真题机经-阅读单选机经

1Statement/声明

回忆要点：考到两次了，阅读单选题，内容是一个类似于法院的声明，虽然很短，但是文绉绉的一下子不是特别能看懂，大概就是讲一个新法规颁布了，然后如果有异议的话可以去上诉之类的，然后选项的话，第一个选项是你即可以上诉这个法律，又可以去质疑它ethical；第二个选项是什么忘记了，第三个选项说的是你不可以上诉这个法律法规，但是你可以质疑他的ethical，第四个选项就是把第二个选项开头加个NOT，然后我选了第三个。

9Class-dominant theory/阶级优势理论

The class-dominant theory argues that the media reflects and projects the view of a minority elite, which controls it. Those people who own and control the corporations that produce media comprise this elite. Advocates of this view concern themselves particularly with massive corporate mergers of media organizations, which limit competition and put big business at the reins of media – especially news media. Their concern is that when ownership is restricted, a few people then have the ability to manipulate what people can see or hear. For example, owners can easily avoid or silence stories that expose unethical corporate behaviour or hold corporations responsible for their actions.

They had political power, and taxed peasants who were using these lands. They even purchased position of bishops and priests. On the other hand, peasants have lower social status, who were busy with producing and trading goods, and had little rights and no political power. 问 How could people tax peasants in the Middle Ages? 我选了 To purchase a clergy’s title 干扰 To executive an aristocrat 干扰 To produce goods

19Women and children/妇女和儿童

That was partly because infant mortality was high. People had many children and accepted that not all of them would survive.

In the early 19th century a group of Evangelical Christians called the Clapham Sect were active in politics. They campaigned for an end to slavery and cruel sports. They gained their name because so many of them lived in Clapham. Organized religion was much more important in the 19th century than it is today. Nevertheless in 1851 a survey showed that only about 40% of the population were at church or chapel on a given Sunday. Even allowing for those who were ill or could not make it for some other reason it meant that half the population did not go to church.

Certainly many of the poor had little or no contact with the church. In 1881 a similar survey showed only about 13 of the population of England at church on a given Sunday. In the late 19th century organized religion was in decline in Britain.

During the 1800s the factory system gradually replaced the system of people working in their own homes or in small workshops. In England the textile industry was the first to be transformed. It employed many children. Unfortunately when children worked in textile factories they often worked for more than 12 hours a day. In the early 19th century parliament passed laws to restrict child labor. However they all proved to be unenforceable. The first effective law was passed in 1833. It was effective because for the first time factory inspectors were appointed to make sure the law was being obeyed. The new law banned children under 9 from working in textile factories. It said that children aged 9 to 13 must not work for more than 12 hours a day or 48 hours a week. Children aged 13 to 18 must not work for more than 69 hours a week. Furthermore nobody under 18 was allowed to work at night (from 8.30 pm to 5.30 am). Children aged 9 to 13 were to be given 2 hours education a day.

回忆要点：借楼回忆【19世纪 工业革命 关于妇女和child 工作】原文在 http://www.localhistories.org/19thcent.html 只不过 是分开取段落search: 从 that was partly because infant mortality was high开始 到讲child 工作几个小时

21Graffiti/涂鸦

回忆要点：

回忆1.考到一个postgraduate 做的一个关于graffiti 的study，我选的是acclaim xxx那个，我估计我选错了，应该选consequence 那个选项，欢迎大神补充 Ms Rowles is studying graffiti tags to find a way of identifying the perpetrators and eventually building a statewide database of offenders and their tags. She says a common defence among taggers is to admit to one offence but deny multiple tags, claiming them to be forgeries. Her aim is to be able to disprove that tags can be forged, so that offenders can be prosecuted for multiple tags.

回忆2.前面说她是一个postgraduate 外做一个study，当时做这个题的时候是最后一题，但是生词太多选错了。当时在两个选项里纠结 1.acclaim artists 2.crime consequences 剩下两个选项直接排出了，这个题应该选2

22Protein/蛋白质 #4382 2018-07

23Thieves/小偷

回忆要点：刚考完这题很简单保对： 说防信用卡被偷了后盗刷，现在很多website require the billing address same with the mailing address, 所以你的信用卡即使被盗刷，小偷买的物品也只能寄去你家，这样小偷获得物品的概率非常小。问这主要是一个什么策略防盗刷，答案就选小偷拿到购买商品的利率很小。

24Decision/决策

回忆要点：考到一个讲到现在企业里有些人认为不作决策就会避免风险，后来举例子说英国怎么样，问题是选这篇文章的主旨是什么？纠结了好久，我最后选了做决定怎么也比不做好，有两个选项肯定是不对的，还有另外一个很有迷惑性，所以不确定答案，有大神考到的

26World Wide Web/万维网

28John Robertson/约翰罗伯逊

When he was awarded an Honorary Degree by the University of Newcastle, even John Robertson himself must surely have looked back in wonder at his astonishing rise to success. The year was 1910, and those assembled were to hear not only of his generosity to the University, which enabled it to contribute to the pioneering research into tropical diseases being carried out at that time, but also of his humanitarian work in southern Africa, where he was ahead of his time in improving the working conditions of local mine workers. To those who knew John in his youth, it will have come as no surprise to hear of his success. He was now enjoying the rewards of the fierce determination, desire to succeed and extraordinary ability to acquire knowledge, which they had noticed in the young man. He was born in Africa. His abilities were evident at a young age. He studied medicine. He completed his degree in 1910.

29Jupiter/木星

Jupiter has 2-1/2 times more mass as compared to all other planets put together. Besides, its diameter is 11 times more than Earth's diameter. Because of its size, the scientists were also forced into believing that it became a star.

Gasses and dust contracted to build the planet and immense pressure was created by the gravitational forces along with tens of thousands of degrees of temperature. However, unlike the Sun, the unavailability of sufficient mass required to create the temperature which can initiate fusion reaction, Jupiter relatively got cooler over a period of time.

Many argue that art cannot be defined. We could go about this in several ways. Art is often considered as the process or product of deliberately arranging elements in a way that appeals to the senses or emotions. It encompasses a diverse range of human activities, creations and ways of expression, including music, literature, film, sculpture and paintings. The meaning of art is explored in a branch of philosophy known as aesthetics. At least, that is what Wikipedia claims. Art is a difficult and complex form to explain. Wikipedia defines art under aesthetics, which is a branch of philosophy. Music, literature, film and sculpture do not define art. Art is directed in a way that it deliberately appeals to the emotions of people.

41Artist/艺术家

Being one of his best works and he never again allowed his art to be influenced by contemporary politics. On the contrary, he had the utmost contempt for the age in which he lived, for its crass materialism and complacent belief in progress; and his art is almost entirely an attempt to escape from it. He escaped into the subjects of romantic poetry, in particular, that of Shakespeare, Byron, and Walter Scott. Some of his greatest pictures were inspired by Byron, and he had a Byronic power of self-identification with the forces of the sublime - in particular ‘the roaring of lions and the destructive sword’. Baudelaire said that when an idea shot through his mind his muscles quivered with impatience and his eyes shone like a tiger stalking its prey. At feeding time in the Paris Zoo, he was overwhelmed with happiness.

If humans were truly at home under the light of the moon and stars, we would go in darkness happily, the midnight world as visible to us as it is to the vast number of nocturnal species on this planet. Instead, we are diurnal creatures, with eyes adapted to living in the sun's light. This is a basic evolutionary fact, even though most of us don't think of ourselves as diurnal beings any more than we think of ourselves as primates or mammals or Earthlings.

69Artists/艺术家

The artists were not a rich man's frivolous addition to his entourage but an essential part of a scientific team in the age before photography. Their principal task was to draw the specimens that the scientists collected. Although the naturalists, such as Banks, intended to preserve some of their specimens and take them home to England, it would not be practical to do so with all of them. Banks also expected to dissect certain animals, and the artists would preserve a record of this work. In addition to their scientific drawings, Banks wanted the artists to sketch the people and places they visited.

Dissecting specimens was not as useful as taking them to England.

Naturalists themselves were often talented artists.

Photography eventually made scientific expeditions more productive.

Artists performed a variety of tasks in early scientific explorations.

81Written sources/写作材料

Social scientists use particular methods to gather qualitative evidence, from observation to interview, but they also use autobiographical accounts, journalism, and other documentary material to flesh out and add meaning to statistics. As with reading numbers, reading textual evidence requires us to practice, to set time aside to learn how to do it, and to understand the conventions of writing which operate in the different forms of writing we encounter. One of the main problems with reading textual evidence, though, is that, unlike the relationship most of us have with

numbers where we may use them at a pretty basic level, most of us are, if anything, over-familiar with words. When we want to understand their value as social science evidence we need to forget how familiar we are with first person accounts and everyday speech - for example, in newspapers, magazines, and books - and learn a different approach to them.

Social scientists use observation, interviews and even print journalism as evidence for the claims they make. They may collect evidence through questionnaires with pre-set questions and by open-ended interviews which allow respondents to speak for themselves. They may observe social relations explicitly as social scientists or may participate themselves in a particular community to gain 'inside' information.

Social scientists also draw on print journalism on occasion and may use the same sources, for example official statistics, and the work of other social scientists to support their claims. We need to remember, though, that journalists do not need to present the same rigorous referencing and support for their claims as social scientists are required to do. Most importantly, newspaper and magazine articles are written under commercial pressures; for example they must help to sell the newspaper by being deliberately provocative, or by reflecting the dominant views

of its readers.

formulate questionnaires and interview questions.

advise them on how to collect qualitative evidence.

add information to other data they have collected.

change their understanding of numbers.
