1、考博英语模拟试卷 138及答案与解析 一、 Reading Comprehension 0 There can be no question about the dangers of heroin use. What may start out innocently enough as a desire to experience a new kind of high may progress with extreme rapidity to an almost continuous type of nightmare existence. The heroin user may begin
2、by snorting or inhaling the drug, progress to “skin popping“ (injecting it beneath the skin), and end up “mainlining“ it (injecting it directly into the bloodstream). If a hypodermic syringe is not available, the user may sever an artery and pour the heroin in with a spoon. Once users are “hooked“,
3、their entire lives become centered upon this white powder. They will do anything-lie, steal, cheat, even kill-to get that next fix. After a while, riley do not even experience a high; they simply need the drug to avoid the terrors of withdrawal. The habit demands more and more, and still more, of th
4、e drug. Even a highly paid corporation executive would find it difficult to support such a habit. Usually, the only way the addict can get enough money is through crime or prostitution. Thus, crime associated with heroin addiction is not a direct effect of the drug, but stems from the need to suppor
5、t the habit. In fact, heroin is an extremely effective depressant, which markedly reduces such motivational states as hunger and sex. How is it that this innocent-looking white powder can come to dominate the life of the abuser so completely? Within the first minute of heroin injection, there is a s
6、udden, climactic rush of feeling. This extremely pleasurable experience is followed by a “high“ which is characterized by lethargy, emotional detachment, a sense of well-being, and deep feelings of contentment. To illustrate, a heroin abuser may spend hours before a TV set, watching the dancing imag
7、es on the screen without becoming emotionally involved in the program content. But then comes the crushing aftermath. As the high begins to subside, so also does the sense of well-being. The euphoria of a moment ago is replaced by gnawing feelings of apprehension and anxiety. The bizarre cycle culmi
8、nates in an overwhelming sense of panic as the addict begins a frantic search for tile next fix. The victims of heroin addiction are legion-the addicts themselves, their families, and those they have robbed or otherwise brutalized in their quest for the “big H“. In recent years another innocent vict
9、im of heroin addiction has come to light, the newborn infant of an addicted mother. Studies of infants born to heroin-addicted mothers have found that more than two-thirds start out life as addicts. Within 96 hours of birth, most will show signs of withdrawal, including extreme irritability, tremors
10、, and vomiting. The incidence of withdrawal symptoms in the newborn depends on how long the mother has been addicted, on the amount of heroin she has taken, and on how close to delivery she was when she took her last dose. Traces of drugs taken as little as ten minutes prior to delivery have been fo
11、und in newborns. 1 We may infer from the passage that a curious desire to experience a high produced by heroin _. ( A) wont lead to addiction ( B) will rapidly make the person have a terrible dream ( C) may be disastrous ( D) may immediately endanger the existence of the person who tries 2 The worst
12、 thing of taking drugs is that the habit _. ( A) reduces a persons motivational states ( B) drives the addict mad for more drugs so that he cant get rid of it ( C) results in prostitution ( D) makes the user cut the blood vessel 3 Which of the following is NOT experienced by heroin abuser? ( A) A fe
13、eling of satisfaction. ( B) A state of being sleepy or unnaturally tired. ( C) A state of indifference to the surroundings. ( D) A feeling of achievement. 4 According to the passage the severity of withdrawal symptoms in the newborn is _. ( A) proportional to the degree of addiction of the mother (
14、B) measured on how much heroin the baby takes ( C) based on how long the newborn has been addicted ( D) judged by the last dose its mother takes 5 The word “hooked“ in paragraph 2 most probably means _. ( A) fastened with heroin ( B) trying a little bit of heroin ( C) used large amount of heroin ( D
15、) become dependent on heroin 5 Think of all the criminals who have killed, all the soldiers who have killed; consider the mass murder of Jews in Nazi Germany. Is there something inside human beings that allows us to take part in this sort of violence, or were these people swept along by the situatio
16、n? Stanley Milgram, a New York psychologist, designed an experiment to find answers to this question, paying adult males four and a half dollars to act the role of “teacher“ in a complicated experiment. The “teachers“ were to ask questions of a “learner“, a middle-aged man in another room. If the le
17、arner gave an incorrect answer, the teacher was instructed to turn a knob to send an electric current to the learners chair. There were thirty positions on the control knob, with the shocks ranging from 15 to 450 volts, the last position marked “Danger: Severe Shock“. The teachers were told to incre
18、ase the severity of the shock with each incorrect response. With the first few shocks, the learner could be heard over the intercom, grunting and moaning. When the dial reached 150, he demanded that the experiment be ended; shortly afterwards, at 180 volts, he began to complain of the pain. At 300 v
19、olts, he complained about his heart condition, screamed, and no longer responded to the questions; but the teachers who complanined about their roles in the experiment were told the experiment had to continue. According to the rules, the learners failure to respond was an “error“, so he must be shoc
20、ked. A group of psychiatrists was asked for predictions. Certainly, they said, most people would not punish the victim beyond 150 volts. Furthermore, they predicted fewer than four percent would persist up to 300 volts; only abnormal individuals-less than one tenth of a percent-would proceed to 450
21、volts. And, in fact, nearly every “teacher“ did protest-each became concerned that he might injure the learner, and many said they could not continue to follow instructions. At 180 volts, one “teacher“ said, “Hes hollering. He cant stand it; what if anything happens to him? I mean who is going to ta
22、ke responsibility if anything happens to that gentleman?“ When the experimenter said he would accept responsibility, the teacher meekly responded, “All right.“ Some teachers, alarmed by the silence in the next room, called out to the learner to answer so they wouldnt have to continue shocking him. I
23、n fact, most of the teachers protested, but the important thing is that they did not disobey their instruction. Sixty-two percent of all the subjects delivered shocks all the way up to 450 volts-the average highest shock was 370 volts. Of course, the learner was not being shocked. Even his screams w
24、ere tape-recorded. But this experiment and similar variations of it have been repeated several times, and the results are invariably the same: in the presence of authority, in a situation governed by rules. Personality tests given to the subjects who delivered the shocks of 450 volts show that they
