2022年考博英语-中国艺术研究院考试题库及全真模拟冲刺卷（含答案带详解）1. 翻译题An unremarked consequence of our new information age—one that will influence readers, writers, and publishers in the future—is that bad writing, chat speak, text, millions of message board posts that come from and lead nowhere, are having a cheapening effect on all written content. Editors and news directors today fret about the Internet as their predecessors worried about radio and TV, and all now see the huge threat the Web represents to the way they distribute their product.The idea that the practice and craft of writing can simply retool itself for the digital age overlooks the fact that the Web is giving rise to totally unique forms of expression, a writing that is different from the kind traditionally found in books.For lovers of literary writing, who are now watching the marketplace and Internet erode the remains of nineteenth-century print culture, these assurances may not be particularly consoling. We have no choice but to accept them. Arguing against the forces of digitalization is as much a losing battle as cursing the coming of the evening tide.But before we invest ourselves too deeply in this future, consider this: If new technologies expose the biases inherent in print and text, so the converse is true as well. Coding skills are highly marketable in the twenty-first century. We, as a civilization, are duty-bound to encourage technological know-how.However, before we make the mistake of convincing ourselves that a knack for writing software is more valuable than the ability to simply write well, we might consider looking anew at the souvenir that is the book. One day, computer programs—these objects of our fascination and frustration—will learn to write themselves. And we’ll be left with our ideas, however grand or shallow.【答案】信息新时代有一个不太会引人注意的后果，那就是蹩脚的写作。

闲聊也好，文本也好，还有留言板上不计其数的跟帖都来无踪去无影，使文字内容大打折扣，对未来的读者、作者和编辑都将产生很大影响今天的编辑和新闻主管为因特网而苦恼不已，恰如其前辈们担心收音机和电视那样（会抢他们的饭碗）他们都认为网络形成的巨大威胁会影响自己产品的销路有一种观念认为，写作练习及技巧完全可重振写作，以适应数字时代这种观点忽视了这样一种事实：网络正在引发一些非常独特的表达形式，这种写作完全不同于常见的传统书本模式对喜爱文学写作、正目睹图书市场和因特网侵蚀十九世纪印刷文化残余的人而言，这些断言可能并不怎么令人宽慰但除了接受，我们别无选择与数字化势力抗辩无疑是一场必败之仗，就如同诅咒晚潮的到来一样徒劳但在尚未过深卷入前，我们不妨考虑一下：如果说新技术暴露了印刷和文本的固有偏见，那么反过来也可以说，书面文字极其适合揭示数字时代的短视编码技术在21世纪极为畅销随着文明的发展，我们应义不容辞地鼓励掌握技术诀窍然而，要是以为编写软件的诀窍比流畅写作的能力更有价值，那就错了在尚未犯错之前，我们或许有必要重新审视一下历史的纪念品——书籍有朝一日，电脑编程这一既让人着迷又令人失望的东西将学会自己编程。

而我们的思想会被弃之一旁——宏观高论也好，肤浅短见也罢2. 单选题They are bound to fail if they continue at the risk of all these dangers.问题1选项A.are unnecessaryB.are certainC.are simpleD.are alternative【答案】B【解析】考查词义辨析根据句意：如果他们继续冒着所有这些危险，他们……会失败这里表示的是肯定的说法，be bound to意为“肯定，必然”A选项are unnecessary“不必要的”；B选项are certain“必然的，确信的”；C选项are simple“简单的，单纯的”；D选项are alternative“供选择的”选项B符合语境3. 单选题Presidents come and go, but for more than half a century, the queen has always been the queen. So it was perhaps no surprise that Washington went a little gaga Monday, as Queen Elizabeth II and her husband, Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, began an official two-day visit to the capital.Across the Atlantic, Helen Mirren, who won an Academy Award for her portrayal of Elizabeth in “The Queen,” shocked the British conscience over the weekend by turning down an invitation to dine at Buckingham Palace. But on the other side of the Atlantic, the queen was making Americans go weak in the knees.The White House was decorated to perfection for an exclusive white-tie dinner on Monday evening, with President George W. Bush and the first lady, Laura Bush, playing host to the royal couple and 130 other A-list guests. But the morning was reserved for the masses — or, at least, the masses with the kind of connections that warrant an invitation to the formal arrival ceremony on the South Lawn.It was a day for pomp and circumstance — a military color guard, a fife and drum band in white wigs, red jackets and tri-cornered hats — punctuated by a presidential slip of the tongue that lightened the moment during Mr. Bush's welcoming remarks. Mr. Bush reminded the 81-year-old queen that she had already dined with 10 American presidents.“You helped our nation celebrate its bicentennial in 17 —” he went on, stopping to correct himself before 1776 could slip out. The crowd erupted in laughter, and the president and the queen turned to each other for a long, silent gaze. Then, Mr. Bush turned back to the crowd with an explanation. “She gave me a look,” he said, “that only a mother could give a child.”Mr. Bush had been the recipient of such a look once before in the queen’s presence — from his own mother, back in 1991, when the first President and Mrs. Bush played host to their own state dinner for the queen. By several different accounts, including Mr. Bush’s own, Barbara Bush told the queen that she had seated her son far away from Her Majesty, for fear he might make a wisecrack.Then, to his mother’s horror, he did, telling the queen that he was his family’s blacksheep a。
