武汉大学 2017 级博士研究生英语课程试题 说明： 1. 所有答案均写在答题纸上。 2. 用汉语正楷写清自己的姓名、学号、所在院系及任课教师。 3. 考试时间为 120 分钟。 Part I Documental Analysis 30% Attention: Analyze the following paragraphs and fill in the blanks according to the requirements. Paragraph One 20%: Our second major discovery was that the Information Marketplace will dramatically affect people and organizations on a wide scale. Besides its many uses in commerce, office work, and manufacturing it will also improve health care, provide new ways to shop, enable professional and social encounters across the globe, and generally permeate the thousands of things we do in the course of our daily lives. It will help us pursue old and new pleasures, and it will encourage new art forms, which may be criticized but will move art forward, as new tools have always done. It will also improve education and training first in specific and established ways and later through breakthroughs that are confidently awaited. Human organizations from tiny companies to entire national governments will benefit too, because so much of the work they do is information work. Paragraph Two 10% : Democracy will spread, as will peoples knowledge of one anothers beliefs, wishes, and problems. The voiceless millions of the world will come to be heard and be better understood, provided that the wealthy nations help the less wealthy ones enter the Information Club. Part II Article Analysis 15% Attention: Read the following article and fill in the chart according to the requirements based on your understanding. Our world craves constant attention and engagement. Our social media accounts beckon us forward like a drug, grasping us at the core. We become so obsessed with constantly connecting and engaging with others that we lose sight of something crucial to our happiness: our inner voice. In the constant flurry of activity and likes and selfies, we can no longer see ourselves. We become vessels craving attention and instant gratification. Thus, for many of us, the inner voices are silenced, and we dont let our worlds get quiet enough for us to hear them. Im not saying all social media is bad or that we should all give up on the society weve created. The beauty of our world is that it is, in many ways, simultaneously smaller and much larger than we could have ever dreamed. We have the benefit of connection, not just in our own communities, but across the world. We can engage in meaningful interactions with people we would never have the chance of knowing. I am a huge proponent of social media and of chasing dreams. Im a believer in the power of technology. Still, our world is flying forward at a pace that is exhausting in a soul-defining kind of way. We become so wrapped up in growth and the loud noise of tomorrow that we often forget to take a moment and just breathe. There is an addictive quality that sometimes gets the best of even the most self-aware. Its no wonder so many of us stumble through our lives feeling drained and lost. Its no wonder that so many of us are missing out on the simple, beautiful moments of the present. Its no wonder so few of us actually know who we are and what we want in life. So how do we overcome this noise in our lives and reconnect with our inner voice? Do we abandon societys progress and values? I think, like so many things in life, it is about balance. This balance, though, isnt easy to find. It takes a concerted effort to remind ourselves to step away, to step back, and to relish in the quiet moments. These quiet moments come in all forms, but they have one thing in common. These moments remind us what truly brings joy and purpose to our lives. They remind us to live the life we have today, and to focus on the beauty around us in the present. They remind us there is so much to be thankful for and that life is a journey we need to appreciate every step of the way. They remind us there is a world beyond the computer and beyond the hectic chaos of our fast-paced world. Most of all, let the quiet moments in life remind you that your inner voice deserves to be heard. Part III Writing 25% Attention: Generally, Chinese students find it difficult to master English for the sake of thinking. They often speak Chinglish and write in Chinglish. Make an analysis based on your class experience and your understanding of different pattern of thinking between Chinese and English.
