考研英语(一)新题型真题解析7选5(2012年)

Think of those fleeting moments when you look out of an aeroplane window and realise that you are flying，higher than a bird. Now think of your laptop，thinner than a brown-paper envelope，or your cellphone in the palm of your hand.Take a moment or two to wonder at those marvels.You are the lucky inheritor of a dream come true.

The second half of the 20th century saw a collection of geniuses，warriors，entre-preneurs and visionaries labour to create a fabulous machine that could function as a typewriter and printing press，studio and theatre，paintbrush and gallery，piano and ras dio，the mail as well as the mail carrier.(41)

The networked computer is an amazing device，the first media machine that serves as the mode of production，means of distribution，site of reception，and place of praise and critique.The computer is the 21st century's culture machine.

But for all the reasons there are to celebrate the computer，we must also act with caution.(42) I call it a secret war for two reasons. First，most people do not realize that there are strong commercial agendas at work to keep them in passive consumption mode.Second，the majority of people who use networked computers to upload are not even aware of the significance of what they are doing.

All animals download，but only a few upload.Beavers build dams and birds mak nests.Yet for the.most part，the animal kingdom moves through the world downloadine. Humans are unique in their capacity to not only make tools but then turn around and use them to create superfluous material goods-paintings，sculpture and architecture-ano superfluous experiences-music，literature，religion and philosophy(43)

For all the possibilities of our new culture machines，most people are still stuck indownload mode.Even after the advent of widespread social media，a pyramid of production remains，with a small number of people uploading material，a slightly larger group commenting on or modifying that content，and a huge percentage remaining content to just consume.(44)

Television is a one-way tap flowing into our homes.The hardest task that television asks of anyone is to turn the power off after he has turned it on.(45)

What counts as meaningful uploading? My definition revolves around the concept of"stickiness"-creations and experiences to which others adhere.

[A]Of course，it is precisely these superfluous things that define human cultureand ultimately what it is to be human.Downloading and consuming culture requires great skills，but failing to move beyond downloading is to strip oneself of a defining constituent of humanity.

[B]Applications like tumblr.com，which allow users to combine pictures，words and other media in creative ways and then share them，have the potential to add stickiness by amusing，entertaining and enlightening others.

[C]Not only did they develop such a device but by the turn of the millennium they had also managed to embed it in a worldwide system accessed by billions of people every day.

[D] This is because the networked computer has sparked a secret war hetween downloading and uploading-between passive consumption and active creation-whose outcome will shape our collective future in ways we can only begin to imagine.

[E] The challenge the computer mounts to television thus bears little similarity to one format being replaced by another in the manner of record players being replaced by CD players

[F] One reason for the persistence of this pyramid of production is that for the past half-century, much of the world's media culture has been defined by a single medium television-and television is defined by downloading.

[G]The networked computer offers the first chance in 50 years to reverse the flow, to encourage thoughtful downloading and, even more importantly, meaningful uploading.

参考译文

想想那些转瞬即逝的瞬间：当你望向飞机窗外，意识到自己正在飞翔，飞得比鸟还高。再想想你那比棕色纸质信封还薄的笔记本电脑，或者掌中的手机。花点时间想想这些奇迹，你会感到很吃惊。你是一个梦想成真的幸运后继者。

20世纪下半叶见证了一群天才、勇士、企业家和远见者努力创造一台绝妙的机器。这台机器可以用作打字机和印刷机，录音室和剧院，画笔和画廊，钢琴和收音机，甚至可以用作邮件和邮差。他们不仅研发出这样一台设备，还在千禧年之际成功加入了一套系统，每天全世界都有数十亿人登入这个系统。

互联网计算机是一台令人惊叹的设备，也是第一台媒体机器。它可以作为生产方式、分配方式、接收地点和赞扬与批判的场所。计算机是21世纪的文化机器。

尽管我们有许多理由来称赞计算机，但是我们也需要保持小心谨慎。这是因为互联网计算机在下载和上传、被动消费和主动创造之间发起了一场秘密战争。其引发的后果会以我们难以想象的方式改变未来。我称之为秘密战争有两个原因。第一，大多数人没有意识到强大的商业运作使他们处于被动消费模式。第二，大部分使用互联网计算机上传的人甚至没有意识到自己所做之事的重要性。

所有动物都会“下载”，但只有少数会“上传"。海狸建造堤坝，鸟类筑造巢穴。然而一般来说，动物王国在世界上多在“下载”。人类是独一无二的，他们不仅能够打造工具，并且能转而使用这些工具创造出大量物品材料——例如绘画、雕塑和建筑物;或创造出丰富的体验——例如音乐、文学、宗教和哲学。当然，正是这些丰富的事物定义了人类文化，最终定义了何为人类。下载和消费文化需要许多技能，但是如果不能超越下载，也就失去了人类组成部分这一界定。

对于我们新文化机器的发展潜力，大多数人停留在下载模式上。甚至在广泛传播的社交媒体出现后，生产金字塔体系仍然存在：一小部分人上传材料，稍微多一点的人发表评论或修改内容，而大部分人仍满足于消费。这种生产金字塔体系长久存在的一个原因是，在过去半个世纪，世界大部分媒介文化被一种媒体所界定——电视——而电视被下载所界定。

电视是涌入千家万户的单向管道。电视让我们最难以抉择的是在打开它之后将其关上。互联网计算机提供了50年来首次递转流向的机会。它不仅促进有想法的下载，更重要的是，促进了有意义的上传。

什么是有意义的上传?对此我的界定围绕着“吸引力”这个概念——即能吸引他人的创造和体验。

答案解析

41.答案[C]

解析

本题上句出现大量名词，如：that could function as...一句出现多个并列名词，该句是定语从句，修饰先行词a fabulous machine，因此我们只需把这个词看作关键词，其他词可以忽略。下句也有很多名词，重点抓主干：The networked computer is an amazing device.关键词为networked computer，amazing device，通过下句话对于networked computer的描述我们知道，该词很可能是第一次出现，故本空填入的句子很可能没有出现这个词。因而重点抓fabulous machine和amazing device两个词。7个选项中，出现了machine或device的选项只有[C]项such a device。故重点阅读该项。首先，该项develop such a device=上文create a fabulous machine;也与下文amazing device一词形成照应。此外，该项的worldwide system=下文networked。再者，该项的"by the turn of the millennium千禧年交接”与上文"the second half of the 20th century 20世纪下半叶(即1950-1999)"形成时间顺序的照应。综上，本题选择[C]。

42.答案[D]

解析

本空上句关键词为the reasons;下句关键词为secret war。其中，secret war更加重要。下文说：I call it a secret war for two reasons.根据字面推断，很可能上文出现过secret war一词，因此在选项中应该重点寻找该词。所有选项中，出现secret war的只有[D]项。该项This is because... 与上文the reasons照应;secret war是原词复现;passive consumption也是原词复现。根据这些线索可以确定[D]为正确答案。

43.答案[A]

解析

上文关键词为：superfluous material goods、superfluous experiences，其余都是补充说明这两个短语的细节名词，一般不会重复出现，故以这两个词为线索。下句关键词为：new culture machines，download mode。我们按顺序浏览选项就会发现[A]出现了superfluous一词，其余选项再也没有出现。[A]项these superfluous things显然指代上文superluous material goods和superluous experiences并且该项后半句出现downloading、culure等词，与下一句的culture，download等词是原词复现关系，故可以确定本题答案为[A]。

44.答案[F]

解析

上文关键词为：social media、pyramid of production。下文关键词为;television。下文突然出现television一词，说明该句可能出现了这个词。如果以television一词为线索，我们会在[E][F]两项找到这个词。对比之下会发现，[E]项除了television再无复现任何关键信息，而[F]项出现了一个极其关键的词：this pyramid of production，this这个代词说明上文一定会出现pyramid of production，而该空上一句恰恰有这个词;此外，[F]项还复现了media一词。根据这些复现信息我们可以判断本题答案为[F]。

45.答案[G]

解析

本题上句关键词为television;下句关键词为meaningful uploading。下文突然问道"What counts as meaningful uploading?什么才算是有意义的下载?"根据语义我们知道，上文很可能出现过meaningful uploading一词，故本题应该以该词为线索。我们发现，选项[G]最后两个词为meaningful uploading，其余各项再无出现该词，从出现的位置判断，与该空下句是十分吻合的。并且，[G]项中出现了reverse the flow一词，而上文刚好提到one-way tap flowing，这也是重要复现线索。故可以断定该题答案为[G]。
