(10 points) 0 【F1】Despite the general negative findings, it is important to remember that all children who live through a divorce do not behave in the same way. The spec

2、ific behavior depends on the childs individual personality, characteristics, age at the time of divorce, and gender.【F2 】In terms of personality, when compared to those rated as relaxed and easygoing, children described as temperamental and irritable have more difficulty coping with parental divorce

3、, as indeed they have more difficulty adapting to life change in general. Stress, such as that found in disrupted families, seems to impair the ability of temperamental children to adapt to their surroundings, the greater the amount of stress, the less well they adapt. In contrast, a moderate amount

4、 of stress may actually help an easygoing, relaxed child learn to cope with adversity.There is some relationship between age and childrens characteristic reaction to divorce.【F3】As the child grows older, the greater is the likelihood of a free expression of a variety of complex feelings, an understa

5、nding of those feelings, and a realization that the decision to divorce cannot be attributed to any one simple cause. Self-blame virtually disappears after the age of 6, fear of abandonment diminishes after the age of 8, and the confusion and fear of the young child is replaced in the older child by

6、 shame, anger, and self-reflection.Gender of the child is also a factor that predicts the nature of reaction to divorce. The impact of divorce is initially greater on boys than on girls. They are more aggressive, less compliant, have greater difficulties in interpersonal relationships, and exhibit p

7、roblem behaviors both at home and at school. Furthermore, the adjustment problems of boys are still noticeable even two years after the divorce. Girls adjustment problems are usually internalized rather than acted out, and are often resolved by the second year after the divorce. However, new problem

8、s may surface for girls as they enter adolescence and adulthood. How can the relatively greater impact of divorce on boys than on girls be explained?【F4】The greater male aggression and noncompliance may reflect the fact that such behaviors are tolerated and even encouraged in males in our culture mo

9、re than they are in females. Furthermore, boys may have a particular need for a strong male model of self-control, as well as for a strong disciplinarian parent.【F5】Finally, boys are more likely to be exposed to their parents fights than girls are, and after the breakup, boys are less likely than gi

10、rls to receive sympathy and support from mothers, teachers, or peers.1 【F1】2 【F2】3 【F3】4 【F4】5 【F5】5 The provision of positive incentives to work in the new society will not be an easy task.【F1】But the most difficult task of all is to devise the ultimate and final sanction to replace the ultimate sa

11、nction of hungerthe economic whip of the old dispensation. Moreover, in a society which rightly rejects the pretence of separating economics from politics and denies the autonomy of the economic order, that sanction can be found only in some conscious act of society. We can no longer ask the invisib

12、le hand to do our dirty work for us.I confess that I am less horror-struck than some people at the prospect, which seems to me unavoidable, of an ultimate power of what is called direction of labour resting in some arm of society, whether in an organ of state or of trade unions. I should indeed be h

13、orrified if I identified this prospect with a return to the conditions of the pre-capitalist era. The economic whip of laissez-faire undoubtedly represented an advance on the serf-like conditions of that period: in that relative sense, the claim of capitalism to have established for the first time a

14、 system of “free“ labour deserves respect.【F2】But the direction of labour as exercised in Great Britain in the Second World War seems to me to represent as great an advance over the economic whip of the heyday of capitalist private enterprise as the economic whip represented over pre-capitalist serf

15、dom.Much depends on the effectiveness of the positive incentives, much, too, on the solidarity and self-discipline of the community. After all, under the system of laissez-faire capitalism the fear of hunger remained an ultimate sanction rather than a continuously operative force.【F3 】It would have

16、been intolerable if the worker had been normally driven to work by conscious fear of hunger; nor, except in the early and worst days of the Industrial Revolution, did that normally happen.【F4】Similarly in the society of the future the power of direction should be regarded not so much as an instrumen

17、t of daily use but rather as an ultimate sanction held in reserve where voluntary methods fail. It is inconceivable that, in any period or in any conditions that can now be foreseen, any organ of state in Great Britain would be in a position, even if it had the will, to marshal and deploy the labour

18、 force over the whole economy by military discipline like an army in the field.【F5 】This, like other nightmares of a totally planned economy, can be left to those who like to frighten themselves and others with scarecrows.6 【F1】7 【F2】8 【F3】9 【F4】10 【F5】10 Over the last decade, demand for the most co

19、mmon cosmetic surgery procedures, like breast enlargements and nose jobs, has increased by more than 400 percent. According to Dr. Dai Davies, of the Plastic Surgery Partnership in Hammersmith, the majority of cosmetic surgery patients are not chasing physical perfection. Rather, they are driven to

20、fantastic lengths to improve their appearance by a desire to look normal.“【F1】What we all crave is to look normal, and normal is what is prescribed by the advertising media and other external pressures. They give us a perception of what is physically acceptable and we feel we must look like that.“【F

21、2】In America, the debate is no longer about whether surgery is normal; rather, it centres on what age people should be before going under the knife. New York surgeon Dr. Gerard Imber recommends “maintenance“ work for people in their thirties. “The idea of waiting until one needs a heroic transformat

22、ion is silly,“ he says, “By then, youve wasted 20 great years of your life and allowed things to get out of hand.“ Dr. Imber draws the line at operating on people who are under 18, however. “It seems that someone we dont consider old enough to order a drink shouldnt be considering plastic surgery.“I

23、n the UK cosmetic surgery has long been seen as the exclusive domain of the very rich and famous.【F3 】But the proportionate cost of treatment has fallen substantially, bringing all but the most advanced laser technology within the reach of most people. Dr. Davies, who claims to “cater for the averag

24、e person“, agrees. He says:“I treat a few of the rich and famous and an awful lot of secretaries. Of course, 3, 000 for an operation is a lot of money. But it is also an investment for life which costs about half the price of a good family holiday.“【F4】Dr. Davies suspects that the increasing sophist

25、ication of the fat injecting and removal techniques that allow patients to be treated with a local anaesthetic in an afternoon has also helped promote the popularity of cosmetic surgery.【 F5】Yet, as one woman who recently paid 2, 500 for liposuction to remove fat from her thighs admitted, the slope

26、to becoming a cosmetic surgery Veteran is a deceptively gentle one. “I had my legs done because theyd been bugging me for years. But going into the clinic was so low key and effective it whetted my appetite. Now I dont think theres any operation that I would rule out having if I could afford it.“11

27、【F1】12 【F2】13 【F3】14 【F4】15 【F5】15 The most thoroughly studied intellectuals in the history of the New World are the ministers and political leaders of seventeenth-century New England. According to the standard history of American philosophy, nowhere else in colonial America was “So much importance

28、attached to intellectual pursuits.“【F1】According to many books and articles, New Englands leaders established the basic themes and preoccupations of an unfolding, dominant Puritan tradition in American intellectual life.【F2】To take this approach to the New Englanders normally means to start with the

29、 Puritans theological innovations and their distinctive ideas about the churchimportant subjects that we may not neglect. But in keeping with our examination of southern intellectual life, we may consider the original Puritans as carriers of European culture, adjusting to New world circumstances. Th

30、e New England colonies were the scenes of important episodes in the pursuit of widely understood ideals of civility and virtuosity.The early settlers of Massachusetts Bay included men of impressive education and influence in England. Besides the ninety or so learned ministers who came to Massachuset

31、ts churches in the decade after 1629, there were political leaders like John Winthrop, an educated gentleman, lawyer, and official of the Crown before he journeyed to Boston.【F3】These men wrote and published extensively, reaching both New World and Old World audiences, and giving New England an atmo

32、sphere of intellectual earnestness. We should not forget , however, that most New Englanders were less well educated.【F4 】While few craftsmen or farmers, let alone dependents and servants, left literary compositions to be analyzed, it is obvious that their views were less fully intellectualized. The

33、ir thinking often had a traditional superstitious quality. A tailor named John Dane, who emigrated in the late 1630s, left an account of his reasons for leaving England that is filled with signs. Sexual confusion, economic frustrations, and religious hopeall came together in a decisive moment when h

34、e opened the Bible, told his father the first line he saw would settle his fate, and read the magical words: “come out from among them, touch no unclean thing, and I will be your God and you shall be my people.“ One wonders what Dane thought of the careful sermons explaining the Bible that he heard

35、in puritan churches.【F5】Meanwhile, many settles had slighter religious commitments than Danes, as one clergyman learned in confronting folk along the coast who mocked that they had not come to the New world for religion. “Our main end was to catch fish.“16 【F1】17 【F2】18 【F3】19 【F4】20 【F5】考研英语（翻译）模拟试

38、译7 【正确答案】 但是，英国在二战中实行的对劳动力的管理对于我来说，如同代表前资本主义农奴制的经济激励手段一样，似乎也代表了资本主义私人企业全盛时期经济激励手段的巨大进步。 【知识模块】 翻译8 【正确答案】 如果工人有意识地被饥饿的恐惧感驱赶着去工作，那是不可容忍的，而且除了在工业革命早期最糟糕的阶段，这种事情也通常不会发生。 【知识模块】 翻译9 【正确答案】 同样，在未来的社会中，管理的权力不应当被视为一项日常使用的工具而应当被看作备用的一种最严厉的制裁，只有在自愿的方法不管用的时候才使用。 【知识模块】 翻译10 【正确答案】 这种像计划经济一样的恶梦，可以留给那些喜欢用稻草人吓自己
