21、ding Comprehension (40%) （每題2分） Directions: There are 5 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished sentences. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the answer sh

22、eet with a single line through the centre.Passage 1In such a changing, complex society formerly simple solutions to informational needs become complicated. Many of lifes problems which were solved by asking family members, friends or colleagues are beyond the capability of the extended family to res

23、olve. Where to turn for expert information and how to determine which expert advice to accept are questions facing many people today.In addition to this, there is the growing mobility of people since World War II. As families move away from their stable community, their friends of many years, their

24、extended family relationships, the informal flow of information is cut off, and with it the confidence that information will be available when needed and will be trustworthy and reliable. The almost unconscious flow of information about the simplest aspects of living can be cut off. Thus, things onc

25、e learned subconsciously through the casual communications of the extended family must be consciously learned.Adding to societal changes today is an enormous stockpile of information. The individual now has more information available than any generation, and the task of finding that one piece of inf

26、ormation relevant to his or her specific problem is complicated, time-consuming and sometimes even overwhelming.Coupled with the growing quantity of information is the development of technologies which enable the storage and delivery of more information with greater speed to more locations than has

27、ever been possible before. Computer technology makes it possible to store vast amounts of data in machine-readable files, and to program computers to locate specific information. Telecommunication developments enable the sending of messages via television, radio, and very shortly, electronic mail to

28、 bombard people with multitudes of messages. 昆明理工大學(xué)2009年秋季入學(xué)博士研究生招生考試試題Satellites have extended the power of communications to report events at the instant of occurrence. Expertise can be shared world wide through teleconferencing, and problems in dispute can be settled without the participants leav

29、ing their homes and/or jobs to travel to a distant conference site. Technology has facilitated the sharing of information and the storage and delivery of information, thus making more information available to more people.In this world of change and complexity, the need for information is of greatest

30、 importance.Those people who have accurate, reliable up-to-date information to solve the day-to-day problems, the critical problems of their business, social and family life, will survive and succeed. “Knowledge is power” may well be the truest saying and access to information may be the most critic

31、al requirement of all people.51. The word “it” (Line 3, Para. 2) most probably refers to .A. the lack of stable communities B. the breakdown of informal information channelsC. the increased mobility of familiesD. the growing number of people moving from place to place52. The main problem people may

32、encounter today arises from the fact thatA. they have to learn new things consciouslyB. they lack the confidence of securing reliable and trustworthy information C. they have difficulty obtaining the needed information readily D. they can hardly carry out casual communications with an extended famil

33、y53. From the passage we can infer that A. electronic mail will soon play a dominant role in transmitting messagesB. it will become more difficult for people to keep secrets in an information eraC. people will spend less time holding meetings or conferencesD. events will be reported on the spot main

34、ly through satellites54. We can learn from the last paragraph that .A. it is necessary to obtain as muchB. people should make the best use of the informationC. we should realize the importance of accumulating information D. it is of vital importance to acquire needed information efficiently昆明理工大學(xué)200

35、9年秋季入學(xué)博士研究生招生考試試題Passage 2Discoveries in science and technology are thought by “untaught minds” to come in blinding flashes or as the result of dramatic accidents. Sir Alexander Fleming did not, as legend would have it, look at the mold on a piece of cheese and get the idea for penicillin there and

36、then. He experimented with antibacterial substances for nine years before he made his discovery. Inventions and innovations almost always come out of laborious trial and error. Innovation is like soccer; even the best players miss the goal and have their shots blocked much more frequently than they

37、score. The point is that the players who score most are the ones who take most shots at the goal and so it goes with innovation in any field of activity. The prime difference between innovators and others is one of approach. Everybody gets ideas, but innovators work consciously on theirs, and they f

38、ollow them through until they prove practicable or otherwise. What ordinary people see as fanciful abstractions, professional innovators see as solid possibilities.“Creative thinking may mean simply the realization that there's no particular virtue in doing things the way they have always been d

39、one,” wrote Rudolph Flesch, a language authority, this accounts for our reaction to seemingly simple innovations like plastic garbage bags and suitcases on wheels that make life more convenient: “How come nobody thought of that before?”The creative approach begins with the proposition that nothing i

40、s as it appears. Innovators will not accept that there is only one way to do anything. Faced with getting from A to B, the average person will automatically set out on the best-known and apparently simplest route. The innovator will search for alternate courses, which may prove easier in the long ru

41、n and are bound to be more interesting and challenging even if they lead to dead ends. Highly creative individuals really do march to a different drummer.55. What does the author probably mean by “untaught mind” in the first paragraph?A. A person ignorant of the hard work involved in experimentation

42、. B. A citizen of a society that restricts personal creativity. C. A person who has had no education. D. An individual who often comes up with new ideas by accident.昆明理工大學(xué)2009年秋季入學(xué)博士研究生招生考試試題56. According to the author, what distinguishes innovators from non-innovators? A. The variety of ideas they

43、have. B. The intelligence they possess. C. The way they deal with problems. D. The way they present their findings.57. The author quotes Rudolph Flesch in Paragraph 3 because . A. Rudolph Flesch is the best-known expert in the study of human creativity B. the quotation strengthens the assertion that

44、 creative individuals look for new ways of doing things C. the reader is familiar with Rudolph Fleschs point of view D. the quotation adds a new idea to the information previously presented58. The phrase “march to a different drummer" (the last line of the passage) suggests that highly creative

45、 individuals are .A. diligent in pursuing their goalsB. reluctant to follow common ways of doing thingsC. devoted to the progress of scienceD. concerned about the advance of societyPassage 3The extent of a nations power over its coastal ecosystems and the natural resources in its coastal waters has

46、been defined by two international law doctrines: freedom of the Seas and adjacent state sovereignty. Until the mid-twentieth century, most nations favored application of broad open-seas freedoms and limited sovereign rights over coastal waters. A nation had the right to include within its territoria

47、l dominion only a very narrow band of coastal waters (generally extending three miles from the shoreline), within which it had the authority, but not the responsibility, to regulate all activities. But, because this area of territorial dominion was so limited, most nations did not establish rules fo

48、r management or protection of their territorial waters. Regardless of whether or not nations enforced regulations in their territorial waters, large ocean areas remained free of controls or restrictions. The citizens of all nations had the right to use these unrestricted ocean areas for any innocent

49、 purpose, including navigation and fishing. Except for controls over its own citizens, no nation had the responsibility to control such activities in international waters. And, since there were few standards of conduct that applied on the “open seas”, there were few jurisdictional conflicts between

50、nations. 昆明理工大學(xué)2009年秋季入學(xué)博士研究生招生考試試題The lack of standards is traceable to popular perceptions held before the middle of this century. By and large, marine pollution was not perceived as a significant problem, in part because the adverse effect of coastal activities on ocean ecosystems was not widely

51、recognized, and pollution caused by human activities was generally believed to be limited to that caused by navigation. Moreover, the freedom to fish, or overfish, was an essential element of the traditional legal doctrine of freedom of the seas that no maritime country wished to see limited. And fi

52、nally, the technology that later allowed exploitation of other ocean resources, such as oil, did not yet exist.To date, controlling pollution and regulating ocean resources have still not been comprehensively addressed by law, but two recent developments may actually lead to future international rul

53、es providing for ecosystem management. First, the establishment of extensive fishery zones, extending territorial authority as far as 200 miles out from a country's coast, has provided the opportunity for nations individually to manage larger ecosystems. This opportunity, combined with national

54、self-interest in maintaining fish populations, could lead nations to reevaluate policies for management of their fisheries and to address the problem of pollution in territorial waters. Second, the international community is beginning to understand the importance of preserving the resources and ecology of international waters and to show signs of accepting responsibility for doing so. Thus it will become more likely that international standards and policies for broader regulation of human activities that affect ocean ecosystems will be adopt
