长风破浪会有时,直挂云帆济沧海。住在富人区的她2023年考研考博-考博英语-武汉大学考试历年高频考点真题荟萃带答案第1卷一.综合题(共10题)1.翻译题中国作为一个发展中国家,面临着发展经济和保护环境的双重任务。然而,我国人口众多,资源相对不足,经济规模越来越大,经济发展与资源和环境之间的矛盾日益突出。环境污染严重,生态状况恶化、资源耗费巨大、回收率低而导致环境破坏等问题,已成为中国经济保持可持续发展的瓶颈。从国情出发,中国在全面推进现代化的进程中,已将环境保护视为一项基本国策,将实现经济可持续发展视为一项重要战略,同时在全国范围内开展污染防治工作和生态环境保护活动,环境恶化的状况基本得到了控制。实践证明,我们协调经济发展与环境保护两者之间关系的做法是行之有效的。人类发展只有合理地利用自然界,与自然界保持和谐关系,才能维持和发展人类所创造的文明,才能与自然界共生共荣、协调发展。中国作为国际社会的成员,在努力保护自己环境的同时,还积极参与国际环保事务,促进国际环保合作,并认真履行国际义务。所有这些都充分表明了中国政府和人民保护全球环境的诚意和决心。Directions:TranslatethefollowingparagraphfromChineseintoEnglish.PleasewriteyouranswerontheANSWERSHEET.2.翻译题改革开放以来,中国找到了一条适合自己国情的促进和发展人权的道路。中国是一个历史悠久、人口众多、资源和财富相对短缺的东方发展中国家。在这样一个国家促进人权,既不能照搬西方发达国家的人权发展模式,也不能因袭其他发展中国家的做法,只能从中国的国情出发,探索具有自身特点的发展道路。改革开放以后,中国在总结历史经验和教训的基础上,找到了一条真正符合中国国情的促进人权发展的道路。这就是:将生存权和发展权放在首位,在改革、发展、稳定的条件下,全面推进人权。这条道路的特点是:在发展人权的基本方向上,坚持发展生产力和共同富裕的原则,立足于改善全国人民的生活和促进全国人民人权的发展。在促进人权的轻重缓急上,强调生存权、发展权的首要地位,同时兼顾公民的政治、经济、社会、文化权利和个人、集体权利的全面发展;在促进和保障人权的方式上,强调稳定是前提,发展是关键,改革是动力,法制是保障。20多年来,由于中国坚持了这条正确的发展道路,不仅使全国人民的生活状况和精神风貌大为改观,而且形成了一整套比较完备的保障人民民主权利的政治制度和法律体系,从而使人权建设在制度化、法律化的轨道上取得了长足的进展,人权状况呈现出不断改善的良好态势。Directions:TranslatethefollowingparagraphfromChineseintoEnglish.PleasewriteyouranswerontheANSWERSHEET.3.不定项选择题MrGordonisrightthatthesecondindustrialrevolutioninvolvednever-to-be-repeatedchanges.Butthatdoesnotmeanthatdriverlesscarscountfornothing.MessrsErixonandWeigelarealsorighttoworryabouttheWest'sdismalrecentrecordinproducingnewcompanies.Butmanyoldfirmsarenotrunbybureaucratsandhavereinventedthemselvesmanytimesover:GeneralElectricmustbeonatleastitsninthlife.Andtheimpactofgiantnewfirmsborninthepast20yearssuchasUber,GoogleandFacebookshouldnotbeunderestimated:theyhavealltheSchumpeteriancharacteristicstheauthorsadmire.Onthepessimists'sidethestrongestargumentreliesnotoncloselywatchingcorporateandinvestorbehaviorbutratheronmacro-levelstatisticsonproductivity.Thefiguresfromrecentyearsaretrulydismal.KarimFoda,oftheBrookingsInstitution,calculatesthatlaborproductivityintherichworldisgrowingatitsslowestratesince1950.Totalfactorproductivity(whichtriestomeasureinnovation)hasgrownatjust0.1%inadvancedeconomiessince2004,wellbelowitshistoricalaverage.Optimistshavetworetorts.Thefirstisthattheremustbesomethingwrongwiththefigures.OnepossibilityisthattheyfailtocountthehugeconsumersurplusgivenawayfreeofchargeontheInternet.Butthisisunconvincing.TheofficialfiguresmaywellbeunderstatingtheimpactoftheInternetrevolution,justastheydownplayedtheimpactofelectricityandcarsinthepast,buttheyarenotunderstatingitenoughtoexplaintherecentdeclineinproductivitygrowth.Another,secondlineofargumentthattheproductivityrevolutionhasonlyjustbegunismorepersuasive.OverthepastdecademanyITcompaniesmayhavefocusedonthingsthatweremore“funthanfundamental”inPaulKrugman'sphrase.ButSiliconValley'sbestcompaniesarecertainlyfocusingonthingsthatchangethematerialworld.UberandAirbnbarebringingdramaticimprovementstotwolargeindustriesthathavebeenmoreorlessstuckfordecades.MorganStanleyestimatesthatdriverlesscarscouldresultin$507billionayearofproductivitygainsinAmerica,mainlyfrompeoplebeingabletostareattheirlaptopsinsteadofattheroad.1.Whathasledtothepessimisticopinionconcerningtheworld'seconomy?2.Thefirstargumentontheoptimists'sideisunconvincingbecausetheofficialfigures().3.WhatistrueabouttheITcompaniesinSiliconValley?4.HowcandriverlesscarsbenefitAmericanindustries?问题1选项A.Itisbasedonmacro-levelstatisticsonproductivity.B.Itisbasedoncloseobservationoncorporateandinvestorbehavior.C.Itisduetothefactthatmanyoldfirmsarenotrunbybureaucrats.D.Itisduetothefactthatnotenoughnewfirmshavebeencreated.问题2选项A.arebothwrongandunconvincingB.downplaytheInternetrevolutionC.failtoincludetheconsumersurplusD.can'texplainthedeclineinproductivitygrowth问题3选项A.Theyhaveonlyfocusedonthefunpartoflife.B.Theyhavemadeadifferenceintherealworld.C.Theyhavemorepersuasiveproductivity.D.Theyhaveonlyjustbeguntodevelop.问题4选项A.DriverlesscarshaverevivedtwolargeAmericanindustries.B.Thesaleofdriverlesscarscanreachhundredsofbilliondollars.C.Thankstothempeoplefreefromdrivingcandomorecreativework.D.DriverlesscarshavestimulatedthedevelopmentofUberandAirbnb4.单选题Blackholesaren’texactlypoliteeaters.Forthefirsttime,scientistsobservedablackholebothdevouringastarandrippingaplasma“burp”asitconsumeditsmeal—anincrediblyrarefind.Scientistshavepreviouslyseenablackholeconsumeastar,andthey’vealsoseenblackholesspewsuperheatedmatter,butthisisthefirsttimethey’veseenbotheventsoccursocloselytogether.Viewingthisparticulardisappearingactatthecenterofanearbygalaxyhasshedlightonapreviouslytheoreticalphenomenonandbroughtresearchersclosertounderstandingthephysicsofblackholes.EversinceresearchersatOhioStateUniversitynoticedastarroughlythesizeofthesunbeingpulledintoablackholeinDecember2014,ateamofscientistsledbyJohnsHopkinsUniversityprofessorSjoertvanVelzenfixeditseyesonthehungryblackhole,locatedroughly300millionlightyearsfromEarth.Overthecourseofseveralmonths,vanVelzen’steamwatchedtheblackholesiphonmaterialfromthedoomedstaruntilitwasentirelydevoured.UsingacombinationofX-ray
