二、涉及“毒品”的历年真题
2012年考研英语阅读Part A
Come on Everybody's doing it. That whispered message, half invitation and half forcing, is what most of us think of when we hear the words peer pressure. It usually leads to no good-drinking, drugs and casual sex. But in her new book Join the Club, Tina Rosenberg contends that peer pressure can also be a positive force through what she calls the social cure, in which organizations and officials use the power of group dynamics to help individuals improve their lives and possibly the word.
21. According to the first paragraph, peer pressure often emerges as
(A) a supplement to the social cure
(B) a stimulus to group dynamics
(C) an obstacle to school progress
(D) a cause of undesirable behaviors
【答案】 (D)
【解析】2012 年考研英语阅读 Part A出自2011年3月时代周刊上一篇有关 Herd Mentality 的文章。设问为来自同龄人的压力通常会变成为什么,选项A:a supplement to the social cure 对社会治疗的一种补充,选项B:a stimulus to group dynamics 对团队活力的一种促进,选项C:an obstacle to school progress 对学校进步的一种阻碍,选项D:a cause of undesirable behaviors 不良行为的起因。
本题属于段落推理题,依据题干关键词peer pressure often emerge as=become 回到原文查找到第一段第三句It usually leads to no good---drinking, drugs and casual sex.(意为:它指代前面的同辈人的压力通常不 会导致任何好处,比如喝酒、毒品和乱性),由此可见同辈人的压力通常会给人带来坏处,也就是说带来消极的结果,属于贬义的方向,因此选项D中的 cause 和原文的 lead to, undesirable behaviors 属于不好习惯的上义词,但都属于同义替换的命题技巧。
2004年考研英语完形填空真题解析
Other identifiable causes of offensive acts include frustration or failure in school, the increased 38 of drugs and alcohol, and the growing 39 of child abuse and child neglect. All these conditions tend to increase the probability of a child committing a criminal act, although a direct causal relationship has not yet been established.
38. (A)expense (B) restriction(C) allocation(D) availability
39. (A)incidence(B) awareness(C) exposure(D) popularity
38【解析】(D)语义衔接/词汇辨析题。Other identifiable causes of offensive acts include frustration or failure in school, the increasedof drugs and alcohol…此句的含义为“其他的能够发现的导致犯罪行为的原因包括上学受挫和失败,毒品和酒类产品的……”。选项A. expense花费,支出;B. restriction 限制;C. allocation 分配;D. availability可利用性,有益,可得到的东西。本题所在的语句表述的是造成青少年犯罪的因素之一,四个选项中availability最符合题意,意为“毒品和酒越来越容易得到”。A项expense容易误选,其含义为“花费,开支”不符合句义。
39.【解析】(A) 语义衔接题。Other identifiable causes of offensive acts include frustration or failure in school, the increased availability of drugs and alcohol, the growingof child abuse and child neglect.此句的含义为“其他的能够发现的导致犯罪行为的原因包括上学受挫和失败,毒品和酒类产品的存在,虐待孩子和忽略孩子的……越来越多。” 选项A. incidence 发生,发生率;B. awareness 意识;C. exposure 暴露;D. popularity 普及,流行。结合上下文我们可以看出命题人所要表达的是虐待孩子和忽视孩子也提高了青少年犯罪率。因此正确答案为A,这些事情发生率的增长会造成更多犯罪。
通过以上真题,考生们可以看出涉及“毒品”的考研真题文章还真是不少,仔细研究命题人的出题思路和命题方法,扎实掌握相关词汇,才能在考场上一显身手,愿考生都能取得满意的成绩,在这个寒冬腊月里绽放出最美丽的花朵!
