1、考研英语(阅读)模拟试卷 359 及答案与解析Part ADirections: Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. (40 points)0 “Always“. “Never“. These are probably the two most powerful words in the English language. Even more powerful than yes and no, since saying yes(or no)ap
2、plies to the moment or subject at hand, while saying “always“ or “never“ sets the tone for everything to come. The two words can be powerful in a beneficial way, or in an adversely negative way. If you use “always“ in affirmations such as “I am always increasing my level of joy and aliveness“, or “I
3、 am always growing nearer and nearer to my divine reality“, or “I am always at the right place at the right time“, etc. , then these uses of the word “always“ become an empowerment. However, when we use the word “always“ in negative situations, such as “I always get it wrong“, or “I always catch a c
4、old“, etc. then we are “creating our reality“ in a powerful way.The use of the word ALWAYS is very powerful, so is the use of NEVER. While I encourage you to find empowering ways to use the word “always“, I also encourage you to drop completely the word NEVER. One cannot use that word positively? Ev
5、en if you say “I never catch a cold“, or “My husband never cheats on me“, or whatever, the focus is still on something you dont want in your lifea cold, a cheating husband, etc. It is better to replace those statements(and thoughts)with “I am always healthy“, or if youre not quite comfortable with t
6、hat statement, then say “Each day, I get healthier and healthier“. Or rather than focus on the picture of a cheating husband, better to focus on “My husband is always faithful to me“, or “My husband and I are faithful and honest with each other“. You can ask your subconscious to help you root out yo
7、ur use of the word “always“ and the word “never“. Ask your subconscious to alert you when you use those words whether in thought or conversation. When you catch yourself “creating your reality“ in a way that does not meet your highest vision of a happy life, then rephrase your thought or statement.
8、If you find yourself saying “ I always“ followed by a negative projection, you could, at the least, replace the “always“ with “in the past, I . . . “(omitting the word “always“ or “never“). In this way, you at least keep that picture tied to your past, and free your future for something which is mor
9、e in keeping with your dreams and vision for yourself. I leave you with these thoughts: May you always be blessed with many wonderfull experiences. May your heart always be full of love for yourself and for others. So be it!1 The text suggests that_.(A)the word “never“ cannot be powerful in a benefi
10、cial way(B) the word “always“ can only be powerful in a positive way(C) the use of the word “always“ is creating a reality powerfully(D)yes and “no“ should be replaced by “always“ and “never“2 According to the author, the word “always“_.(A)is usually used to talk about happiness in our lives(B) may
11、be used either in a beneficial or in a negative way(C) is used more in a beneficial way than in a negative way(D)can be extremely powerful when used in a negative way3 The author maintains that the word “never“_.(A)can scarcely be used positively(B) can sometimes be used positively(C) can be used in
12、 an empowering way(D)should be used in a negative situation4 In the authors opinion, the word “always“_.(A)should be discarded completely(B) should be used more subconsciously(C) should be used to talk about past events(D)should be less used in negative situations 5 The author insists that_.(A)what
13、you prefer to “always“ have in your life, just say so(B) everybody is always blessed with love and great happiness(C) your future is based on your dreams and vision for yourself(D)whatever you say or whatever you dream will come true someday5 In May, USA Today reported that the federal government is
14、 collecting data on the phone calls made and received by tens of million of Americans. According to the programs defenders, your grocery store, your cable company, and your credit card company can identify you based on your phone number, but the National Security Agency(NSA)cant. At least, thats the
15、 implication when people say the database is legal because the information in it has been “anonymized“i. e. , stripped of names and addresses. But phone numbers can readily be linked to names and addresses using publicly available information. The claim that there s really nothing personal or privat
16、e about the phone call records which tell the NSA who calls whom, when, and for how longis a tenuous basis for defending data collection that ordinarily requires a court order or the customers consent. One major phone company, Qwest, refused to give the NSA its customers records. Officials there kne
17、w they could face hefty penalties under at least two statutes, the Communications Act and the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, if they revealed this information without their customers permission unless they were legally required to do so. The NSAs defenders cite Qwests refusal as evidence the
18、 program is voluntary and therefore legal. In fact, it indicates just the opposite: Had Qwest been presented with a lawful subpoena or court order demanding the data, it almost certainly would have complied. If it hadnt, the government could have forced it to do so. Instead, USA Today reported, the
19、NSA resorted to extra-legal methods, pressuring the phone companies to divulge the data through appeals to patriotism, warnings about terrorism, and threats of lost government contracts. Presumably it took this route because it would have had a hard time convincing the Foreign Intelligence Surveilla
20、nce Court that every Americans phone records were “relevant“ to a terrorism investigation. Maybe the NSA shouldnt have to meet that standard when it does automated analyses of such data aimed at preventing terrorist attacks. If so, theres a simple solution: Ask Congress to change the relevant statut
21、es. Otherwise, divulging the records to the government violates the law.6 It was reported that the federal government is_.(A)defending its right to collect data on the phone calls of people(B) collecting data on the phone calls of people for security reasons(C) interested in getting the personal inf
