2017考研已经拉开序幕，很多考生不知道如何选择适合自己的考研复习资料。中公考研辅导老师为考生准备了考研英语方面的建议，希望可以助考生一臂之力。同时中公考研特为广大学子推出考研集训营、专业课辅导、精品网课、vip1对1等课程，针对每一个科目要点进行深入的指导分析，欢迎各位考生了解咨询。
考研英语阅读的复习要讲究方法和技巧，也要避免犯一些常识性的错误。中公考研总结了考研英语阅读做题的三大坏习惯，希望2017年考生可以克服它们，高效复习。
第一，不忠于原文，主观选择答案。
尤其对比较熟悉的题材或有个人习惯看法的问题往往容易以自己的主观看法代替作者的观点。阅读理解的各选项间干扰性很大，许多答案都有其合理的一面，但不是作者在文中要表达的观点，不是最确切的答案。所以我们必须仔细推敲，将原文的真正含义理解透彻，用原文要表达的意思对照四个选项，选出最切合原文句意的答案。如果对原文中心思想把握的不到位，跟着感觉走，想当然的选择答案，就会被错误选项蒙蔽。对某一题材的熟悉有助于理解文章的内容，但也会出现误导答案的选择。
第二，问题简单化，粗心以及一些不良的阅读习惯。
研究生的阅读题比六级要难一些，一般情况下文章的中心思想比较隐含，不会放在每段的第一句，答案不会在文章中直接给出。所以我们通过阅读，除了理解文章的字面意思外，更要对一些没有被文
字表达出来的信息，通过作者的观点，自己已有的经验，知识做出合乎逻辑的推断。做题时要注意文章中的一些关键词，这些关键词在理解作者的态度和选择答案方面有非常重要的作用。
这些关键词包括一些重要信息的转折词，如but,yet,although,however等，这可以让我们了解到作者要转换话题或否定已述内容。表示举例的有such as,for instanse。表示目的的有to this end ,for this purpose,with this object。另一些词如as a result,finally,in conclusion则表示作者对自己所述的事情要做一概括并准备结束所谈及的问题。
一些同学做题注意力不集中，做题速度慢，还有做阅读题读出声，一字一字读，碰到不懂的单词查词典的习惯，这是很不好的。考研时间是非常紧的，要在有限时间内做完所有题就需要平时多锻炼。平时做题在保证正确率的前提下要注意提高阅读速度。阅读时碰到不认识的单词可以通过构词法，根据上下文意思或该词的同位语推测，不要经常查词典，做阅读题是培养语感，巩固词汇的过程，不是积累词汇的过程。
做题查词典一是浪费时间，不利提高阅读能力，二这也不是背单词的好办法。由于阅读题材广泛，体裁多样，所以在平时的训练中要广泛阅读，尽可能地接触各种文章，不要受自己兴趣爱好影响，对那些自己平时不感兴趣或觉得较难的文章更应该多训练，为考试做准备。
考研有很多句子偏长，修饰语多，分隔现象严重，词义隐晦令人费解。分隔现象增多破坏句子连贯性，修饰成分多则造成理解困难，降低阅读速度。这种长句平时也要多多锻炼的。可以先弄清句子的基本成分，再弄清句子中的各修饰成分在句中作用以及各成分间的相互关系，然后根据上下文理解句子意思。考试时是没有时间这样一二三去分析的，平时这样锻炼可培养习惯思维，考试时速度自然而然就快了。
第三，做完题缺少检查。
对感觉把握不大或较难的试题，尤其是概括归纳题，作者意图题等在做完后要根据全文和问题的答案，看是否有矛盾，是否符合逻辑。一些细节题，推测题，判断题要在文章相关段落中找到根据，以做到确保无误。在平时的训练中，要总结适合自己的方法，发现缺点及时纠正并在下次做题中避免发生类似错误。
在紧张的复习中，中公考研提醒您一定要充分利用备考资料和真题，并且持之以恒，最后一定可以赢得胜利。更多考研英语复习资料欢迎关注中公考研网。

（Ⅰ） 【2016·新课标全国卷I】 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Secret codes (密码) keep messages private. Bank, companies, and government agencies use secret code in doing business, especially when information is sent by computer. People have used secret codes for thousands of years. 36 Code breaking never lags (落后) behind code making. The science of decoding and reading coded messages is called cryptography. There are three main types of cryptography. 37 For example, the first letters a re “My elephant eats too many eels” spell out the hidden message “Meet me.” 38 You might represent each letter with a number, for example, let’s number the letters of the alphabet, in order, from 1 to 26. If we substitute a number for each letter, th e message “Meet me” would read “1 3 5 20 13 5”. A code uses symbols to replace words, phrases, or sentences. To read the message of a real code, you must have a code book. 39 For example, “bridge” might stand for “meet” and “out” might stand for “me”.The message “bridge out” would actually mean “Meet me”. 40 However, it

2017年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试（全国卷Ⅲ） 英语答案解析 第一部分:阅读理解 第一节 1.【答案】A 【解析】题干问的是三月份可参加的旅行，而第一个项目San Francisco Winery Tour的时间是从2月1日到4月30日。故选A。 【考点】冠词，细节理解。 2.【答案】C 【解析】第二个项目Back to the Fifties Tour中提到在San Francisco你能免费品尝冰淇淋。而其他选项在这个旅行中没有被提到。故选C。 【考点】介词辨析，细节理解。 3.【答案】D 【解析】第四个项目Holiday Lights Tour的最后一句话提到”Advance reservations required”，由此可知，该旅行需要提前预定。故选D。 【考点】代词，细节理解。 4.【答案】B 【解析】根据第一段的最后一句”As one group of workers carried out the rubbish，another group began removing seats and other theater equipment in preparation for the buildings end”可推断出工人们清理垃圾和清除座位及其他剧院设备是在为剧院的关闭做准备。故选B。 【考点】副词辨析，推理判断。 5.【答案】D 【解析】根据第二段中的”Theater owner Ed Bradford said he chose the movie because it seemed appropriate”可知，剧院的老板亲自选定了The Last picture Show这部电影，因为他认为这部电影很合适。原文中的“appropriate”和D选项的“suitable都表示“合适的”。故选D。 【考点】细节理解。 6.【答案】C 【解析】第四段最后一句说剧院被卖给了当地的开发公司，该公司计划在剧院所在地建综合购物大楼，因此可推断出剧院将被推倒拆除。故选C。 【考点】动词的时态，推理判断。
2017考研英语一阅读答案 答案：21-25 ACDDC 21. 答案【A】explain American’s tolerance of current security checks. 解析：本题目为例证题，考察论点与论据。根据题干关键词the crash of Egypt Air Flight 804定位到第二段第二句。例证题中的例子为论据，所要找的答案为论点，而论点在论据之 前，因此该题目的答案是第二段的第一句话。二段首句说的是美国人愿意忍受长时间的安全 检查。正确答案A的American’s tolerance是原文Americans are willing to tolerate的原词复现，current security checks是原文的time-consuming security 的同义转化。干扰项B 的urgency to strengthen security worldwide，原文未提及worldwide，属于扩大范围;选项C的major U.S. major airports属于具体信息的干扰;选项D的privacy 隐私并未提及，是常识性干扰。 22. 答案【C】An increase in the number of travelers. 解析：本题目为原因细节题。根据题干中的long waits at major airports定位到原文第三段的第二句，原文的resulted in 与题干中的contributed to是同义转化，所以定位内容就 是提升的安全措施以及航空旅游的增加。正确答案C的an increase in the number of travelers 是原文 a rise in airline travel的同义替换。干扰项A的carry-on bags是在第四段的最后一句出现的，非定位句内容;选项B的TSA efficiency也出现在第四段;选项D的unexpected secret checks未提及。

2017年江苏省英语高考阅读C A new commodity brings about a highly profitable,fast-growing industry,urging antitrust（反垄断）regulators to step in to check those who control its flow. A century ago,the resource in question was oil. Now similar concerns are being raised by the giants（巨头）that deal in data, the oil of the digital age. The most valuable firms are Google,Amazon, Facebook and Microsoft. All look unstoppable. Such situations have led to calls for the tech giants to be broken up. But size alone is not a crime. The giants' success has benefited consumers. Few want to live without search engines or a quick delivery. Far from charging consumers high prices, many of these services are free (users pay, in effect, by handing over yet more data). And the appearance of new-born giants suggests that newcomers can make waves, too. But there is cause for concern. The internet has made data abundant, all-present and far more valuable, changing the nature of data and competition. Google initially used the data collected from users to target advertising better. But recently it has discovered that data can be turned into new services: translation and visual recognition, to be sold to other companies. Internet companies’ control of data gives them enormous power. So they have a “God’s eye view” of activities in their own markets and beyond. This nature of data makes the antitrust measures of the past less useful. Breaking up firms like Google into five small ones would not stop remaking

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项中,选出最佳选项。 A To American visitors, Iceland is a very interesting country, partly because it is different in so many ways from what he or she is used to seeing at home. There are quite a few things that are not done, or that do not exist on the island —quite a few "No's". There is no pollution, for instance. No dogs are permitted in Reykjavik, the capital. There is no television on Thursdays or during the entire month of July, and only three hours of black-and-white TV the rest of the time. There is no hard liquor on Wednesdays and no beer at any time. There are no handguns; only one jail of thirty-five cells in the entire land —an admirable figure, even for a small country of 313,376 people. There is no army, air force or navy. There is no tipping for anything. There are no large stores open on Saturdays or Sundays. Since Iceland is situated just under the Arctic Circle, there is no darkness in summer and no daylight in winter. But thanks to Gulf Stream, the climate is rather mild, with temperatures ranging from 34 degrees Fahrenheit to 52 degrees in July. The rules on television, liquor, and guns are the result of governmental decision. But the absence of pollution is due in great part to the fact that Iceland gets its power from the enormous geyser(间歇泉and the thousands of hot springs that come out of the ground. They provide all the energy needed by the country. In fact, Iceland uses only 3 percent of all its available power. Iceland has been described as a democratic independent country where more fish are caught and more books published per person than anywhere else in the world. The Icelanders have always felt a particular love for literature. They composed their first works in the ninth and tenth centuries AD. These works were poems and tales about the kings, heroes, and heroines of Iceland and Norway. At first the stories were memorized
2017年考研英语阅读示例及解析 考研英语阅读翻译文章示例 考研英语中，阅读一直都是考试重点，它考察大家很多方面的能力，其中包括单词量和阅读能力等等。复习的时候大家一定会接触到历年的真题，对于自学的考生来说，历年考研英语阅读译文就显得非常重要的，因为大家需要正确的译文，才能更好的了解文章。现在书店也有很多关于历年考研英语阅读译文的书籍。 面对众多的书籍，大家往往都不知道该怎样去选择一本真正有用的参考书，凯程老师就给大家推荐一本历年考研英语阅读译文的书籍，叫做《考研英语阅读与翻译(附历年真题分析+答案)》。这本书中有历年考研英语阅读译文，有了这本书，大家在阅读的时候遇到一些难长句就不用担心了，只要对照上面的译文就能很好的理解了。下面就是2011年阅读真题的译文以及答案的解析： Text 2 When Liam McGee departed as president of Bank of America in August, his explanation was surprisingly straight up. Rather than cloaking his exit in the usual vague excuses, he came right out and said he was leaving "to pursue my goal of running a company." Broadcasting his ambition was "very much my decision," McGee says. Within two weeks, he was talking for the first time with the board of Hartford Financial Services Group, which named him CEO and chairman on September 29. 当八月份，Liam McGee以总裁的身份从美国银行离职的时候，他的解释出人意料的直白。他没有忸怩的用平常的模糊的理由来遮掩他的离开，他很坦诚的讲他离开就是为了去追求他经营一家公司的目标。McGee说宣扬自己的目标就是自己的决定。两周后，他第一次和Hartford Financial Services Group的董事会第一次会谈，这家公司在9月29日提名他为董事会主席和CEO. McGee says leaving without a position lined up gave him time to reflect on what kind of company he wanted to run. It also sent a clear message to the outside world about his aspirations. And McGee isn't alone. In recent weeks the No.2 executives atAvonand American Express quit with the explanation that they were looking for a CEO post.
