否是明智之举。The scientist has frowned, looked at the graphs, and said “the data are still inconclusive.”那位科学家皱了皱眉,又看了看图表,然后说:“数据还是不够确定。”“We know that,” the men from the budget office have said, “but what do you think? Is it worthwhile going on? What do you think we might expect?” The scientist has been shocked at having even been asked to speculate.预算部门的人说:“这点我们知道,但你的意见如何?你觉得值得做下去吗?你觉得我们可以期待什么呢?”这位科学家感到很震惊,他没有料到人们会让他做出预测。What this amounts to, of course, is that the scientist has become the victim of his own writings.当然,这几乎等于说:这位科学家成了自己所写报告的受害者。He has put forward unquestioned claims so consistently that he not only believes them himself, but has convinced instrial and business management that they are true.他所提出的种种论断是如此不容置疑、如此一致,以至于不仅他自己相信了,而且也说服了工商界的管理者相信其正确性。If experiments are planned and carried out according to plan as faithfully as the reports in the science journals indicate, then it is perfectly logical for management to expect research to proce results measurable in dollars and cents.假如科学实验像科学杂志报告显示的那样完全按事先的计划去规划和实施,那么,对管理层来说,期待研究能够产生可用美元、美分衡量的结果是完全合理的。It is entirely reasonable for auditors to believe that scientists who know exactly where they are going and how they will get there should not be distracted by the necessity of keeping one eye on the cash register while the other eye is on the microscope.审计人员也完全有理由相信,确切知道自己的目标并知道如何实现这一目标的科学家们根本没必要分心:用一只眼盯着现金计数器的同时,用另一只眼睛盯着显微镜。Nor, if regularity and conformity to a standard pattern are as desirable to the scientist as the writing of his papers would appear to reflect, is management to be blamed for discriminating against the “odd balls” among researchers in favor of more conventional thinkers who “work well with the team.”如果像他们的论文所反映的那样,科学家渴望规律性和与某种标准模式的一致性,那么管理人员歧视研究人员中的“标新立异者”,而赞赏“善于合作”的具有传统思维模式的人,也就是无可指摘的。试题:51. The author wants to prove with the example of Isaac Newton that.[A] inquiring minds are more important than scientific experiments[B] science advances when fruitful researches are concted[C] scientists seldom forget the essential nature of research[D] unpredictability weighs less than prediction in scientific research52. The author asserts that scientists.[A] shouldn’t replace “scientific method” with imaginative thought[B] shouldn’t neglect to speculate on unpredictable things[C] should write more concise reports for technical journals[D] should be confident about their research findings53.

饰人之心

阅读文章《考研》的读后感:言教不如身教,父爱的深沉

《考研》这篇文章的开始倒叙,成功吊起了大家的胃口,明白了父亲做出考研决定的原因和努力!文章不足是对妻子的刻画,对女儿的描述萌萌哒,虽然寥寥几许,但起到了画龙点睛的作用!01值得敬佩的父亲文中的父亲值得我们敬佩,不只是因为这位父亲那深远的爱,更是父亲那份勇气,尽管知道考研这一决定以后生活的狼狈不堪,依然能够鼓起勇气去行动,更是获得了家人的支持,这些孩子都看在眼里,父亲的这些行为在孩子的心理埋下了一棵为了自己目标勇敢追求并付诸实践的种子。这是我欣赏的地方,也许父亲没有想到,但是生活就是这样,你努力的模样会馈赠给你生活的惊喜,我想这就是父亲给女儿的重大惊喜,而那100分只是父亲的目标。父亲的爱是深沉的,父亲的爱是大山,我想这就是中国父亲爱的脊梁!高尔基说过,父爱是一部震感心灵的巨著,读懂了他,也就读懂了整个人生!突然让我想起最近疫情严重的石家庄的那位新冠肺炎确诊的父亲,与我们这里的父亲可谓是形成了鲜明的对比,短短8天,去了6次网咖,几部每次都是雷打不动的八小时,想想,这两位不同父亲引导下的孩子一定会有着截然不同的人生。02爱拼才会赢为了考研获取积分,一次又一次孤注一掷,既有主人公的努力,也有妻子默默的支持,还有孩子的祝福祈祷,这已经不是一个人的奋斗,而是一个不甘现状的家庭在为理想为未来在拼搏。有首歌《爱拼才会赢》,里面唱到"三分天注定,七分靠打拼,爱拼才会赢",主人公完美的诠释了这句话,这首歌。上海这个早点店一家,实实在在拼出了一条路,也为沙县小吃店一家树立了一个榜样,为许许多多为了理想和未来拼搏的人儿点亮了一盏灯。攒积分留在大城市,这是目前很多大城市,如上海、广东、天津等地推出的政策,有了积分,就能够有了这些地方的户口,有了当地户口,孩子就能够获得更多成功的机会和空间,而考研是主人公这类家庭最有希望最小付出能实现的途径。实实在在的阶梯,看得见摸得着的路,即使满是荆棘,勇敢往前走就是。我在想主人公即使没有考研成功,言传身教中已经给女儿树立了一个为目标奋斗的榜样,家风如此,一次又一次,甚至一代又一代的付出,终会收获成功,爱拼才会赢!“父母之爱子,则为之深远”,这位爸爸值得我们为他点赞03执行力我还非常敬佩这位父亲的是他的执行力,相信我们每个人都能够体会到饭店的工作是多么的辛苦和劳累,但是这位父亲在树立了目标——考研之后的行动力,更是让我们敬佩的!(1)见缝插针式学习:把单词写在厨房墙上,边洗碗边背,或者包饺子时看视频,扫地时听音频。(2)离考试还有78 天时,中止在店里的工作,去考研机构复习。附录: 《考研》原文听说我要考研,街对面沙县小吃的老板问我:“你都 35 岁 了 ,在上海开个小饭店一家人过得挺好,还折腾什么?”我说了考研原因,他沉默了一会儿,点点头说道:“那我也考虑考虑这事。” 2005 年 ,我 从江西一所大专院校毕业,找了份推销报警器的工作,整整两个月,没卖出一件产品,只领到400 元 基本工资。而后5年 ,我辗转甘肃、浙江,换了十几份工作,受学历与能力所限,始终没能混出名堂。 在外闯荡失败,我来到上海长兴岛,接手爸妈的早点店,一干就是8年 ,渐渐地,店里平均每月收入能有一 两万。毕业的13年间 ,除了偶尔过年回安徽老家,买本杂志打发路上时间,我几乎没看过书。有了考研想法后,我先去买了本英语历年试卷。我的英语水平还停留在小学。那次一位小学生问我“car” 是什么意思,我信誓旦旦地说是猫。等那小孩走了,我打电话问同学,才知道“car” 是小汽车,“cat”才是猫,我暗自嘀咕这英语单词有病吧,长这么像。 我只好拿着考研真题,认真地猜,有时十个选择题可以猜对两个,有时可以猜对五、六个 。我心想原来考研是碰运气啊!可学了半年英语,还是只能猜对五个选择题,我有点慌了。 我急忙在网上下单了英语教学视频和书籍,一有时间就偷偷溜出去背单词。店里既卖早点,又卖中餐和晚餐 ,每天要忙12 个小时以上,溜不出去时,我只能见缝插 针,把单词写在厨房墙上,边洗碗边背,或者包饺子时看视频,扫地时听音频,有时在店里学到11点,第二天早上4 点还要爬起来卖早点。要不是为了女儿,我也不至于如此拼命,忙碌的日子里,我几次想写一篇“被女儿毁了下半生”的文章。刚上小学的女儿小雅听了,哭唧唧地说:“我没有毁了你。”我哄她说:“我写别的小孩毁了我吧。”小雅思索了一会儿,摇头晃脑地表示否定,“那还是说我毁了你比较好。”距离考试越来越近,压力也越来越大,有天晚上,我突然梦见考试时间就要到了,可怎么也找不到考场, 急得满头是汗。从那之后,我经常梦到类似场景,有时是忘带准考证,有时是坐错车,总之没有一次成功进入考场。 离考试还有78 天时, 我躺在床上无法入睡,脑袋里像是装了炸药,身体又像要起飞,折磨 得我几近崩溃。老婆和女儿都睡了,我去卫生间抽了根烟,生意和学习不可兼得,我想中止在店里的工作,去考研机构复习。又想到老婆一个人没法照顾生意 , 若我去考研机构,只能暂时关店,我有些舍不得。 烟抽完 了,我回到 卧室,推了推老婆小声说:“我想去考研机构。”老婆突然大声骂道:“老三你到底睡不睡觉。”我悄悄爬上床,插上耳机,听着考研英语,怎么也睡不着。 第二天,我又和老婆提起这事,她竟然没心没肺地同意了。早点店关了后,我踏上去北京的列车。10 月北京的风有些凉了,舍友问我:“为什么不去上海的考研机构?”我说 :“因为离家太近,怕受干扰。”他们知道了我的年龄和考研的原因,纷纷竖起大拇指,我的自信心前所未有地膨胀。 我非常喜欢学校的氛围,每天心无旁骛地学到夜里一点半。学校在八达岭长城边的一个废技校里,晚上星星特别亮,舍友说那七颗最亮的是北斗星,七颗星排成一条直线就代表过年了。我想那时成绩应该已经出来了,我一定可以考上,这么拼都考不上,那大学还要谁啊?很快到了考试,看到试卷上写着“硕士研究生考试”,长期困扰我的噩梦总算结束。我奋笔疾书,把试卷写得特别满,监考老师说:“这个考场大概就你可以考上。” 两个月的房租、学费、生活费加在一起 3、 4万块,虽然手头的积蓄可以负担这笔钱,但家里不开店,也就没了收入,考研结束,我立刻回到上海开店。焦急地等待了一个月 ,成绩下来了,我的总分超过了去年国家线20 分 , 英语和政治分别差了1分 和 2分 。国家线每年都会微调,我们全家经常祈祷国家线能下降两分 ,有一天小雅跪在床上,大喊:“求求你了老天爷,让爸爸考上吧!”我每天都要查很多次分数线,那天下午,老婆送小雅去跳拉丁舞,到店里拿衣服,我对她说:“ 国家线出来了,涨了两分,没戏了。”老婆看我表情不是很痛苦,还笑着问:“是不是真的?”我没理她,转身进店去给客人炒菜。成绩离调剂到西部大学只差一分,我睁着眼捱了一整夜。一次考研已经损失了几万块,可如果不继续考下去,我的计划将全盘失败。 第二天一大早,我又买了考研视频,准备再拼一年。听说我还要再考,我奶奶打电话来问:“店里房租一个月三千,再关店你们怎么生活?”我妈也打电话责怪:“该念书时你不念,现在又要念,你这孩子。”吓得我不敢再跟她们二位联系。 家人不理解我的选择,考研机构熬夜打游戏的室友也差点将我击垮。宿舍来的新同学,每天白天睡觉,晚上打游戏,不让关灯,还边打边喊:“向前,向前,捡起来。”我每天仅剩的5小时睡眠时间,也被他 搅乱。想到自己快40 岁 了,还像小 学生一样闹矛盾,有些不好意思,我坚持了近一个月,一直没提出换宿舍,直到最后挺不住了,我才跟老师说了这件事。搬到另一个宿舍后 ,又有同学跟我说:“大 哥你睡觉打呼,我睡不着。” 我心 想完蛋了,他们还是群二十来岁的孩子,要是休息不好可怎么办?我只能每天等大家睡熟了再睡,这样他们就听不见打呼的声音了。睡眠时间再度压缩,我几乎是吊着一口 气硬撑,后来那位同学说:“大 哥你好像不打呼了。” 我还笑着回答:“我能忍住。”就这样 在煎熬中度 过了116 天 ,初试通过。2019 年 ,复试结果下来,我居 然真的考上了河北一所大学的研究生,拿到录取通知书那一刻,我知道女儿的未来有着落了。 十年前 ,老婆生女 儿时难产,医生说,女儿有可能是脑瘫。我抱着最坏的打算将她养大,没想到女儿十分聪明懂事,和人说话从不怯场,还两次被评为班长。几年前,有客人到店里吃饭时说:“我女儿要像你女儿一样聪明,我就好好培养。”我心想,怎么才叫好好培养呢?很早之前,我在杂志上看过一篇名为《我奋斗了18 年 ,才 能和你一起在星巴克喝咖啡》的文章,这篇文章一直影响着我。想想自己奋斗了十几年 ,还从来不敢去星巴克喝咖啡,我的女儿要怎样才能和别的孩子站在 同一起跑线上呢?为此,我决定无论如何,要让女儿在上海接受更好的教育。 让女儿进入幼儿园是第一道关,在长兴岛上幼儿园不算特别困难,只需要缴纳社保,办好 暂住证,再按规定租住一间大房子即可。但女儿要想在上海读中学,继而参加高考,必须攒够 120 个 积 分,攒够120 个 积分对学历、工作、社保都有要求,每交 一年社保,能积 3分 ,考研前,我在 上海交了几年社保,要想快速获得积分,只能从学历下手。如果获得硕士研究生学位,可以一次性得到100分。 老一辈人不懂如今教育竞争激烈。父亲曾问我,周围人的孩子都在读小学四、五年级时回到了老家,让小雅回去读书不也一样吗?我没法跟他解释,老家高考竞争压力大,在上海高考才更容易。我想让女儿的人生轻松一点,更重要的是,我想让她看见更大的世界。我没告诉长辈们考研的真实目的,独自努着劲儿考了两年,最终考上了。旁边沙县小吃的店主知道还有这种方式能获得积分,也琢磨起考研这条路。 近两年,早点店生意不太好做,挣钱越来越难,为专心读研,研究生开学前,我干脆把上海的店转卖,将女儿和老婆带到河北一起生活,让女儿在我们学校的附属小学读书。 研究生的功课并不容易。刚开始,老师让我们自己做ppt上 台讲解作业,看着同学们精美的ppt, 我恨不得找个地缝钻进去, 上台时脸憋得通红,生怕让同学知道 我以前是个厨师。 学校规定,要想毕业至少要在省刊发两篇文章,我看着别人的论文,都不知道他们在说什么,上次老师叫我们写一万字的文献综述,我愁了十几天,给老师发邮件说:“还是开饭店轻松。” 还有很难听懂的电脑课,十几年前上学时就没学好,现在基本全忘了,我只能坐在第一排,上课时用手机录视频,晚上回家再一遍遍对着回放练习。 好在女儿的学校就在旁边,我们基本能同时放学,她背着一个破书包,我也背着个破书包,我们一起在食堂吃饭,一起在宿舍睡觉,她睡床上,我趴在桌子上。唯独每 周有一节晚 课,来不及把女儿送回家,只好将她带到班上一起听课。老师很宽容,半开玩笑地说:“让她提前接受研究生教育也好。”班上女生都说我是模范父亲,我让女儿挨个叫姐姐,把她们逗得哈哈大笑。 可惜突如其来的疫情又将计划打乱,原本开学了我就跟着老师好好上课,寒暑假打些零工维持生计。疫情期间,打零工也很难,经济来源彻底断了,我只好先把上海的社保停掉,一年两万多块钱,我真的负担不起。这段时间,我时常会想起刚到河北看的那部《夏洛特烦恼》,看电影时我就在想,要是能 回到十几岁,该怎样改变人生?读研像是一个时空隧道,让我再次来到分岔口,人生无法重来,但只要我拿到文凭,女儿就可以拥有更多选择的机会。 现在,为了把女儿带回上海,我又有了考博士的想法,这样可以稳妥得到110 个 积分 ,女儿也能上个更好的学校。我和同学说想考复旦的博士,他们笑得前仰后合,其实我自己都觉得不可思议,每个人都在问我:“就算能考上,等你读完都快五十岁了,你还能干嘛?” 还能干嘛我也不知道,我只想把女儿带回上海,让她喝一下星巴克的咖啡。
