點評：本篇文章摘自the Guardian(衛(wèi)報)上題為“In language and action, there's a new brutalism in Westminster”的一篇評論文。George Osborne提出“前期尋找工作”方案，目的是為了提高人民生活水平，減少其對于政府失業(yè)津貼的依賴。接著分析他提出這一方案的動機及這方案的有效性，其中涉及失業(yè)者的心態(tài)和英國現(xiàn)有的福利政策。
本篇閱讀有一定的難度，需要考生從作者的措辭和對于一些關(guān)鍵詞的雙引號準確推斷出作者對于George Osborne的這一方案的態(tài)度。選項設(shè)置有一定的混淆性。

點評：本篇文章來自Economist(經(jīng)濟學人)，標題是America’s lawyers: Guilty as charged。從第一段的關(guān)鍵詞lawyers和America就可大概推出此篇文章主要就是圍繞美國法律界展開。作者指出存在的問題：一、法律專業(yè)學習花費過高;二、非律師者不能持有律師事務(wù)所的股份，導致費用高和公司創(chuàng)新緩慢;針對這些問題，提出了解決方法。文章最后呼吁美國學習其他國家，嘗試律師行業(yè)自由化。
本篇難度不大，除了最后一道主旨大意題，其余都是細節(jié)題和推斷題，均能從文章找到關(guān)鍵句。 Text 3

點評：本篇文章介紹了考古學家尋找遺址的方法和過程。文章開篇指出，對于不具備明顯特征的考古遺址，調(diào)研和采樣是非常重要的手段。雖然有些考古遺址跡象明顯，且有些是意外發(fā)現(xiàn)得知，但大部分考古遺址都是經(jīng)多年研究才被世人發(fā)現(xiàn)。如今，考古學家主要采取系統(tǒng)的調(diào)研和高科技手段來尋找遺址。例如，地面測量可以精確判斷挖掘是否順利;而調(diào)研既可以針對單個居住點，也可以覆蓋整片區(qū)域。文章最后舉例，美國考古學家René Million和George Cowgill經(jīng)過多年時間，終于成功繪制出位于墨西哥谷的整個特奧蒂瓦坎城市。
本篇文章題材對有些學生來說會比較生僻，但只要掌握每段首句意思，思路清晰，就能排列出正確的順序。 Part C Translation
46. It is also the reason why when we try to describe music with words, all we can do is articulate our reactions to it and not grasp music itself.
這也是為什么當我們試圖用語言描述音樂時，我們只能表達對音樂的感受，而無法領(lǐng)悟音樂的精髓。
47. By all accounts he was a freethinking person, and a courageous one, and I find courage an essential quality for the understanding, let alone the performance, of his works.
人們一致認為，貝多芬思想自由而勇敢無畏，在我看來，要理解其作品必須要抓住勇氣這一本質(zhì)，在演奏其作品時更是如此。
48. Beethoven's habit of increasing the volume with an extreme intensity and then abruptly following it with a sudden soft passage was only rarely used by composers before him.
貝多芬習慣用緊促有力的演奏提高音量，然后曲風一轉(zhuǎn)，緊接一段輕柔舒緩的音樂，而在他之前很少有作曲家這么做。
49. Especially significant was his views of freedom, which, for him, was associated with the rights and responsibilities of the individual; he advocated freedom of thought and of personal expression.
貝多芬的自由觀意義尤為深遠。在他看來，自由與個人的權(quán)利、責任息息相關(guān)，他提倡思想自由與個人言論自由。
50. One could interpret much of the work of Beethoven by saying that suffering is inevitable, but the courage to fight it renders life worth living.
你可以這樣闡釋貝多芬的大多數(shù)作品：磨難是在所難免的，但是與磨難抗爭的勇氣則是生命的意義之所在。 Honorable president,
I’m writing this letter to express my views concerning about how to improve the health status among our university students. My suggestions are as follows.
Firstly, we should pay more attention to the physical conditions of the undergraduates rather than their academic performances. Secondly, adequate PE lessons should be guaranteed in their course systems. Finally, we hope that our university should regularly organize various extracurricular activities. Through the implementation of the above methods, I am convinced that the health conditions of our college students could be enhanced considerably.
I am looking forward to your reply and I will appreciate your consideration for my proposals.
Yours sincerely,
Xxx
本篇考研英語一的小作文是考研常見的建議信，題材涉及大學校園生活，考生應(yīng)該比較熟悉，難度不大。需要注意的是小作文重在語句的精煉，在信中要清晰明了地表達觀點、列明論點。考生在書寫時，應(yīng)當首先表明寫此信件的目的;然后具體闡述幾個方面，并可借用firstly, secondly, finally等標示詞有條理地闡明自己的建議;最后寫希望收信人給予回復或采納，并表示感謝。 Company
As depicted in the first half of the cartoon, a loving mother held the hand of a little girl thirty years ago. While in the second half, the little girl, who has become an adult, holds her aged mother tightly three decades later. The combination of the two does indicate theconnotation of the word "company".
It cannot be denied that parents contribute their countless vigor and energy in the cultivation of their children. Every progress of children is immersed with their parents’ dedication and efforts. As time passes, children become robust grown-ups, while parents get weak and feeble. And this is the very moment for them to change their positions, namely, the former should put their heart and soul to care for the latter. This care not only belongs to the fulfillment of responsibilities, but also functions as the most precious rewards for the latter.
As far as I am concerned, once parents and children can identify their responsibilities in different phases of life and keep in good company with each other, a more harmonious society will be just around the corner.
