1、考研英语二(阅读)-试卷 6及答案解析(总分:60.00,做题时间:90 分钟)一、Reading Comprehensio(总题数:6,分数:60.00)1.Section II Reading Comprehension(分数:10.00)_2.Part ADirections: Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D.(分数:10.00)_A young consultant“s life is tiring. A typical week s
2、tarts before dawn on Monday, with a rush to the airport and a flight to wherever the client is based. A typical brain-for-hire can expect to stay in hotels at least three nights a week, texting a distant lover. “ It“s quite normal to spend a year living out of a suitcase,“ sighs one London-based con
3、sultant. An ex-McKinseyite in New York adds that 15 to 18-hour weekdays are normal and six to eight-hour Saturdays and Sundays common. It can be draining, she admits. So the job appeals to “ insecure over-achievers “a phrase widely used in the industry“who are always worried that they haven“t done e
4、nough work,“ jokes a former employee of Bain except enough sleep.(分数:10.00)(1).McKinseyite is cited in the first paragraph to_.(分数:2.00)A.prove the impossibility of being a qualified consultantB.picture the tragic life of a young consultantC.show the long working hours for the young consultantD.desc
5、ribe the exhausting job of being a young consultant(2).The underlined phrase “insecure over-achievers“(Para 2, Line 1)refers to_.(分数:2.00)A.those who feel insecure of their life and futureB.those who are unemployed but trying to find a jobC.those who are working very hard to get a more stable jobD.t
6、hose who are very experienced and rich but feel insecure(3).Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 3 ?(分数:2.00)A.Young people want to live in big cities.B.The best-paid jobs can be found only in big cites.C.The first-class consultants generally work in big cities.D.Everything happens
7、in London.(4).The last two paragraphs tell us that_.(分数:2.00)A.the present system is to some degree favorable to both firms and consultantsB.consultancies outside big cities need clever peopleC.consultants like travelling because they want to become successfulD.consultancies prefer to run their busi

9、mental frequency. For voice, the centre of that frequency lies mostly below 300Hz depending on the speaker“s sex. Information is conveyed through simultaneous higher-frequency overtones(泛音)and additional components that can stretch up to 20,000 Hz(20kHz). Modern hearing aids are able to distinguish
10、only a small part of that range, typically between 300Hz and 6kHz, reducing noise and amplifying those frequencies where the wearer“s hearing is the weakest. But differentiating elements of many common parts of speech occur in higher frequencies. This is the result both of harmonics(和声)that ripple o
11、ut from the main tone, and from non-voiced elements used to utter consonants(辅音), which employ the tongue, teeth, cheeks and lips. Take the words “sailing“ and “failing“. Cut off the higher frequencies and the two are indistinguishable. The problem is compounded on telephone calls, which do not tran
12、smit frequencies below 300Hz or above 3.3kHz. People with hearing aids experience this problem constantly, says Brian Moore of the University of Cambridge. Typical hearing loss tends to be most acute at frequencies above 10kHz, which contain quieter sounds but where speech can still include importan
13、t cues. Older hearing aids cut off at no higher than 6kHz, but much modern equipment stretches this range to 8-10kHz. However, a problem remains, Dr Moore says, because bespoke hearing-aid calibrations for individual users, called “fittings“ , do not properly boost the gain of these higher frequenci
14、es. So Dr Moore and his colleagues have come up with a better method. Their approach can be applied to many existing devices, and is also being built into some newer ones. A key step in any fitting involves testing an individual“s ability to hear sounds in different frequency bands. Each hearing los
15、s is unique, and for most users a standard profile would be too loud in some ranges and too soft in others. But current tests pay scant attention to the higher frequencies that a device“s tiny speaker can produce, regardless of whether the user needs a boost. Dr Moore“s new test, known as CAM2, whic
16、h is both a set of specifications and an implementation in software, extends and modifies fittings to include frequencies as high as 10kHz. When the results are used to calibrate a modern hearing aid, the result is greater intelligibility(可懂度)of speech compared with existing alternatives. CAM2 also
17、improves the experience of listening to music, which makes greater use of higher frequencies than speech does.(分数:10.00)(1).Audiphones can help people with hearing problem by_.(分数:2.00)A.reducing noise and amplifying higher-frequencyB.cutting down noise and enhancing certain frequenciesC.stressing h
18、igher frequencies and impairing lower onesD.weakening the frequency range between 300Hz and 6kHz(2).Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 2?(分数:2.00)A.Telephone can transmit a wide range of frequencies.B.Higher frequencies are more important than lower ones.C.People may use many part
19、s of the mouth to utter consonants.D.Cutting off higher frequencies will not influence understanding.(3).We can infer from Paragraph 3 that_.(分数:2.00)A.people with hearing loss can hear nothing at allB.modern hearing aids help people hear everythingC.there are still shortcomings in modern hearing ai
20、dsD.Dr Moore and his team have invented new hearing devices(4).According to the text, CAM2 can_.(分数:2.00)A.boost higher frequenciesB.reach the highest frequencyC.make speech more confusingD.replace a modem hearing aid(5).The text mainly focuses on modern hearing aid“s _.(分数:2.00)A.drawbacks and prob
21、lemsB.advantages and disadvantagesC.development and advancementD.shortcomings and improvementIn 1977, the year before I was born, a Senate committee led by George McGovem published its landmark “ Dietary Goals for the United States,“ urging Americans to eat less high-fat red meat, eggs and dairy and
22、 replace them with more calories from fruits, vegetables and especially carbohydrates. By 1980 that wisdom was codified. The US Department of Agriculture(USDA)issued its first dietary guidelines, and one of the primary directives was to avoid cholesterol(胆固醇)and fat of all sorts. The National Instit
23、utes of Health(NIH)recommended that all Americans over the age of 2 cut fat consumption, and that same year the government announced the results of a $ 150 million study, which had a clear message; Eat less fat and cholesterol to reduce your risk of a heart attack. The food industryand American eati
24、ng habitsjumped in step. Grocery shelves filled with “light“ yogurts, low-fat microwave dinners, cheese-flavored crackers, cookies. Families like mine followed the advice; beef disappeared from the dinner plate, eggs were replaced at breakfast with cereal or yolk-free beaters, and whole milk almost
