2016考研英语二答案详解:阅读理解

2016考研英语二答案详解:阅读理解 Text 1 21 答案B remodel the way of thinking. 解析:此题是文中人物观点题。根据Cortina定位到第二段前三句。Cortina认为尽早接触计算机科学是有益的。第三句It’s not as hard for them to transform their thought processes as it is for older students. 译为在转变思维程序方面小孩不像年龄较大的学生一样困难,即B remodel the way of thinking 转变思维方式即为同义替换。 22 答案D interest 解析:此题是细节题。根据关键词Friedman定位到第四段第二句but之后引号里面内容“我们试图让课程符合学生兴趣”,故而D interest为正确答案。 23 答案A help students learn other computer languages 解析:文中人物观点题。题干问的是Deborah Seehorn认为在Flatiron这里所学到的技能将能怎么样,据此定位到第五段But处,和题干基本一致,该句指出“But the skills they learn…appl to any coding language”,意思是他们学到的技能可以应用于任何编码语言。对比答案选项,A选项的意思是“帮助学生学习其他的计算机语言”属于原文定位处的同义替换。 24 答案C become better prepared for the digitalized world 解析:细节题。题干指出:根据最后一段,Flatiron的学生被期望去干什么。据此定位到最后一段的These kids are going to be处,是题干的同义复现。定位句“These kids are…be surrounded by computers for the rest of their lives. The younger they learn how computers think…….the better.”,意思是学生们越早学越好。C选项“为数字化的未来做更好的准备”是同义概述。 25 答案B persuade 解析:词义句意题,结合上下文来解题。根据coax此单词,定位到最后一段最后一句“how to coax the machine into producing what they want”,考察固定搭配“persuade…into…”。A选项挑战,B选项劝服,C选项使恐慌,D选项误导。考生做题时一定要注意结合上下文来推测生词的词义,这是命题人的出题规律。 Text 2 26 答案A its drastically decreased population 解析:此题是原因细节题。根据关键词定位到第一段But前后关于lesser prairie chickens 数量2million和22,000的强烈对比。此外第二段第二句“the lesser prairie chicken is in a desperate situation”都可以得知A its drastically decreased population 数量的急剧下降为正确答案。 27 答案C granted less federal regulatory powers 解析:此题是原因细节题。根据关键词定位到第二段第四句,They had …, a state that gives federal officials greater regulatory power. 而But 之后是截然相反的事实,即政府授予了更少的管理权。故而C granted less federal regulatory powers为正确答案。 28 答案A agree to pay a sum for compensation 解析:推断题。题干问的是从第三段推出来:无意伤害的那些人是不会被检举的如果怎么样。根据题干定位到第三段首句“it would not prosecute….as long as ….”,题干中问的if 即原文的as long as的同意替换,原文as long as的意思是:只要他们签署了计划。下一句说道,该计划要求个体和企业去支付基金。对应选项A选项“赞同支付赔偿”属于同义替换。 29 答案D the states

考研英语新东方范猛老师阅读理解解题技巧

一.考研阅读的基本解题思路:(四步走) 第一,扫描提干,划关键项。 第二,通读全文,抓住中心。 1.通读全文,抓两个重点: ①首段(中心句、核心概念常在第一段,常在首段出题); ②其他各段的段首和段尾句。(其他部分略读,有重点的读) 2.抓住中心,用一分半时间思考3个问题: ①文章叙述的主要内容是什么? ②文章中有无提到核心概念? ③作者的大致态度是什么? 第三,仔细审题,返回原文。(仔细看题干,把每道题和原文的某处建立联系,挂起钩)定位原则: ①通常是由题干出发,使用寻找关键词定位原则。(关键词:大写字母、地名、时间、数字等) ②自然段定位原则。出题的顺序与行文的顺序是基本一致的,一般每段对应一题。 ★要树立定位意识,每一题、每一选项都要回到原文中某一处定位。 第四,重叠选项,得出答案。(重叠原文=对照原文) 1. 通过题干返回原文:判断四个选项,抓住选项中的关键词,把选项定位到原文的某处比较,重叠选项,选出答案。 2.作题练习要求:要有选一个答案的理由和其余三个不选的理由(高中的时候大家都这样做的) 二.阅读理解的解题技巧 1.例证题: ①例证题的标记。当题干中出现example, case, illustrate, illustration, exemplify 时。 ②返回原文,找出该例证所在的位置,既给该例子定位。 ③搜索该例证周围的区域,90%向上,10%向下,找出该例证支持的观点。例子周围具有概括抽象性的表达通常就是它的论点。 注意:举例的目的是为了支持论点或是为了说明主题句。举例后马上问这个例子说明了什么问题?不能用例子中的话来回答这个问题。 ④找出该论点,并与四个选项比较,得出选项中与该论点最一致的答案。 ⑤例证题错误答案设计的干扰特征经常是:就事论事。即用例子中的某一内容拉出来让你去选。 要求:在阅读中,遇到长的例子,立即给这个例子定位,即找出起始点,从哪开始到哪结束。 2.指代题: ①返回原文,找出出题的指代词。 ②向上搜索,找最近的名词、名词性短语或句子(先从最近点开始找,找不到再找次近的,一般答案不会离得太远)。 ③将找到的词、词组或句子的意思代入替换该指代词,看其意思是否通顺。 ④将找到的词、词组或句子与四个选项进行比较,找出最佳答案。 3. 词汇题:“搜索代入”法

考研英语阅读答题技巧总结(非常实用)

考研阅读技巧 一、考研阅读的整体解题思路与步骤 时间分配:每篇16分钟最佳,最多可延长至20分钟左右。 第一步:快速划出段落序号以及各段首句0.5分钟 第二步:阅读首段,了解文章主题(Theme)1-2分钟 宏观把握,随机应变,根据第一段内容,才能更好的给定位打下基础。 第三步:扫描题干,尽量找出题干能够提供的信息(Key Words)1分钟 定位词的优先考虑顺序: 1、首先标出明确告诉位置的题目所在(某段某行) 2、专有名词优先,包括人名、地名、书名以及带引号的词等 3、数字、时间、时段(包括某些介词短语) 4、较长、较复杂的词组(名词动词词组优先) 5、重要的动词、形容词或副词等实词 6、条件词、因果词、比较词等虚词(往往起到辅助作用) 第四步:变速浏览原文,抓住中心7-8分钟 注意把握三个阅读原则: 原则一:首段原则(文章的第一段逐字读明白,可以反复和回读) 原则二:首末句原则(其余各段的首尾句要细读,其他各句正常阅读即可) 原则三:“路标”原则。所谓路标词,就是表示作者思想衔接和转折的功能词汇。 1、中心词 2、转折词 3、态度词 4、例证词 5、列举词 (具体请见第四部分)

第五步:仔细审题,定位原文3-5分钟 原则一:关键词定位原则 原则二:自然段定位原则 原则三:长难句定位原则 注意一:关键词在原文可能是原词本身,也可能是关键词的同义词。 注意二:问原因的问题,一般问主要原因(major reason) 注意三:“邪恶的眼睛”(in the eyes of),注意问的是谁的观点和态度。 第六步:重叠选项,斟酌答案。3-5分钟 原则:不能仅凭借印象做题,考研阅读的干扰项干扰性巨大,除了理解原文,分辨正确和错误的选项也是一种重要的基本功。一般对原文进行同义替换的是答案: 同义替换的手段有:a)关键词替换b)句型替换c)正话反说d)语言简化(总之,换汤不换药!) 原则一:选最佳答案而不是正确答案(四个选项都要认真看,不能偏心)。 原则二:不放过任何一个选项,仔细读每个选项,鉴于强干扰性,要求必须记住:选一个选项应有选的理由,不选一个选项也应有不选的理由。 原则三:每个选项都当成生命中最重要的句子,其中每个单词哪怕是时态、冠词都有可能引起错误。 二、考研阅读的猜题技巧及救命法则 1、“体现中心思想的选项往往是答案” 考研文章中所有的细节、例子、引语都是为了说明文章主旨、段落主旨,所以考细节的题目,虽然不是主旨题,但能体现中心思想的选项是答案的可能性要远远大于其他选项。 2、“不看文章时,看似极其合理的选项不是答案;看似不太合理的选项往往是答案”

考研英语二阅读理解全文翻译

英语二T e x t 1 1---Homework has never been terribly popular with students and even many parents, but in recent years it has been particularly scorned. School districts across the country, most recently Los Angeles Unified, are revising(修改) their thinking on his educational ritual(例行公事). Unfortunately, L.A. Unified has produced an inflexible (不可变更的) policy which mandates(批准) that with the exception of some advanced courses, homework may no longer count for more than 10% of a student’s academic grade。 家庭作业从来就没有受到学生甚至家长的真正欢迎,但最近几年来,家庭作业却受到人们的鄙视。全国的学校都在修改家庭作业的相关惯例做法。不幸的是,洛杉矶学区通过了一项不可变更的政策:除了高等课程,家庭作业在学分中所占比例不可以超过10%。 21.It is implied in paragraph 1 that nowadays homework_____。 [A] is receiving more criticism [B] is no longer an educational ritual(绝对) [C] is not required for advanced courses(正反) [D] is gaining more preferences(正反) 2---This rule is meant to address the difficulty that students from impoverished or chaotic homes might have in completing their homework. But the policy is unclear and contradictory. Certainly, no homework should be assigned that students cannot do without expensive equipment. But if the district is essentially giving a pass to students who do not do their homework because of complicated family lives, it is going riskily close to the implication that standards need to be lowered for poor children。 这个规定旨在提出:来自贫穷家庭或混乱家庭的学生有困难,不能完成家庭作业。但该政策是不清晰的,是矛盾的。显然,没有哪个家庭作业是在没有昂贵设备就无法完成的。但如果该学区因为学生家庭复杂而不做家庭作业就给他通过的话,那么这就意味着对于贫穷孩子,标准要降低。

考研英语阅读做题经验和方法

考研英语阅读做题经验 和方法 IMB standardization office【IMB 5AB- IMBK 08- IMB 2C】

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

2016考研英语阅读八大题型解题技巧

2016考研英语阅读八大题型解题技巧 1. 例证题: ①例证题的标记。当题干中出现example, case, illustrate, illustration, exemplify 时。 ②返回原文,找出该例证所在的位置,既给该例子定位。 ③搜索该例证周围的区域,90%向上,10%向下,找出该例证支持的观点。例子周围具有概括抽象性 的表达通常就是它的论点。 注意:举例的目的是为了支持论点或是为了说明主题句。举例后马上问这个例子说明了什么问题?不能用例子中的话来回答这个问题。 ④找出该论点,并与四个选项比较,得出选项中与该论点最一致的答案。

⑤例证题错误答案设计的干扰特征经常是:就事论事。 ? 即用例子中的某一内容拉出来让你去选。(╳) 要求:在阅读中,遇到长的例子,立即给这个例子定位,即找出起始点,从哪开始到哪结束。 2. 指代题: ①返回原文,找出出题的指代词。 ②向上搜索,找最近的名词、名词性短语

或句子(先从最近点开始找,找不到再找次近的,一般答案不会离得太远)。 ③将找到的词、词组或句子的意思代入替换该指代词,看其意思是否通顺。 ④将找到的词、词组或句子与四个选项进行比较,找出最佳答案。 3. 词汇题:“搜索代入”法 ①返回原文,找出该词汇出现的地方。 ②确定该词汇的词性

③从上下文(词汇的前后几句)中找到与所给词汇具有相同词性的词(如一下子找不到就再往上往下找),代入所给词汇在文章中的位置(将之替换)看语义是否合适 ④找出选项中与代替词意思相同或相近的选相,即答案 注意:a.如果该词汇是简单词汇,则其字面意思必然不是正确答案。 b.考研阅读不是考察字认识不认识,而是考察是否能根据上下文作出正确的判断。 c.词汇题的正确答案经常蕴藏在原文该词

2015年考研英语二阅读理解真题及答案(阅读理解)

2015年考研英语二阅读理解真题及答案(阅读理解) Section Ⅱ Reading Comprehension Part A Directions: Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. (40 points) Text 1 A new study suggests that contrary to most surveys. People art actually more stressed at home than at work. Researchers measured people's cortisol , which is it at stress marker, while they were at work and while they were at home and found it higher at what is supposed to be a place of refuge. “Further contradicting conventional wisdom, we found that women as well as men have lower levels of stress at work than at home,” writes one of the researchers. Sarah Damaske, In fact women say they feel better at work. She notes. “it is men not women. Who report being happier at home than at work,” Another surprise is that the findings hold true for both those with children without, but more so for nonparents. This is why people who work outside the home have better health. What the study doesn't measure is whether people are still doing work when they' re at home, whether it is household work or work brought home from the office. For many men, the end of the workday is a time to kick back. For women who stay home,they never get to leave the office. And for women who work outside the home, they often are playing catch-up-with-household tasks. With the blurring of roles, and the fact that the home front lags well behind the workplace in making adjustments for working women, it' s not surprising that women are more stressed at home. But it's not just a gender thing. At work, people pretty much know what they're supposed to be doing: working, making money, doing the tasks they have to do in order to draw an income. The bargain is very pure: Employee puts in hours of physical or mental labor and employee draws out life-sustaining moola. On the home front, however, people have no such clarity. Rare is the household in which the division of labor is so clinically and methodically laid out. There are a lot of tasks to be done, there are inadequate rewards for most of them. Your home colleagues-your family-have no clear rewards for their labor; they need to be talked into it, or if they' re teenagers, threatened with complete removal of 新祥旭官网https://www.wendangku.net/doc/0213744610.html,/

2020考研英语二各题型答题技巧汇总.doc

2020考研英语二各题型答题技巧汇总 技巧一、完形填空 1.题量较多,分数较低,可以的话放在最后来回答。 2.答题步骤可分为: (1)先通读题目和选项,题目一般含有文中的关键词,选项一般是对某一个段落或某几个段落的概括总结。通读题目和选项后,会对文章的主题和大概内容有所了解。 (2)找出题目的关键词所在的段落,找出选项中与关键词所在段落同义、近义或相关性的词语,实现关键词的对接,确定句子间的关联性,从而选出正确答案。另外,通过阅读选项,有可能找出跟其他选项表达完全不同意思的句子,通过阅读文章,我们就可以直接将该选项排除,进一步降低选项的难度。 (3)把选出的选项同题目连在一起阅读,查看内容是否连贯,前后是否一致。 3.参考“红花绿叶”原则: (1)红花词:以下8个词(词组)均出现过3次以上,每次都作为正确答案出现:however,while,although,forexample,suchas,because... (2)绿叶词:以下10个词均出现2-3次,但从未成为正确答案:at,ifonly,onlyif,nowthat...

技巧二、阅读理解 1.五种题型不同的应对方法: (1)细节题 根据题目寻找关键词,再根据关键词定位所在段落。80%往下找,20%往上找,要注意的是,跟文章几乎一模一样的选项,一般是错误的,正确答案是和文章主旨相符合的。 (2)主旨题 需要看清楚这篇文章的主要描写的对象是什么。因为错误选项中最常见的就是混淆关系,张冠李戴。此外,这类题型答案多在文章末段可以找到,要多加留心文章的最后一段。同时,如果问某一段的中心思想,要注意这一段的首句和尾句。 (3)态度题 要审题。要注意文章中的主人物的观点和作者的观点是不同的。考生们在写这类题目时,可以在看文章时候划下语气词和主语,同时注意文章中的转折词,一般在转折词的后面可以找到答案。 (4)推断题 主要考查学生对这篇文章的理解,所以必须要根据题意通读文章内容。 (5)词义题

2011考研英语二真题阅读理解手动整理无错版

Text 1 Ruth Simmons joined Goldman Sachs’s board as an outside director in January 2000: a year later she became president of Brown University. For the rest of the decade she apparently managed both roles without attracting much eroticism. But by the end of 2009 Ms. Simmons was under fire for having sat on Goldman’s compensation committee; how could she have let those enormous bonus payouts pass unremarked? By February the next year Ms. Simmons had left the board. The position was just taking up too much time, she said. Outside directors are supposed to serve as helpful, yet less biased,advisers on a firm’s board. Having made their wealth and their reputations elsewhere, they presumably have enough independence to disagree with the chief executive’s proposals. If the sky, and the share price is falling, outside directors should be able to give advice based on having weathered their own crises. The researchers from Ohio University used a database hat covered more than 10,000 firms and more than 64,000 different directors between 1989 and 2004. Then they simply checked which directors stayed from one proxy statement to the next. The most likely reason for departing a board was age, so the res earchers concentrated on those “surprise” disappearances by directors under the age of 70. They found that after a surprise departure, the probability that the company will subsequently have to restate earnings increased by nearly 20%. The likelihood of being named in a federal class-action lawsuit also increases, and the stock is likely to perform worse. The effect tended to be larger for larger firms. Although a correlation between them leaving and subsequent bad performance at the firm is suggestive, it does not mean that such directors are always jumping off a sinkin g ship. Often they “trade up.” leaving riskier, smaller firms for larger and more stable firms. But the researchers believe that outside directors have an easier time of avoiding a blow to their reputations if they leave a firm before bad news breaks, even if a review of history shows they were on the board at the time any wrongdoing occurred. Firms who want to keep their outside directors through tough times may have to create incentives. Otherwise outside directors will follow the example of Ms. Simmons, once again very popular on campus.

2013考研英语阅读真题:考研英语(二)第3篇_毙考题

2013考研英语阅读真题:考研英语(二)第3篇 Scientists have found that although we are prone to snap overreactions, if we take a moment and think about how we are likely to react, we can reduce or even eliminate the negative effects of our quick, hard-wired responses. Snap decisions can be important defense mechanisms; if we are judging whether someone is dangerous, our brains and bodies are hard-wired to react very quickly, within milliseconds. But we need more time to assess other factors. To accurately tell whether someone is sociable, studies show, we need at least a minute, preferably five. It takes a while to judge complex aspects of personality, like neuroticism or open-mindedness. But snap decisions in reaction to rapid stimuli aren’t exclusive to the interper sonal realm. Psychologists at the University of Toronto found that viewing a fast-food logo for just a few milliseconds primes us to read 20 percent faster, even though reading has little to do with eating. We unconsciously associate fast food with speed and impatience and carry those impulses into whatever else we’re doing. Subjects exposed to fast-food flashes also tend to think a musical piece lasts too long. Yet we can reverse such influences. If we know we will overreact to consumer products or housing options when we see a happy face (one reason good sales representatives and real estate agents are always smiling), we can take a moment before buying. If we know female job screeners are more likely to reject attractive female applicants, we can help screeners understand their biases-or hire outside screeners. John Gottman, the marriage expert, explains that we quickly “thin slice” information reliably only after we ground such snap reactions in “thick sliced” long-term study. When Dr. Gottman really wants to assess whether a couple will stay together, he invites them to his island retreat for a much longer evaluation; two days, not two seconds. Our ability to mute our hard-wired reactions by pausing is what differentiates us from animals: dogs can think about the future only intermittently or for a few minutes. But historically we have spent about 12 percent of our days contemplating the longer term. Although technology might change the way we react, it hasn’t changed our nature. We still ha ve the imaginative capacity to rise above temptation and reverse the high-speed trend. 科学家已经发现:虽然我们易于快速地做出过度反应,但是如果我们花点时间考虑一下我们可能做出的反应,就可以减少,甚至是消除我们快速、本能的反应所带来的消极影响。
