1、四川大学2023考博英语真题及答案详解 阅读 1)Sign has become a scientific hot button. Only in the past 20 years have specialists in language study realized that signed languages are uniquea speech of the hand. They offer a new way to probe how the brain generates and understands language, and throw new light on an old

2、scientific controversy: whether language, complete with grammar, is something that we are born With, or whether it is a learned behavior. The current interest in sign language has roots in the pioneering work of one rebel teacher at Gallaudet University in Washington, D. C., the worlds only liberal

3、arts university for deaf people.When Bill Stokoe went to Gallaudet to teach English, the school enrolled him in a course in signing. But Stokoe noticed something odd: among themselves, students signed differently from his classroom teacher.Stokoe had been taught a sort of gestural code, each movemen

4、t of the hands representing a word in English. At the time, American Sign Language (ASL) was thought to be no more than a form of pidgin English (混杂英语). But Stokoe believed the “hand talk” his students used looked richer. He wondered: Might deaf people actually: have a genuine language? And could th

5、at language be unlike any other on Earth? It was 1955, when even deaf people dismissed their signing as “substandard”. Stokoes idea was academic heresy (异端邪说).It is 37 years later. Stokoenow devoting his time to writing and editing books and journals and to producing video materials on ASL and the d

6、eaf cultureis having lunch at a cafe near the Gallaudet campus and explaining how he started a revolution. For decades educators fought his idea that signed languages are natural languages like English, French and Japanese. They assumed language must be based on speech, the modulation (调整) of sound.

7、 But sign language is based on the movement of hands, the modulation of space. “What I said,” Stokoe explains, “is that language is not mouth stuffits brain stuff.”21. The study of sign language is thought to be _C_.A) a new way to look at the learning of languageB) a challenge to traditional, views

8、 on the nature of languageC) an approach: to simplifying the grammatical structure of a languageD) an attempt to clarify misunderstanding about the origin of language(C)22. The, present growing interest in sign language was stimulated by _C_.A) a famous scholar in the study of the human brainB) a le

9、ading specialist in the study of liberal artsC) an English teacher in a university for the deafD) some senior experts in American Sign Language(C)23. According to Stokoe, sign language is _B_.A) a Substandard languageB) a genuine languageC) an artificial languageD) an international language(B)24. Mo

10、st educators objected to Stokoes idea because they thought _D_.A) sign language was not extensively used even by deaf peopleB) sign language was too artificial to be widely acceptedC) a language should be easy to use and understandD) a language could only exist in the form of speech sounds(D)25. Sto

11、koes argument is based on his belief that _D_.A) sign language is as efficient as any other languageB) sign language is derived from natural languageC) language is a system of meaningful codesD) language is a product of the brain(D)2)It was the worst tragedy in maritime history, six times more deadl

12、y than the Titanic. When the German cruise ship Wilhelm Gustloff was hit by torpedoes fired from a Russian submarine in the final winter of World War II, more than 10,000 people-mostly women, children and old people fleeing the final Red Army push into Nazi Germany-were packed aboard. An ice storm h

13、ad turned the decks into frozen sheets that sent hundreds of families sliding into the sea as the ship tilted and began to go down. Others desperately tried to put lifeboats down. Some who succeeded fought off those in the water who had the strength to try to claw their way aboard. Most people froze

14、 immediately. Ill never forget the screams,” says Christa Ntitzmann, 87, one of the 1,200 survivors. She recalls watching the ship, brightly lit, slipping into its dark grave-and into seeming nothingness, rarely mentioned for more than half a century.Now Germanys Nobel Prize-winning author Gtinter G

15、rass has revived the memory of the 9,000 dead, including more than 4,000 children-with his latest novel Crab Walk, published last month. The book, which will be out in English next year, doesnt dwell on the sinking; its heroine is a pregnant young woman who survives the catastrophe only to say later

16、: “Nobody wanted to hear about it, not here in the West (of Germany) and not at all in the East.” The reason was obvious. As Grass put it in a recent interview with the weekly Die Woche: “Because the crimes we Germans are responsible for were and are so dominant, we didnt have the energy left to tel

17、l of our own sufferings.”The long silence about the sinking of the Wilhelm Gustloff was probably unavoidable-and necessary. By unreservedly owning up to their countrys monstrous crimes in the Second World War, Germans have managed to win acceptance abroad, marginalize the neo-Nazis at home and make

18、peace with their neighbors. Todays unified Germany is more prosperous and stable than at any time in its long, troubled history. For that, a half century of willful forgetting about painful memories like the German Titanic was perhaps a reasonable price to pay. But even the most politically correct

19、Germans believe that they ye now earned the right to discuss the full historical record. Not to equate German suffering with that of its victims, but simply to acknowledge a terrible tragedy.31. Why does the author say the sinking of the Wilhelm Gustloff was the worst tragedy in maritime history? (B

20、)A) It was attacked by Russian torpedoes.B) It caused the largest number of casualties.C) Most of its passengers were frozen to death.D) Its victims were mostly women and children.32. Hundreds of families dropped into the sea when _(A)_.A) the badly damaged ship leaned toward one sideB) a strong ice

21、 storm tilted the shipC) the cruise ship sank all of a suddenD) the frightened passengers fought desperately for lifeboats33. The Wilhelm Gustloff tragedy was little talked about for more than half a century because Germans _(D)_.A) were eager to win international acceptanceB) had been pressured to

22、keep silent about itC) were afraid of offending their neighborsD) felt guilty for their crimes in World War II34. How does Gunter Grass revive the memory of the Wilhelm Gustloff tragedy? (D)A) By describing the ships sinking in great detail.B) By giving an interview to the weekly Die Woche.C) By pre

23、senting the horrible scene of the torpedo attack.D) By depicting the survival of a young pregnant woman.35. It can be learned from the passage that Germans no longer think that _(C)_.A) the Wilhelm Gustloff tragedy is a reasonable price to pay for the nations past misdeedsB) Germany is responsible f

24、or the horrible crimes it committed in World War IIC) they will be misunderstood if they talk about the Wilhelm Gustloff tragedyD) it-is wrong to equate their sufferings with those of other countries)There are people in Italy who cant stand soccer. Not all Canadians love hockey. A similar situation

25、exists in America, where there are those individuals you may be one of them who yawn or even frown when somebody mentions baseball. Baseball to them means boring hours watching grown men in funny tight outfits standing around in a field staring away while very little of anything happens. They tell y

26、ou its a game better suited to the 19th century, slow, quiet, gentlemanly. These are the same people you may be one of them who love football because theres the sport that glorifies “the hit”. By contrast, baseball seems abstract, cool, silent, still. On TV the game is fractured into a dozen perspec

27、tives, replays, closeups. The geometry of the game, however, is essential to understanding it. You will contemplate the game from one point as a painter does his subject; you may, of course, project yourself into the game. It is in this projection that the game affords so much space and time for inv

28、olvement. The TV wont do it for you. Take, for example, the third baseman. You sit behind the third base dugout and you watch him watching home plate. His legs are apart, knees flexed. His arms hang loose. He does a lot of this. The skeptic still cannot think of any other sports so still, so passive

29、. But watch what happens every time the pitcher throws: the third baseman goes up on his toes, flexes his arms or bring the glove to a point in front of him, takes a step right or left, backward or forward, perhaps he glances across the field to check his first basemans position. Suppose the pitch i

30、s a ball. “Nothing happened,” you say. “I could have had my eyes closed.” The skeptic and the innocent must play the game. And this involvement in the stands is no more intellectual than listening to music is. Watch the third baseman. Smooth the dirt in front of you with one foot; smooth the pocket

31、in your glove; watch the eyes of the batter, the speed of the bat, the sound of horsehide on wood. If football is a symphony of movement and theatre, baseball is chamber music, a spacious interlocking of notes, chores and responses. 1. The passage is mainly concerned with . A. the different tastes o

32、f people for sports B. the different characteristics of sports C. the attraction of football D. the attraction of baseball 2. Those who dont like baseball may complain that . A. it is only to the taste of the old B. it involves fewer players than football C. it is not exciting enough D. it is preten

33、tious and looks funny 3. The author admits that . A. baseball is too peaceful for the young B. baseball may seem boring when watched on TV C. football is more attracting than baseball D. baseball is more interesting than football 4. By stating “I could have had my eyes closed. ” the author means (4t

34、h paragraph last sentence): A. The third baseman would rather sleep than play the game. B. Even if the third baseman closed his eyes a moment ago, it could make no different to the result. C. The third baseman is so good at baseball that he could finish the game with eyes closed all the time and do

35、his work well. D. The consequent was too bad he could not bear to see it. 5. We can safely conclude that the author . A. likes footballB. hates football C. hates baseballD. likes baseball Vocabulary 1. dugout n.棒球场边供球员休息旳地方 2. pitcher n.投手 3. symphony n.交响乐 4. chamber n.室内 5. contemplate vt.沉思,注视 长难

36、句解析 【解析】此句旳主干是“Baseballmeanswatching”,其中“in funny tight outfits”用来修饰“grown men”,“standing”和“staring”用来做“grown men”旳定语。 【译文】对于他们来说,棒球就是在无聊旳几种小时中几种身着紧身衣旳大人伫立在场地周围没事可做地东张西望。 【解析】这是一种复合句,“goes up”,“flexes”“takes”,“glances”做“the third baseman”旳并列谓语。 【译文】但每当投球手掷出球旳那一瞬间,你再看吧,三垒运动员脚尖点地,屈臂或把接球手套直指前方,左右移动步伐,或

37、前或后,或许他还要越过场地盯着一垒球手旳动作。 答案与详解 【短文大意】本文重要讲述垒球旳特性及欣赏。 1. D主旨题。文章第一段简述了人们对垒球所持旳偏见认为它毫无活力、从容和缓,不像橄榄球那样高潮迭起、令人激动。文章旳第二、三、四、五段探讨了垒球旳主线特性及欣赏角度,文章旳最终一句话用一种比方概括了垒球旳魅力:“假如橄榄球是一曲交响乐旳话,那么,垒球中所体现出来旳运动恰似一曲优美旳室内乐。”可见,本文重要探讨旳是垒球旳特点及其欣赏。 A不对,第一段也确实提到了不一样观众对不一样运动形式旳偏好,但这只是用以引出对垒球旳特性及欣赏旳讨论。 2. C细节题。文章第一段指出:许多人不喜欢垒球,一提

38、起垒球这些人就打哈欠甚至皱眉头。对他们来说,看垒球意味着眼巴巴地观望着身着运动装(outfit)旳人呆立在球场上,东瞧瞧西望望,很少有什么(激感人心旳)事发生没意思透了。他们认为这样旳运动更适合上个世纪旳人旳口味,不像橄榄球那样充斥活力。 A意为:“它只适合老年人旳口味。”注意:原文说旳是适合上个世纪旳人旳口味,两者意味不一样样。 D意为:“它矫揉造作、滑稽可笑。”这与说它gentlemanly(具有绅士风度,矜持,即:没有冲撞或拼抢)不一样样。 3. B推断题。第三段指出,在电视上,垒球运动被切换成不一样角度旳画面,并且不停地使用重放、特写等电视制作技术,这破坏了该运动旳整体运动感,使观众无

39、法将自己投入(project)到运动中去,以体会到这种寓动于静旳运动之美。电视做不到这一点(The TV wont do it for you),因此,电视上旳垒球比赛看上去(seems)孤孤单单、冷冷清清、沉沉静静、慢慢腾腾。C、D不对,作者仅指出了不一样运动有不一样运动旳特性,并未说哪种运动优于哪种。参阅文章最终一句。 4. B推断题。第四段整个都在描述垒球场上旳一种场景:拿三垒旳运动员假设对方全投出好球,作好了一切准备,不过对方投出旳并不是好球。因此在那时候他旳准备做不做都不会影响比赛成果。他说本来可以闭上眼睛,意思就是B项所写旳。A、C、D都不符合作者旳意图。这道题需要完整地理解第四段

40、内容才能作好选择。 5. D推断题。在本文中,作者重要探讨了垒球旳特性及欣赏,作者着重指出旳是:只有根据垒球旳特性来欣赏它,才能体会到它旳魅力。在他看来,观测到垒球比赛中运动员旳多种动作、垒球位之间旳关系等是欣赏它旳关键(第三段第二句)。只有从整体来把握它,才能看到每一种小旳动作、每一种眼神乃至于“静止”旳意义,也只有这样,才能全身心地投入比赛中,欣赏到它旳魅力。可见,作者对垒球有很深旳理解并且非常爱慕垒球。重要参照第三、四、五段。Among the more colorful characters of Leadvilles golden age were H.A.W.Tabor and h

41、is second wife,Elizabeth McCourt,better known as “Baby Doe”.Their history is fast becoming one of the legends of the Old West.Horace Austin Warner Tabor was a school teacher in Vermont.With his first wife and two children he left Vermont by covered wagon in 1855 to homestead in Kansas.Perhaps he did

42、 not find farming to his liking,or perhaps he was lured by rumors of fortunes to be made in Colorado mines.At any rate,a few years later he moved west to the small Colorado mining camp known as California Gulch,which he later renamed Leadville when he became its leading citizen. “Great deposits of l

43、ead are sure to be found here.”he said. As it turned out,it was silver,not lead,that was to make Leadvilles fortune and wealth. Tabor knew little about mining himself,so he opened a general store,which sold everything from boots to salt,flour,and tobacco.It was his custom to “grubstake” prospective

44、miners,in other words,to supply them with food and supplies,or “grub”, while they looked for ore,in return for which he would get a share in the mine if one was discovered.He did this for a number of years,but no one that he aided ever found anything of value. Finally one day in the year 1878,so the

45、 story goes,two miners came in and asked for “grub”. Tabor had decided to quit supplying it because he had lost too much money that way.These were persistent, however,and Tabor was too busy to argue with them. “Oh help yourself.One more time wont make any difference,” He said and went on selling sho

46、es and hats to other customers.the two miners took $17 worth of supplies,in return for which they gave Tabor a one-third interest in their findings.They picked a barren place on the mountainside and began to dig.After nine days they struck a rich vein of silver.Tabor bought the shares of the other t

47、wo men,and so the mine belonged to him alone.This mine,known as the “Pittsburgh Mine,” made 1 300 000 for Tabor in return for his $17 investment. Later Tabor bought the Matchless Mine on another barren hillside just outside the town for $117 000.This turned out to be even more fabulous than the Pitt

48、sburgh,yielding $35 000 worth of silver per day at one time.Leadville grew.Tabor became its first mayor,and later became lieutenant governor of the state. 1.Leadville got its name for the following reasons EXCEPT. A.because Tabor became its leading citizen B.because great deposits of lead is expected to be found there C.because it could bring good fortune to Tabor D.because it was renamed 2.The word “grubstake” in p
