The future president and vice-president must receive at lea

3、st 270 electoral votes, a majority of the total of 538, to win. Members of the electoral college have the moral, but not the legal, obligation to vote for the candidate who won the popular vote in their state. This moral imperative, plus the fact that electors are members of the same political party

4、 as the presidential candidate winning the popular vote, ensures that the oute in the electoral college is a valid reflection of the popular vote in November. B It is even possible for someone to win the popular vote, yet lost the presidency to another candidate. How? It has to do with the electoral

5、 college. C The electoral college was created in response to a problem encountered during the Constitutional Convention of 1787, where delegates were trying to determine the best way to choose the president. The framers of the Constitution intended that the electors, a body of men chosen for their w

6、isdom, should e together and choose on behalf of the people. In fact, the swift rise of political parties guaranteed that the electoral of the people. In fact, the swift rise of political guaranteed that the electoral system never worked as the framers had intended; instead, national parties, i. e.

7、nationwide alliances of local interests, quickly came to dominate the election campaigns. The electors became mere figureheads representing the state branches of the parties who got them chosen, and their votes were predetermined and predictable. D How are the electors chosen? Although there is some

8、 variation among states in how electors are appointed, generally they are chosen by the popular vote, always on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. Each political party in a state chooses a state of local worthies to be members of the electoral college if the partys presidential ca

9、ndidate wins at least a plurality of the popular vote in the state. E How is the number of electors decided? Every state has one elector for each senator and representative it sends to Congress. States with greater populations therefore have more electors in the electoral college. All states have at

10、 least 3 electors, but California, the most populous state, has 54. The District of Columbia, though not a state, is also allowed to send three electors. F How can one win the popular vote yet lose the presidency? Lets simplify for the sake of argument: imagine that instead of 50 states America had

11、only two. California and Montana. Now suppose that candidate A wins in California by 9,000,500 votes to 9,000,400; the 100-vote margin still gives him 54 electors. But then candidate A loses in Montana by 201,000 to 205,000, candidate B gets Montanas electoral votes. The total number of votes for A

12、is 9,210,500 and for B, 9,205,400; yet A, with 54 electoral votes out of 57, wins the election! G Americas election day is 7 November. On the day citizens who wish to will cast their ballots for the presidential candidate they prefer. The result of this process is called the popular vote, and these

13、days the winner of the popular vote is usually known shortly after the polls close. However, not one of the votes cast on Election Day actually goes directly to a particular candidate. Order:G 41. 42. 43. 44. 45. 试题分析这篇文章共分7段，G段和F段已分别被定为篇首段与篇尾段。G段介绍了美国的大选日，并说每个投票的人都可以把票投给所喜欢的人，这叫普选。又说在普选中实际上没有一X票是直接

14、投向具体的候选人的。F段解释了为什么会出现假选人在普选中获胜却得不到总统职位的原因，并举了例子加以说明。从首尾两段可以看出这是一篇介绍美国总统选举的文章，其中解释了一些美国特有的选取举方法。 G段末尾说，在普选中，实际上没有一X票是直接投向具体候选人的。这必然后引起人们的好奇。B段如此继续讲了一个更惊人的情况：某候选人在普选中获胜，但总统宝座却让别人得去了。显然B段是G段的继续，所以B段排在G段后，是41题的答案。 B段说，How? It has to do with the electoral college. C段开头说，The electoral college was created

15、首尾呼应，表示C段应接在B段后，是42题的答案。 C段介绍了electoral college选举团的情况。成立选举团的初衷是：选出一些智囊人士，集中在一起组成选举团代表民意进展总统选举。实际上选举团从未像宪法制定者们希望的那样运作，他们被一些党派操纵，他们成了各州党派的代言人，他们的选票是预先定好了的。 E段进一步讲了选举团的人员构成情总，所以是C段的继续，应排在C段后，是43题的答案。 D段进一步进了选举团成员是怎么选出来的。他们是由在某州的普选中得票多的总统候选人所在的政党，在该州内挑选出的当地的杰出人换。显然D段应排在E段后，是44题的答案。 A段讲选举进展的具体情况，与选举中获胜当总

16、统的条件。F段以实便解释了为什么某候选人在普选中获胜却得不到总统职位的原因，也回答了B段提出的问题，足以说明A段在F段前，是45题的答案。答案41. B 42. C 43. E 44. D 45. A 考研英语段落排序题全真模拟练习二Directions: The following paragraphs are given in a wrong order.

17、 A-E to fill in each numbered box. The first and the last paragraphs have been placed for you in Boxes. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. A As anxiety-makers, examinations are second to none. That is because so much depends on them. They are the mark of success or failure in our society. Your who

18、le future may be decided in one fateful day. It doesnt matter that you werent feeling very well, or that your mother died. Little things like that dont count; the exam goes on. No one can give off his best when he is in mortal terror, or after a sleepless night, yet this is precisely what the examin

19、ation system expects him to do. B The results on which so much depends are often nothing more than a subjective assessment by some anonymous examiner. Examiners are only human. They get tired and hungry; they make mistakes. Yet they have to mark stacks of hastily scrawled scripts in a limited amount

20、 of time. They work under the same sort of pressure as the candidates. And their word carries weight. After a judges decision you have the right of appeal, but not after an examiners. C They lower the standards of teaching, for they deprive the teacher of all freedoms. Teachers themselves are often

21、judged by examination results and instead of teaching their subjects, they are reduced to training their students in exam techniques which they despise. The most successful candidates are not always the best educated; they are the best trained in the technique of working under duress. D The moment a

22、 child begins school, he enters a world of vicious petition where success and failure are clearly defined and measured. Can we wonder at the increasing number of drop-outs; young people who are written off as utter failures before they have even embarked on a career? Can we be surprised at the suici

23、de rate among students? E A good education should, among other things, train you to think for yourself. The examination system does anything but that. What has to be learnt is rigidly laid down by a syllabus, so the student is encouraged to memorize. Examinations do not motivate a student to read wi

24、dely, but to restrict his reading; they do not enable him to seek more and more knowledge, but induce cramming. F There must surely be many simpler and more effective ways of assessing a persons true abilities. Is it cynical to suggest that examinations are merely a profitable business for the insti

25、tutions that run them? This is what it boils down to in the last analysis. The best ment on the system is this illiterate message recently scrawled on a wall: “I were a teenage drop-out and now I am a teenage millionaire. G We might marvel at the progress made in every field of study, but the method

26、s of testing a persons knowledge and ability remain as primitive as ever they were. It really is extraordinary that after all these years educationists have still failed to device anything more efficient and reliable than examinations. For all the pious claim that examinations test what you know, it

27、 is mon knowledge that they more often do the exact opposite. They may be a good means of testing memory, or the knack of working rapidly under extreme pressure, but they can tell you nothing about a persons true ability and aptitude. Order:G 41. 42. 43. 44. 45. F 试题分析这篇文章共有7段落，其中G和F段已分别确定为篇首段和篇尾段。G

28、段说，对研究领域所取得的成果我们都可能发出赞叹，但是测试人的知识和能力的考试仍然像以往那样原始。令人不可理解的是经过了这么多年教育家们还没有找到更有效、更可靠的方法，仍然依赖考试。尽管有人声考试是为了测试你所学到的东西，但实际上人们都知道考试的结果适得其反。从G段可以看出作者对考试是否认态度的。F段说，要想测试一个人真正的能力肯定有更为简单、更为有效的方法。作者甚至认为考试机构举办考试只不过是为了赚钱罢了。根据首尾两段，可以看出本篇文章是谈论考试，并且作者是不喜欢这种测试形式的，了解了这两点对重新安排段落的次序很在帮助。 A段说，考试的最大作用就是制造焦虑，因此考试维系着许多重大事伯，有可能一

29、个人的未来就由几次考试来决定。不管你当时心情不好，或你的母亲刚刚去世，考试还是照旧进展。当一个人处于极度恐慌是经历了一个不眠之夜后，他是不可能发挥出最优水平的。这一段紧接G段，诉说考试的弊端，街接严密，所以A段是41题的答案。 A段指出了考试的弊端，下面一段有可能会继续陈述考试的坏处或缺点，从余下的4段中找到D段。其中说到，孩子们从踏进校门的那一刻起就陷入残酷的竞争。在这种竞争中，成功和失败界限清楚。对那些还没有开始自己的事业就被社会定为失败的人而辍学，你会感到惊讶吗？面对居高不下的学生自杀率你会吃惊吗？D段接着数落考试的弊病，所以42题的答案应当是D。 E段说，一种好的教育应该培养人们的独立

30、思考能力，而考试制度却不是培养学生去独立思考，大纲规定了学生要学的东西，并鼓励学生去死记硬背。考试限制了学生的阅读量，考试鼓励填鸭式教学。 C段说，他们降低了教育水准，因为他们剥夺了教师们的自由。因为学生的考试成绩也是评判教师教学效果的标准，所以教师不是教授课程，而是把教学简化成训练学生的考试技巧。结果最成功的应试者不是知识最丰富的人，而是被迫掌握考试技巧最为熟练的人。 E段与C段以讲教学为主，着墨在教师身上。很明显C段应排在E段之后，所以E段是43题的答案，C段是44题的答案。 B段讲，结果至关重要的考试只不过是某个匿名主考官的主观评价。主考官们也是人，他们会累、会饿，也会出错，但是他们必须

31、在规定的时间内判定写得乱糟糟的试卷。前面讲了考试、学生、教师，这段讲考试的主考官，最后一段又讲，相信有一种更简单、更有效的测试方法，所以很显然B段应该在F段之前，所以B段应该是45题的答案。 答案41. A 42. D 43. E 44. C 45.
