2022-2023年考博英语-西北农林科技大学模拟考试题（含答案解析）1. 单选题The British Medical Journal recently featured a strong response to what was judged an inappropriately lenient reaction by a medical school to a student cheating in an examination. Although we have insufficient reliable data about the extent of this phenomenon, its prevention, or its effective management, much can be concluded and acted upon on the basis of common sense and concepts with face validityThere is general agreement that there should be zero tolerance of cheating in a profession based on trust and one on which human lives depend. It is reasonable to assume that cheaters in medical school will be more likely than others to continue to act dishonestly with patients, colleagues, insurers and governments.The behaviors under question are multifactorial in origin. There are familial, religious, and cultural values that are acquired long before medical school. For example, countries, cultures, and subcultures exist where bribes and dishonest behavior are almost a norm. There are secondary schools in which neither staff nor students tolerate cheating and others where cheating is rampant; there are homes which imbue young people with high standards of ethical behavior and others which leave ethical training to the harmful influence of television and the market place.Medical schools reflect society and cannot be expected to remedy all the ills of a society. The selection process of medical students might be expected to favor candidates with integrity and positive ethical behavior-if one had a reliable method for detecting such characteristics in advance. Medical school should be the major focus of attention for imbuing future doctors with integrity and ethical sensitivity. Unfortunately there are troubling, if inconclusive, data that suggest that during medical school the ethical behavior of medical students does not necessarily improve; indeed, moral development may actually stop or even regress.The creation of a pervasive institutional culture of integrity is essential. It is critical that the academic and clinical leaders of the institution set a personal example of integrity. Medical schools must make their institutional position and their expectations of students absolutely clear from day one. The development of a schools culture of integrity requires a partnership with the students in which they play an active role in its creation and nurturing. Moreover, the schools examination system and general treatment of students must be perceived as fair. Finally, the treatment of infractions must be firm，fair, transparent, and consistent.1.What does the author say about cheating in medical schools?2.According to the author, it is important to prevent cheating in medical schools because（ ）.3.What does the author say about the cause(s) of cheating?4.According to the author, what precautions should medical schools take to prevent students from cheating?5.The author will probably agree with which of the following statements?问题1选项A.Extensive research has been done about this phenomenon.B.We have sufficient data to prove that prevention is feasible.C.We are safe to conclude that this phenomenon exists on a grand scale.D.Reliable data about the extent, prevention and management of the phenomenon is lacking.问题2选项A.the medical profession is based on trustB.there is zero tolerance of cheating in medicineC.the medical profession depends on the governmentD.cheating exists extensively in medical schools问题3选项A.Family, culture and society play an active part.B.Bad school environment is the leading cause of student cheating.C.Parents are always to blame for their childrens cheating behavior.D.Cheating exists primarily because students learn bad things from TV.问题4选项A.Medical schools should establish a firm moral standard to weed out applicants with low integrity.B.Medical schools should make efforts to remedy the ills of a society.C.Medical schools should teach future doctors integrity and ethical values.D.There is nothing medical schools can do to improve the ethical behavior of their students.问题5选项A.Medical schools should make exams easier for the students to alleviate the fierce competition.B.Prominent figures in the medical institution should create a set of moral standards to be applied in medical schools.C.Medical students should play an active role in the creation and preservation of a culture of integrity.D.Those students who cheat in the exams should be instantly expelled from school【答案】第1题:D第2题:A第3题:A第4题:C第5题:C【解析】1.事实细节题。文章第一段提到 “Although we have insufficient reliable data about the extent of this phenomenon, its prevention, or its effective management, much can be concluded and acted upon on the basis of common sense and concepts with face validity. 虽然我们没有足够的可靠数据来说明这一现象的严重程度，也不了解如何预防和进行有效管理，但可以根据常识和看似有效的观念得出很多结论并采取行动”可知，D项“有关这种现象的程度、预防和管控的可靠数据是缺乏的” 正确；也由此知A、B、C三项不正确。2.事实细实题。第二段中提到 “There is general agreement that there should be zero tolerance of cheating in a profession based on trust and one on which human lives depend. 人们普遍认为，在基于信任和有关生命安全的职业中的作弊应该零容忍”可知A“医疗职业基于信任”正确；B“医疗作弊是零容忍的”是结果不是原因；C“医疗行业依靠政府”和D“作弊在医学院中广泛存在”原文均未提及，故选A。3.事实细节题。文章第三段提到“The behaviors under question are multifactorial in origin. There are familial, religious, and cultural values that are acquired long before medical school.导致这些作弊行为的原因很多。这些原因包括在就读医学院之前受到的家庭、宗教及文化影响。” 可知A“家庭，文化和社会发挥重要作用”正确，故选A。4.事实细节题。A项“医学院应该建立一个可靠的道德标准来淘汰低水平的申请者”，文章第四段提到“if one had a reliable method for detecting such characteristics in advance.如果医学院有可靠的方法提前识别学生的品质的话”，此句为条件状语从句，由此可知目前还没有找到这种识别方法，故A不正确；B项 “医学院应该努力纠正所有的社会问题”，文章第四段中提到 “Medical schools reflect society and cannot be expected to remedy all the ills of a society. 医学院的问题反映了整个社会问题，我们不能指望社会的所有弊病都能被纠正”可知B不正确；C项“医学院应该培养未来医生诚信和道德价值观”，第四段中提到“ Medical school should be the major focus of attention for imbuing future doctors with integrity and ethical sensitivity.医学院应该成为未来医生灌输诚信和道德观念的中心”可知C正确；D项“医学院无法改善学生的道德行为”，文章最后一段列举了一些解决学生道德行为问题的方法，如“在医学院中创建一个普遍的诚信文化制度；让医学院的学术领袖树立个人诚信榜样可知D不正确，故选C。5.判断推理题。A项“医学院应该让学生考试更容易，以缓解激烈的竞争。”和D项“考试作弊的学生应该立即被开除出学校”在文中均未提及；B项“医疗机构中的杰出人物应该制定一套道德标准应用于医学院。”原文最后一段提到 “it is critical that the academic and clinical leaders of the institution set a personal example of integrity.医学院的学术领袖树立个人的诚信榜样是很关键的”，可知B项中“create a set of moral standards 创建道徳标准”不正确；C项“医学生应在创建和维护诚信文化方面发挥积极作用”，最后一段提到“The development of a schools culture of integrity requires a partnership with the students in which they play an active role in its creation and nurturing. 学校诚信文化的发展需要与学生建立伙伴关系，使他们在学校的创建和培养中发挥积极作用。”可知C项正确。2. 填空题Every time a person eats something he makes a nutritional decision.

Before long, the Indians had been moved to missions and the land which Hollywood now occupies was divided in two by the Spanish Government. Acreage to the west became part of Rancho La Brea and settlements to the East became Rancho Los Feliz.By the 1870s an agricultural community flourished in the area and crops ranging from hay and grain to subtropical bananas and pineapples were thriving. During the 1880s, the Ranchos were sub-divided. In 1886, H. H. Wilcox bought an area of Rancho La Brea that his wife then christened Hollywood. Within a few years, Wilcox had devised a grid plan for his new community, paved Prospect Avenue (now Hollywood Boulevard) for his main street and was selling large residential lots to Wealthy Midwesterners looking to build homes so they could winter in California.Prospect Avenue soon became a prestigious residential street populated with large Queen Anne, Victorian, and Mission Revival houses. Mrs. Daeida Wilcox raised funds to build churches, schools and a library and Hollywood quickly became a complete and prosperous community. The community incorporated in 1903, but its independence was short-lived, as the lack of water forced annexation in 1910 to the city of Los Angeles, which had a surplus supply of water.In 1911, the Nestor Company opened Hollywoods first film studio in an old tavern on the comer of Sunset and Gower. Not long thereafter Cecil B. DeMille and D. W. Griffith began making movie in the area drawn to the community for its open space and moderate climate.The needs of this thriving new industry created radical changes in the community, causing a clash between older and newer residents. Acres of agricultural land south of what-is-now Hollywood Boulevard were subdivided and developed as housing for the enormous numbers of workers that movie-making required.High-rise commercial buildings began to spring up along Hollywood Boulevard, three competing real-estate interests caused concentrations of development at Highland, Cahuenga, and at Vine. It wasnt long before nearly all the homes along the Boulevard were replaced by commercial buildings linking the three comers.Banks, restaurants, clubs and movie palaces sprang up, catering to the demands of the burgeoning film industry during the 1920s and 1930s. The architectural styles of the buildings were representative of those most popular between the World Wars. Banks were typically designed in the more formal Beaux Arts styles, but other buildings in the community took on more playful personalitiesThe ornamental Spanish Colonial Revival style reflected Hollywoods self-conscious extravagance while the new Art Deco and Modern styles fit the communitys aspirations for glamour and sophistication.Hollywood has been anything but static, however, and after a few decades as the capital of film glamour, the neighborhood changed again. Although much of the studio work remained in Hollywood, many stars moved to Beverly Hills, and the elegant shops and restaurants left with them.In the 1960s, music recording studios and offices began moving to Hollywood, an offshoot of the nightclubs further west on Sunset Boulevard. Other businesses, however, continued to migrate to different parts of the city. Hollywood today is a diverse, vital and active community striving to preserve the elegant buildings from its past. Much of the movie industry remains in the area, although the neighborhoods outward appearance has changed.In 1985, the Hollywood Boulevard commercial and entertainment district was officially listed in the National Register of Historic Places protecting the neighborhoods important buildings and seeing to it that the significance of Hollywoods past would always be a part of its future.1.The area now known as Hollywood was first inhabited by Native Americans.

H. Wilcox bought an area of Rancho La Brea that his wife then christened Hollywood. 1886年，H.H.Wilcox买下了Rancho La Brea的一片土地，随后他的妻子将其命名为“好莱坞”，可知并非以妻子的名字命名，而是他妻子为该地区命名为“好莱坞”，由此知该陈述不正确。4.该表述的含义为“富有的中西部人沿着前景大道买了很多住宅，在加利福尼亚建造冬季住宅。” 原文第二段提到“Within a few years, Wilcox had devised a grid plan for his new community, paved Prospect Avenue (now Hollywood Boulevard) for his main street and was selling large residential lots to Wealthy Midwesterners looking to build homes so they could winter in California.几年内，威尔科克斯为他的新社区设计了一个网格计划，为他的主要街道铺设了前景大道（现在是好莱坞大道），并向富有的中西部人出售大量住宅，希望建造房屋，以便他们可以“在加利福尼亚过冬”可推断该表述正确。5.该表述的含义为“由于水供应短缺，好莱坞不得不成为洛杉矶的一部分”，原文第三段提到“.as the lack of water forced annexation in 1910 to the city of Los Angeles, which had a surplus supply of water.由于缺水，1910年好莱坞社区不得不并到洛杉矶市，因为水供应过剩”，可推断该表述正确。6.该表述的含义为“在内斯托公司在好莱坞开设第一家电影制片厂之前，Cecil B.De Mille和D.W.Griffith就开始在好莱坞制作电影”，原文第四段提到 “In 1911, the Nestor Company opened Hollywoods first film studio in an old tavern on the corner of Sunset and Gower. 1911年，内斯托公司在日落大道和高尔街拐角处的一个老酒馆里开设了好莱坞的第一个电影制片厂。及“Not long thereafter Cecil B.DeMille and D. W. Griffith began making movie in the area 随后不久，Cecil B.DeMille和D. W. Griffith也开始在此地拍摄电影。”可推断“Cecil B.DeMille和D. W. Griffith在好莱坞拍摄电影是在Nestor公司来好莱坞开设第一个电影工作室之后发生 的”，故该表述不正确。7.该表述的含义为“二十世纪二三十年代蓬勃发展的电影业导致好莱坞出现了大量的银行、餐馆、俱乐部和电影院。”原文第七段提到“Banks, restaurants, clubs and movie palaces sprang up, catering to the demands of the burgeoning film industry during the 1920s and 1930s. 银行、餐馆、俱乐部和电影宫殿层出不穷，迎合了二十世纪二三十年代新兴电影业的需求”可推断该表述正确。8.该表述的含义为“装饰性的西班牙殖民复兴风格反映了好莱坞对魅力和高雅的渴望。”原文第八段提到 “The ornamental Spanish Colonial Revival style reflected Hollywoods self-conscious extravagance西班牙殖民复兴风格的装饰性体现好莱坞的自我意识奢侈”可推断该表述不正确。9.该表述的含义为“好莱坞一直在不断变化。”，原文第九段提到“Hollywood has been anything but static,.好莱坞一直都不是静态的”及文中提及的好莱坞在各个时期的变化知该表述正确。10.该表述的含义为“好莱坞大道的商业和娱乐区被正式列入国家史迹名录，以保护其古老而优雅的建筑。”原文最后一段提到“.protecting the neighborhoods important buildings and seeing to it that the significance of Hollywoods past would always be a part of its future.保护住宅区内的重要建筑，让人们记住好莱坞的过去的重要意义将永远是其将来的一部分”可推断该表述不正确。5. 填空题English as an official language has gained momentum as proponents keep going to the ballot box with measures that discourage bilingual ballots, notices and documents.
