Into the Unknown

The world has never seen population ageing before. Can it cope?

Until the early 1990s nobody much thought about whole populations getting older. The UN had the foresight to convene a “world assembly on ageing” back in 1982, but that came and went. By 1994 the World Bank had noticed that something big was happening. In a report entitled “Averting the Old Age Crisis”, it argued that pension arrangements in most countries were unsustainable.

For the next ten years a succession of books, mainly by Americans, sounded the alarm. They had titles like Young vs Old, Gray Dawn and The Coming Generational Storm, and their message was blunt: health-care systems were heading for the rocks, pensioners were taking young people to the cleaners, and soon there would be intergenerational warfare.

Since then the debate has become less emotional, not least because a lot more is known about the subject. Books, conferences and research papers have multiplied. International organisations such as the OECD and the EU issue regular reports. Population ageing is on every agenda, from G8 economic conferences to NATO summits. The World Economic Forum plans to consider the future of pensions and health care at its prestigious Davos conference early next year. The media, including this newspaper, are giving the subject extensive coverage.

Whether all that attention has translated into sufficient action is another question. Governments in rich countries now accept that their pension and health-care promises will soon become unaffordable, and many of them have embarked on reforms, but so far only timidly. That is not surprising: politicians with an eye on the next election will hardly rush to introduce unpopular measures that may not bear fruit for years, perhaps decades.

The outline of the changes needed is clear. To avoid fiscal (財(cái)政) meltdown, public pensions and health-care provision will have to be reined back severely and taxes may have to go up. By far the most effective method to restrain pension spending is to give people the opportunity to work longer, because it increases tax revenues and reduces spending on pensions at the same time. It may even keep them alive longer. John Rother, the AARP’s head of policy and strategy, points to studies showing that other things being equal, people who remain at work have lower death rates than their retired peers.

Younger people today mostly accept that they will have to work for longer and that their pensions will be less generous. Employers still need to be persuaded that older workers are worth holding on to. That may be because they have had plenty of younger ones to choose from, partly thanks to the post-war baby-boom and partly because over the past few decades many more women have entered the labour force, increasing employers’ choice. But the reservoir of women able and willing to take up paid work is running low, and the baby-boomers are going grey.

In many countries immigrants have been filling such gaps in the labour force as have already emerged (and remember that the real shortage is still around ten years off). Immigration in the developed world is the highest it has ever been, and it is making a useful difference. In still-fertile America it currently accounts for about 40% of total population growth, and in fast-ageing western Europe for about 90%.

On the face of it, it seems the perfect solution. Many developing countries have lots of young people in need of jobs; many rich countries need helping hands that will boost tax revenues and keep up economic growth. But over the next few decades labour forces in rich countries are set to shrink so much that inflows of immigrants would have to increase enormously to compensate: to at least twice their current size in western Europe’s most youthful countries, and three times in the older ones. Japan would need a large multiple of the few immigrants it has at present. Public opinion polls show that people in most rich countries already think that immigration is too high. Further big increases would be politically unfeasible.

To tackle the problem of ageing populations at its root, “old” countries would have to rejuvenate (使年輕) themselves by having more of their own children. A number of them have tried, some more successfully than others. But it is not a simple matter of offering financial incentives or providing more child care. Modern urban life in rich countries is not well adapted to large families. Women find it hard to combine family and career. They often compromise by having just one child.

And if fertility in ageing countries does not pick up? It will not be the end of the world, at least not for quite a while yet, but the world will slowly become a different place. Older societies may be less innovative and more strongly disinclined to take risks than younger ones. By 2025 at the latest, about half the voters in America and most of those in western European countries will be over 50—and older people turn out to vote in much greater number than younger ones. Academic studies have found no evidence so far that older voters have used their power at the ballot box to push for policies that specifically benefit them, though if in future there are many more of them they might start doing so.

Nor is there any sign of the intergenerational warfare predicted in the 1990s. After all, older people themselves mostly have families. In a recent study of parents and grown-up children in 11 European countries, Karsten Hank of Mannheim University found that 85% of them lived within 25km of each other and the majority of them were in touch at least once a week.

Even so, the shift in the centre of gravity to older age groups is bound to have a profound effect on societies, not just economically and politically but in all sorts of other ways too. Richard Jackson and Neil Howe of America’s CSIS, in a thoughtful book called The Graying of the Great Powers, argue that, among other things, the ageing of the developed countries will have a number of serious security implications.

For example, the shortage of young adults is likely to make countries more reluctant to commit the few they have to military service. In the decades to 2050, America will find itself playing an ever-increasing role in the developed world’s defence effort. Because America’s population will still be growing when that of most other developed countries is shrinking, America will be the only developed country that still matters geopolitically (地緣政治上).

Ask me in 2020

There is little that can be done to stop population ageing, so the world will have to live with it. But some of the consequences can be alleviated. Many experts now believe that given the right policies, the effects, though grave, need not be catastrophic. Most countries have recognised the need to do something and are beginning to act.

But even then there is no guarantee that their efforts will work. What is happening now is historically unprecedented. Ronald Lee, director of the Centre on the Economics and Demography of Ageing at the University of California, Berkeley, puts it briefly and clearly: “We don’t really know what population ageing will be like, because nobody has done it yet. “

Part IV Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth) (25 minutes)

Section A

Directions: In this section, there is a short passage with 5 questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words. Please write your answers on Answer Sheet 2.

Questions 47 to 51 are based on the following passage.

Most young boys are trained to believe that men should be strong, tough, cool, and detached. Thus, they learn early to hide vulnerable emotions such as love, joy, and sadness because they believe that such feelings are feminine and imply weakness. Over time, some men become strangers to their own emotional lives. It seems that men with traditional views of masculinity are more likely to suppress outward emotions and to fear emotions, supposedly because such feelings may lead to a loss of composure (鎮(zhèn)定). Keep in mind, however, that this view is challenged by some researchers. As with many gender gaps, differences in emotionality tend to be small, inconsistent, and dependent on the situation. For instance, Robertson and colleagues found that males who were more traditionally masculine were more emotionally expressive in a structured exercise than when they were simply asked to talk about their emotions.

Males’ difficulty with “tender” emotions has serious consequences. First, suppressed emotions can contribute to stress-related disorders. And worse, men are less likely than women to seek help from health professionals. Second, men’s emotional inexpressiveness can cause problems in their relationships with partners and children. For example, men who endorse traditional masculine norms report lower relationship satisfaction, as do their female partners. Further, children whose fathers are warm, loving, and accepting toward them have higher self-esteem and lower rates of aggression and behavior problems. On a positive note, fathers are increasingly involving themselves with their children. And 30 percent of fathers report that they take equal or greater responsibility for their children than their working wives do.

One emotion males are allowed to express is anger. Sometimes this anger translates into physical aggression or violence. Men commit nearly 90 percent of violent crimes in the United States and almost all sexual assaults.

Section B

Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked [A], [B], [C] and [D] You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.

Passage One

Questions 52 to 56 are based on the following passage.

In the early 20th century, few things were more appealing than the promise of scientific knowledge. In a world struggling with rapid industrialization, science and technology seemed to offer solutions to almost every problem. Newly created state colleges and universities devoted themselves almost entirely to scientific, technological, and engineering fields. Many Americans came to believe that scientific certainty could not only solve scientific problems, but also reform politics, government, and business. Two world wars and a Great Depression rocked the confidence of many people that scientific expertise alone could create a prosperous and ordered world. After World War Ⅱ, the academic world turned with new enthusiasm to humanistic studies, which seemed to many scholars the best way to ensure the survival of democracy. American scholars fanned out across much of the world—with support from the Ford Foundation, the Fulbright program, etc.—to promote the teaching of literature and the arts in an effort to make the case for democratic freedoms.

In the America of our own time, the great educational challenge has become an effort to strengthen the teaching of what is now known as the STEM disciplines (science, technology, engineering, and math). There is considerable and justified concern that the United States is falling behind much of the rest of the developed world in these essential disciplines. India, China, Japan, and other regions seem to be seizing technological leadership.

At the same time, perhaps inevitably, the humanities—while still popular in elite colleges and universities—have experienced a significant decline. Humanistic disciplines are seriously underfunded, not just by the government and the foundations but by academic institutions themselves. Humanists are usually among the lowest-paid faculty members at most institutions and are often lightly regarded because they do not generate grant income and because they provide no obvious credentials (資質(zhì)) for most nonacademic careers.

Undoubtedly American education should train more scientists and engineers. Much of the concern among politicians about the state of American universities today is focused on the absence of “real world” education—which means preparation for professional and scientific careers. But the idea that institutions or their students must decide between humanities and science is false. Our society could not survive without scientific and technological knowledge. But we would be equally impoverished (貧困的) without humanistic knowledge as well. Science and technology teach us what we can do. Humanistic thinking helps us understand what we should do.

It is almost impossible to imagine our society without thinking of the extraordinary achievements of scientists and engineers in building our complicated world. But try to imagine our world as well without the remarkable works that have defined our culture and values. We have always needed, and we still need, both.

Passage Two

Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.

Will there ever be another Einstein? This is the undercurrent of conversation at Einstein memorial meetings throughout the year. A new Einstein will emerge, scientists say. But it may take a long time. After all, more than 200 years separated Einstein from his nearest rival, Isaac Newton.

Many physicists say the next Einstein hasn’t been born yet, or is a baby now. That’s because the quest for a unified theory that would account for all the forces of nature has pushed current mathematics to its limits. New math must be created before the problem can be solved.

But researchers say there are many other factors working against another Einstein emerging anytime soon.

For one thing, physics is a much different field today. In Einstein’s day, there were only a few thousand physicists worldwide, and the theoreticians who could intellectually rival Einstein probably would fit into a streetcar with seats to spare.

Education is different, too. One crucial aspect of Einstein’s training that is overlooked is the years of philosophy he read as a teenager—Kant, Schopenhauer and Spinoza, among others. It taught him how to think independently and abstractly about space and time, and it wasn’t long before he became a philosopher himself.

“The independence created by philosophical insight is—in my opinion—the mark of distinction between a mere artisan (工匠) or specialist and a real seeker after truth,” Einstein wrote in 1944.

And he was an accomplished musician. The interplay between music and math is well known. Einstein would furiously play his violin as a way to think through a knotty physics problem.

Today, universities have produced millions of physicists. There aren’t many jobs in science for them, so they go to Wall Street and Silicon Valley to apply their analytical skills to more practical—and rewarding—efforts.

“Maybe there is an Einstein out there today,” said Columbia University physicist Brian Greene, “but it would be a lot harder for him to be heard.”

Especially considering what Einstein was proposing.

“The actual fabric of space and time curving? My God, what an idea!” Greene said at a recent gathering at the Aspen Institute. “It takes a certain type of person who will bang his head against the wall because you believe you’ll find the solution.”

Perhaps the best examples are the five scientific papers Einstein wrote in his “miracle year” of 1905. These “thought experiments” were pages of calculations signed and submitted to the prestigious journal Annalen der Physik by a virtual unknown. There were no footnotes or citations.

What might happen to such a submission today?

“We all get papers like those in the mail,” Greene said. “We put them in the junk file.”

57. What do scientists seem to agree upon, judging from the first two paragraphs?

[A] Einstein pushed mathematics almost to its limits.

[B] It will take another Einstein to build a unified theory.

[C] No physicist is likely to surpass Einstein in the next 200 years.

[D] It will be some time before a new Einstein emerges.

58. What was critical to Einstein’s success?

[A] His talent as an accomplished musician.

[B] His independent and abstract thinking.

[C] His untiring effort to fulfill his potential.

[D] His solid foundation in math theory.

59. What does the author tell us about physicists today?

[A] They tend to neglect training in analytical skills.

[B] They are very good at solving practical problems.

[C] They attach great importance to publishing academic papers.

[D] They often go into fields yielding greater financial benefits.

60. What does Brian Greene imply by saying “... it would be a lot harder for him to be heard” (Lines 1-2, Para. 9)?

[A] People have to compete in order to get their papers published.

[B] It is hard for a scientist to have his papers published today.

[C] Papers like Einstein’s would unlikely get published today.

[D] Nobody will read papers on apparently ridiculous theories.

61. When he submitted his papers in 1905, Einstein _______.

[A] forgot to make footnotes and citations

[B] was little known in academic circles

[C] was known as a young genius in math calculations

[D] knew nothing about the format of academic papers

My View on University Ranking

In recent years, all kinds of University Ranking Lists can be found on some educational websites, or newspapers. The ranking standards also vary. These lists have great influence on students. They are even becoming the only scale to evaluate the colleges and universities.

People hold different views toward this phenomenon. Some believe that these lists help the students a lot, especially for those who will choose their university. While some other protest vigorously. In their points, the list is really ridiculous and harmful. In my view, the university ranking may have its own reference values, but its disadvantages overweigh its values.

For those university-students-to-be, they are supposed to choose the school according to his or her own situation, but not the so-called Ranking List. What’s more, how about the university students? How do they feel about themselves when they see the ranking? The list may become some intangible shackles for them if their own school ranks poorly.

In a nutshell, there is no easy method to rank these universities, but the Ranking, only helps students ignore the essentials, namely, their ninety-nine percent perspiration.

此次六級作文的自由度很大，看似給出了提綱，實(shí)際上具體的觀點(diǎn)全靠個(gè)人發(fā)揮。第一段需要點(diǎn)明大學(xué)排名這個(gè)現(xiàn)象，第二段需要鋪陳不同人的觀點(diǎn)，第三段要陳述自己的觀點(diǎn)。

大學(xué)排名這個(gè)題目，實(shí)際上涉及到了對了大學(xué)的理解，對于大學(xué)排名標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的理解，以及對于大學(xué)排名的目的的理解。而這件事更加離不開中國具體的國情，新中國50年代人至今受教育的情況，90后擇校的情況，目前大學(xué)的情況，考生發(fā)揮的空間可以縱橫數(shù)十年的教育史，并且可以深入探討教育的本質(zhì)。

當(dāng)然，對于大多數(shù)考生來說，湊滿150個(gè)字萬歲!那么，模板又可以派上用場了。

(1)開門見山直入主體，表明對某事人們的不同看法。

(2)表明一部分人的看法。

(3)另一部分的看法。

(4)作者的看法

我們這里放出來的這篇文章，語言流暢，觀點(diǎn)清晰，多處表述有閃光點(diǎn)。

Part Ⅰ作文題目：

1.目前高校排名相當(dāng)盛行

2.對于這種做法，人們看法不一

3.我認(rèn)為...

Now society competition is very big, college is not exceptional also, the present universities ranking is quite popular, appear very I "ranking" drawbacks. For this kind of practice, the person of shem view each not camera, some understanding ranking is very necessary, can promote the school competition, some understanding ranking, cause a lot of school lane virtual do false education quality, causing the glide! And I think the school rankings of this mechanism is should be reserved, but need to regulate the arrangement, the education development of the rankings system into motivation, not resistance.

作文范文：

For those university students-to-be, choosing their ideal school is never an easy job, but luckily, different authorities come up with the university ranking to help! Top students shall choose the top schools high on the list and vice versa.

Complicated issue becomes easy numerical comparison, yet the real problem stays there, can the numerical ranking tell you the status quo of these universities? Are these “authorities” producing the ranking authoritative enough to make the judgments? Let’s take a serious look at the issue before we jump to the conclusion whether university ranking is good or bad.

We have to admit that because of historical reasons, most of the 1950s-1960s parents were denied higher education and this cruel fact makes them even more eager to give their children high education even though they have no idea of what university education is all about. The ranking helps them to make decisions based on their simple idea of better ranking means better jobs in future, and therefore better income! It is pathetic that they interpret knowledge and wisdom in such a way yet it is even more pathetic that there are so-claimed well-educated people making up all the ranking and get the ranking published to mislead them!

Part Ⅱ

Reading Comprehension(Skimming and Scanning)

1.A not be sustained in the long term

解析：關(guān)鍵字1994對應(yīng)第一段第三行，題干中unsustainable即選項(xiàng)A中sustained的反義表達(dá)方式。選擇A。

2.B Intergenerational conflicts will intensify.

解析：從書名定位到原文第二段，heading for the rock, the cleaner, 都暗示了兩代人之間的問題，最后的warfare則一目了然地指出了該矛盾。

3.D politicians are afraid of losing votes in the next election

解析：首先需要理解題目意圖，即為何養(yǎng)老機(jī)制改革遲遲不能進(jìn)行，然后定位到文章第四段，其實(shí)只要從段落中politician這一關(guān)鍵字就能選定D選項(xiàng)。

4.A allow people to work longer

解析：從題干中the most effective method找到第五段第三句原話，直接選擇A選項(xiàng)。

5.D younger workers are readily available

解析：題目中employer為關(guān)鍵字，找到第六段，該段看似沒有直接提到為什么雇主不愿意雇傭old workers，但從其不斷分析新涌現(xiàn)出來的勞動(dòng)力替代者，可以總結(jié)的出D選項(xiàng)，即年輕勞動(dòng)力的供給已足以滿足企業(yè)需求。

6.B large numbers of immigrants from overseas

解析：這道題間接考察了學(xué)生變換思維的能力，Japan在文中一時(shí)難以找到，但其所代表的發(fā)達(dá)國家群體developed countries卻出現(xiàn)在了第七段，而該段恰恰揭示了發(fā)達(dá)國家靠移民勞動(dòng)力尋求養(yǎng)老機(jī)制危機(jī)一時(shí)的緩解的舉措。

7.B They find it hard to balance career and family.

解析：compromise關(guān)鍵字找到第九段，關(guān)鍵字出現(xiàn)的句子前一句就是B選項(xiàng)。

8.be innovative and take risks than younger ones

解析：題目中old societies關(guān)鍵字對應(yīng)到倒數(shù)第六段第三行，題目中的less inclined正好與原文中的more strongly disinclined形成對照，所以答案只需摘錄之后的原文即可，即take risks than younger ones.

9.mostly have families

解析：題目中關(guān)鍵字intergenerational warfare對應(yīng)到原文倒數(shù)第五段。第二句直接對第一句做出了解釋，摘錄即可。

10.military service

解析：要理解題目中l(wèi)ess willing to 的含義，即不情愿，這樣定位到倒數(shù)第三段第一句的reluctant， commit sth. to sth. ，空格內(nèi)需要填寫名詞，參照原文，即military service.

Listening Comprehension

Section A

12. What is the woman eager to know?

15. What do we learn about the woman?

【答案】A She has made up her mind to resign.

【解析】從文中女士強(qiáng)硬的口氣I could no longer live with…可以看出她下定決心。因此選擇A。

16. What does the women want to do?

22. What does the woman say about British railways?

【答案】B Like it or not, you have to use them.

【解析】在對話一開始，女士就提到了There’s only one railway system, if you don't like a particular railway, you can’t go and use another. 因?yàn)橹挥幸粭l鐵路，即使不喜歡，也只能乘坐，換句話說不論喜歡與否都得用它。因此選擇B。

Section B

Passage One

文章解析：

本文是一篇地理科學(xué)類文章，有點(diǎn)難度，關(guān)鍵是對一些專有名詞的把握。文章開始先指出全球變暖帶來最主要的威脅是極地冰蓋的融化，并給出了相應(yīng)的事實(shí)和數(shù)據(jù)加以證明。接著更多例子表明南極洲的冰蓋在過去的130萬年間至少坍塌過一次。相關(guān)高等學(xué)府的學(xué)者和科學(xué)家也相繼用實(shí)驗(yàn)證明南極洲西部曾是一片汪洋。最后引用Herman Engleheart的話，再次提醒我們，西南極洲大冰原很可能再次融化消失。

其實(shí)按常理來說，如果聽力文章比較有難度的話，題目的難度相對應(yīng)會(huì)降低。所以大家在遇到此類題型時(shí)不必驚慌。提取關(guān)鍵信息、邊聽邊記筆記，運(yùn)用好背景知識等就能把題目做出來。平時(shí)也要注意擴(kuò)大閱讀范圍，增長見識。關(guān)于環(huán)境保護(hù)和全球變暖之類的文章屢見不鮮，要求考生在這方面要引起足夠的重視。

難點(diǎn)詞匯：

West Antarctic ice sheet西南極洲大冰原 ice shelf 冰架 anchored 固定的

fossil 化石 microscopic marine plants 海洋微生物 geological 地質(zhì)的

答案及解析：

26. What is one of the most frightening threats of global warming according to the passage?

【解析】C) Many coastal cities will be covered with water.

細(xì)節(jié)題。本題不難，從聽力開頭即可聽到 “raising sea level so much that coastal cities from New York to Los Angles to Shanghai will be flooded” 所以選C選項(xiàng)。

27. What do scientists disagree on?

【解析】B) How unstable the West Antarctic ice sheet is.

細(xì)節(jié)題。本題不難。注意關(guān)鍵句 “but Antarctic experts disagree strongly on just how unstable it is” 即可得出答案。

28. What is the latest information revealed about the West Antarctic ice sheet?

【解析】A)It collapsed at least once during the past 1.3 million years.

細(xì)節(jié)題。注意提取關(guān)鍵信息 “new evidence reveals that all or most of the Antarctic ice sheet collapsed at least once during the past 1.3 million years” 所以選A選項(xiàng)。

29. What the scientists’ latest findings suggest?

【解析】A) The West Antarctic region was once a open ocean.

細(xì)節(jié)題。聽力最后的例子說明了這一點(diǎn)“which suggest that the region was once open ocean not solid ice”， 而其他選項(xiàng)都不是最新的發(fā)現(xiàn)。

Passage Two

30 B)Whether a deleted photo is immediately removed from the web.

【解析】聽力一開始作者就建議我們嘗試刪除自己上傳的照片“Take a photo and upload it to Facebook, then after a day or so, note what the URL link to the picture is and then delete it.”，由此可知應(yīng)該選B。

31 B) The way they store data.

【解析】“Why do "deleted" photos stick around so long? The problem relates to the way data is stored on large websites”，從這句話可知圖片之所以不能立即刪除跟它們存儲的方式有關(guān)。

32 C) When the URL is reused.

【解析】“In the case of Facebook, the company says data may hang around until the URL in question is reused”，從這句話可知只有URL被再次用到才會(huì)被刪除。

Passage Three

33. A

解析：第一段原文可以找到對應(yīng)句子，即some iced coffees contain as many calories as a hot dinner.

34. B

解析：第一段原文中有對應(yīng)語句，即Better skip dinner or hit the gym afterwards.

35. C

解析：在此句中，“The WCRF has estimated that 19,000 cancers a year in Britain could be prevented…”，關(guān)鍵詞prevented可以得知答案為C選項(xiàng)。

Section C

36. diverse

37. tragic

38. commit

39. outcome

40. scale

41. colleagues

42. accurate

43. averages

45. Students with high hope set themselves higher goals and know how to work to attain them,

51.

解析：文中提到…into physically aggression or violence，而此處在become后就要用aggression的形容詞形式。

Section B

Passage One

52) A solve virtually existing all problems

細(xì)節(jié)題。抓住時(shí)間點(diǎn)“In the early 2oth century” 我們從第一句 “offer solutions to almost every problem” 便可知道答案。選擇A選項(xiàng)。

53) D They realized that science and technology alone were no guarantee for a better world.

推論題。 我們首先比較容易排除A和C項(xiàng)。B項(xiàng)具有迷惑性，關(guān)鍵是看“the stability of a society depended heavily on humanistic study”這個(gè)選項(xiàng)仔細(xì)看就會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)說得太絕對了，社會(huì)的問題主要是靠人文主義的研究?顯然不是很恰當(dāng)。我們從下面那句也可以推斷出選D比較恰當(dāng)。 “Two world wars and a Great Depression rocked the confidence of many people that scientific expertise alone could create a prosperous and ordered world.”

54) C America is lagging behind in the STEMS disciplines.

細(xì)節(jié)題。主要在第二段里找答案。從段落后兩句“There is considerable and justified concern that the United States is falling behind much of the rest of the developed world in these essential disciplines.” 我們可以推斷出是選C選項(xiàng)。 A和D選項(xiàng)比較容易排除。不選B選項(xiàng)，因?yàn)槲恼轮?“India, China, Japan, and other regions seem to be seizing technological leadership.” seem to 表明這幾個(gè)國家只是有種趨勢，但還沒有have overtaken。

55) A Insufficient funding.

細(xì)節(jié)題。我們在第三段里可以找到答案。 從“…are seriously underfunded…” “Humanists are usually among the lowest-paid faculty members…” 這些信息中，可以很快知道是A選項(xiàng)。

56) C Humanistic thinking helps cultivate and define our culture and values.

細(xì)節(jié)題。本題不難。作者為什么如此著重人文主義的研究，其他三項(xiàng)都是非常具體的，且都不是重點(diǎn)。只有C選項(xiàng)符合。且我們從最后這一句 “But try to imagine our world as well without the remarkable works that have defined our culture and values.” 及作者的語氣可以更加確定是C選項(xiàng)。

Passage Two

57. D. It will be some time before a new Einstein emerges.

解析：這道題針對開頭兩節(jié)。A和C答案比較容易排除，A說愛因斯坦把數(shù)學(xué)推到了一個(gè)極限，C說在將來的兩百年都不會(huì)有物理學(xué)家超過愛因斯坦，這兩個(gè)都明顯不合文章大意。B答案說需要一個(gè)愛因斯坦才能建立一種大一統(tǒng)理論，屬于過度推理，并且細(xì)節(jié)性太強(qiáng)了。D答案是正確答案，很多同學(xué)不敢選D的原因是，因?yàn)橛行┛茖W(xué)家們認(rèn)為愛因斯坦或許還沒有誕生或許還是個(gè)小嬰兒，他們認(rèn)為這樣一來就有可能愛因斯坦已經(jīng)存在了。但是這句話里面的愛因斯坦是代表偉大的科學(xué)家的意思，那么這個(gè)題目選擇D就是正確的，大家都同意的是像愛因斯坦那樣偉大的科學(xué)家還需要一定的時(shí)間才會(huì)出現(xiàn)。

58. B. His independent and abstract thinking

解析：B他獨(dú)立與抽象思維能力。這一段是文章中間部分的內(nèi)容概括。根據(jù)上下文意思推斷，愛因斯坦成功的原因，不能說是他在音樂方面的天分，也不能說他的努力或者他在數(shù)學(xué)方面的深厚基礎(chǔ)，因此答案選擇B。

59. D. They often go into fields yielding greater financial benefits.

解析：正確答案選擇D。這段文章是在問今天的物理學(xué)家們的情況， A說他們?nèi)狈Ψ治瞿芰�，B說他們擅長處理實(shí)際問題，C說他們重視發(fā)表文章，都是從根據(jù)文章細(xì)節(jié)中捏造出來的錯(cuò)誤選項(xiàng)。D是對于文章內(nèi)容的一個(gè)總結(jié)概括，數(shù)量眾多的物理學(xué)家進(jìn)入了更有經(jīng)濟(jì)利益的領(lǐng)域。

60. D. Nobody will read papers on apparently ridiculous theories.

解析：正確答案選擇D。結(jié)合Greene講的話，他說What an idea!還說是需要把頭往墻上撞的人才會(huì)相信能找到個(gè)解決方案呢!說明內(nèi)容實(shí)在是比較荒誕。

61. B. was little known in academic circles

解析：正確答案選擇B，說的是愛因斯坦在學(xué)術(shù)圈里面默默無聞，跟原文里面的“by a virtual unknown”相對應(yīng)。有迷惑性的選擇項(xiàng)是D,因?yàn)槲闹刑岬搅藧垡蛩固沟奈恼聸]有配上腳注和注釋footnote and citations.但是D選擇項(xiàng)是說，愛因斯坦不懂得論文的格式，這個(gè)屬于過度推理了。

63 D abandoning abandon 放棄，once unshakeable orthodoxy表示曾經(jīng)不可動(dòng)搖的做法，也就是現(xiàn)在要放棄了。

64 A with struggle with表示同…斗爭，介詞搭配，這里表示設(shè)法應(yīng)對廣告收入和報(bào)紙銷售量下降的局面。

65 B intends intend to表示打算…,從后面的at the beginning of 2011，可知還沒有這么做，只是計(jì)劃或者打算這么做。

67 A on 和side搭配，on the side of …表示擁護(hù)…;站在…一邊。

68 D charge 本詞在文章中多次出現(xiàn)，charge sb表示向某人收費(fèi)。

69 C such as 表示舉例，從后面舉London's Evening Standard作為例子，可知應(yīng)該選such as.

70 B free 前面提到abandon readership revenue，即放棄讀者收益，由此可知應(yīng)該是make print editions free.

71 C acknowledged 表示承認(rèn)，這里表示Arthur Sulzberger承認(rèn)這么做是一種賭博。

72 C bet 打賭，賭注，從前面的gamble可知應(yīng)該選bet。

75 B While while在這里表示對比，從上下文可知NYT與美國其他報(bào)紙不同。

76 D claim 聲稱，宣稱，這里是說NYT聲稱自己是全國范圍的報(bào)紙。

77 C maintains 維持，運(yùn)營，即NYT還在世界其他地方運(yùn)營著26個(gè)辦公室。

78 A like 從下文可知NYT和印刷行業(yè)的其他公司一樣，也受到金融危機(jī)的影響，所以選like，表示同…一樣。

80 C suffered 遭受，suffer a loss遭受損失，常見搭配。

81 D loan 貸款，前文提到公司損失了很多錢，所以需要從別處借錢來補(bǔ)充資金。

82. There is no denying that you ___________(越仔細(xì)越好) in dealing with this matter.

解析：can never be too careful / can not be too careful

【考點(diǎn)解釋】本題考查“越仔細(xì)越好”“再…也不為過”的固定搭配，即can never be too/can not be too + adj.

【原句精釋】無可否認(rèn)，處理這件事，越仔細(xì)越好。

83. Only when I reached my thirties __________________________ (我才意識到讀書是不能被忽視的)

解析：did I realize that reading cannot be neglected did I realize that reading is unignorable

【考點(diǎn)解釋】本題考查由only when 引起的局部倒裝。當(dāng)only when置于句首，主句用局部倒裝，即將助動(dòng)詞置于主語前面。only when引導(dǎo)句子時(shí)態(tài)為過去時(shí)(reached)，為保持時(shí)態(tài)一致，主句助動(dòng)詞用did;注意被動(dòng)語態(tài)的使用，reading與neglect為被動(dòng)關(guān)系。同時(shí)也可以使用be+adj的結(jié)構(gòu)。

【原句精釋】直到三十歲，我才意識不能忽視讀書。

84. Much ___________________ (使研究人員感到驚訝)，the outcome of the experiment was far better than they had expected.

解析：to the researchers’ surprise

【考點(diǎn)解釋】本題考查固定搭配 to one’s surprise 使…驚訝的是…

85. Oh, my, I can’t find my key; __________________________(我一定是把它放在哪兒了)。

解析：I must have left / put it somewhere.

【考點(diǎn)解釋】本題考查對過去事情的肯定的猜測，即must have+過去分詞，leave與put都有放置的意思，但leave強(qiáng)調(diào)遺忘在…，較之put，leave更貼合題意。

【原句精釋】天啊，我找不到鑰匙。我一定是把它放在哪兒了。

86.I ________________________(寧愿加入你們?nèi)プ隽x工)than go to the beach for a holiday.

解析：would rather join you as a volunteer

【考點(diǎn)解釋】考查結(jié)構(gòu)“寧愿…也不愿…”, 因題干中已存在“than go”的結(jié)構(gòu)，只能使用 “would rather do rather than do”。加入… join sb

【原句精釋】我寧愿加入你們?nèi)プ隽x工，也不愿到海邊去度假。
