1、考研英语(阅读)模拟试卷 493 及答案解析(总分:60.00,做题时间:90 分钟)一、Reading Comprehensio(总题数:6,分数:60.00)1.Section II Reading Comprehension(分数:10.00)_2.Part ADirections: Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D.(分数:10.00)_The Affordable Care Act, better known as Obamacare
2、, was supposed to transform American health insurance. Critics have long feared that it would do much more. Republicans have cast Obamacare as a job-killing, economy-crushing villain. On February 4th they appeared to get more ammunition from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). The CBO, as part of
3、 its projection of economic growth over the next decade, estimates that Obamacare will lower full-time employment by 2.3m in 2021, compared with what might have been without reform, and by 2.5m in 2025. The main reason is not that firms are already slashing jobs to avoid the burden the law imposes,
4、as Republicans have complained, but that Americans will choose to work less. The insight that Obamacare would lower the supply of labour is not new, but the magnitude of the CBOs estimate isthe 2.3m drop in 2021 is nearly three times larger than the CBOs earlier projection. Many factors account for
5、the decline. Chief among them is the effect of subsidies for health insurance. To help Americans buy coverage on new health “exchanges“, Obamacare offers tax credits to those earning between 100% and 400% of the federal poverty line (about $11,500 to $46,000 for a single adult). Those tax credits ar
6、e offered on a sliding scale, by income, so workers in effect pay a higher tax rate as their wages rise. This may dissuade them from trying to earn more. The White House, mining the report for good news, argued that Obamacare liberates American workers. “At the beginning of this year, we noted that
7、as part of this new day in health care, Americans would no longer be trapped in a job just to provide coverage for their families, and would have the opportunity to pursue their dreams,“ the White House press secretary said in a statement. “This CBO report bears that out.“ The supply-side effects ar
8、e not all bad. Some Americans, no longer tied to their employer-provided insurance, may feel freer to take better jobs or start their own businesses. But this effect is unlikely to offset the ranks of people who choose to work less, or not at all. And although leisure is often agreeable, does Americ

11、ore free time they haveD.they can enjoy high salary even if they work less(4).Which one is NOT benefit brought by Obamacare?(分数:2.00)A.American workers may have more free time.B.A large number of Americans do not have to go to work.C.People in America have more chances to chase their dreams.D.Americ
12、ans will not be pitted in a job to cover family expenses.(5).The authors attitude towards the effects of health insurance is _.(分数:2.00)A.agreeableB.affirmativeC.doubtfulD.biasedOver the past two decades Americas broken immigration system has confounded one Congress after another, because it never s
13、eemed possible to create a law that satisfied the right balance of interests. But some Republicans changed their minds after the 2012 presidential election, when Mitt Romney took just 27% of the Latino vote. It did not take a brilliant strategist to understand the threat; Latinos were growing in num
14、ber, were increasingly likely to vote, and were turning away from Republicans in droves. Last June, 14 Republicans in the Senate joined the majority Democrats to pass a comprehensive immigration-reform bill. The effort stalled when the Republican-led House of Representatives said it would not take u
15、p the measure. But last week it roared back to life when John Boehner, the House Speaker, issued a brief memo to his caucus outlining principles for reform. Although short on specifics, in most respects Mr. Boehners note echoes the Senate bill. It calls for a secure border, biometrics to track comer
16、s and goers, and a digitized system for employers to check the immigration status of workers. It urges the allocation of visas to suit the demands of American firms. It says that most of the 1.5m “Dreamers“ (illegal immigrants brought to America as children) should be allowed to become citizens. How
17、 the ground has shifted: only three years ago Senate Republicans put a Dream Act to death. These provisions are not universally lovedmany think America already spends too much money keeping people outbut they can command support from both parties in Congress. That may not apply to the knottiest part
18、 of reform: what to do about Americas 11m-12m illegal immigrants, two-thirds of whom have lived in the country for over a decade. The Senate bill would allow most undocumented immigrants to apply for citizenship after paying back-taxes, displaying English proficiency, passing a background check and
19、so forth. That, though, was too much for House Republicans to stomach, so Mr. Boehner proposes merely to remove the threat of deportation from those who can satisfy a similar laundry list; there will, he says, be “no special path to citizenship“.(分数:10.00)(1).We can learn from the first paragraph th
20、at _.(分数:2.00)A.Mitt Romney is a presidential candidateB.Americas law system has been confusingC.Most Americans turn away from RepublicansD.Mitt Romney can be a perfect president(2).According to Paragraph 2, which one is NOT true?(分数:2.00)A.The immigration reform was postponed for a period.B.John Bo

24、cs, were scheduled to make their debut . Since the first winter Olympics in 1924, the total has swelled from 16 to 98. Some of the latest batch, such as the womens ski jump, are variations on existing events. Others will be less familiar to the mainly middle-aged audience. This is as the organisers
