2008年考研英語模擬試題一及答案解析

　　對(duì)現(xiàn)狀失望而有事業(yè)心的女性往往選擇到外企工作。由于大多數(shù)男生傾向于到有保障的公司工作，外企經(jīng)常愿意雇傭女生，因?yàn)樗齻兊臐摿Ρ饶猩�更大�?/P>

　　男性為什么有時(shí)候會(huì)從公司辭職

　　盡管前途似錦，有些男性還是會(huì)從公司辭職。一個(gè)原因就是接管家族生意。當(dāng)父母退休時(shí)，長(zhǎng)子通常會(huì)接管家族公司或生意，例如店鋪。所以，一個(gè)商人在繼承父母生意時(shí)完全改變他的職業(yè)方向，例如成為了一個(gè)店主，這是很常見的。

　　工作中的人際關(guān)系會(huì)比較密切，因?yàn)樗麄児餐�工作的時(shí)間和年份都很長(zhǎng)。實(shí)際上，一個(gè)人的社交經(jīng)常是基于工作上的關(guān)系。飯店和酒家晚上總是擠滿了與同事一起歡聚的人們。許多公司為職員組織旅游和體育活動(dòng)。年長(zhǎng)的職員經(jīng)常扮演導(dǎo)師的角色。這意味著他們會(huì)對(duì)年輕員工的生活給予指導(dǎo)，例如結(jié)婚和孩子的教育。

　　Part C

　　46.在這一意義上，財(cái)富并不是錢財(cái)，因?yàn)槲覀兊纳�存并不依賴于錢而是依賴于錢所能購(gòu)買的東西：諸如食品、衣服的物品和諸如交通、娛樂的服務(wù)。

　　47.世界上有些地區(qū)蘊(yùn)藏著豐富的煤炭和礦產(chǎn)資源，有肥沃的土地和宜人的氣候；而其他一些地區(qū)卻一無所有。

　　48.有些國(guó)家自然資源可能很豐富，但卻多年以來飽受內(nèi)外戰(zhàn)的困擾，并且因?yàn)檫@個(gè)或那個(gè)的原因不能發(fā)展本國(guó)資源。

　　49.一個(gè)國(guó)家的生活水準(zhǔn)，不僅取決于它在本國(guó)內(nèi)生產(chǎn)和消費(fèi)的財(cái)富，還取決于它通過國(guó)際貿(mào)易間接生產(chǎn)的財(cái)富。

　　50.因此，一個(gè)國(guó)家的財(cái)富在很大程度上受到它的生產(chǎn)能力的影響，如果有其他國(guó)家愿意接受它的產(chǎn)品的話。

　　Part A

　　Dear Sir/Madam，

　　One month ago， I bought a new color TV set made in Guangdong from your store at the recommendation of your salesman. But now I'm afraid I have to complain of its poor quality. First， the picture does not appear clear at all. Second， come channel buttons do not work well. What's more， sometimes there is even no sound and the color is not stable. So， you see， instead of getting enjoyment， we've got trouble and inconveniences from this TV set.

　　I am a constant customer of your store and appreciate your slogan “Customer First， Service Best” very much. I really wish what has happened was accidental and I want to have this set repaired or changed. If not， I'd rather have my money back.
　　I'm looking forward to an early and satisfactory reply from you.

　　Yours sincerely，

　　Li Ming

　　As is vividly demonstrated in the drawing above， facing so many major options， a student is at a complete loss what to do， which is a most typical phenomenon among students. The meaning conveyed in the drawing is most thought-provoking.

　　The implied meaning of the drawing above can be briefly stated as follows. To begin with， the over-emphasis of importance of majors by students should not be ignored. Some students reckon that their majors will decide the success or failure of their whole lives. Because of their dissatisfaction with their majors， some students lose their interest in study. And some of them even go to extreme and commit suicide. It is our top priority to reverse the grim situation. What's more， in terms of making major choices， to follow suit must be avoided. As we know， different people are needed to play different roles in our social work. It is out of the question that all the people pick up the same major and do the same work. Personal character， interest， and merit must be fully evaluated and seriously considered when students make their final decision on their majors. In sum， students must keep calm and have an objective attitude toward their majors.

　　Take myself as an example. I am from a small mountainous village from the West. The ambition has already taken roots in my mind that I will make use of my knowledge to help the farmers in my home-village shake off poverty. And I took an interest in plants when I was a child. All things considered， I chose agronomy as my major. I do reckon that I have a bright prospect if I stick to the major I choose.
