1、考研英语(阅读)模拟试卷 501 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)_“Nanny“, “tyrant“these were among the charges hurl
2、ed at Michael Bloomberg, New Yorks mayor, when he proposed a ban on big fizzy-drink bottles last May. The billionaire shrugged and pushed forward. However even Mr Bloomberg must heed a court order. The American Beverage Association, which represents Coca-Cola and other soda companies, has sued. Mr B
3、loombergs ban is due to start on March 12th, but a judge may intervene. Three years after Michelle Obama launched her Lets Move! campaign, the fight against childhood obesity faces a tactical problem. Recent years have been dipping obesity rates in a few places, including New York, Mississippi and P
4、hiladelphia. But 17% of American children are still obese. The question is how to speed up progress. Further bans look increasingly unlikely. Voluntary programs remain politically much easier. Mrs Obama has exhorted firms to take action. Many companies have. On March 6th the Partnership for a Health
5、ier America, a business group, published a report praising its members for putting more grocers in poor areas and healthier foods at restaurants. Sixteen food and beverage companies have promised to slash a combined 1.5 trillion calories from their products by 2015. Their first progress report is du
6、e in June. The long-term effect of these efforts may be slim. For example, even if the food and drink firms keep their promise , they would cut just 14 calories from the average Americans daily diet. Regulations might bring bigger change, but recent years suggest that such rules will come slowly, if
7、 at all. Congress did pass a law requiring healthier school lunches, though its effects are limited. Other attempts at national regulation have stalled. Four federal agencies studied voluntary guidelines to limit junk-food advertisements to children. Under pressure from Congress, the agencies droppe
8、d the effort. Obamacare requires that all restaurants and cinemas post the number of calories in their foods. The Food and Drug Administration proposed a rule for menus in 2011, but has yet to finalise the regulation. Cities and states are more likely to act than Congress (hardly a high bar) , but t
9、hey face their own challenges. Last year the beverage lobby spent more than $2.8m to defeat a soda tax in the small city of Richmond, California. Even Mr Bloomberg, the anti-obesity crusades most fervent warrior, can only do so much.(分数:10.00)(1).We know from the first paragraph that Michael Bloombe

14、ht back by visitors to the US is how friendly, courteous, and helpful most Americans were to them. To be fair, this observation is also frequently made of Canada and Canadians , and should best be considered North American. There are, of course, exceptions. Small-minded officials, rude waiters, and
15、ill-mannered taxi drivers are hardly unknown in the US. Yet it is an observation made so frequently that it deserves comment. For a long period of time and in many parts of the country, a traveler was a welcome break in an otherwise dull existence. Dullness and loneliness were common problems of the
16、 families who generally lived distant from one another. Strangers and travelers were welcome sources of diversion, and brought news of the outside world. The harsh realities of the frontier also shaped this tradition of hospitality. Someone traveling alone, if hungry, injured, or ill, often had nowh
17、ere to turn except to the nearest cabin or settlement. It was not a matter of choice for the traveler or merely a charitable impulse on the part of the settlers. It reflected the harshness of daily life: if you didnt take in the stranger and take care of him, there was no one else who would. And som
18、eday, remember, you might be in the same situation. Today there are many charitable organizations which specialize in helping the weary traveler. Yet, the old tradition of hospitality to strangers is still very strong in the US, especially in the smaller cities and towns away from the busy tourist t
19、rails. “I was just traveling through, got talking with this American, and pretty soon he invited me home for dinneramazing. “Such observations reported by visitors to the US are not uncommon, but are not always understood properly. The casual friendliness of many Americans should be interpreted neit
20、her as superficial nor as artificial, but as the result of a historically developed cultural tradition. As is true of any developed society, in America a complex set of cultural signals, assumptions, and conventions underlies all social interrelationships. And, of course, speaking a language does no
21、t necessarily mean that someone understands social and cultural patterns. For example, when an American uses the word “friend“, the cultural implications of the word may be quite different from those it has in the visitors language and culture. It takes more than a brief encounter on a bus to distin
22、guish between courteous convention and individual interest. Yet, being friendly is a virtue that many Americans value highly and expect from both neighbors and strangers.(分数:10.00)(1).What can we learn from the first paragraph?(分数:2.00)A.All of the North Americans are friendly.B.All of the Americans
23、 are friendly.C.Visitors consider most Americans to be friendly.D.Canadians are not so friendly as Americans.(2).The families in frontier settlements _.(分数:2.00)A.welcome the visitors to break their dull existence.B.usually travel a long distance.C.dont like to communicate with each other.D.bring ne
24、ws of the outside world.(3).According to Paragraph 3, the frontier settlement is hospitable because _.(分数:2.00)A.of their harshness of daily lifeB.it is a remote placeC.of their charitable impulseD.the travelers are always alone(4).Which of the following is not true according to Paragraph 4?(分数:2.00
