今年的分数是真的很离谱!

前有国家线爆冷上涨,现在有复试分数线飙升400+,直接导致调剂的考生里,也有一大批高分考生:

这名单、这分数,谁看谁抓狂,文末再看看今年的考生都怎么说吧。

今天的题目和「葡萄酒」有关,先做题。

「每日一句第048句

The wine sector has been lobbying the government to KEEP the easement rules in place permanently, but Gareth Davies, the exchequer secretary to the Treasury, confirmed earlier this month that it would press ahead. This has prompted businesses such as Majestic Wine, which has more than 200 shops around the country, to speak out, saying it will mean higher prices and a huge administrative burden on sellers. “The minister demonstrated in this debate a worrying lack of understanding of our sector, suggesting that the alcohol duty system has become simpler and easier since Brexit,” said Colley. “That is simply not the case. In fact, the system in place pre-Brexit was much simpler to administer.”

思考题:

参考译文:这促使众多企业出来发声——包括在全英拥有200多家店铺的威严葡萄酒公司新规将意味着更高的价格,并给卖家带来巨大的行政负担。

第三句:

 “The minister demonstrated in this debate a worrying lack of understanding of our sector, suggesting that the alcohol duty system has become simpler and easier since Brexit,” said Colley. “That is simply not the case. In fact, the system in place pre-Brexit was much simpler to administer.”

参考译文:“部长在这场辩论中的表现,令人担忧地显示出他对酒行业缺乏了解。他暗示,酒精税制度自英国脱欧以来变得更加简易,”科利说,“事实并非如此。事实上,英国脱欧前的系统执行起来简便得多。”

A选项,文本提到葡萄酒行业想保留放宽规则,而不是因为财政部秘书拒绝延长规则

B选项,文本中确实提到行业认为脱欧前的系统更简单,但选项表述与文本意思不完全一致。文本主要是说行业想保留放宽规则因为它们比新的酒精税体系更易于管理

D选项,虽然文本提到Majestic Wine公司发言表示对新制度的担忧,但选项D将整个葡萄酒行业的意愿错误地简化为了一家公司的意愿

「文章背景

英国脱欧后的酒精税改革是一项复杂的政策。消费者可能由于政府坚持税改,而不得不随更高的红酒价格,一些红酒产品的价格可能会上涨40便士以上。葡萄酒行业对此次改革表现出深切的担忧,行业协会和企业代表表达了对新税收制度的不满和批评,认为这将给行业带来额外的行政负担。威严葡萄酒公司首席执行官约翰·科利表示,将于2025年2月生效的新酒类税制度“荒唐、昂贵,且不可持续”,将把葡萄酒的税级数量从1个增加到30个,令日常工作的复杂程度急剧增加。之前,英国政府承认企业将面临新的负担,引入了18个月的“缓和”期;行业协会希望缓和期规则能成为长期规则,但财政大臣近日在会议上表示,新的税收政策势在必行。

「KK有话说

在某平台随便一搜索,就能看到无数“吐槽”:

一些文学专业的考生被分数给刺激狠了,做出了这样一个“发泄式文档”,在网上广为流传:

哎,考研的竞争比预期的还要激烈,当千军万马都想通过这独木桥时,门槛自然被越拉越高。

一切安慰的话语都是苍白的,就用文档里某考生的一句话结尾吧:

“文学院可能会抛弃我,但文学永远不会。”

崎岖的道路也许真的通往旷野,祝愿各位都能拥有旷野般的人生。
