2014年江苏大学招收硕士研究生入学考试大纲－基础英语考研大纲
s is more than a little hurtful. It's like being the spotty, socially challenged nerd who has a crush on the prom queen.
(3)Evidence suggesting Obama's heart belongs elsewhere is plentiful. Gordon Brown's suit was callously repelled at the Pittsburgh G20 summit, when the object of his desire refused a private meeting. Suave Nicolas Sarkozy, the most Atlanticist of French presidents, has been frustrated, too. Instead of an entente cordiale of mutual admiration, he has faced awkward questions about Afghanistan troop levels, Turkey-phobia, and the French nuclear arsenal.
Policy differences between the US and the EU abound. (4)On climate change, the chief topic of tomorrow's summit, Washington believes the Europeans have raised unrealistic expectations of a global treaty to replace the Kyoto protocol. (5)The best that can be hoped for in Copenhagen next month, it is suggested, is a voluntary deal to cut emissions.
(6)East Europeans are still smarting over Obama's decision to modify missile defence plans that the Russians found objectionable – which they interpreted as a weakening of US commitment. (7)Washington, for its part, continues to be dismayed by perceived EU flakiness over threatening problems on its own doorstep.
"Europe is still not up to resolving its own security problems," said Edward Joseph of Johns Hopkins university, writing in Foreign Policy. "(8)Brussels is indifferent at best, and divided at worst, when it comes to pressing issues in the Balkans. Five EU states still do not recognise Kosovo. The EU lacks a viable policy towards Bosnia." EU blocking of Turkish membership attracts similar criticism.
Speaking generally, European governments have been disappointed by Obama's backtracking on Israeli settlement expansion. (9)They feel sidelined by Washington's interminable Afghan strategy debate, notwithstanding the presence of 35,000 European troops. (10)And on vexed issues such as global human rights, significant differences remain. All of which appears to strain Obama's patience.

Part V Reading Comprehension A (40 points)
Passage One
In 1892 the Sierra Club was formed. In 1908 an area of coastal redwood trees north of San Francisco was established as Muir Woods National Monument. In the Sierra Nevada mountains, a walking trail from Yosemite Valley to Mount Whitney was dedicated in 1938. It is called John Muir Trail.
John Muir was born in 1838 in Scotland. His family name means moor, which is a meadow full of flowers and animals. John loved nature from the time he was small. He also liked to climb rocky cliffs and walls.
When John was eleven, his family moved to the United States and settled in Wisconsin. John was good with tools and soon became an inventor. He first invented a model of a sawmill. Later he invented an alarm clock that would cause the sleeping person to be tipped out of bed when the timer sounded.
Muir left home at an early age. He took a thousand-mile walk south to the Gulf of Mexico in 1867and 1868. Then he sailed for San Francisco. The city was too noisy and crowded for Muir, so he headed inland for the Sierra Nevadas.
When Muir discovered the Yosemite Valley in the Sierra Nevadas, it was as if he had come home. He loved the mountains, the wildlife, and the trees. He climbed the mountains and even climbed trees during thunderstorms in order to get closer to the wind. He put forth the theory in the late 1860's that the Yosemite Valley had been formed through the action of glaciers. People ridiculed him. Not until 1930 was Muir's theory proven correct.
Muir began to write articles about the Yosemite Valley to tell readers about its beauty. His writing also warned people that Yosemite was in danger from timber mining and sheep ranching interests. In 1901 Theodore Roosevelt became president of the United States. He was interested in conservation. Muir took the president through Yosemite, and Roosevelt helped get legislation passed to create Yosemite National Park in 1906.
Although Muir won many conservation battles, he lost a major one. He fought to save the Hetch Valley, which people wanted to dam in order to provide water for San Francisco. In the late 1913 a bill was signed to dam the valley. Muir died in 1914. Some people say losing the fight to protect the valley killed Muir.
