of all the changes that have taken place in english-language newspapers during the past quarter-century, perhaps the most far-reaching has been the inexorable decline in the scope and seriousness of their arts coverage.
it is difficult to the point of impossibility for the average reader under the age of forty to imagine a time when high-quality arts criticism could be found in most big-city newspapers. yet a considerable number of the most significant collections of criticism published in the 20th century consisted in large part of newspaper reviews. to read such books today is to marvel at the fact that their learned contents were once deemed suitable for publication in general-circulation dailies.
we are even farther removed from the unfocused newspaper reviews published in england between the turn of the 20th century and the eve of world war ii, at a time when newsprint was dirt-cheap and stylish arts criticism was considered an ornament to the publications in which it appeared. in those far-off days, it was taken for granted that the critics of major papers would write in detail and at length about the events they covered. theirs was a serious business, and even those reviewers who wore their learning lightly, like george bernard shaw and ernest newman, could be trusted to know what they were about. these men believed in journalism as a calling, and were proud to be published in the daily press. ―so few authors have brains enough or literary gift enough to keep their own end up in journalism,‖ newman wrote, ―that i am tempted to define ?journalism‘ as ?a term of contempt applied by writers who are not read to writers who are.‘‖
unfortunately, these critics are virtually forgotten. neville
cardus, who wrote for the manchester guardian from 1917 until shortly before his death in 1975, is now known solely as a writer of essays on the game of cricket. during his lifetime,
though, he was also one of england‘s foremost classical-music critics, a stylist so widely admired that his autobiography (1947) became a best-seller. he was knighted in 1967, the first music critic to be so honored. yet only one of his books is now in print, and his vast body of writings on music is unknown save to specialists.
is there any chance that cardus‘s criticism will enjoy a revival? the prospect seems remote. journalistic tastes had changed long before his death, and postmodern readers have little use for the richly upholstered vicwardian prose in which he
specialized. moreover, the amateur tradition in music criticism has been in headlong retreat.
21. it is indicated in paragraphs 1 and 2 that
[a] arts criticism has disappeared from big-city newspapers. [b] english-language newspapers used to carry more arts reviews.
[c] high-quality newspapers retain a large body of readers. [d] young readers doubt the suitability of criticism on dailies. 22. newspaper reviews in england before world war ii were characterized by
[a] free themes. [b] casual style. [c] elaborate layout. [d] radical viewpoints.
23. which of the following would shaw and newman most probably agree on?
[a] it is writers duty to fulfill journalistic goals
[b] it is contemptible for writers to be journalists. [c] writers are likely to be tempted into journalism. [d] not all writers are capable of journalistic writing.
24. what can be learned about cardus according to the last two paragraphs?
[a] his music criticism may not appeal to readers today.
[b] his reputation as a music critic has long been in dispute. [c] his style caters largely to modern specialists. [d] his writings fail to follow the amateur tradition. 25. what would be the best title for the text?
[a] newspapers of the good old days[b] the lost horizon in newspapers
[c] mournful decline of journalism [d] prominent critics in memory text 2 box.
now the nations top patent court appears completely ready to scale back on business-method patents, which have been controversial ever since they were first authorized 10 years ago. in a move that has intellectual-property lawyers abuzz the u.s. court of appeals for the federal circuit said it would use a particular case to conduct a broad review of business-method patents. in re bilski, as the case is known , is a very big deal, says dennis d. crouch of the university of missouri school of law. it has the potential to eliminate an entire class of patents. curbs on business-method claims would be a dramatic about-face, because it was the federal circuit itself that introduced
such patents with is 1998 decision in the so-called state street bank case, approving a patent on a way of pooling mutual-fund assets. that ruling produced an explosion in business-method patent filings, initially by emerging internet companies trying to stake out exclusive rights to specific types of online
transactions. later, move established companies raced to add such patents to their files, if only as a defensive move against rivals that might beat them to the punch. in 2005, ibm noted in a court filing that it had been issued more than 300 business-method patents despite the fact that it questioned the legal basis for granting them. similarly, some wall street investment films armed themselves with patents for financial products, even as they took positions in court cases opposing the practice.
the bilski case involves a claimed patent on a method for
hedging risk in the energy market. the federal circuit issued an unusual order stating that the case would be heard by all 12 of the courts judges, rather than a typical panel of three, and that one issue it wants to evaluate is whether it should reconsider its state street bank ruling.
the federal circuits action comes in the wake of a series of recent decisions by the supreme court that has narrowed the scope of protections for patent holders. last april, for example the justices signaled that too many patents were being upheld for inventions that are obvious. the judges on the federal circuit are reacting to the anti-patent trend at the supreme court, says harold c. wegner, a patent attorney and professor at george washington university law school.
26. business-method patents have recently aroused concern because of
[a] their limited value to business[b] their connection with asset allocation
[c] the possible restriction on their granting [d] the controversy over authorization
27. which of the following is true of the bilski case? [a] its ruling complies with the court decisions [b] it involves a very big business transaction [c] it has been dismissed by the federal circuit [d] it may change the legal practices in the u.s.
28. the word about-face (line 1, para 3) most probably means
[a] loss of good will
[c] change of attitude [b] increase of hostility [d] enhancement of dignity
29. we learn from the last two paragraphs that business-method patents
[a] are immune to legal challenges[b] are often unnecessarily issued
[c] lower the esteem for patent holders[d] increase the incidence of risks
30. which of the following would be the subject of the text? [a] a looming threat to business-method patents [b] protection for business-method patent holders [c] a legal case regarding business-method patents
[d] a prevailing trend against business-method patents text 3
in his book the tipping point, malcolm gladwell argues that social epidemics are driven in large part by the acting of a tiny minority of special individuals, often called influentials, who are unusually informed, persuasive, or well-connected. the idea is intuitively compelling, but it doesnt explain how ideas actually spread.
the supposed importance of influentials derives from a
plausible sounding but largely untested theory called the two step flow of communication: information flows from the media to the influentials and from them to everyone else. marketers have embraced the two-step flow because it suggests that if they can just find and influence the influentials, those selected people will do most of the work for them. the theory also seems to explain the sudden and unexpected popularity of certain looks, brands, or neighborhoods. in many such cases, a cursory search for causes finds that some small group of people was wearing, promoting, or developing whatever it is before anyone else paid attention. anecdotal evidence of this kind fits nicely with the idea that only certain special people can drive trends
in their recent work, however, some researchers have come up with the finding that influentials have far less impact on social epidemics than is generally supposed. in fact, they dont seem to be required of all.
the researchers argument stems from a simple observing about social influence, with the exception of a few celebrities like oprah winfrey—whose outsize presence is primarily a
function of media, not interpersonal, influence—even the most influential members of a population simply dont interact with that many others. yet it is precisely these non-celebrity influentials who, according to the two-step-flow theory, are supposed to drive social epidemics by influencing their friends and colleagues directly. for a social epidemic to occur,
however, each person so affected, must then influence his or her own acquaintances, who must in turn influence theirs, and so on;

the longest bull run in a century of art-market history ended on a dramatic note with a sale of 56 works by damien hirst, “beautiful inside my head forever”，at sotheby?s in london on september 15th 2008. all but two pieces sold, fetching more than ￡70m, a record for a sale by a single artist. it was a last victory. as the auctioneer called out bids, in new york one of the oldest banks on wall street, lehman brothers, filed for bankruptcy.
the world art market had already been losing momentum for a while after rising bewilderingly since 2003. at its peak in 2007 it was worth some $65 billion, reckons clare mc andrew, founder of arts economics, a research firm—double the figure five
years earlier. since then it may have come down to $50 billion. but the market generates interest far beyond its size because it brings together great wealth, enormous egos, greed, passion and controversy in a way matched by few other industries. in the weeks and months that followed mr. hirst?s sale,
spending of any sort became deeply unfashionable, especially in new york, where the bail-out of the banks coincided with the
loss of thousands of jobs and the financial demise of many art-buying investors. in the art world that meant collectors stayed away from galleries and salerooms. sales of contemporary art fell by
works for sale with them.
two-thirds, and in the most overheated sector—for chinese contemporary art—they were down by nearly 90% in the year to november 2008. within weeks the world?s two biggest auction houses, sotheby?s and christie?s, had to pay out nearly $200m in guarantees to clients who had placedthe current downturn in the art market is the worst since the
japanese stopped buying impressionists at the end of 1989, a move that started the most serious contraction in the market since the second world war. this time experts reckon that prices are about 40% down on their peak on average, though some have been far more fluctuant. but edward dolman,
christie?s chief executive, says: “i?m pretty confident we?re at the bottom.”
what makes this slump different from the last, he says, is that there are still buyers in the market, whereas in the early 1990s, when interest rates were high, there was no demand even though many collectors wanted to sell. christie?s revenues in the first half of 2009 were still higher than in the first half of 2006. almost everyone who was interviewed for this special report said that the biggest problem at the moment is not a lack of demand but a lack of good work to sell. the three ds—death, debt and divorce—still deliver works of art to the market. but anyone who does not have to sell is keeping away, waiting for confidence to return.
21. in the first paragraph, damien hirsts sale was referred to as “a last victory” because ____.a. the art market had witnessed a succession of victoriesb. the auctioneer finally got the two pieces at the highest bidsc. beautiful inside my head forever won over all masterpiecesd. it was successfully made just before the world financial crisis
22.by saying “spending of any sort became deeply
unfashionable”(line 1-2,para.3)，the author suggests that_____. a. collectors were no longer actively involved in art-market auctionsb .people stopped every kind of spending and stayed
away from galleriesc. art collection as a fashion had lost its appeal to a great extent
d .works of art in general had gone out of fashion so they were not worth buying 23. which of the following statements is not true?
a .sales of contemporary art fell dramatically from 2007 to 2008.b. the art market surpassed many other industries in momentum.c. the market generally went downward in various ways.d. some art dealers were awaiting better chances to come. 24. the three ds mentioned in the last paragraph are ____
a. auction houses favorites b. contemporary trends
c. factors promoting artwork circulation d. styles representing impressionists 25. the most appropriate title for this text could be ___
a. fluctuation of art prices b. up-to-date art auctions c. art market in decline d. shifted interest in arts text2
i was addressing a small gathering in a suburban virginia living room—a womens group that had invited men to join them. throughout the evening one man had been particularly talkative, frequently offering ideas and anecdotes, while his wife sat silently beside him on the couch. toward the end of the evening i commented that women frequently complain that their husbands dont talk to them. this man quickly nodded in agreement. he gestured toward his wife and said, shes the talker in our family. the room burst into laughter; the man looked puzzled and hurt. its true, he explained. when i come home from work, i have nothing to say. if she didnt keep the conversation going, wed spend the whole evening in silence. this episode crystallizes the irony that although american men tend to talk more than women in public situations, they often talk less at home. and this pattern is with marriage.
the pattern was observed by political scientist andrew hacker in the late 1970s. sociologist catherine kohler riessman reports in her new book divorce talk that most of the women she interviewed—but only a few of the men—gave lack of
communication as the reason for their divorces. given the current divorce rate of nearly 50 percent，that amounts to
millions of cases in the united states every year —a virtual epidemic of failed conversation.
in my own research complaints from women about their
husbands most often focused not on tangible inequities such as having given up the chance for a career to accompany a husband to his or doing far more than their share of daily life-support work like cleaning, cooking, social arrangements and errands. instead they focused on communication: he doesnt listen to me. he doesnt talk to me. i found as hacker observed years before that most wives want their husbands to be first and foremost conversational partners but few husbands share this expectation of their wives.
in short the image that best represents the current crisis is the stereotypical cartoon scene of a man sitting at the breakfast table with a newspaper held up in front of his face, while a woman glares at the back of it, wanting to talk.
26. what is most wives main expectation of their husbands?
a. talking to them. b. trusting them. c. supporting their careers. d. sharing housework.
27. judging from the context, the phrase “wreaking havoc”(line 3,para.2)most probably means ___ .
a. generating motivation. b. exerting influence c. causing damage d. creating pressure 28. all of the following are true except_______a. men tend to talk more in public than women b. nearly 50 percent of recent divorces are caused by failed conversationc. women attach much importance to
communication between couples d. a female tends to be more talkative at home than her spouse 29. which of the following can best summarize the main idea of this text?
a. the moral decaying deserves more research by sociologists. b. marriage break-up stems from sex inequalities.
c. husband and wife have different expectations from their marriage. d. conversational patterns between man and wife are different.
30. in the following part immediately after this text, the author will most probably focus on ______
a. a vivid account of the new book divorce talk b. a detailed description of the stereotypical cartoon c. other possible reasons for a high divorce rate in the u.s. d. a brief introduction to the political scientist andrew hacker

over the past decade, many companies had perfected the art of creating automatic behaviors — habits — among consumers. these habits have helped companies earn billions of dollars when customers eat snacks, apply lotions and wipe counters almost without thinking, often in response to a carefully designed set of daily cues.
“there are fundamental public health problems, like dirty
hands instead of a soap habit, that remain killers only because we can?t figure out how to change people?s habits,” dr. curtis said. “we wanted to learn from private industry how to create new behaviors that happen automatically.”
the companies that dr. curtis turned to — procter gamble, colgate-palmolive and unilever — had invested hundreds of millions of dollars finding the subtle cues in consumers? lives that corporations could use to introduce new routines.
if you look hard enough, you?ll find that many of the products we use every day — chewing gums, skin moisturizers, disinfecting wipes, air fresheners, water purifiers, health snacks, antiperspirants, colognes, teeth whiteners, fabric softeners, vitamins— are results of manufactured habits. a century ago, few people regularly brushed their teeth multiple times a day. today, because of canny advertising and public health campaigns, many americans habitually give their pearly whites a cavity-preventing scrub twice a day, often with colgate, crest or one of the other brands.
a few decades ago, many people didn?t drink water outside of a meal. then beverage companies started bottling the production of far-off springs, and now office workers
unthinkingly sip bottled water all day long. chewing gum, once bought primarily by adolescent boys, is now featured in
commercials as a breath freshener and teeth cleanser for use after a meal. skin moisturizers are advertised as part of
morning beauty rituals, slipped in between hair brushing and

2011、2012、2013)】
class=txt>【作者：羽毛蛇】
【使用说明】本人亲身经历了考研的旅途，深对于英语（二），研友们最缺的就是真题，因为专硕产生不久，参考人数却呈爆发式增长；而相对英语（一），市面上不易买到英语（二）的真题资料，给考生带来不便。即使是网上的一些版本也是七拼八凑，错误连篇。本着传承爱心的理念，本人特整理2010-2013年真题及参考答案，供学弟学妹们复习。
本版本真题的一大特点是完全按照考研真题的格式、字体、字号、行间距排版，每套真题12页，建议使用时采用a4纸双面印刷，以最大限度模拟考场实际效果。（市面上的真题大多为了节约纸张，缩小了字体和行间距，和考场真题有一定差距，若长期用市面版本做练习，上了考场可能不习惯：例如完型填空，考场真题第一页是完型文章，选项一般从第二页开始，需要翻页，给考生造成不便，考生需提前习惯这种不便！而市面上的真题大多文章选项就在一页，做习惯了反而会不利于考场发挥！深有体会，切记切记） 对于真题的使用方法，有以下几点需要说明：
不要盲目做真题！那是浪费资源！英语（二）开考以来就这四套真题，希望大家节约使用！其他的模拟题、英语（一）真题、样题都没这四套值价！不信对比着做几套就知区别！
专硕真题是宝藏，它就是我们确切意义上的指南！
建议大家采用一下介绍的“六遍法”，以最大限度榨干真题价值！（每遍适当间隔一段时间效果会更好）
第一遍：严格按照考试时间，创造最贴近考试的环境来完成真题。 第二遍：摘抄生词，长句进行记忆分析，进一步熟悉文章，正面分析正确选择项，使自己的思路初步贴近出题人的思路。看答案的时候最好不要看相关的分析，因为这样可能会让自己的思路跟着出书人跑。另外，你需要对出的题目有一个分类了，例如细节题目，作者态度题目，例证题目，文章主旨题目等等，为以后的进一步总结应对策略打下基础。
第三遍：反面分析错误选择项（至关重要！） 主要应该主要从4个方面着手：
一、对比正确选项和错误选项，找出其差异所在。在知道了为什么正确答案为什么正确的基础上找出错误的原因，出题人为什么要用这个错误选项来迷惑我们——用的是偷换概念还是以小代
大？同意互换的修饰成分是否遗漏？作者观点题目答案给的是不是有出题人主观倾向以及这种倾向是不是可以作为规律来对待？等等等等。
二、把错误选择项带到原文中，看看出题人是怎么把作者意图和事实歪曲的。关于这点你可以分析完10篇来一个总结，你会很惊奇的发现：原来每道题目错误选项的来路是这么的相似！以后再见到这种错误选项的时候很大程度上你就能感觉到什么应该是正确的什么是错误的了（这就是你和出题人思路的接近过程）。
三、把握绝对和相对的关系，找出错误选项代表性的词汇。很多辅导班老师会这么告诉你：包含some，perhaps，appromately，
about，seems等词汇的选择项一般都是正确的，而包含certainly，extremely等绝对的一般都是错误的。这个可以当成一个一般的原则来应用，但是我要求你们并不是简单的把这类词汇给看到然后就直接的判断出其正确性或者错误性，我们现在是打基础，必须对自己从严要求，我们应该这样做：找出代表性词汇后进行汇总，根据肯定否定的语气轻重来把它们进行排序，然后回到题目看看出题目的人是怎么把作者不太肯定的语气给“硬化”的（老外很少说绝对，中国人经常说绝对）。
四、把自己当成出题人来思考（换位思考）。你需要把自己放到出题人的角度来对待错误选项，因为错误选项都是很熟悉中国人思维的专家出的，因此，你如果单纯的从自己（考生）的角度思考错误选择项，很可能会百思不得其解，而在把我原文的基础之上把自己看成出题人情况就会很不同。这是提高你考试能力的一个很重要的方法，到你经过一系列的训练，能从出题人的思路把握选择项的时候，你就是真正的知彼知己，从而就很容易的达到百战不殆了。
第四遍：回到文章中去，把自己上一遍的思路“代入”到文章中去，分析一下出题人是怎样把题目出出来的，具体思考以下几个问题：
一、体会出题人为什么会在这个地方出题目而不在其他地方出题目？ 二、其它地方是不是可以出题目？ 三、如果让你出题目你会怎样来出？
四、自己试着出上几道题目，比较一下和出题人的差距，进一步体会出题人出题目的把戏。
第五遍：再次像第一遍那样去做题目，总结出题技巧以及自己的应对策略。当然，答案你已经非常清楚
了， 这里只是让你再次体验一下真题的“魅力”所在。总结出题技巧并不是让你将来有可能去出题目，只是再此深化贴近出题人思维方式这个思路，争取达到自己看到一篇文章在看题目之前就大致知道体会出在什么地方（完全可以达到）。应试策略和前面几遍的分析是分不开的，前
面的工作做好了，你就是不进行应试策略的专门总结也没有问题，例如例证题目，你完全可以自己就总结出来90%向上，10%向下找答案的思路等等。
第六遍：这一遍选择应用，首先，可以适当做一点市场上的模拟试题应用下自己总结出来的方法，看一下是不是自己的思路和出书人的差不多，不一样完全没有关系，因为到现在你的试题研究的水平可能比出书人还要高，你的思路更加贴近将来的06年真题！其次，适当的选用自己认为比较好的模拟试题，你可以在做完题目之后用挑剔的木管来“修正”它们，进一步使自己的应试技巧和策略得到深化。
最后给大家一点个人的建议：英语没必要报辅导班，尤其是专硕英语，靠自己才是王道！虽然辅导班天花乱坠的宣传台词催生了如火如荼的考研经济，但就我个人的经历来说，不要太指望辅导班。认真研究着几套真题，再归纳联系一下各类型的作文，考研英语没问题的！预祝大家取得好成绩，并在考研路上有所收获！ 2010年全国硕士研究生入学统一考试(英语二)试题 section i use of english directions:
