A wise man once said that the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. So, as a police officer, I have some urgent things to say to good people.

Day after day my men and I struggle to hold back a tidal wave of crime. Something has gone terribly wrong with our once-proud American way of life. It has happened in the area of values. A key ingredient is disappearing, and I think I know what it is: accountability.

Accountability isn t hard to define. It means that every

person is responsible for his or her actions and liable for their consequences.

Of the many values that hold civilization together -- honesty, kindness, and so on -- accountability may be the most important of all. Without it, there can be no respect, no trust, no law -- and, ultimately, no society.

My job as a police officer is to impose accountability on people who refuse, or have never learned, to impose it on themselves. But as every policeman knows, external controls on people s behavior are far less effective than internal restraints such as guilt, shame and embarrassment.

Fortunately there are still communities -- smaller towns, usually -- where schools maintain discipline and where parents hold up standards that proclaim: In this family certain things are not tolerated -- they simply are not done!

Yet more and more, especially in our larger cities and suburbs, these inner restraints are loosening. Your typical robber has none. He considers your property his property; he takes what he wants, including your life if you enrage him.

The main cause of this break-down is a radical shift in attitudes. Thirty years ago, if a crime was committed, society was considered the victim. Now, in a shocking reversal, it s the

criminal who is considered victimized: by his underprivileged upbringing, by the school that didn t teach him to read, by the church that failed to reach him with moral guidance, by the parents who didn t provide a stable home.

I don t believe it. Many others in equally disadvantaged circumstances choose not to engage in criminal activities. If we free the criminal, even partly, from accountability, we become a society of endless excuses where no one accepts responsibility for anything.

We in America desperately need more people who believe that the person who commits a crime is the one responsible for it.

31. What the wise man said suggests that ________.

[A] it s unnecessary for good people to do anything in face of evil

[B] it s certain that evil will prevail if good men do nothing about it

[C] it s only natural for virtue to defeat evil

[D] it s desirable for good men to keep away from evil

32. According to the author, if a person is found guilty of

a crime, ________.

[A] society is to be held responsible

[B] modern civilization is responsible for it

[C] the criminal himself should bear the blame

[D] the standards of living should be improved

33. Compared with those in small towns, people in large cities have ________.

[A] less self-discipline

[B] better sense of discipline

[C] more mutual respect

[D] less effective government

34. The writer is sorry to have noticed that ________.

[A] people in large cities tend to excuse criminals

[B] people in small towns still stick to old discipline and standards

[C] today s society lacks sympathy for people in difficulty

[D] people in disadvantaged circumstances are engaged in criminal activities

35. The key point of the passage is that ________.

[A] stricter discipline should be maintained in schools and families

[B] more good examples should be set for people to follow

[C] more restrictions should be imposed on people s

behavior

[D] more people should accept the value of accountability

The period of adolescence, i.e., the period between childhood and adulthood, may be long or short, depending on social expectations and on society s definition as to what constitutes maturity and adulthood. In primitive societies adolescence is frequently a relatively short period of time, while in industrial societies with patterns of prolonged education coupled with laws against child labor, the period of adolescence is much longer and may include most of the second decade of one s life. Furthermore, the length of the adolescent period and the definition of adulthood status may change in a given society as social and economic conditions change. Examples of this type of change are the disappearance of the frontier in the latter part of the nineteenth century in the United States, and more universally, the industrialization of an agricultural society.

In modern society, ceremonies for adolescence have lost their formal recognition and symbolic significance and there no longer is agreement as to what constitutes initiation

ceremonies. Social ones have been replaced by a sequence of steps that lead to increased recognition and social status. For example, grade school graduation, high school graduation and college graduation constitute such a sequence, and while each step implies certain behavioral changes and social recognition, the significance of each depends on the socio-economic status and the educational ambition of the individual. Ceremonies for adolescence have also been replaced by legal definitions of status roles, rights, privileges and responsibilities. It is during the nine years from the twelfth birthday to the twenty-first that the protective and restrictive aspects of childhood and minor status are removed and adult privileges and responsibilities are granted. The twelve-year-old is no longer considered a child and has to pay full fare for train, airplane, theater and movie tickets. Basically, the individual at this age loses childhood privileges without gaining significant adult rights. At the age of sixteen the adolescent is granted certain adult rights which increases his social status by providing him with more freedom and choices. He now can obtain a driver s license; he can leave public schools; and he can work without the restrictions of child labor laws. At the age of eighteen the law provides adult

responsibilities as well as rights; the young man can now be a soldier, but he also can marry without parental permission. At the age of twenty-one the individual obtains his full legal rights as an adult. He now can vote, he can buy liquor, he can enter into financial contracts, and he is entitled to run for public office. No additional basic rights are acquired as a function of age after majority status has been attained. None of these legal provisions determine at what point adulthood has been reached but they do point to the prolonged period of adolescence.

36. The period of adolescence is much longer in industrial societies because ________.

[A] the definition of maturity has changed

[B] the industrialized society is more developed

[C] more education is provided and laws against child labor are made

[D] ceremonies for adolescence have lost their formal recognition and symbolic significance

37. Former social ceremonies that used to mark adolescence have given place to ________.

[A] graduations from schools and colleges

[B] social recognition

[C] socio-economic status

[D] certain behavioral changes

38. No one can expect to fully enjoy the adulthood privileges until he is ________.

[A] eleven years old

[B] sixteen years old

[C] twenty-one years old

[D] between twelve and twenty-one years old

39. Starting from 22, ________.

[A] one will obtain more basic rights

[B] the older one becomes, the more basic rights he will have

[C] one won t get more basic rights than when he is 21

[D] one will enjoy more rights granted by society

40. According to the passage, it is true that ________.

[A] in the late 19th century in the United States the dividing line between adolescence and adulthood no longer existed

[B] no one can marry without the permission of his parents until the age of twenty-one

[C] one is considered to have reached adulthood when he has a driver s license

[D] one is not free from the restrictions of child labor laws until he can join the army

Most growing plants contain much more water than all other materials combined. C. R. Barnes has suggested that it is as proper to term the plant a water structure as to call a house composed mainly of brick a brick building. Certain it is that all essential processes of plant growth and development occur in water. The mineral elements from the soil that are usable by the plant must be dissolved in the soil solution before they can be taken into the root. They are carried to all parts of the growing plant and are built into essential plant materials while in a dissolved state. The carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air may enter the leaf as a gas but is dissolved in water in the leaf before it is combined with a part of the water to form simple sugars -- the base material from which the plant body is mainly built. Actively growing plant parts are generally 75 to 90 percent water. Structural parts of plants, such as woody stems no longer actively growing, may have much less water than growing tissues.

The actual amount of water in the plant at any one time, however, is only a very small part of what passes through it

during its development. The processes of photosynthesis, by which carbon dioxide and water are combined -- in the presence of chlorophyll (叶绿素) and with energy derived from light -- to form sugars, require that carbon dioxide from the air enter the plant. This occurs mainly in the leaves. The leaf surface is not solid but contains great numbers of minute openings, through which the carbon dioxide enters. The same structure that permits the one gas to enter the leaf, however, permits another gas -- water vapor -- to be lost from it. Since carbon dioxide is present in the air only in trace quantities (3 to 4 parts in 10,000 parts of air) and water vapor is near saturation in the air spaces within the leaf (at 80℉, saturated air would contain about 186 parts of water vapor in 10,000 parts of air), the total amount of water vapor lost is many times the carbon dioxide intake. Actually, because of wind and other factors, the loss of water in proportion to carbon dioxide intake may be even greater than the relative concentrations of the two gases. Also, not all of the carbon dioxide that enters the leaf is synthesized into carbohydrates (碳水化合物).

41. A growing plant needs water for all of the following except ________.

[A] forming sugars

[B] sustaining woody stems

[C] keeping green

[D] producing carbon dioxide

42. The essential function of photosynthesis in terms of plant needs is ________.

[A] to form sugars

[B] to derive energy from light

[C] to preserve water

[D] to combine carbon dioxide with water

43. The second paragraph uses facts to develop the essential idea that ________.

[A] a plant efficiently utilizes most of the water it absorbs

[B] carbon dioxide is the essential substance needed for plant development

[C] a plant needs more water than is found in its composition

[D] the stronger the wind, the more the water vapor loss

44. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?

[A] The mineral elements will not be absorbed by the

plant unless they are dissolved in its root.

[B] The woody stems contain more water than the leaves.

[C] Air existing around the leaf is found to be saturated.

[D] Only part of the carbon dioxide in the plants is synthesized.

45. This passage is mainly about ________.

[A] the functions of carbon dioxide and water

[B] the role of water in a growing plant

[C] the process of simple sugar formation

[D] the synthesis of water with carbon dioxide

Each of the three passages below is followed by some questions. For each question there are four answers. Read the passages carefully and choose the best answer to each of the questions. Put your choice in the ANSWER SHEET. (20 points) Text 1

In 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. A new phase in space exploration has begun.

The 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. Venus has a similar density, so it is probably made of approximately the same stuff, and it has an atmosphere, complete with clouds. It is also the closest planet to earth, and thus the most similar in distance from the sun. In short, Venus seems to justify its long-held nickname of earth s twin.

The surface temperature of Venus reaches some 900F. Added 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). Water is all but nonexistent.

Born with so many fundamental similarities to earth, how did Venus get to be so radically different: It is not just an academic matter. For all its extremes, Venus is a valuable laboratory for researchers studying the weather and climate of

earth. It has no earth s oceans, so the heat transport and other mechanisms are greatly simplified. In 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.

16. Venus is similar to Earth in ________.

[A] size and density

[B] distance from the sun

[C] having atmosphere

[D] all of the above

17. The greatest value in studying Venus should be to ________.

[A] allow us to visit there

[B] understand Earth better

[C] find a new source of energy

[D] promote a new space program

18. The main idea of this passage is about ________.

[A] problems of space travel

[B] scientific methods in space exploration

[C] the importance of Venus to Earth

[D] conditions on Venus

Tourists were surprised to see a woman driving a huge orange tractor down one of Rome s main avenues. Italy s political leaders and some of its male union chiefs are said to have been even more puzzled to see that the tractor was followed by about 200,000 women in a parading procession that took more than three hours to snake through central Rome.

Shouting slogans, waving flags and dancing to drumbeats, the women had come to the capital from all over Italy to demonstrate for a job for each of us, a different type of job, and a society without violence. So far, action to improve women s opportunities in employment has been the province of collective industrial bargaining. But there is a growing awareness that this is not enough, says a researcher on female labor at the government-funded Institute for the Development of Professional Training for Workers.

Women, who constitute 52 per cent of Italy s population, today represent only 35 per cent of Italy s total workforce and 33 per cent of the total number of Italians with jobs. However, their presence in the workplace is growing. The employment of women is expanding considerably in services, next to the public administration and commerce as their principal

workplace. Official statistics also show that women have also made significant strides in self-employment. More and more women are going into business for themselves. Many young women are turning to business because of the growing overall in employment. It is also a fact that today many prejudices have disappeared, so that banks and other financial institutes make judgments on purely business considerations without caring if it is a man or a woman.

Such changes are occurring in the professions too. The number of women doctors, dentists, lawyers, engineers and university professors increased two to three fold. Some of the changes are immediately visible. For example, women have appeared on the scene for the first time as state police, railway workers and street cleaners.

However, the present situation is far from satisfactory though some progress has been made. A breakthrough in equal opportunities for women is now demanded.

19. The expression snake through central Rome probably means to move ________

[A] quietly through central Rome.

[B] violently through central Rome.

[C] in a long winding line through central Rome.

[D] at a leisurely pace through central Rome.

20. Which of the following statements is NOT true?

[A] There are more women than men in Italy.

[B] In Italy, women are chiefly employed in services.

[C] In Italy, women are still at a disadvantage in employment.

[D] In Italy, about two-thirds of the jobs are held by men.

21. About 200,000 women in Rome demonstrated for ________.

[A] more job opportunities

[B] a greater variety of jobs

[C] equal job, equal pay

[D] both A and B

22. The best title for this passage would be ________.

[A] The Role of Women is Society

[B] Women Demonstrate for Equality in Employment

[C] Women as Self-employed Professionals

[D] Women and the Jobs Market

Text 3

The old idea that talented children burn themselves out in the early years, and, therefore, are subjected to failure and at worst, mental illness is unfounded. As a matter of fact, the

outstanding thing that happens to bright kids is that they are very likely to grow into bright adults.

To find this out, l, 500 gifted persons were followed up to their thirty-fifth year with these results:

On adult intelligence tests, they scored as high as they had as children. They were, as a group, in good health, physically and mentally. 84 per cent of their group were married and seemed content with their lives.

About 70 per cent had graduated from college, though only 30 per cent had graduated with honors. A few had even dropped out, but nearly half of these had returned to graduate. Of the men, 80 per cent were in one of the professions or in business management or semiprofessional jobs. The women who had remained single had office, business, or professional occupations.

The group had published 90 books and 1,500 articles in scientific, scholarly, and literary magazines and had collected more than 100 patents.

In a material way they did not do badly either. Average income was considerably higher among the gifted people, especially the men, than for the country as a whole, despite their comparative youth.

In fact, far from being strange, most of the gifted were turning their early promise into practical reality.

23. The old idea that talented children burn themselves out in the early years is ________.

[A] true in all senses

[B] refuted by the author

[C] medically proven

[D] a belief of the author

24. The survey of bright children was made to ________.

[A] find out what had happened to talented children when they became adults

[B] prove that talented children burn themselves out in the early years

[C] discover the percentage of those mentally ill among the gifted

[D] prove that talented children never burn themselves out

25. Intelligence tests showed that ________.

[A] bright children were unlikely to be mentally healthy

[B] between childhood and adulthood there was a considerable loss of intelligence

[C] talented children were most likely to become gifted

adults

[D] when talented children grew into adults, they made low scores

2018考研英语阅读解题思路：细节题_毙考题

2018考研英语阅读解题思路：细节题 理解文章的具体信息和概念含义是大纲对阅读的明确要求。细节题目的考查在每年的考研英语真题当中都会占到一半以上，考生必须给予足够重视，牢牢掌握细节题的解题方法和思路。我们以2009年的真题为例： The relationship between formal education and economic growth in poor countries is widely misunderstood by economists and politicians alike. Progress in both area is undoubtedly necessary for the social, political and intellectual development of these and all other societies; however, the conventional view that education should be one of the very highest priorities for promoting rapid economic development in poor countries is wrong. We are fortunate that it is, because building new educational systems there and putting enough people through them to improve economic performance would require two or three generations. 31. The author holds that the importance of education in poor countries______. [A] is subject to groundless doubts [B] has fallen victim of bias [C] is conventional downgraded [D] has been overestimated 解析：首先依据题干关键词the importance of education in poor countries定位到第一句The relationship between formal education and economic growth in poor countries is widely misunderstood，但是仔细研读后发现贫穷国家中正规教育与经济发展之间的关系为经济学家及政治家们普遍误解。，该句只是在说正式教育和经济发展之间的关系，并不是题干所要找的教育的重要性。继续定位到第三句however, the conventional view that education should be one of the very highest priorities for promoting rapid economic development in poor countries is wrong.那种认为教育应该是促进贫穷国家经济快速发展的重要因素之一的传统观点是错误的。句中涉及了和教育的重要性相关的信息，锁定为答案出处。作者说这种传统的观点时错误的，可以理解为作者认为贫困国家不应该把教育看的如此重要，即，现在的贫困国家太过于注重教育了，所以答案选[D] has been overestimated教育被高估了。[C] is conventional downgraded被降级轻视，和原文事实相反。A和B选项所说的怀疑和偏见态度在原文中找不到依据，可排除。

2019考研英语阅读理解常考题型总结

2019考研英语阅读理解常见题型总结 来源：智阅网 考研英语阅读理解虽然难度不小，但是还是有规律可循。掌握好了规律，可以有效提高我们的复习效率和复习成绩。所以，就来说说阅读理解的常见题型有哪些。 1.主旨大意题。 这类题实质考察考生对中心思想的理解，难度不高，具体应对技巧如下： A.关注各段落首句，尤其是第一段首句，这与西方人思维相关，他们习惯开门见山表达出自己的观点，然后广泛引用材料去论述。因此，一般而言首段的首句构成文章的中心句，而各段的首句构成各段的中心。 B.关注首段末句。有些作者习惯先列出一些传统的观点或先对一些具体现象进行说明，然后提出与之不同的观点或在结尾对现象进行总结，在接下来的段落中继续论述。对于这类文章，如果作者没有提出不同的观点，则最后总结性语句为文章中心，一旦提出不同或完全对立的观点，又在后文中加以论述，则作者提出的新观点为文章中心;如果新老观点均是对同一个结果的论述，那么该论述的结论为文章中心。 C.当不能直接找出主题句时，通常文章中作者给予叙述较多或强调较多的某一事物或某一观点即文章的中心。在题目作答时，可采用中心词定位法，排除不含中心词的选项，对比有中心词的选项，选择最接近中心的选项。 D.如果对选项仍有异议，可把有异议的选项逐个带入文章中，看哪个能更好的囊括文章中心。这是一个检验的过程。 2.事实细节题。 此类题占阅读总分40分中的50%左右，因此十分重要。注意，这类问题与推理性问题截然相反，都可以从原文中找到答案，只不过

为了迷惑考生，常常将原文进行改写，换一种说法。所以，照抄原文，一字不改的不一定就是答案，而与原文意思相同的，才是正确的。其基本应对技巧如下： A.基本原则是以中心为导向，忠实原文为基础，千万不可主观臆断，最好的方法是回到原文的出题点进行揣摩。 B.必须看清题目，尤其是当题目就某一个具体细节并且脱离文章中心的提问。一般来说，细节问题绝大部分是围绕文章中心进行出题，但不排除文中就一些具体的，因果互动现象的内容提问。 3.词汇短语题。 其分值不高，考察范围可分为两类。第一，纲内词汇词义的引申。考察考生对所熟悉的词汇在特定语境下正确含义的理解。一般来说，该词的本意不是解，但是其引申义上仍可以找到本意的影子。第二，纲外词汇词义的推断。 4.推断性问题。 此类题大概占20%左右的分值，总体难度不大，是考生的必得分点。中心导向依然是解题的宏观主线，其关键是忠实原文的推断。其应对策略和事实细节题类似，考生在该题型上的主要失误在于脱离文章主观臆断造成的。 5.语气态度题。 对作者态度的判断是构成阅读理解的两条宏观主线之一。因此，正确辨明作者对所叙述事物的态度，不仅关系到本类题型的解答，也潜在影响到其他问题的正确解答。这类题目主要从作者文中描述事物所用到的形容词，副词，动词等表达感情色彩的词汇入手。当选项不能确定时，再回到原文中找关键词。对这类题型，分清褒贬一般不难，是考生的必得分点。 我们还可以做做何老师的2019《考研英语阅读思路解析》，有助于我们更好地理解阅读理解这个题型，并且还能培养好应试心理。

考研英语一阅读理解真题加解析1994 Passage 5

1994 Passage 5 Discoveries in science and technology are thought by "untaught minds" to come in blinding flashes or as the result of dramatic accidents. Sir Alexander Fleming did not, as legend would have it, look at the mold on a piece of cheese and get the idea for penicillin there and then. He experimented with antibacterial substances for nine years before he made his discovery. Inventions and innovations almost always come out of laborious trial and error. Innovation is like soccer; even the best players miss the goal and have their shots blocked much more frequently than they score. The point is that the players who score most are the ones who take the most shots at the goal — and so it goes with innovation in any field of activity. The prime difference between innovators and others is one of approach. Everybody gets ideas, but innovators work consciously on theirs, and they follow them through until they prove practicable or otherwise. What ordinary people see as fanciful abstractions, professional innovators see as solid possibilities. "Creative thinking may mean simply the realization that there's no particular virtue in doing things the way they have always been done," wrote Rudolph Flesch, a language authority. This accounts for our reaction to seemingly simple innovations like plastic garbage bags and suitcases on wheels that make life more convenient: "How come nobody thought of that before?" The creative approach begins with the proposition that nothing is as it appears. Innovators will not accept that there is only one way to do anything. Faced with getting from A to B, the average person will automatically set out on the best-known and apparently simplest route. The innovator will search for alternate courses, which may prove easier in the long run and are bound to be more interesting and challenging even if they lead to dead ends. Highly creative individuals really do march to a different drummer. 67. What does the author probably mean by "untaught mind" in the first paragraph? [A] A person ignorant of the hard work involved in experimentation. [B] A citizen of a society that restricts personal creativity. [C] A person who has had no education. [D] An individual who often comes up with new ideas by accident. 68. According to the author, what distinguishes innovators from non-innovators? [A] The variety of ideas they have. [B] The intelligence they possess. [C] The way they deal with problems. [D] The way they present their findings. 69. The author quotes Rudolph Flesch in Paragraph 3 because ________.

考研除了考察知识素养外，更多的还要考察题型的系统化总结、熟知命题思路等。对于考研 英语阅读来说，除了正向的掌握词汇、学习语法等，还应该掌握一些辅助技能，在关键时刻 可以助你一臂之力。因此我们就需要清楚在阅读的题目设置上，有哪些选项的特征会偏向于 正确选项，又有哪些特征偏向于是错误选项。当然这只是一个参考，为正确率多一层保证， 踏踏实实地学仍然是主要，这是应急之道! ?正确选项的特点分析 1、正确选项是原文内容的同义替换 那么相对的就是说：如果选项中的句子是文中的原文，就有可能是陷阱，不是正确选项，因 为很可能会是句子虽对但是与题目不符合。 而在同义替换的过程中需要注意的是有可能只是某个单词或者短语的简单替换，也有可能是 句式的替换和语态的转换，还有可能是对文中内容的概括归纳和总结。总之意思不变是原则。 2、正确选项一般符合常理和道德 需要注意的是：这是要分情况去讨论的。因为如果题目是针对文中的某个人物的观点，那么 这个人物有可能会有一定的谬论的出现，那么如果在这种内容上设置题目很明显就只能根据 原文的意思来，也就是说正确选项极有可能是不符合常规的。 但是，就绝大多数观点类的题目而言，无论是结论也好还是作者观点态度也好，正确选项基 本符合常理和伦理道德，以保证不误导大家正确的价值观。 3、补充小点 (1)出现的位置：段首段尾处、转折关系处、让步关系处、因果关系处、条件关系处; (2)正确答案通常与文章中心思想，主旨大意，作者对文中论述事物所持的观点态度有关。注意：这是解题基调，如果作者在文中对整个事物是持积极正面的评价，那么选项中出现消极 反面的，与事实相反的肯定不是解。 (3)正确答案从语义上去理解经常含有不肯定的语气词和委婉表达的词：can，may，might，possible，notnecessarily，some尤其是推理题的答案常这样设置，以显示推理题所论述含义的 相对性。 (4)正确答案具有概括性(考察考生的理解归纳能力)，深刻性，因为其考查的对象是阅读文章 的重点和要点。 (5)难的最可能是答案，这与命题动机有些相似，难的比容易的更能考察考生对语言的理解能力，具体体现在下面几个方面： a.否定的比肯定的难，否定的是答案(包括否定，双重和多重否定)。 b.抽象的比具体的难，抽象深刻的是答案，具体肤浅的不是。 c.动态变化的比静态的难，动态变化的是答案。 d.未知难于已知，未知的是答案。 (6)常规的不是答案，观点新且合理的是答案。 (7)含义与文章内容方向一致的，描述客观的是答案。 (8)选项含义丰富有弹性的是答案，绝对的无端的不是答案如：有条件的是答案，相对的是答案。 注意：四个选项中有两项意思相反时，其中必有一个是答案。 ?错误选项的特点分析 1、偷换概念

考研英语历年阅读理解真题精析--2001年part2

考研英语历年阅读理解真题精析--2001年part2 Part Two A great deal of attention is being paid today to the so called digital divide-the division of the world into the info（information）rich and the info poor. And that divide does exist today. My wife and I lectured about this looming danger twenty years ago. What was less visible then, however, were the new, positive forces that work against the digital divide. There are reasons to be optimistic. There are technological reasons to hope the digital divide will narrow. As the Internet becomes more and more commercialized, it is in the interest of business to universalize access-after all, the more people online, the more potential customers there are. More and more governments, afraid their countries will be left behind, want to spread Internet access. Within the next decade or two, one to two billion people on the planet will be netted together. As a result, I now believe the digital divide will narrow rather than widen in the years ahead. And that is very good news because the Internet may well be the most powerful tool for combating world poverty that we've ever had. Of course, the use of the Internet isn't the only way to defeat poverty. And the Internet is not the only tool we have. But it has enormous potential. To take advantage of this tool, some impoverished countries will have to get over their outdated anti-colonial prejudices with respect to foreign investment. Countries that still think foreign investment is an invasion of their sovereignty might well study the history of infrastructure （the basic structural foundations of a society）in the United States. When the United States built its industrial infrastructure, it didn't have the capital to do so. And that is why America's Second

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。

2015翻译考研英语二阅读难度和出题思路分析

2015翻译考研英语二阅读难度和出题思 路分析 2015年考研初试已经完成，2016考研已经也进入紧锣密鼓的准备当中，小编整理2015年考研英语二阅读难度及出题思路分析，希望对大家备战2016年考研有所帮助。预祝每一位考研人都梦想成真。 考研英语的阅读理解题，无非是从宏观和微观等两个角度进行考察，体现在题型上从广义的角度可分为两类：主旨态度题和细节事实题。考生需要有这样的认知。主旨态度是全文的论点，细节事实，是全文的论据。两者相结合，才是一篇逻辑性严谨的文章。文章中的细节，即论据，通常是作者论证文章主题或是论证段落大意而使用的具体信息。因为，就议论文而言，作者阐明所要阐述的问题和观点之后，通常会使用大量的具体细节去支持并加以说明。这些细节可以是原因、事例、数字等等。论据的常用展现方法为：下定义、做比较、打比方等。下面凯程教育英语教研室阅读主讲靳姝老师将对2015年考研英语二的阅读理解部分的题型难度和解题思路进行了细致的分析。 今年的英语二真题题目难度和往年持平，甚至比去年略有下降，四篇文章阅读难度不大，题目也没有偏离大纲要求及出题思路，让学生非常纠结的选项。据统计，今年20道题目中，1道主旨题，1道词义句意题，3道推断题，其余16道全部为细节题，其中四道为细节观点题，2道因果细节题。 一、主旨态度题的题型和难度分析： 考研英语二阅读理解命题思路从宏观上，考察全文的主旨大意，文章标题和作者态度，也就是我们常说的主旨态度题。第四篇文章最后一道题问文章主要讨论了什么，这道题也是四篇阅读中唯一一道主旨大意题，有相当难度。与往年不同的是，今年这道题方法技巧性不强，无论是题干法还是串线摘帽法，都无法准确全面概况全文主旨，而这道题需要在读懂文章的基础上，有一定归纳概括能力。文章首段指出目前的失业率呈现出下降的趋势，而接下来的第二段提出在这种失业率下降的好现象中，我们忽略了那些自愿(voluntary)参加兼职工作的人。第三段就自愿兼职工作者和非自愿兼职工作者的区别展开描述。最后两段表明，那些自愿参加兼职工作的人是因为有了一项名为Obamacare的政策，该政策旨在使那些没有全职工作的人也有可能获得保险，从而提升就业率。可见，全文都是围绕美国的就业形势展开讨论。故A选项employment in the US 美国的就业情况正确。 二、细节事实题的题型和难度分析： 从以往的历年试题分析中，不难发现，细节事实题的比例占据了一半以上，尤其对于英语二

While warnings are often appropriate and necessary —the dangers of drug interactions, for example—and many are required by state or federal regulations, it isn't clear that they actually protect the manufacturers and sellers from liability if a customer is injured. 【译文】尽管警告常常是适当而且必须的——比如对于药物相互作用的危险提出警告——许多警告还是按州或联邦ZF规定要求给出的，然而(我们) 并不清楚，如果顾客受到伤害时，这些警告是不是确实可以使得生产者和销售者豁免责任。 【分析】在这个主从复合句中，it isn't clear that they actually protect the manufacturers and sellers from liability if a customer is injured是主句。主句用了一个形式主语it，真正的主语是that引导的从句，而that从句之后是一个if引导的条件从句。从句由两个部分组成，中间用and连接。破折号之间的部分是举例说明warnings 的内容。注意：many are required by state or federal regulations中的many是指many warnings。 2. Additional social stresses may also occur because of the population explosion or problems arising from mass migration movements—themselves made relatively easy nowadays by modern means of transport . 【译文】由于人口猛增或大量人口流动(现代交通工具使大量人口流动变得相对容易) 所引起的各种问题也会对社会造成新的压力。

高分学姐总结的考研英语一阅读理解复习方法与技巧

高分学姐总结的考研英语一阅读理解复习方法与技巧 大家都深知考研英语一阅读部分的重要性，但是对于如何复习考研英语阅读还是比较茫然，今天我就根据自己复习考研英语的经验，再结合“零元课”视频讲解的阅读技巧和考点分析，跟大家谈谈如何复习阅读理解才能达到最好的复习效果。 PS：有些是摘录“零元课”讲师的原话，在此特别鸣谢各位老师。 考研英语阅读题型一般分为7种：推理题、例证题、词汇题、句子理解题、指代题、主旨题、态度题。下面就分别谈谈各题型的复习技巧。 （一）词汇题 主要测试考生根据上下文正确推测判断词义的能力，考察词汇的掌握情况。标志是The word “…”inline …refers to … 复习方法：精读历年真题，将近十年真题文章中的生词全部记住，重点记忆一词多义的，还有固定搭配和相关词组，也要注意近反义词和近似词义辨析。推荐《考研真相》，对词汇注释很细致，也做了一些拓展，利于记忆相关词汇，增加词汇量。 做题技巧：1.返回原文注意结合上下文，理解该词的意思； 2.如果是考纲内词汇，则字面意思必然不是正确答案； 3.词汇的正确答案，经常蕴藏在原文该词出现的前后。 （二）例证题 例证题主要是考查考生通过段落、句子来推测文章的主旨、

支持的观点等。标记词有：“example, illustrate, case, exemplify, illustration”等。 复习方法：这种题型一是考察考生文章理解能力，二是考察考生逻辑能力，这些都需要多做题，多多总结，做题的时候要回文定位，总结常考的套路，学会利用文章来把握人物观点和文章主旨。 做题技巧：1.回文定位；2.90％向上，10％向下，搜索该例证周围的区域，找出例证支持的观点。一般要对该观点进行同意替换，既是正确选项。 （三）推理题 推理题一般包括数字推理，知识推断和逻辑推理，它主要考查我们理清上下逻辑关系的能力。推理题常常考查考生：1.进行有关的判断、推理和引申；2.理解作者的意图、观点或态度等。逻辑词常用的有:“infer, imply, suggest, conclude”等。 复习方法：同样需要多多做题，总结解题技巧，需要学会找关键词，比如转折，承接，递进……这些都是逻辑题的出题点，思路一定要清晰，逻辑题一般会有很多陷井，需要学习如何去规避。 做题技巧：1.各选项回文定位；2.依据原文的意思进行:“三错一对”的判断；3.注意推理时的“最近答案”原则。 四、句子理解题 句子理解题要求考生：理解文中的具体信息；理解文中的概

Yet, in several instances, justices acted in ways that _3_ the court’s reputation for being independent and impartial. Justice Antonin Scalia, for example, appeared at political events.

At the very least, the court should make itself _6_to the code of conduct that _7_to the rest of the federal judiciary. This and other similar cases _8_the question of whether there is still a _9_between the court and politics. The framers of the Constitution envisioned law _10_having authority apart from politics.
