通生活

2. Culinary/烹饪 #7038 2019-12 本月高频

暂无文本内容,大神们快来完善。

回忆要点:
回忆1.考到问这个人是study什么的,我听的是这个人从早上起来就去xx做吃的,然后整体就是一个时间轴去准备和做吃的,
所以整体下来我选的culinary school,求大神指点,这个题考到两次。
回忆2.你隔壁的邻居养了一只小狗,这只小狗经常跑到院子外面,你碰到了就会帮他把狗牵回他家,邻居感谢你,送你了一些
蛋糕, 这一周内你每天都会把狗带回去,他都会给你一些奖励 但是到了下一周,他突然不给你奖励了,你还会帮他把乱跑的
小狗带回去吗?你会坐视不管? 还是依旧帮助他,不管有没有奖励 问题是:文章表达什么意思,我选的是motivation,做事

3. Language/语言 #7025 2019-12


If our language acts as a pair of glasses with tinted lenses, can we go one step further? Are these lenses actually
distorting? Does our language predispose us to a particular line of thinking and warp our view of reality? Do the
differences that exist between languages in their grammatical structure or in their vocabulary actually control our
patterns of thought? As some linguists have asked: How different would Aristotle's logic have been if he had spoken
Mandarin or Hopi? What is the main issue which is concerning the writer? the reasons behind Aristotle's philosophy
the way in which writers distort reality the extent to which language influences thought the causes of differences
between languages.

4. Fear of crime/犯罪恐惧感 #7024 2019-12

It would come as a surprise to many that the concept of fear of crime is a recent invention. However, prior to the mid-
1960s the term was never used, and certainly not in the sense we use it today. This may not on the face of it seem
very significant; terms, ideas and language continually change. However, fear of crime is more than simply a term to
describe a physical or psychological reaction to the threat or perceived threat of victimization. Rather, it is now seen
as a quantifiable, measurable, social scientific object, a policy target and a political issue. Read the text and answer the
multiple-choice question by selecting the correct response. Only one response is correct. This information suggests
that the key way in which the concept of fear of crime has changed is that _____ it is now regarded as a measurable
phenomenon, which can be addressed through government policies. before the 1960s it was linked to victimization
without being linked to more commonly held views about violence. before the 1960s it referred to personal issues
whereas now it refers to abstract issues. it was previously conceived in physical terms, whereas it is now seen in
psychological terms.

17. Class-dominant theory/阶级优势理论 #4654 2018-08

The class-dominant theory argues that the media reflects and projects the view of a minority elite, which controls it.
Those people who own and control the corporations that produce media comprise this elite. Advocates of this view
concern themselves particularly with massive corporate mergers of media organizations, which limit competition and
put big business at the reins of media – especially news media. Their concern is that when ownership is restricted, a
few people then have the ability to manipulate what people can see or hear. For example, owners can easily avoid or
silence stories that expose unethical corporate behaviour or hold corporations responsible for their actions.

回忆要点:选: distrust large media organisations 干扰: are anti-competitive 干扰: are the minority 还有一个选项肯定是错
的,忘了是啥

像是受过英国教育的 更偏向于意大利画风 问的是可以得出的结论 选项有4个 1伊丽莎白女王认为这幅画最好 2作者是个意大利
人(不确定) 3作者生活在国外(大概这个意思) 4 画作的拥有者名叫Danalys 我选的4 因为文章里是这样说的 the portrait
is called the “ Danalys Portrait”, after the previous owner, is the most accomplished portrait recognized by the public.
这个after我认为是取名的意思

survive.

In the early 19th century a group of Evangelical Christians called the Clapham Sect were active in politics. They
campaigned for an end to slavery and cruel sports. They gained their name because so many of them lived in
Clapham. Organized religion was much more important in the 19th century than it is today. Nevertheless in 1851 a
survey showed that only about 40% of the population were at church or chapel on a given Sunday. Even allowing for
those who were ill or could not make it for some other reason it meant that half the population did not go to church.
Certainly many of the poor had little or no contact with the church. In 1881 a similar survey showed only about 13 of
the population of England at church on a given Sunday. In the late 19th century organized religion was in decline in
Britain.

During the 1800s the factory system gradually replaced the system of people working in their own homes or in small
workshops. In England the textile industry was the first to be transformed. It employed many children. Unfortunately
when children worked in textile factories they often worked for more than 12 hours a day. In the early 19th century
parliament passed laws to restrict child labor. However they all proved to be unenforceable. The first effective law
was passed in 1833. It was effective because for the first time factory inspectors were appointed to make sure the law
was being obeyed. The new law banned children under 9 from working in textile factories. It said that children aged 9
to 13 must not work for more than 12 hours a day or 48 hours a week. Children aged 13 to 18 must not work for
more than 69 hours a week. Furthermore nobody under 18 was allowed to work at night (from 8.30 pm to 5.30 am).
Children aged 9 to 13 were to be given 2 hours education a day.

回忆要点:借楼回忆【19世纪 工业革命 关于妇女和child 工作】原文在 http://www.localhistories.org/19thcent.html 只不过


是分开取段落search: 从 that was partly because infant mortality was high开始 到讲child 工作几个小时

30. Graffiti/涂鸦 #4456 2018-07


Postgraduate student Genevieve Rowles is working hard to make graffiti a rarity rather than a fact of modern city life,
as part of her Master's degree in forensic science.

Ms. Rowles is studying graffiti tags to find a way of identifying the perpetrators and eventually building a statewide
database of offenders and their tags. She says a common defence among taggers is to admit to one offense but deny
multiple tags, claiming them to be forgeries. Her aim is to be able to disprove that tags can be forged, so that
offenders can be prosecuted for multiple tags.

回忆要点:

Jupiter has two and a half times more as compared to all other planets put together. Besides, it's diameter is 11 times
more than Earth's diameter. Because of its size, the scientists were also forced into believing that it became a star.
Gasses and dust contracted to build the planet and immense pressure was created by the gravitational forces along
with tens of thousands of degrees of temperature. However, unlike the Sun, the unavailability of sufficient mass
required to create the temperature which can initiate fusion reaction, Jupiter relatively got cooler over a period of

41. Art/艺术 #3812 2018-04

Many argue that art cannot be defined. We could go about this in several ways. Art is often considered as the process
or product of deliberately arranging elements in a way that appeals to the senses or emotions. It encompasses a
diverse range of human activities, creations and ways of expression, including music, literature, film, sculpture and
paintings. The meaning of art is explored in a branch of philosophy known as aesthetics. At least, that is what
Wikipedia claims.

48. Artist/艺术家 #2230 2017-12

Being one of his best works and he never again allowed his art to be influenced by contemporary politics. On the
contrary, he had the utmost contempt for the age in which he lived, for its crass materialism and complacent belief in
progress; and his art is almost entirely an attempt to escape from it. He escaped into the subjects of romantic poetry,
in particular, that of Shakespeare, Byron, and Walter Scott. Some of his greatest pictures were inspired by Byron, and
he had a Byronic power of self-identification with the forces of the sublime - in particular ‘the roaring of lions and the
destructive sword’. Baudelaire said that when an idea shot through his mind his muscles quivered with impatience
and his eyes shone like a tiger stalking its prey. At feeding time in the Paris Zoo, he was overwhelmed with happiness.

If humans were truly at home under the light of the moon and stars, we would go in darkness happily, the midnight

with eyes adapted to living in the sun's light. This is a basic evolutionary fact, even though most of us don't think of
ourselves as diurnal beings any more than we think of ourselves as primates or mammals or Earthlings. Yet it's the
only way to explain what we've done to the night: We've engineered it to receive us by filling it with light.

Every day millions of lights and computers are left on in deserted offices, apartments, and houses. Environmental
activists say that simply switching them off could cut Sydney's greenhouse gas emissions by five percent over the next
year. Per capita, Australia is one of the world's largest producers of carbon dioxide and other gases that many
scientists believe are helping to warm the Earth's atmosphere, causing climate upset. A long-standing drought and
serious water shortages in Australia have focused much attention on climate change. Some experts warn higher
temperatures could leave this nation of 20 million people at the mercy of more severe droughts and devastating
tropical cyclones.

75. Artists/艺术家 #580 2017-04

The artists were not a rich man's frivolous addition to his entourage but an essential part of a scientific team in the
age before photography. Their principal task was to draw the specimens that the scientists collected. Although the
naturalists, such as Banks, intended to preserve some of their specimens and take them home to England, it would
not be practical to do so with all of them. Banks also expected to dissect certain animals, and the artists would
preserve a record of this work. In addition to their scientific drawings, Banks wanted the artists to sketch the people
and places they visited.

Dissecting specimens was not as useful as taking them to England.


Naturalists themselves were often talented artists.
Photography eventually made scientific expeditions more productive.
Artists performed a variety of tasks in early scientific explorations.

77. Female leadership/女性领导力 #578 2017-04


Companies with 30 percent female executives rake in as much as six percentage points more in profits, according to
a study on Monday, feeding into a global debate over the scarcity of women in decision-making business roles. The
results indicate the presence of women in corporate leadership positions can boost a firm’s performance, suggesting
a reward for policies that facilitate women rising through corporate ranks. But the study found while having women
in executive ranks resulted in better profitability, female CEOs or board members did not have a statistically
significant impact on the bottom line.What’s the result of the research?

答案:选more female in leadership tend to generate more profits

86. Written sources/写作材料 #568 2017-04


Social scientists use particular methods to gather qualitative evidence, from observation to interview, but they also
use autobiographical accounts, journalism, and other documentary material to flesh out and add meaning to
statistics. As with reading numbers, reading textual evidence requires us to practice, to set time aside to learn how to
do it, and to understand the conventions of writing which operate in the different forms of writing we encounter. One
of the main problems with reading textual evidence, though, is that, unlike the relationship most of us have with
numbers where we may use them at a pretty basic level, most of us are, if anything, over-familiar with words. When
we want to understand their value as social science evidence we need to forget how familiar we are with first person
accounts and everyday speech - for example, in newspapers, magazines, and books - and learn a different approach
to them.

Social scientists use observation, interviews and even print journalism as evidence for the claims they make. They may
collect evidence through questionnaires with pre-set questions and by open-ended interviews which allow
respondents to speak for themselves. They may observe social relations explicitly as social scientists or may
participate themselves in a particular community to gain 'inside' information.

Social scientists also draw on print journalism on occasion and may use the same sources, for example official
statistics, and the work of other social scientists to support their claims. We need to remember, though, that
journalists do not need to present the same rigorous referencing and support for their claims as social scientists are
required to do. Most importantly, newspaper and magazine articles are written under commercial pressures; for
example they must help to sell the newspaper by being deliberately provocative, or by reflecting the dominant views
of its readers.

In 1958 instant noodles went on the market, yellowish wormy bricks in cellophane bags, and were laughed at by
fresh-noodle makers all over Japan. They were just a high-tech craze, costing six times as much as the fresh stuff;
they would never catch on. By the end of the first year, Momofuku Ando had sold 13m bags and had attracted a dozen
competitors. He never looked back. The Japanese voted instant noodles their most important 20th-century invention,
Sony Walkmans notwithstanding. Mr. Ando's firm, Nissin, became a $3 billion global enterprise. Read the text and
answer the question by selecting all the correct responses. You will need to select more than one response.

Mr. Ando's products are not well-known outside of Japan.


When instant noodles came on the market they cost much less than the fresh ones.

The distribution of power resources in the contemporary information age varies greatly on different issues. We are
told that the United States is the only superpower in a unipolar world. But the situation is far more complex than first
meets the eye. The agenda of world politics has become like a three-dimensional chess game in which one can win
only by playing vertically as well as horizontally. On the top board of classic interstate military issues, the United
States is indeed the only superpower with global military reach, and it makes sense to speak in traditional terms of
unipolarity or hegemony. However, on the middle board of interstate economic issues, the distribution of power is
multipolar. The United States cannot obtain the outcomes it wants on trade, antitrust, or financial regulation issues

without the agreement of the European Union, Japan, China and others. It makes little sense to call this American
hegemony, and on the bottom board of transnational issues like terrorism, international crime, climate change, and

actors. It makes no sense to call this a unipolar world or an American empire. Read the text and answer the question
by selecting all the correct responses. You will need to select more than one response.

He does not agree that the United States has world domination, except in military matters.
He worries that important transnational issues won't be resolved because the U.S. isn't given the lead.

21. Snow melt/雪融化 #4838 2018-09

Large forest fires have occurred more frequently in the western United States since the mid-1980s as spring
temperatures increased, mountain snows melted earlier and summers got hotter, according to new research. Almost
seven times more forested federal land burned during the 1987-2003 period than during the prior 17 years. In
addition, large fires occurred about four times more often during the latter period. The research is the most
systematic analysis to date of recent changes in forest fire activity in the western United States. The increases in fire
extent and frequency are strongly linked to higher March-through-August temperatures and are most pronounced for
mid-elevation forests in the northern Rocky Mountains. The new finding points to climate change, not fire
suppression policies and forest fuel accumulation, as the primary driver of recent increases in large forest fires.

回忆要点:考到climate change导致雪融化(snow melt),还导致了越来越多的forest fire。 1993-2003多了7次森林火


灾。 选项选了1. Climate change causes snow melt; 2. More forest fire during 1993-2003 干扰项有:森林火灾的温度上
升,雪融化使climate change之类的。 求核对答案。

25. Dennett/丹尼特 #4653 2018-08

Dennett recognizes that all human minds are shaped not only by natural selection but by enormous cultural
influenced which effectively redesign our minds. He invites us to think of the conscious mind as consisting of those
mental contents that win in competition against other mental contents in the battle for control of behavior. What we
are is the “organization of all the competitive activity between a host of competences” that our bodies have
developed. Consciousness is defined by what a mind can do – whether it can concentrate, be distracted, recall earlier
events, keep track of a number of things at once etc. Dennett urges us to resist the temptation to imagine animals as
accompanying their clever activities with streams of reflective consciousness as we would. We may not know that they
do not, but we certainly cannot assume that they do. He notes that the more we learn about clever activities in
animals and how they are accomplished, the less the processes in their brains seem to resemble the thoughts we
imagined were doing the work.

Our minds are shaped by natural selection.


Our conscious mind tries to control our behaviors.
Our minds are not shaped by cultural influences.
Animals make decisions based on their conscious minds.
A mind cannot concentrate or cannot be distracted.

27. 3D Printing/三维打印 #4465 2018-07

With the help of their latest invention in science – a 3D printer, researchers managed to create the exact copy of a
man's thumb bones. The device can now be used to help surgeons restore damaged bones by creating their precise
copies, which are made from the patient's cells. The new method implies a number of steps. Initially, it is important to
have a 3D image of the bone that is going to be copied. In case the bone has been damaged, one can create a mirror
image of the bone's intact twin. Afterwards the picture of the bone is inserted into a 3D inject printer that puts thin
layers of a material (selected beforehand) on top of one another till the 3D object shows up. After successfully
replicating a bone, the copy itself features small pores on its "scaffolds". This is where bone cells can eventually settle,
grow and then completely displace the biodegradable scaffold. Scientists removed CD117 cells from bone marrow
that remained after hip-replacement surgical operations. These cells develop into primordial bone cells, also known
as osteoblasts. The latter were syringed on top of the bone scaffolds in a gel that was created to nourish the CD117
cells as well as support them. In the final step, scientists sew scaffolds under the skin on the backs of laboratory mice.
After 15 weeks the scaffold had turned into human bone.

回忆要点:

31. Snow Slide/雪崩 #4016 2018-05


Now, Osvanny Ramos of the Ecole Normale Suprieure in Lyon, France, and colleagues say prediction is possible after
all. They designed an experiment that induced avalanches in a two-dimensional pile of 4-millimetre-diameter steel
beads. They placed a 60-centimetre row of randomly spaced beads between two parallel, vertical glass plates 4.5
millimetres apart, with the beads glued to the bottom to simulate the ground under a natural pile. Then they dropped
in one bead at a time, creating piles of up to 55,000 beads. After each drop, the team photographed the pile and
measured the position of each bead to calculate the "space factor" - a measure of the disorder in the system, which
was related to the space surrounding each bead (see diagram). The greater the disorder round a bead, the more likely
an avalanche was. If one or more beads moved when a new bead fell on the pile, that was considered to be an
avalanche. An extra-large avalanche involved between 317 and 1000 beads. The researchers found that if the space
factor before a bead dropped was greater than it had been 50 steps earlier, they could predict an extra-large
avalanche with 64 per cent accuracy. Ramos says that they can improve the odds by analysing more information, such
as the size of the pile (Physical Review Letters, vol 102, p 078701). The work could also have important consequences
for predicting earthquakes. Ramos has an inkling why forecasting earthquakes is so difficult: seismologist tend to use
information about the time and size of events, known as a time series. However, Ramos found that this didn't help
predict the next big avalanche. "When seismologists try to predict earthquakes, they analyse the time series," he says.
He argues that they would have more success analysing data analogous to the internal disorder in the pile of beads.

Space factor is related to the space around each bead, and the greater disorder indicates a higher possibility of
avalanche.
The greater the disorder around a bead, the less likely an avalanche was.
Internal disorder analysis will lead to a more successful model.
They could 100% accurately predict an extra-large avalanche based on the change in space factor of a bead.
Forecasting earthquakes is easier than predicting avalanche.

In the year 1852, a clerk rushed into the chanber of Sir Andrew Waugh, India's surveyor general, and exclaimed that a
Bengali computer named Radhanath Sikhdar, working out of the Survey's Calcutta bureau, had discovered the highest
mountain in the world. In 1865, nine years after Sikhdar's computations had been confirmed, Waugh bestowed the
name Mount Everest on Peak XV, in honor of Sir George Everest, his predecessor as surveyor general. As it happened,
Tibetans who lived to the north of the great mountain already had a more mellifluous name for it, Jomolungma, which
translates to "goddess, mother of the word," and Nepalis who resided to the south called the peak Sagarmatha,
""goddess of the sky", But Waugh pointedly chose to ignore these native apellations (as well as official policy
encouraging the retention of local or ancient names), and Everest was the name that stuck.

问题是,文中作者对这座山峰的起名持什么样的态度。
1. Waugh 不该以前辈的名字命名。
2. 应该根据Tibetan和Nepail起名字。
3.应该起名为Nepail因为坐落在Nepail。

Here is a part of Spain's sun-baked Andalucia that is extraordinary not only because of its unspoiled terrain and
authentic Spanish traditions but also because of its caves. These are not dark, damp holes, with dripping water and
evil smells. They are residences, ancient Bronze Age dwellings now being refurbished for hundreds of 21st century
Spaniards. In Galera, the region's most important village, it's estimated that there are at least 1,000 such habitations
carved into its hillsides. We take old caves renovate them, then sell them on, says Rob Oakley, office manager of
leading developer Galera enterprises. Our company was set up by someone who discovered the area of Galera when
it was just a tourist attraction 15 years ago and saw its potential. The ancient abodes are transformed from rough

53. Pigeons’ Homing Skill/鸽子归巢的技能 #603 2017-04


The theory that pigeons famous skill at navigation is down to iron-rich nerve cells in their beaks has been disproved
by a new study published in Nature.

The study shows that iron-rich cells in the pigeon beak are in fact specialised white blood cells, called macrophages.
This finding, which shatters the established dogma, puts the field back on course as the search for magnetic cells
continues.

“The mystery of how animals detect magnetic fields has just got more mysterious” said Dr David Keays who led the
study.

Dr Keays continued: “We had hoped to find magnetic nerve cells, but unexpectedly we found thousands of
macrophages, each filled with tiny balls of iron.”

Macrophages are a type of white blood cell that play a vital role in defending against infection and re-cycling iron from
red blood cells. They’re unlikely to be involved in magnetic sensing as they are not excitable cells and cannot produce
electrical signals which could be registered by neurons and therefore influence the pigeon's behaviour.

We employed state-of-the-art imaging techniques to visualise and map the location of iron-filled cells in the pigeon
beak.

The Turks and Caicos Islands are a multi-island archipelago at the southern tip of the Bahamas chain, approximately
550 miles south-east of Florida. The islands are an overseas territory' of the United Kingdom although they exercise a
high degree of local political autonomy. The economy of the islands rests mainly on tourism, with some contribution
from offshore banking and fishing.

Primary schooling is divided into eight grades, with most pupils entering at the age of four years and leaving at twelve.
After two kindergarten years, Grades 1-6 are covered by a graded curriculum in maths, language, and science that
increases in difficulty as pupils get older. There is little repetition and pupils are expected to progress through
primary school in their age cohorts. At the end of primary schooling, pupils sit an examination that serves to stream
them in the secondary setting. Primary and secondary school enrolment is virtually universal.

There are a total of ten government primary schools on the Islands. Of these, seven are large enough to organize
pupils into single-grade classrooms. Pupils in these schools are generally grouped by age into mixed-ability' classes.
The remaining three schools, because of their small pupil numbers, operate with multigrade groupings.

They serve communities with small populations whose children cannot travel to a neighboring larger primary school.

Pupils in these classes span up to three grade and age groups.

As far as classroom organization is concerned, the multigrade and monograde classrooms are similar in terms of the
number of pupils and the general seating arrangements, with pupils in rows facing the blackboard. There is no
evidence that the multigrade teachers operate in a particularly resource-poor environment in the Turks and Caicos
Island. This is in contrast to studies conducted in other developing country contexts.

In the last paragraph, what information can you have?


答案: 1. Multigrade 和 monograde 拥有相似的教学资源;2. 在这个地区的 multigrade 要比其他国家的好
According to the text, which of the following statements can be concluded about primary classes in the Turks and
