研究生英语学位课统考真题及模拟题精解(GET 2015-2016)试读：
前言
北京市高等教育学会研究生英语教学研究分会自1988年开始组织北京地区研究生英语学位课统考以来，现已有京内外许多院校参加统考，还有部分院校的博士生英语学位课考试也采用了此试题。为了帮助广大考生了解北京地区研究生英语学位课统考，提高考试成绩，顺利通过考试，我们现将2015—2016年的4套统考真题公开发表并附以精解，同时我们特意编写了两套模拟题供同学们演练。
本书包括三个部分：（一）2015—2016年北京地区研究生英语学位课统考真题和模拟题；（二）统考真题和模拟题答案及录音文字稿；（三）统考真题和模拟题精解。
与考研试题不同，统考题的考查重点是基础知识，强调主动使用英语的能力。词汇部分以常见词为主，考查的重点项目是国外流行而本国学生不熟悉的用法、使用时容易出错的词、经常在国内被错误理解的用法和近年流行的用法。翻译部分考查的重点是语法和句型的使用，而写作部分则围绕研究生学习和生活。建议同学们尽量避免使用范文或套句，否则会扣分。仅仅善于阅读的同学不一定能取得好成绩。建议同学们在日常阅读时学会观察，注意知识的积累，提高表达能力。
由于篇幅有限，统考真题和模拟题中涉及的用法不能详细解释。要了解更多相关用法，可参考中国人民大学出版社出版的《研究生英语学位课统考知识要点精解》。该书讲解的内容往往是考试的重点。
本书的编审人员多为北京市研究生英语教学研究会学位课统考命题和审题的组织者与参加者，他们都是有多年研究生英语教学和测试经验的专家与教授。本书的编写还得到了北京市研究生英语教学研究会常务理事会及参加命题和审题的其他成员的大力支持和帮助，在此向他们表示衷心的感谢。
本书不足之处在所难免，我们衷心希望广大师生和其他读者批评指正。编者2016年6月

Small business owners can sometimes feel like it’s adog-eat-dog world out there.If you fall behind,even 41 ,a more tech-shrewd business with greater resources could appear from nowhere and take your customers.But competition among businesses does not 42 mean war. 43 viewing other companies only as competitors,business owners should look at them as potential collaborators.Collaboration is 44 to every business,as there are so many opportunities out there for businesses to work together to exchange ideas and increase purchasing 45 .

Directions:In this part of the test,there are five short passages.Read each passage carefully,and then do the questions that follow.Choose the best answer from the four choices given and mark the corresponding letter with asingle bar across the square brackets on your machine-scored Answer Sheet.Passage One
Hospitals are packed full of valuable information about patients,but doctors often struggle to use it effectively.A London-based start-up wants to change all that with anew suite of iPad apps called Medopad.
The idea is to link up every data-making system and machine in ahospital to acentral service which can deliver the collection of apatient’s records—from historical medical files to X-ray and scans—at the touch of adoctor’s iPad.
A number of Medopad APPs help doctors utilize this data.For example,one app broadcasts the readings from apatient’s heart monitor to their doctor’s iPad screen,so acheck-up can be carried out from anywhere in the hospital building.Another app uses voice-recognition to let doctors create written notes on patients just by speaking.
For BMI Healthcare,Medopad could be about to transform how their doctors work.BMI has been piloting the software and testing integration with its hospitals’existing databases and is now deciding whether to roll it out for use with actual patients.“It’s intuitive,and it kind of works the way doctors think,”says group medical director,Mark Ferreira.
With Medopad in place,doctors will be able to refer cases to one another for asecond opinion from within the app suite.Photos of apatient’s visible symptoms can be taken using an iPad and shared,for example.Another Medopad app features integration with the Google Glass headset,which allows up to five clinicians to collaborate in real time,take pictures and share them,and access apatient’s records simultaneously.A pathology app can even do some analytical work for doctors,with abnormal blood-test results flagged automatically.
The system has anumber of security features.For example,it can be set up so that when adoctor’s device physically leaves the hospital network,patient data will no longer be available on it.
Doctors and patients alike should benefit from this kind of system,says Stevan Wing,who co-hosts apodcast on medical apps called The Digital Doctor.“If you increase the doctor’s information as well as their ability to share it with patients and make joint decisions,then Ithink the quality of care must improve,”he says.
Charles Lowe,president of the Telemedicine and eHealth section at the Royal Society of Medicine in London,has been following Medopad’s progress.“It’s going to speed up treatment,”he says.
51.As used in this passage,the word“app”probably means.
A.an advertisement about medical facilities
B.a mobile phone with special functions
C.a website that supplies medical data
D.a computer program or apiece of software
52.The biggest advantage of Medopad lies in.
A.improving access to the Internet
B.reducing the medical cost at ahospital
C.effective use of information on patients
D.quick exchange of data between hospitals
53.It can be concluded from Paragraph4that BMI Healthcare.
A.has started to use Medopad clinically
B.is using Medopad on atrial basis
C.has changed the way doctors work
D.knows what each doctor thinks via Medopad
54.As said in Paragraph5,Medopad can help doctors to do the following EXCEPT.
A.to test the blood of patients for abnormalities
B.to take and share photos of patients’symptoms
C.to use apatient’s information at the same time
D.to ask for the opinion from another doctor
55.The last two paragraphs suggest that doctors are likely to Medopad.
A.welcome
B.fear
C.oppose
D.improve
56.The central idea of this passage is that.
A.iPads will replace doctors in future healthcare

D.Medopad will be of financial benefit to patientsPassage Two
In 1919 the Hotel Pennsylvania,in New York,opened its first restaurant,with offerings notable for their descriptive simplicity:“lamb,”“potatoes:boiled,”and so on.Nearly100years later,the Statler Grill,one of the hotel’s current restaurants,offers updated takes,from a“lollipop Colorado lamb chop”to“buttered mashed potatoes.”
You needn’t be alinguist to note changes in the language of menus,but Stanford’s Dan Jurafsky has written abook doing just that.In The Language of Food:A Linguist Reads the Menu,Jurafsky describes how he and some colleagues analyzed adatabase of6,500restaurant menus describing650,000dishes from across the U.S.Among their findings:fancy restaurants,not surprisingly,use fancier—and longer—words than cheaper restaurants do.Jurafsky writes that“Every increase of one letter in the average length of words describing adish is associated with an increase of69cents in the price of that dish.”
Lower-priced restaurants,meanwhile,rely on“linguistic fillers”:subjective words like delicious,unique,and soft.These are the empty calories of menus,less indicative of flavor than of low prices.Cheaper establishments also use terms like ripe and fresh,which Jurafsky calls“status anxiety”words.Thomas Keller’s Per Se,after all,would never use fresh—that much is taken for granted—but Subway would.Per Se does,however,engage in the trendy habit of adding provenance to descriptions of ingredients(Island Creek oysters,Frog Hollow’s peaches).According to Jurafsky,very expensive restaurants“mention the origins of the food more than15times as often as inexpensive restaurants.”
Already,provenance-oriented menu language is spreading outward from the finer restaurants to the Subways and Applebee’s of the world.The first business to take provenance seriously was Chipotle,says the food developer Barb Stuckey.(“They’ve always menued Niman Ranch pork.”)
In turn,high-end food supplier may head in adifferent direction.“As this stuff trickles down,the rich need away to be different again,”says Jurafsky,who notes the flourishing menu trend of extreme minimalism,seen at the Michelin-starred San Francisco spot Saison,where the set price starts at$248and the menu comes after the meal,as asouvenir.In some ways,this is“a return to200years ago,when you’d say,‘Give me dinner,’and they’d just give you what they’d cooked,”Jurafsky says.
57.What does Dan Jurafsky find out about the language of menus?
A.More expensive restaurants tend to use simple words in their menus.
B.Cheaper restaurants tend to use longer words in their menus.
C.The longer the words in the menu,the more expensive the dishes.
D.The shorter the words in the menu,the more expensive the dishes.
58.What does Dan Jurafsky think of the words like“delicious”and“fresh”in the menu?
A.They indicate high quality of the food.
B.They are hollow words of little value.
C.They are more than necessary in the menu.
D.They will be out of fashion sooner or later.
59.The underlined word“provenance”(Para.3)probably refers to.
A.the calorie count of the food
B.the special flavor of the food
C.the source of the food
D.the way the food is made
60.Which of the following is probably the most expensive restaurant?
A.Subway.
B.Per Se.
C.Chipotle.
D.Applebee.
61.As stated in the last paragraph,the latest menu trend is.
A.simplicity
B.creativity
C.practicality
D.extravagance
62.What is the major topic of the passage?
A.A comparison of various menus.
B.The messages hidden in amenu.
C.Dish price and menu trend.
D.The evolution of menu language.Passage Three
It is impossible to confidently predict what will happen should Scotland decide to declare independence.But some factors will come into play.
The first is an unavoidable fact of life:we are all getting older.Developed nations are set to struggle with the effects of an ageing population over the next50years,but population projections suggest the impact will be felt even harder in Scotland.The problem for Scotland is that its under-65population will shrink while its over-65s increase,putting big pressure on public finances.
The Scottish government says independence will allow the nation to pursue avery different immigration strategy to the rest of the UK.But if working-age migrants don’t come as hoped,Scotland will find it more difficult to support its ageing population.Things get worse when North Sea oil and gas are taken into account.“Oil revenues will almost certainly fall over the longer term,”says David Phillips at the IFS.“If it takes decades,that would give Scotland time to adjust,although it would still involve some potentially painful choices.”
Addressing the shortfall in revenues will mean higher taxes or afall in the living standards—something Scotland can ill afford:life expectancy is already2.3years lower for Scottish men than those in the rest of the UK.The difference is particularly striking in Glasgow.“Health is Scotland’s Achilles’heel,”says Gerry McCartney of NHS Scotland.And it’s arelatively recent phenomenon.
The Scottish government says avote for independence will reduce inequality.But astudy suggests that new Scottish powers to increase taxes or benefits may have little effect.That’s because small nations can find it difficult to implement radically different policies to their larger neighbors:people can simply decide to cross the border in search of lower taxes,for example.This is particularly problematic when it comes to funding pensions,which depend on athriving workforce.“Raising tax rates to provide pensions could be aself-defeating policy if it leads to mass departure of workers,”says Comerford.
The voting age for the Scottish referendum has been lowered to16from the normal UK voting age of18,to let teenagers have asay in their country’s future.If independence goes wrong,a youthful yes vote could prove abig mistake.
