考研英语阅读如何快速把控文章结构

理解文章的总体结构以及上下文之间的关系旨在考查文中某一句话的内涵。因此在解题时,考生要牢牢抓住这句话本身,弄清楚它的每个单词、每个表达及整个句子所传递的信息,可以借助周边的句子来帮助理解,但不要跑得太远。

考研英语阅读,理解文章的总体结构很重要,如果能把握文章上下文之间的联系,就能避免出现对内容的误读导致丢分,也有利于提高阅读速度。今天,勤思考研英语老师带大家学习如何理解文章总体结构。

理解文章的总体结构以及上下文之间的关系要求考生做到:第一步,理清“文章思路”,即指考生首先应对文章总体的思路和结构有一个大概的了解,先不要急于去读题目,而是应当将文章从头到尾看一遍,弄清楚文章的中心意思,这一遍阅读的目的并不是要立即找到答题所需要的信息点。在阅读的时候还要有主次之分,文章的第一段是文章的灵魂和核心,也应当是第一遍阅读的重点所在。考生要尽量将第一段的每一句话都理解透彻,因为掌握了第一段,就已经基本了解掌握了整篇文章的内容,至于其他的段落可以加快速度,看得懂就看,看不懂就暂时跳过去,在不懂的地方做出记号,留待以后解决。读完文章并理清思路后就可以接着阅读试题,命题专家在设计考卷时,题目排列的次序与文章的布局基本是相吻合的,也就是说题目所需要的信息点在文章中应当是按顺序出现的,这一点对于基础差的考生相当重要,因为考生完全可以根据每篇文章题目的题干来推测文章大致

的内容和思路。

第二步,注重了解句与句、段与段之间的关系,特别是文章中的转折关系,学会利用上下文进行必要的判断、推理和引申。只有掌握句段之间的关系,才能摸清作者深层思路上的逻辑关系。从句子与句子,段落与段落之间的过渡可以读出作者整个的思路及论证过程,才能做出正确的推理、判断或引申。

【举例说明】针对此题型,我们建议考生把握这样几个原则:

一、首段原则,首段原则应用于根据首段内容所设置的题目,它包括两种形式:首句原则和末句原则。

1.首句原则

回顾近几年的考研阅读题,细心的考生会发现历年考研试卷中都有题目针对首段第一句话设问,为什么会出现这种情况?原因很简单,考研阅读所选的文章均是议论文和说明文,此类文章的文体要求在首段提出观点、突出中心,因此第一段就好像全篇文章的一个总纲,确定了文章的主要内容,而第一句话常常是一个自然段的主题句,首段首句自然就成为常考且必考的一个考点。例如2003年第56题:It is said that in England death is pressing, in Canada inevitable and in California optional. Small wonder. Americans’life expectancy has nearly doubled over the past century. Failing hips can be replaced, clinical depression controlled, cataracts removed in a 30-minute surgical procedure. Such advances offer the aging population a quality of life that was

unimaginable when I entered medicine 50 years ago. But not even a great health-care system can cure death—and our failure to confront that reality now threatens this greatness of ours.

What is implied in the first sentence?

[A] Americans are better prepared for death than other people.

[B] Americans enjoy a higher life quality than ever before.

[C] Americans are over_confident of their medical technology.

[D] Americans take a vain pride in their long life expectancy.

通过对首句的理解,我们得出该题的正确答案为C。

2.末句原则,有时一个自然段的主题句也会出现在段末,因此考点也相应转向末句。例如1997年第59题:

Technically, any substance other than food that alters our bodily or mental functioning is a drug. Many people mistakenly believe the term drug refers only to some sort of medicine or an illegal chemical taken by drug addicts. They don’t realize that familiar substances such as alcohol and tobacco are also drugs. This is why the more neutral term substance is now used by many physicians and psychologists. The phrase “substance abuse” is often used instead of “drug abuse” to make clear

that substances such as alcohol and tobacco can be just as harmfully misused as heroin and cocaine.

“Substance abuse” is preferable to “drug abuse” in that.

[A] substance can alter our bodily or mental functioning if illegally used

[B] “drug abuse” is only related to a limited number or drug takers

[C] alcohol and tobacco are as fatal as heroin and cocaine

[D] many substances other than heroin or cocaine can also be poisonous

考生对末句稍加深入理解即可得知D为正确答案。

二、段落原则。段落推断原则考查考生对段落内容的理解,分为两类题型:段落首句推断和段落中句子推断。针对这两种具体题型的原则为:先看首句,如与选项符合即可选择,不必再浪费时间看完整个段落,如首句不能与选项吻合时再将整个段落读完以寻找符合的选项。

1. 段落首句推断

例如2003年第44题:

Straitford president George Friedman says he sees the online world as a kind of mutually reinforcing tool for both information collection and distribution, a spymaster’s dream. Last week his firm was busy vacuuming up data bits from the far

corners of the world and predicting a crisis in Ukraine. “As soon as that report runs, we'll suddenly get 500 new Internet sign-ups from Ukraine,” says Friedman, a former political science professor. “And we'll hear back from some of them.”Open-source spying does have its risks, of course, since it can be difficult to tell good information from bad. That’s where Straitford earns its keep.

It can be learned from paragraph 4 that.

[A] Straitford’s prediction about Ukraine has proved true

[B] Straitford’s guarantees the truthfulness of its information

[C] Straitford’s business is characterized by unpredictability

[D] Straitford is able to provide fairly reliable information

首句推断D为正确答案。

2.段落中句子推断

例如1999年第58题:

But it is hardly inevitable that companies on the web will need to resort to push strategies to make money. The examples of Virtual Vineyards, https://www.doczj.com/doc/ac12520076.html,, and other pioneers show that a Web site selling the right kind of products with the right

mix of interactivity, hospitality, and security will attract online customers. And the cost of computing power continues to free fall, which is a good sign for any enterprise setting up shop in silicon. People looking back 5 or 10 years from now may well wonder why so few companies took the online plunge.

We learn from the last paragraph that .

[A]pushing information on the Web is essential to Internet commerce

[B]interactivity, hospitality and security are important to online customers

[C]leading companies began to take the online plunge decades ago

[D]setting up shops in silicon is independent of the cost of computing powe

考生是否看出B为正确答案?

三、转折/对比原则

议论文和说明文都强调逻辑的严谨性,而转折和对比常常可以用来测试考生在这一方面的阅读理解能力,所以考生对文中的转折和对比关系应高度重视,只要看到标明转折或对比的关系词如but, however等,就应当立即在原文上进行标记。一般说来转折后的内容多与上文所表达的意思相反,而对比往往是强调其中的一方。

1.首段的转折/对比

只要首段中出现一对处于对比状况的概念,命题专家通常都会就此设置考题,考生应掌握这一规律,在看到文章首段出现转折对比的内容时,应当立即集中注意力,同时还要明白,第一段出现转折关系时,转折后所表述的一定是文章的中心议题,而在首段出现的对照或对比的内容将在下文中进行具体的议论,并在文章最后得出结论。例如1998年第51题:

Few creations of big technology capture the imagination like giant dams. Perhaps it is human kind’s long suffering at the mercy of flood and drought that makes the ideal of forcing the waters to do our bidding so fascinating. But to be fascinated is also, sometimes, to be blind. Several giant dam projects threaten to do more harm than good.

The third sentence of paragraph 1 implies that .(转折)

[A] people would be happy if they shut their eyes to reality

[B] the blind could be happier than the sighted

[C] over-excited people tend to neglect vital things

[D] fascination makes people lose their eyesight

依据转折关系推出C为正确答案。

2. 文中的转折

例如1996年第55题:

It is a remarkable record, stretching back over 70 years —yet the BBC’s future is now in doubt.

The world famous BBC now faces.

[A] the problem of new coverage

[B] an uncertain prospect

[C] inquiries by the general public

[D] shrinkage of audience

推理同上题,B为正确答案

四、复指原则

在历年的考题中,应用复指原则设问的题目较多,复指分为前指(anaphora)和后指(cataphora)。此类题目的考点是复指代词或与复指副词作用相同的词。1994年、1995年时此类题目大多是直接问考生文章某句中的“it”或“that”等代词指代什么。近几年此类题目的问法开始转向隐蔽,但无论题目用何种方式设问,考生都应当记住,此类题目的答案的位置必定在复指词的上文中。因此,此类题目的解答只需返回原文,在复指词上方扫描即可找到正确答案。如果按阅读习惯接着读下面的句子或段落,无论看多少遍也找不到答案。

例如1997年第57题:

For a long period of time and in many parts of the country, a traveler was a welcome break in an otherwise dull existence. Dullness and loneliness were common problems of the families who generally lived distant from one another. Strangers and travelers were welcome sources of diversion, and brought news of the outside world. The harsh realities of the frontier also

shaped this tradition of hospitality. Someone traveling alone, if hungry, injured, or ill, often had nowhere to turn except to the nearest cabin or settlement. It was not a matter of choice for the traveler or merely a charitable impulse on the part of the settlers. It reflected the harshness of daily life: if you didn't take in the stranger and take care of him, there was no one else who would. And someday, remember, you might be in the same situation.

Families in frontier settlements used to entertain strangers.

[A] to improve their hard life

[B] in view of their long-distance travel

[C] to add some flavor to their own daily life

[D] out of a charitable impulse

根据上述原则可推出C为正确答案。

五、类比原则

议论文和说明文在论证说明事理的时候均很抽象,为了让考生更形象地理解一些抽象的内容,文章常会采用类比的手法。形象的类比不仅有助于将抽象的道理阐释清楚,更可以让读者加深印象。类比在文中有两种体现方式,一是明喻,即A像B一样;二是暗喻,说A是B,由于暗喻更加隐蔽,近年来命题专家也越来越趋向于在暗喻内容上设问。

The mechanic should sit down among levers, screws, wedges, wheels, etc., like a poet among the letters of the alphabet, considering them as an exhibition of his thoughts, in which a new arrangement transmits a new idea.

A technologist can be compared to an artist because. (明喻)

[A] they are both winners of awards

[B] they are both experts in spatial thinking

[C] they both abandon verbal deion

[D] they both use various instruments

考生可否推出B为正确答案?

六、例证原则

让事实说话往往是最有效的论证方式之一,命题专家在设置题目时往往也会针对文中的事例设问,考查考生对局部结构的理解。例证题1994年第一次出现在考研试卷上,共两道题,占4分。但在1995年至1998年间,没有出现过一道例证题,1999年再次出现,一样是两道题,占4分。之后,几乎每年的考题都有一至两道例证题,这就说明考研命题的一大特点,命题规则总是不断重复的。考生们在应用例证原则解题时还应注意常用的例证方式有两种:一是先提出观点,后举例说明;二是先列举事例再做出结论。考生应当学会举一反三,不要被各种原则的变化形式所迷惑。

Now the tide appears to be turning. As personal injury claims continue as before, some courts are beginning to side with defendants, especially in cases where a warning label probably wouldn't have changed anything. In May, Julie Nimmons, president of Schutt Sports in Illinois, successfully fought a lawsuit involving a football player who was paralyzed in a game while wearing a Schutt helmet. “We’re really sorry he has become paralyzed, but helmets aren’t designed to prevent those kinds of injuries,” says Nimmons. The jury agreed that the nature of the game, not the helmet, was the reason for the athlete’s injury. At the same time, the American Law Institute — a group of judges, lawyers, and academics whose recommendations carry substantial weight—issued new guidelines for tort law stating that companies need not warn customers of obvious dangers or bombard them with a lengthy list of possible ones. “Important information can get buried in a sea of trivialities,” says a law professor at Cornell Law School who helped draft the new guidelines. If the moderate end of the legal community has its way, the information on products might actually be provided for the benefit of customers and not as protection against legal liability.

The case of Schutt helmet demonstrated that .

[A]some injury claims were no longer supported by law

[B]helmets were not designed to prevent injuries

[C]product labels would eventually be discarded

[D]some sports games might lose popularity with athletes

根据文中事实可知A为正确答案。

【学习指导】

理解文章的总体结构以及上下文之间的关系旨在考查文中某一句话的内涵。因此在解题时,考生要牢牢抓住这句话本身,弄清楚它的每个单词、每个表达及整个句子所传递的信息,可以借助周边的句子来帮助理解,但不要跑得太远。

对大部分考来说,欠缺的不是泛读,而是精读。总的来说,考生们在精读文章的时候要对文章和考点、干扰项等进行详细的分析、总结。这时要仔细体会文章中精彩的语言,注意词语的内涵、使用、扩展和搭配,代词和名词的指代,对精彩句型的模仿,以及对重要语法现象、长句、难句、文章结构的分析。另外,还要注意分析句子和句子之间的关系,是因果、递近、转折还是什么?尤其要注意文章的第一句和最后一句,以及每段的第一句和最后一句与其它句子的关系,体会每句话在文章中的作用。在阅读过程中,要培养自己对文章主要讨论对象、关键词,作者和专家的观点,以及语气的把握。特别注意作者和专家的观点,专家和专家之间的观点是否相同或相反或互补,以及作者和专家的语气是赞成还是反对,是关注还是乐观等等。如果

是真题,还要仔细分析考点和正确、干扰选项的规律、特征。在此过程中,可把文章尽可能的多读几遍,甚至翻译一下,提高对文章中单词、短语、句型等的反应速度,阅读速度自然也就提高了。

考研英语(一)阅读技巧总结 俗话说:“前人栽树,后人乘凉”,我们做任何事不能闭门造车,备考考研英语也是同样的道理,我们要学会寻找技巧方法,吸取前人的经验教训,进而才能更好的准备我们的考研英语考试。 之前我在准备考研英语考试时,咨询过很多学长学姐,再加上我个人的一些体验,总结了如下技巧(主要是针对考研英语一阅读)一、素材来源 好多同学买到真题就立即上手做,但从未了解过,真题是来源于哪些杂志文章啊,以及它会涉及哪些方面的内容啊,我们只有了解了这些才能做到心中有数,做起题来也更有方向感,其实,考研英语阅读和完形填空的真题文章有一半以上的都来源于英国的著名杂志《经济学人》,这个老牌的英文杂志涵盖的方面比较广泛,包括经济、政治、文化、科技、历史等诸多方面的话题。 二、阅读能力提高 阅读能力的测试包括阅读速度,理解程度以及记忆能力等。要想获得满意的考研英语成绩,最根本的方法就是提高词汇量,加强阅读训练,同时熟悉一些阅读技巧和做题方法也是至关重要的,每个人都有自己做题的一套方法,也各有所取,个人比较偏向于快速浏览,选取关键词的方法,做阅读题时,我们尤其要避免以下几点: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。 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。 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。 以上就是个人的经验总结,希望对同学们有帮助,最后,再推

考研英语阅读理解全文翻译

Text1 Habits are a funny thing. We reach for them mindlessly, setting our brains on auto-pilot and relaxing into the unconscious comfort of familiar routine. “Not ch In but habit rules the unreflecting herd,” William Wordsworth said in the 19th century. the ever-changing 21st century, even the word “habit” carries a negative connotation. So it seems antithetical to talk about habits in the same context as creativity and innovation. 习惯是件有趣的事情。我们无意识间养成了一些习惯,我们的大脑是自动运 转的,轻松进入熟知套路所带来的不自觉舒适状态。“这并非选择,而是习惯控 制了那些没有思想的人”,这是威廉?华兹华斯(William Wordsworth)19世纪时 说的话。在现在这个日新月异的21世纪,甚至习惯这个词本身也带有负面涵义。 因此,在创造和革新的背景下来谈论习惯,似乎显得有点矛盾。 But brain researchers have discovered that when we consciously develop new habits, we create parallel synaptic paths, and even entirely new brain cells, that can jump our trains of thought onto new, innovative tracks. But don’t bother trying to kil off old habits; once those ruts of procedure are worn into the hippocampus, they there to stay. Instead, the new habits we deliberately ingrain into ourselves create parallel pathways that can bypass those old roads. 但大脑研究人员发现,当我们有意识地培养新的习惯的时候,我们创建了平 行路径,甚至是全新的脑细胞,可以让我们的思路跳转到新的创新轨道上来。但 是,不必费心试图摈弃各种旧习惯;一旦这些程序惯例融进大脑,它们就会留在 那里。相反,我们刻意培养的新习惯会创建平行路径能避开原来那些老路。 “The first thing needed for innovation is a fascination with wonder,” says D Markova, author of “The Open Mind” and an executive change consultant for Professional Thinking Partners. “But we are taught instead to ‘decide,’ just as decide is to kill off president calls himself ‘the Decider.’” She adds, however, that “to all possibilities but one. A good innovational thinker is always exploring the many other possibilities.” 大学英语

考研英语阅读理解试题解题方法及步骤

考研英语阅读理解试题解题方法及步骤 考研可以说是人生的一个转折驿站,一次改变命运的艰辛历练。作为考研路上的重要科目--英语,也成为不少考生脚下的牵绊石,而占分数比重的阅读理解,自然也是考试中的重头戏,能否巧妙的用对技巧,灵活应答,成为考生研路中的棘手问题,下面我们就层层推进,分析一下阅读的方法技巧和步骤攻略,揭开这层久未露面的神秘面纱。 一、阅读方法 阅读文章基本方法有3种,一是略读,二是精读,三是寻读。略读是一种快速阅读方法,在非常短的时间内浏览全文获得文章的中心思想和主要事实。精读则是仔细阅读每句话,理解分析其含义,弄清句与句之间的逻辑关系,进而理解整个段落的意思。而寻读则是通过目光扫视,迅速确定你所期望得到的信息的位置。考试中3种基本方法可以用在不同的情况。通过略读,我们可以了解材料的结构安排和主要信息,利用精读我们可以针对考题中的某些信息或难点做具体细致的解析,而寻读则在解题过程中起着一个定位的作用。 二、阅读步骤 第一步:略读短文把握方向 用尽量短的时间扫视短文,特别留意每段的第一句和末段的最后一句。因为各段的主题句往往在句首,而文章的最后一句很可能是概括总结。略读的目的是掌握短文的主旨大意,做到对全文的内容心中大致有数,有一个思考的方向。 第二步:浏览问题有的放矢 浏览5个问题,揣测出题者出此题的目的并侧重阅读短文相关部分。由于对所问问题及文章主旨都已了解,在阅读时自然会知道哪些地方得细读哪些地方可一带而过甚至跳过不读。所有问题都是根据文章内容提出的,基本反映并覆盖了文章的主要内容。先阅读问题再阅读全文,这种方法的优点是:可在较短的时间内有针对性地阅读相关内容,便于给相关问题定位,有的放矢,事半功倍。 第三步:分析判断确定答案 在完成上面两步的基础上,对5个问题逐一解答。需要注意的是:要是文章内容涉及自己熟悉的题材和知识范畴,在选项时绝对不能单凭自己的主观判断解决问题。因为文章考的是你对该篇的阅读理解能力,而不是你的某种知识,因此选项不能脱离文章的题意。 对于英语水平相对较低,阅读速度较慢的考生来说,我们建议不妨直接从第二步开始:先浏览所有5道题的题目,对文章所涉及的内容有个粗略的估计或了解,然后逐一解答。先寻读文章的相关部分,然后选择正确答案。如遇到有关文章主旨大意或需要推理的题,可先放一放,等做完其他题再做这类题。先难后易,各个击破。 另外,在阅读过程中,不妨在自己认为比较重要的某些句子或词语(主题句,关键词)下面划线,标上符号,这样有助于突出重点,活跃思维,同时也便于阅读,节省时间,使阅

考研英语阅读经验

考研英语阅读经验 h t p:/w w.C n K y.N e t 2006-5-31 考研英语的重点就是要大量的阅读。现在考研英语对阅读的考查越来越多,这也需要我们进一步的提高阅读能力。虽然考研的阅读理解有一定的规律可循,但是这些规律也在逐年的淡化。这几年反技巧的出题趋势越来越明显,考试越来越重视考生的真正阅读分析能力。所以,我们一定要提前打好基础,在整个一年的复习中,每天除了做专门的阅读理解练习外,还要阅读一定量的英语报刊。据了解,考研的阅读理解很多都是摘自国外的一些著名的报纸,如美国的New York Times(纽约时报),英国的Times (泰晤士报)等等。如果能找来的话,这些都是很好的阅读材料。06年最新的4篇文章就来自于传统的核心刊物:Economist,Time,以及Newsweek,这个进一步说明考研英语文章选材来源的固定化,进而给参加2007年考研的同学也提供了一个非常好的平时选读文章的方向。在这里必须要强调一点的就是,2006年阅读理解的最后一篇文章在“英语文摘”第7期上不但已经发表,而且还附之以中文翻译。这个就告诉我们的广大考生,在我们选读国外经典杂志时也不应该忽略犹如“英语文摘”、“英语世界”等等核心的国内英语刊物。希望参加2007年的考生予以重视。而且,考研英语的阅读量越来越大,里面不但有很多考察全文的主旨题,还有很多的细节题和作者态度题,这些内容的提炼都要我们在平时的阅读中渐渐地培养,而不是靠考前一两个月就可以一蹴而就的。 与此同时,备战考试的同学还要刻意训练自己快速阅读的能力,由上下文推理的能力以及中英文翻译能力,这对于解答新题型以及翻译题都有很大的帮助。 英语语言教育包括听、说、读、写、译,但是对大多数考研的学生来说,学英语将来主要的目的是看懂国外本专业领域的英语著作,了解本专业最新发展状况。因而,在国内外各类英语考试中,阅读能力的考核越来越受到重视,难度也逐年升高,在雅思、托福测试中也是如此。所以新大纲加强阅读的考核也是顺应时代要求。阅读理解是硕士研究生入学英语考试的重中之重,这一部分要能获得高分,考生便能在考试中处于有利地位。 阅读理解部分,考生们常常碰到的困难是:理解准确率和阅读速度矛盾,往往是提高了阅读速度,理解准确率就下降,而一味要准确率时,阅读速度就恨慢。要想加快阅读速度,首先要养成正确、良好的阅读习惯。应克服如下4种不良习惯:

考研英语真题经验和方法 阅读理解的文章大多为说明文或者议论文。针对这两类文章,考生应该有不同的阅读重点和策略。对于说明文来说,最重要的是抓住文章的说明对象、事实和数据;对于议论文来说,最重要的是总结作者的观点和结论、抓住作者的态度,以及作者的观点和态度与其他人的观点和态度之间的关系等等。 13个重点考点和四大命题原则。考生应该熟记这些重点考点,并在平时的练习中训练自己对这些考点的敏感程度,做到使自己的神经能够一找到这些考点就会条件反射般地兴奋起来,从而增强对重点的记忆和理解。下面首先将一一介绍阅读理解文章的敏感考点。 1、首段和尾段 一篇文章的主题句、或者说是中心思想往往出现在文章的首段或者尾段。大家在阅读了一定数量的文章之后就能够发现,许多文章开门见山地在文章第一段中就提出了要说明的对象或者要论证的观点,这些中心思想句的位置一般都是文章第一句话或者第一段的最后一两句话。 此外,文章的最后一段一般都会对全文的说明和论证进行总结,这些句子往往位于最后一段的第一句话或最后一句话。通过一些标志性词汇或者短语,我们可以更快地找到这些总结性句子,如: allinall,inshort,toconclude,inconsequence,insummary,inaword,asaresult,the refore,accordingly,thus等。 主题句考查了考生是否能够把握文章大意的能力,因此是常考且几乎是必考的一个考点。 2、段首和段尾 无论是说明文还是议论文,一篇文章往往会分成几个部分或层次进行说明和论证,每一个段落一般都是一个部分或者层次。英美人写文章的逻辑性非常强,文章结构都非常规范,因此每个段落的首句和尾句也经常是该段落的中心思想句,因此也是出题的重点区域,涉及的问题包括了中心思想题、推理判断题和细节题等。下文也将会提到,在进行快速阅读的时候,考生只需要浏览文章每一段的第一句话就大致能够判断这篇文章的中心思想和主旨。 3、长难句 上文提到了长难句是阅读理解的主要难度所在,其中包含了同位语、插入语、定语、不定式、分词、各种从句等,使得句子长达好几行。因此这些复杂的句型也往往成为了试题的重点所在。考生应该加强训练自己对付长难句的能力,平时练习中有意识地去分解这些句子,理解其中的指代关系和句子层次。 4、列举处 所谓的列举是指通过一些表示顺承关系的词语逐项列出一些事实或者观点,标志性的词汇包括First,Second,Third…;Firstly,Secondly,Thirdly… Finally;Firstofall,Then,Inaddition,Further,Furthermore,Besides,Moreover…针对这一考点的题目通常考查文章细节,有时候也涉及对文章内容的推理判断。这种题目没有固定的提问方式,不过通常会有两种题型:第一种是从四个答案选项中选择正确的一项,错误选项的意思往往与文章的意思相反或因果关系颠倒;第二中

2017考研英语一阅读理解Text 4真题及答案解析

Text 4 In a rare unanimous ruling, the US Supreme Court has overturned the corruption?conviction of a former Virginia governor, Robert McDonnell.?But it did so while holding its nose at the ethics of his conduct, which included accepting gifts such as a Rolex watch and a Ferrari automobile from a company seeking access to government. The high court’s decision said the judge in Mr. McDonnell’s trial failed to tell a jury that it must look only at his “official acts,”or the former governor’s decisions on “specific”and “unsettled”issues related to his duties. Merely helping a gift-giver gain access to other officials, unless done with clear intent to pressure those officials, is not corruption, the justices found. The court did suggest that accepting favors in return for opening doors is “distasteful”and “nasty.”But under anti-bribery laws, proof must be made of concrete benefits, such as approval of a contract or regulation. Simply arranging a meeting, making a phone call, or hosting an event is not an “official act”. The court’s ruling is legally sound in defining a kind of favoritism that is not criminal. Elected leaders must be allowed to help supporters deal with bureaucratic problems without fear of prosecution for bribery.”The basic compact underlying representative government,”wrote Chief Justice John Roberts for the court,”assumes that public officials will hear from their constituents and act on their concerns.” But the ruling reinforces the need for citizens and their elected representatives, not the courts, to ensure equality of access to government. Officials must not be allowed to play favorites in providing information or in arranging meetings simply because an individual or

Read the passages carefully and choose the best answer to each of the questions. Put your choice in the brackets on the left. (10 points) Text 1 ①In May 1989, space shuttle “Atlantis” released in outer space the space probe “Megallan,” which is now on her 15-month and one-billion-kilometer flight to Venus. ②A new phase in space exploration has begun. ①The planet Venus is only slightly smaller than Earth; it is the only other object in the solar system, in fact, that even comes close to earth’s size. ②Venus has a similar density, so it is probably made of approximately the same stuff, and it has an atmosphere, complete with clouds. ③It is also the closest planet to earth, and thus the most similar in distance from the sun. ④In short, Venus seems to justify its long-held nickname of “earth’s twin.” ①The surface temperature of Venus reaches some 900F. ②Added to that is an atmospheric pressure about 90 times Earth’s: High overhead in the carbon dioxide (CO2) that passes for air is a layer of clouds, perhaps 10 to 20 miles thick, whose little drops consist mostly of sulfuric acid (H2SO4). ③Water is all but nonexistent. ①Born with so many fundamental similarities to earth, how did Venus get to be so radically different: It is not just an academic matter. ②For all its extremes, Venus is a valuable laboratory for researchers studying the weather and climate of earth. ③It has no earth’s oceans, so the heat transport and other mechanisms are greatly simplified. ④In addition, the planet Venus takes 243 earth-days to turn once on its axis, so incoming heat from the sun is added and distributed at a more leisurely, observable pace. 一、词汇 1.shuttle n. 返汽车(列车,飞机);航天飞机,航天器 2.release v. 放出,释放 3.probe n. 探测 4.phase n. 阶段 5.density n. 密度 6.approximately ad. 大概,大约 7.stuff n. 材料,东西 8.passes for被当成9.sulfuric a. 硫的 10. acid n. 酸性物质,酸11. axis n. 轴(线) 12.leisurely ad. 慢慢地,悠然地 二、长难句 1.

考研英语的学习心得体会范文

考研英语的学习心得体会范文 我参加了新东方XX年的考研英语强化培训班,在XX年1月份的考研中取得了75分的成绩。这个分数不算很高,但是相对于我在英语学习上花费的时间精力,我已经对此很满意了,所以非常感谢成都新东方学校的老师对我的指导和帮助。 英语作为一门外语学科,最基础的当然是单词。作为一名理工科的学生,背单词一直是我最头疼的问题,每次看到一本本那么厚的单词书就让我感到很烦躁。但是新东方教会了我最快捷高效的记忆单词的方法,那就是只背真题词汇。没错,就是在历年真题中找出生词,然后抄写下来反复背诵。考研的整个过程中我都没有看过单词书,就是靠着新东方的这种背真题单词的方法进行学习,而且我感觉在正式考试的时候效果非常好。 考研英语和四六级在题型上最大的区别就是没有听力,所以阅读和作文就显得尤为重要。首先是阅读,考研英语阅读题目量不多,但是分值很重。所以一定要保证正确率,不用盲目追求速度。阅读首先还是要有词汇量,就是历年真题中的单词要尽量多掌握。然后就是句子分析,这方面新东方的培训讲得很透彻,只要用心听都没问题,而且还顺便把翻译拿下了。最后就是一些做题的小技巧,新东方的老师都会总结的很细致,记好笔记有空多看两眼就行。 作文也是考研时很重要的项目,不求文采飞扬,也要中规中矩。考研历年来题型就几种,每一种练习几篇就行了。最重要的是背模版,尤其是一些长难句和闪光句子,老师会给你很多,挑几个自己比较喜欢、觉得能用的比较好的记住,然后不论什么题目,都想办法把句子套进去就行了。 至于完形填空,有了以上的大基础,填一填就没有太大问题。有了单词和句子分析的基础,翻译和阅读也不会太离谱。 只要考试的时候放松心态,把自己会的东西发挥出来肯定就能取得满意的结果。 最后祝所有考研学子都能取得满意的成绩!

考研英语阅读理解试题解题方法及步

考研英语阅读理解试题解题方法及步 骤 考研可以说是人生的一个转折驿站,一次改变命运的艰辛历练。作为考研路上的重要科目--英语,也成为不少考生脚下的牵绊石,而占分数比重的阅读理解,自然也是考试中的重头戏,能否巧妙的用对技巧,灵活应答,成为考生研路中的棘手问题,下面我们就层层推进,分析一下阅读的方法技巧和步骤攻略,揭开这层久未露面的神秘面纱。 一、阅读方法 阅读文章基本方法有3种,一是略读,二是精读,三是寻读。略读是一种快速阅读方法,在非常短的时间内浏览全文获得文章的中心思想和主要事实。精读则是仔细阅读每句话,理解分析其含义,弄清句与句之间的逻辑关系,进而理解整个段落的意思。而寻读则是通过目光扫视,迅速确定你所期望得到的信息的位置。考试中3种基本方法可以用在不同的情况。 通过略读,我们可以了解材料的结构安排和主要信息,利用精读我们可以针对考题中的某些信息或难点做具体细致的解析,而寻读则在解题过程中起着一个定位的作用。 二、阅读步骤 第一步:略读短文把握方向 用尽量短的时间扫视短文,特别留意每段的第一句和末段的最后一句。因为各段的主题句往往在句首,而文章的最后一句很可能是概括总结。略读的目的是掌握短文的主旨大意,做到对全文的内容心中大致有数,有一个思考的方向。 第二步:浏览问题有的放矢 浏览5个问题,揣测出题者出此题的目的并侧重阅读短文相关部分。由于对所问问题及文章主旨都已了解,在阅读时自然会知道哪些地方得细读哪些地方可一带而过甚至跳过不读。

所有问题都是根据文章内容提出的,基本反映并覆盖了文章的主要内容。先阅读问题再阅读全文,这种方法的优点是:可在较短的时间内有针对性地阅读相关内容,便于给相关问题定位,有的放矢,事半功倍。 第三步:分析判断确定答案 在完成上面两步的基础上,对5个问题逐一解答。需要注意的是:要是文章内容涉及自己熟悉的题材和知识范畴,在选项时绝对不能单凭自己的主观判断解决问题。因为文章考的是你对该篇的阅读理解能力,而不是你的某种知识,因此选项不能脱离文章的题意。 对于英语水平相对较低,阅读速度较慢的考生来说,我们建议不妨直接从第二步开始:先浏览所有5道题的题目,对文章所涉及的内容有个粗略的估计或了解,然后逐一解答。先寻读文章的相关部分,然后选择正确答案。如遇到有关文章主旨大意或需要推理的题,可先放一放,等做完其他题再做这类题。先难后易,各个击破。 另外,在阅读过程中,不妨在自己认为比较重要的某些句子或词语(主题句,关键词)下面划线,标上符号,这样有助于突出重点,活跃思维,同时也便于阅读,节省时间,使阅读更加积极,并且对于记忆力稍差的考生而言,记住几个重要句子和信息要比记住全文容易得多了。所以,我们建议对阅读文章中的主要句子和关键词标出记号并重点阅读。 总之,英语水平的提高在于日积月累,冰冻三尺,非一日之寒,一分耕耘就有一分收获!考生一定要多探索,选择适合自己的学习方法,以便更快更全面的提高自己的知识容量及做题方法,从容应对,你就是最后的赢家。

考研英语阅读理解精选练习

考研英语:阅读理解精选练习 在考研英语的学习中,阅读理解占到60%的分值(包括阅读理解A、B、C三部分)。其重要性不言而喻。如何提高阅读理解得分能力,将是决战考研英语成败的关键一环。而想要有效提升阅读能力,唯有在实战演练中不断磨砺、体会并归纳总结做题的经验教训,才能有所成效。下面,就跟着都教授每天学一点,每天进步一点吧! Consumers should celebrate that; the firms’losses are their gains. But there is a catch. Comparisonsites, whether for insurance or something else, introduce a new layer of costs,including their own splashy advertising campaigns. In theory, competition in the market for comparison sites ought to keep those costs down. But in a recentpaper, David Ronayne of Warwick University argues that consumers often lose outfrom comparison sites. They earn a commission for each shopper who uses them to buy insurance. That referral cost is incorporated into the price the consumer ends up paying. If the increased costs outweigh the saving the comparison enables, consumers end up worse off. 1. Why consumers often lose out from the comparison sites? (A) The referral cost will be increasedby splashy advertising campaigns. (B) Consumers may not earn the commissionwhen buying the insurance. (C) The new layer of costs may increasethe price of insurance. (D) The insurance company may spend moreon comparison sites. 题目解析: 1. Why consumers often lose out from the comparison sites? (A) The referral cost will be increased by splashy advertising campaigns. referral cost和splashy advertising campaigns之间是没有关系的(看译文你就知道了) (B) Consumers may not earn the commission when buying the insurance. 这个干扰项就是我从文中随便找了几个词拼凑在一起的。Commission你都不知道是什么就瞎选! (C) The new layer of costs may increase the price of insurance. Comparison sites, whether for insurance or something else, introduce a new layer of costs. 这句话看的明白吧:新的成本是会加到保险价格上的,羊毛出在羊身上啊! 正确答案C!!!) (D) The insurance company may spend more on comparison sites. 保险公司才没有花更多呢。 定位其实两个句子都是可以的: That referral cost is incorporated into the price the consumer ends up paying. Comparison sites, whether for insurance or something else, introduce a new layer of costs.

Text1 Habits are a funny thing. We reach for them mindlessly, setting our brains on auto-pilot and relaxing into the u nconscious comfort of familiar routine. “Not choice, but habit rules the unreflecting herd,” William Wordsworth said in the 19th century. In the ever-changing 21st century, even the word “habit” carries a negative connotation. So it seems antithetical to talk about habits in the same context as creativity and innovation. 习惯是件有趣的事情。我们无意识间养成了一些习惯,我们的大脑是自动运转的,轻松进入熟知套路所带来的不自觉舒适状态。“这并非选择,而是习惯控制了那些没有思想的人”,这是威廉?华兹华斯(William Wordsworth)19世纪时说的话。在现在这个日新月异的21世纪,甚至习惯这个词本身也带有负面涵义。因此,在创造和革新的背景下来谈论习惯,似乎显得有点矛盾。 But brain researchers have discovered that when we consciously develop new habits, we create parallel synaptic paths, and even entirely new brain cells, that can jump our trains of thought onto new, innovative tracks. But don’t bother trying to kill off old habits; once those ruts of procedure are worn into the hippocampus, they’re there to stay. Instead, the new habits we deliberately ingrain into ourselves create parallel pathways that can bypass those old roads. 但大脑研究人员发现,当我们有意识地培养新的习惯的时候,我们创建了平行路径,甚至是全新的脑细胞,可以让我们的思路跳转到新的创新轨道上来。但是,不必费心试图摈弃各种旧习惯;一旦这些程序惯例融进大脑,它们就会留在那里。相反,我们刻意培养的新习惯会创建平行路径能避开原来那些老路。 “The first thing needed for innovation is a fascination with wonder,” says Dawna Markova, author of “The Open Mind” and an executive change consultant for Professional Th inking Partners. “But we are taught instead to ‘decide,’ just as our president calls himself ‘the Decider.’ ” She adds, however, that “to decide is to kill off all possibilities but one. A good innovational thinker is always exploring the many other possib ilities.”
