2014年英语一27题

A。正确答案。独立结构。B。tear做动词的时候是撕的意思，tearing跟眼泪没有关系了，是撕下来的东西或者是撕的这个动作的意思。因此不对。C。用and连接两个句子本来是可以的，但是前后两个句子一个是过去时一个是现在时，所以错。D。两个句子都是过去时，但是这样的话，一个句号里面就包括了两个独立的句子，是不行的。中间加一个and就可以。

您好，第27题是：The figures include a number of costs _______ with air pollution. 这个句子是个主谓宾的句型，其中：1）主语 = the figures2）谓语动词 = include（一般现在时）3）宾语 = costs（其中 a number of 作量词）因为句子的基本结构都到齐了，那么后面的就不能是主句的主干结构之一，那就剩下（定语）（状语），和（补语）了。这里的（补语）显然不符合句型要求，那就剩下（定语）和（状语）。with air pollution 本身是（介词短语）通常在句中可以充当（伴随状语），但在这个之前有个空格，表示 with air pollution 在句中无法充当（伴随状语），只能是（介词+宾语）的（介宾结构），而使用（介词+宾语）的结构，表示前面可能是个（不及物动词）或是某种（固定搭配）的用法，也就是这个 with air pollution 是（介词+宾语）充当前面空格的宾语，但主句的主干（主谓宾）都到齐了，那么这个空格的（谓语动词）就只能是（非谓语动词）的用法，作为修饰宾语 costs 的后置定语了。非谓语动词有（现在分词）（过去分词）和（动词不定式）这3种。列表中只有B（过去式/过去分词），G（是过去式/过去分词），J（是过去式/过去分词）这3个选择。B）associate 可以是（及物动词【译为：把……和……联系在一起】）和（不及物动词【与……交往，结交】），作及物动词时，常和 with 通用，构成 be associated with somethiing 的用法；或是 associate A with B 的用法；G）describe 为（及物动词【译为：描述；标示；画出】）；J）innovate 可以是（及物动词【译为：革新；变革，改革】）和（不及物动词【译为：引进（新东西，新产品）】）所以空格是 B，构成 ... costs associated with air pollution（和空气污染相关的花费）符合句子语意，也符合 associated with something 的固定搭配用法。还有需要注意的 welfare costs 中的 costs 译为【成本】，而 a number of costs 中的 costs 译为【花费】。希望这样的解析能够帮到您。

2014考研英语一不难。考研英语复习计划：1、重点是考研词汇、基本语法，同时，阅读理解训练也要开始。语法等不会有什么变化，词汇每年大纲虽然有所修订，但变动不大，因此找本前一年的《大纲》先看着。有许多同学正好在这一阶段考CET6级，由于6级和考研难度大致相当，词汇量也差不多，所以可以结合起来复习。2、词汇方面，应该在已经大体掌握意思的基础上，开始深入掌握用法，尤其是固定搭配和习惯用法。另一个重点是解决长难句，掌握各种句式。同时要加大阅读量，一方面提高阅读能力，另一方面也通过阅读来巩固语法、词汇和句式。本阶段必须进行相当量的题型专项练习，通过做题来巩固。3、冲刺复习阶段的重要任务也有两个，一是进行大量模考练习，二是强化训练短文写作。对短文写作的强化，首先要对可能的命题范围作出预测。考研英语作文命题不会冷僻，不会很专业，通常都与学习生活紧密联系，或反映当前社会热点问题。例如保持健康、如何读书、环境保护、乱承诺等都曾是出题范围。了解到这些大概范围后，有意识地多阅读一些相关文章，熟悉有关观点、句式、词汇，多动笔写写，在考场上就可成竹在胸。

a sense of direction 方向感，可以视为固定用法。这里的sense就像我们说的，第六感之类的，而feel一般经过触摸，或者环境所造成的感觉。

我这里有14年英语一两篇阅读真题，你看看吧，或许对你有帮助Text 1 In order to “change lives for the better” and reduce “dependency”, George Osborne, Chancellor of the Exchequer, introduced the "upfront work search" scheme. Only if the jobless arrive at the job centre with a CV, register for the online job search, and start looking for work will they be eligible for benefit—and then they should report weekly rather than fortnightly. What could be more reasonable?More apparent reasonableness followed. There will now be a seven-day wait for the jobseeker’s allowance. “Those first few days should be spent looking for work, not looking to sign on.” he claimed, “We’re doing these things because we know they help people stay off benefits and help those on benefits get into work faster.” Help? Really? On first hearing, this was the socially concerned chancellor, trying to change lives for the better, complete with “reforms” to an obviously indulgent system that demands too little effort from the newly unemployed to find work, and subsidises laziness. What motivated him, we were to understand was his zeal for “fundamental fairness”—protecting the taxpayer, controlling spending and ensuring that only the most deserving claimants received their benefits.Losing a job is hurting: you don’t skip down to the job centre with a song in your heart, delighted at the prospect of doubling your income from the generous state. It is financially terrifying, psychologically embarrassing and you know that support is minimal and extraordinarily hard to get. You are now not wanted; you are now excluded from the work environment that offers purpose and structure in your life. Worse, the crucial income to feed yourself and your family and pay the bills has disappeared. Ask anyone newly unemployed what they want and the answer is always: a job.But in Osborneland, your first instinct is to fall into dependency—permanent dependency if you can get it—supported by a state only too ready to indulge your falsehood. It is as though 20 years of ever –tougher reforms of the job search and benefit administration system never happened. The principle of British welfare is no longer that you can insure yourself against the risk of unemployment and receive unconditional payments if the disaster happens. Even the very phrase “jobseeker’s allowance” is about redefining the unemployed as a “jobseeker” who had no fundamental right to benefit he or she has earned through making national insurance contributions. Instead, the claimant receives a time-limited “allowance”, conditional on actively seeking a job: no entitlement and no insurance, at £71.70 a week ,one of the least generous in the EU. 21. George Osborne’s scheme was intended to [A] provide the unemployed with easier access to benefits.[B] encourage jobseeker’ s active engagement in job seeking. [C] motivate the unemployed to report voluntarily. [D] guarantee jobseekers’ legitimate right to benefit. 22. The phase “to sign on”(Line 3,Para.2)most probably means [A] to check on the availability of jobs at the job centre. [B] to accept the government’s restrictions on the government. [C] to register for an allowance from the government. [D] to attend a governmental job-training program. 23. What prompted the chancellor to develop his scheme? [A] A desire to secure a better life for all. [B] An eagerness to protect the unemployed. [C] An urge to be generous to the claimants. [D] A passion to ensure fairness for taxpayers. 24. According to Paragraph 3, being unemployed makes one feel [A] uneasy. [B] enraged. [C] insulted. [D] guilty. 25. To which of the following would the author most probably agree? [A] The British welfare system indulges jobseekers’ laziness. [B] Osborne’s reform will reduce the risk of unemployment. [C] The jobseekers’ allowance has met their actual needs. [D] Unemployment benefits should not be made conditional.Text 2All around the world, lawyers generate more hostility than the members of any other profession—with the possible exception of journalism. But there are few places where clients have more grounds for complaint than America.During the decade before the economic crisis, spending on legal services in America grew twice as fast as inflation. The best lawyers made skyscrapers-full of money, tempting ever more students to pile into law schools. But most law graduates never get a big-firm job. Many of them instead become the kind of nuisance-lawsuit filer that makes the tort system a costly nightmare.There are many reasons for this. One is the excessive costs of a legal education. There is just one path for a lawyer in most American states; a four-year undergraduate degree in some unrelated subject, then a three-year law degree at one of 200 law schools authorized by the American Bar Association and an expensive preparation for the bar exam. This leaves today’s average law-school graduate with $100,000 of debt on top of undergraduate debts. Law-school debt means that they have to work fearsomely hard.Reforming the system would help both lawyers and their customers. Sensible ideas have been around for a long time, but the state-level bodies that govern the profession have been too conservative to implement them. One idea is to allow people to study law as an undergraduate degree. Another is to let students sit for the bar after only two years of law school. If the bar exam is truly a stern enough test for a would-be lawyer, those who can sit it earlier should be allowed to do so. Students who do need the extra training could cut their debt mountain by a third.The other reason why costs are so high is the restrictive guild-like ownership structure of the business. Except in the District of Columbia, non-lawyers may not own any share of a law firm. This keeps fees high and innovation slow. There is pressure for change from within the profession, but opponents of change among the regulators insist that keeping outsiders out of a law firm isolates lawyers from the pressure to make money rather than serve clients ethically.In fact, allowing non-lawyers to own shares in law firms would reduce costs and improve services to customers, by encouraging law firms to use technology and to employ professional managers to focus on improving firms’ efficiency. After all, other countries, such as Australia and Britain, have started liberalizing their legal professions. America should follow. 26. A lot of students take up law as their profession due to[A] the growing demand from clients[B] the increasing pressure of inflation[C] the prospect of working in big firms[D] the attraction of financial rewards27. Which of the following adds to the costs of legal education in most American states?[A] Higher tuition fees for undergraduate studies [B] Receiving training by professional associations[C] Admissions approval from the bar association[D] Pursuing a bachelors degree in another major28. Hindrance to the reform of the legal system originates from[A] the rigid bodies governing the profession[B] lawyers’ and clients’ strong resistance[C] the stern exam for would-be lawyers.[D] non-professionals’ sharp criticism29. The guild-like ownership structure is considered “restrictive” partly because[A] prevents lawyers from gaining due profits.[B] bans outsiders’ involvement in the profession.[C] aggravates the ethical situation in the trade.[D] keeps lawyers from holding law-firm shares.30. In the text, the author mainly discusses[A] the factors that help make a successful lawyer in America.[B] a problem in America’s legal profession and solutions to it.[C] the role undergraduate studies in America’s legal education.[D] flawed ownership of America’s law firms and its causes.
