考研英语阅读理解提速技巧仿真试题

It was a cold, rainy and wholly miserable afternoon in Washington, and a hot muggy night in Miami. It was Sunday, and three games were played in the two cities. The people playing them and the people watching them tell us much about the ever-changing ethnic structure of the United States.

Professional football in the United States is almost wholly played by native-born American citizens, mostly very large and very strong, many of them black. It is a game of physical strength. Linemen routinely weigh more than 300 pounds. Players are valued for their weigh and muscles, for how fast they can run, and how hard they can hit each other. Football draws the biggest crowds, but the teams play only once a week, because they get so battered.

The 67,204 fans were in Miami for the final game of the baseball World Series. Baseball was once America's favorite game, but has lost that claim to basketball.

Baseball is a game that requires strength, but not hugeness. Agility, quickness, perfect vision and quick reaction are more important than pure strength. Baseball was once a purely American game, but has spread around much of the New World. In that Sunday's final, the final hit of the extra inning game was delivered by a native of Columbia. The Most Valuable Player in the game was a native of Columbia. The rosters of both teams were awash with Hispanic names, as is Miami, which now claims the World Championship is a game that may be losing popularity in America, but has gained it in much of the rest of the world. Baseball in America has taken on a strong Hispanic flavor, with a dash of Japanese added for seasoning.

Soccer, which many countries just call football, is the most widely enjoyed sport in the world. In soccer, which many countries just call football, the ethnic tide has been the reverse of baseball. Until recently, professional soccer in the United States has largely been an import, played by South Americans and Europeans. Now, American citizens in large numbers are finally taking up the most popular game in the world.

Basketball, an American invention increasingly played around the world, these days draws large crowds back home. Likewise, hockey, a game largely imported to the United States from neighboring Canada. Lacrosse, a version of which was played by Native Americans before the Europeans arrived, is also gaining a keen national following.

Sports of all kinds are winning support from American armchair enthusiasts from

a variety of ethnic backgrounds.

结合前面所讲的必备知识及解题策略进一步分析2006年考研大纲中提供的样题,具体掌握解题思路与策略应用。

Directions: In the following text, some sentences have been removed. For Questions 41—45, choose the most suitable one from the list A—G to fit into each of the numbered blank. There are two extra choices, which do not fit in any of the gaps. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.(10 points)

ong before Man lived on the Earth, there were fishes, reptiles, birds, insects, and some mammals. Although some of these animals were ancestors of kinds living today, others are now extinct, that is, they have no descendants alive now. 41. Very occasionally the rocks show impression of skin, so that, apart from color, we can build up a reasonably accurate picture of an animal that died millions of years ago. The kind of rock in which the remains are found tells us much about the nature of the original land, often of the plants that grew on it, and even of its climate.

42. . Nearly all of the fossils that we know were preserved in rocks formed by water action, and most of these are of animals that lived in or near water. Thus it follows that there must be many kinds of mammals, birds, and insects, of which we know nothing.

43. . There were also crab like creatures, whose bodies were covered with a horny substance. The body segments each had two pairs of legs, one pair for walking on the sandy bottom, the other for swimming. The head was a kind of shield with a pair of compound eyes, often with thousands of lenses. They were usually an inch or two long but some were 2 feet.

44. . Of these, the ammonites are very interesting and important. They have a shell composed of many chambers, each representing a temporary home of the animal. As the young grew larger it grew a new chamber and sealed off the previous one. Thousands of these can be seen in the rocks on the Dorset Coast.

45. .About 75 million years ago the Age of Reptiles was over and most of the groups died out. The mammals quickly developed, and we can trace the evolution of many familiar animals such as the elephant and horse. Many of the later mammals, though now extinct, were known to primitive man and were featured by him in cave paintings and on bone carvings.

[A] The shell gush have a long history in the rock and many different kinds are known.

[B] Nevertheless, we know a great deal about many of them because their bones and shells have been preserved in the rocks as fossils. From them we can tell their size and shape, how they walked, the kind of food they ate.

[C] The first animals with true backbones were the fishes, first known in the rocks of 375 million years ago. About 300 million years ago the amphibians, the animals able to live both on land and in water, appeared. They were giant, sometimes

8 feet long, and many of them lived in the swampy pools in which our coal seam, or layer, or formed. The amphibians gave rise to the reptiles and for nearly 150 million years these were the principal forms of life on land, in the sea, and in the air.

[D] The best index fossils tend to be marine creatures. These animals evolved rapidly and spread over large areas of the world.

[E] The earliest animals whose remains have been found were all very simple kinds and lived in the sea. Later forms are more complex, and among these are the sea lilies, relations of the star fishes, which had long arms and were attached by a long stalk to the sea bed, or to rocks.

[F] When an animal dies the body, its bones, or shell, may often be carried away by streams into lakes or the sea and there get covered up by mud. If the animal lived in the sea its body would probably sink and be covered with mud. More and more mud would fall upon it until the bones or shell become embedded and preserved.

[G] Many factors can influence how fossils are preserved in rocks. Remains of an organism may be replaced by minerals, dissolved by an acidic solution to leave only their impression, or simply reduced to a more stable form.

41.【解析】选[B]。本题主要通过句组关系的理解来解答。跳过空格阅读第一段可以看出,本段主要讲述了史前动物的存在(第一句)、部分种类的灭绝(空格前第二句,句中they have no descendants alive now是对extinct一词的解释)以及从化石(rocks as fossils)中我们所能发现的数百万年前就死掉了的动物的精确印记(空格后第一句)和当时的地貌及气候特征(空格后第二句)。由此,我们就看到了空格前后两个句组所叙述内容之间的矛盾和内容上的不足:1)既然已经“灭绝”,怎么还能了解有关的这一切呢?说明空格前的句子与

其空格所在的句子之间具有转折关系。2)空格后第一句中the rocks指的又是什么石头呢?需要在前有所提及,即正确选项中应包含有rock这个词。能够同时满足这两个条件的只有选项[B]。[A]、[E]、[G]中也提到了rock,但在句际关系上与前后句组不相吻合,故不正确。所以正确答案只能是[B]。

42.【解析】选[F]。文章第一段说明了化石是我们研究史前动物的主要依据,而本段则主要说明了这些化石的形成。空格后“几乎我们所知的所有化石都是在由于水作用而形成的岩石中保存下来的 (Nearly all of the fossils that we know were preserved in rocks formed by water action) ”一句是一个结论性表述,之前应有“水作用形成的岩石(rocks formed by water action)”这一过程的细节描述。[F]的内容正好说明死去动物的尸体是如何被水和泥沙保存下来的,与此恰相吻合,所以选[F]。此题极易错选[G],因为[G]一开始就有how fossils are preserved,后面又出现了impression一词,在用词上出现明显的复现现象。但是[G]后面讲的是动物遗体上的有机组织“organism”可能转化成的几种形式,这与下文的内容不相吻合,故不选[G]。

43.【解析】选[E]。本题选择的线索有两条:1)空格后有“There were also crab

like creatures...”,说明空白处应有关于另一类动物的内容;2) 从本段开始,文章转向讨论由低级向高级进化中的动物。[E]开始的部分是“The earliest animals whose remains have been found...”,符合文章写作的顺序。[B]与上文相符,但与下文不符,且与全文结构不相吻合。

44.【解析】选[A]。从上一段和本段的“段际关系”来看,两段属于顺接关系,即两段在相继描述两种不同层级、不同种类的史前动物。从段落结构上来看,两段的开头句都是其主题句,下文接着展开进行细节描述。特别是本段空格后的Of these, ...,标志着空格后一句是空格所在句的拓展句。既然下文一开始就有Of these, ...,空白部分就应该有“some,several,many”或类似的词;再者,此段中关于the ammonites(总类中的一种,

考生不必知道其确切含义)的描述,主要阐述了其shell的构造,由此说明shell是其主要特征,故在“总类”的描述(即空缺句)中应该含有shell一词,这就不难判断答案只能是[A]了。

45.【解析】选[C]。此空独立成段,所以只能从段际关系来分析。因为前两段描述了史前动物由低级向高级的进化过程,而此段后就是结尾段,因此此段必然要起“承上启下”的作用。所谓“承上”,是指要对上文进行一定的概括、总结;所谓“启下”则是要引出下文。下文中的“reptile”在本题空白处前面的文章中从没有提到,在下文中又没有作为新信息,因而作为正确答案的选项中一定有这个词。[C]从375 million years ago的化石的发现到300 million years ago的化石的发现,以及此后nearly 150 million years 内the reptiles的存在,不但对史前动物的进化过程做了很好的概括,而且为下文the Age of Reptile的出现打下了伏笔,是一个很好的“承上启下”的过渡段,所以正确答案只能是[C]。

一.为什么要做模拟题

很多同学都在问什么样的模拟的比较好?要解决这个问题我们必须明确一点就是为什么要做模拟题(作模拟题所带来的好处)。

1. 模拟题所能提高的地方

第一,在作模拟题的过程当中可以加强我们的词汇的记忆,不但可以复习背过的单词,而且可以学到很多新词,更重要的是老词是如何新用的。很多书都强调在阅读中背单词这是很科学的(语境中记忆单词)。

第二,可以锻炼对长难句子的分析和理解,提高一定的阅读能力。

第三,可以保持对考研式文章的熟悉感觉(语感)相应提高对文章的反应速度。

第四,可以锻炼我们的翻译能力,怎么样的组织语言使之翻译通顺。

第五,可以积累很多的经典句型和闪光词组为创作高分作文做好准备。

第六,在答题时可以训练一下由问题返回原文的能力(但是这是模拟题最不足的地方) (注:前五点是我们作题是应该做到的)

2. 模拟题不足之处

第一,出题点不具有规律性。在考研真体中大部分问题的出题点都有一定的规律(以下稍作解释)

第二,客观性把握不好。在考研真题中所有题都是客观的!就是说都是文章告诉我们什么我们才会选什么,没有一点自己推断的意思(如果还是自己主观的推断那就是真题还没有研究明白)对于真题推断题,其中的infer的那些东西都是作者写好的(已经告诉你了)!

第三,所设问题和选项不论从迷惑性和复杂程度两方面来说都不可与真题相提并论!模拟题不是主观性太强过于难,就是出题过于简单!

第四,真题选择文章的的范围是不会牵扯到政治的!可有的模拟题还出现和政治有关的东西,明显看出是拼凑出来的!

(注:这些不足之处正是提高阅读分数的关键)

3. 总结:

从以上几点我们可以看出作模拟题能够提高我们哪些方面,和其本身局限的方面。作题的时候一定要有目的性!每做完一套题都应该有所收获!一味的追求作题数量那就是在浪费宝贵的时间!

所以选择模拟书要注意以下几点:

(1) 文章中超纲词汇不要太多!真题的文章其实从词汇角度来说是很简单的!超纲的单词很少!也就是说真题的难度并不反映在词汇上!

(2) 对于答案要有①文章的整体剖析部分(对文章的总体把握)②词汇注解(加强语境中词汇的记忆)③难句分析(提高难句分析能力)④答案解析(最好能说出大苏在原文的具体位置)⑤参考译文(有的模拟题很多地方翻译得不够准确)

(3) 文章要有时效性!现在的真题所选的文章都是近几年来经济方面,社会方面,人文方面,科技方面的文章。都具有时代性!

一、掌握文章的组织结构

文章和段落在长度上有明显不同,但是在结构上是非常相似的。段落通常由一个主题句引出,接着是一系列说明主题句的细节,最后是结尾句。同样,文章是由篇首段、主体段和结论段三部分组成。引言段揭示主题,正文部分对主题分点阐述,结论段对全文归纳总结。同时,无论文章还是段落都要遵循一致性和连贯性的原则。可以说,文章是段落的扩展,段落是文章的缩影。

1.篇首段目的在于揭示主题,也就是说,引出文中要讨论的核心问题,从而起到统领全文的作用。通常,篇首段由引语句和中心思想句两部分组成。前者目的是引起读者的兴趣,同时使读者对文章要讨论的问题在心理上有所准备。后者向读者交待该文的主题或写作目的。总之,篇首段的作用就是使读者顺利地进入正文。

2.主体段一般由若干段落组成,它们从不同的侧面对文章的主题展开讨论。各段阐述的内容必须与主题一致,有助于说明中心思想,但是只涉及主题的一个方面。

3.结尾段概括全文的内容,使读者对全文有一个完整、清晰的认识。它往往使用不同的话重新阐述中心思想,从而与篇首段相呼应。

二、掌握段落的组织与发展方式

(一)段落的组织结构

段落是若干相关句子围绕一个中心思想或为表达一个统一的主题而组合在一起的写作单位。一般而言,段落结构的组织有如下四种方式:

1.演绎型(general-specific):即段落开头先给一个General statements,之后为Specific sentences。这种段落组织模式最为常见,而且多应用于说明、解释类主题结构的文章中。

2.匹配型(matching):段落的发展主线为两种事物之间的类比,可以是两种事物各自优缺点的一一对应,也可以是先介绍完一个事物,再接着介绍另一个事物。这种结构多用于比较类主题结构的文章中。

3.假设—真实型(hypothetical-real):即作者先提出一种普遍认可或某些人认可的主张和观点,然后进行澄清,说明自己的主张和观点,或者说提出反主张或真实情况。这种组织结构常见于反驳类主题结构的文章中。

4.问题—解决型(problem-solution):首先陈述文章背景(situation),在该背景下问题(problem)提出,然后给出问题的解决方法(solution)或对该问题的反应(response),最后评估该方法(evaluation)。该模式常用于科学论文和新闻报道主题结构的文章中。

(二)段落的发展模式

1.等级型发展:即段内句际关系之间存在下定义、比较或对比、归类或列举关系。

2.线型发展: 1)以时间为顺序,常见于记叙文,表示时态的词贯穿主线。

2)段落各句之间以因果关系为主线发展。

3)以事物或事件的发展过程为主线,多见于说明文。

(三)段落的组成

段落一般由主题句或过渡句、扩展句、细节句组成。主题句是段落的灵魂,是为整篇文章的中心服务的,因此每个段落要么有自己的主题句,要么本身没有主题句,但它是为上文或下文的主题句服务的,以表明文章的大意;过渡句在文章中起承上启下的作用,一般有顺接关系(对上文内容的继续和发展)和转折关系(表示作者转变叙述或表达角度);扩展句是用具体的事实去扩展、证明或支持前面主题句的句子;细节句的存在形式和扩展句相似,只是它是为后面的主题句服务的。

段落是文章的组成部分,它从某一方面阐述、说明整篇文章的主题。好的段落应清晰地、有条理地、有依据地表述一个中心思想。具体来说,好的段落具备以下三个要素:

1.中心突出

段落中心突出会给读者一目了然的感觉,否则就会显得杂乱无章。突出段落中心的一个重要手段就是主题句。主题句通常置于段落之首,这符合英语的语篇思维特征,先采用主题句开门见山地摆出问题,随之辅以细说。其作用是便于读者迅速把握主题,抓住段落的中心思想。当然,也有段落主题句设在段尾,相当于对上文的总结,考生应该能够辨明。

2.思想上保持一致(unity)

主题句确立后,还要注意说明、解释主题句的内容是否与主题相符。总之,一个段落只能有一个中心,段落中所有内容都必须围绕这一中心展开。

3.内容上连贯(coherence)

连贯的段落结构清晰,逻辑性强,过渡自然,使读者容易跟上作者的思路去理解其意图。

当然,做阅读理解Part B部分时还要考虑段际关系,即段落与段落之间的关系。段际关系可能是顺接关系、转折关系、例证关系或对比与对照关系。段际关系的理解是理解过渡句使用的前提条件。还有一种特殊的段际关系,即过渡关系,两个段落之间有一个过渡段起承上启下的作用。

三、了解常见的句际关系及语篇标识词

句际关系主要是考察空白处与前后句子之间的逻辑关系。句子与句子之间的关系可能是显性的,也可能是隐性的。显性的句际关系有明显的标志词出现,这会给考生理解文章的发展脉络带来很大方便。句际关系主要有以下几种:

1.顺接关系(顺承关系或并列关系):后句是前句的延续或补充,标识词主要有then, after that, furthermore, also, when(this happens)等。

2.转折关系:前后两句意思相反,标识词通常有but, however, nevertheless, (al)though, in fact等。

3.例证关系:即论据对于论点的论证关系。典型标识词是for example, for instance, take...as an example等。

4.因果关系:前因后果,或前果后因。可能出现的标识词有for, as a result, as a consequence, consequently, therefore, accordingly等。

5.对比、对照关系:对比关系说明前后内容的相同之处,可能出现similarly, like等标志词;对照关系则说明前后内容的不同之处,标识词通常有as a contrast, on the contrary, on the one hand...on the other hand等。

四、理解文章中词汇的语义特征上文提到了从整体把握文章的命脉。另外,文章中的某些关键词也能为考生提供线索。在选择时,尽量往这些关键词上“靠”,可以避免离题太远。以下三类词的作用不容忽视:(一)名词表主题When it comes to the slowing economy,

Ellen Spero isn’t biting her nails just yet. But the 47year old manicurist isn’t cutting, filing or polishing as many nails as she’d like to, either. Most of her clients spend $12 to $50 weekly, but last month two longtime customers suddenly stopped showing up. Spero blames the softening econo my. “I’m a good economic indicator”, she says. “I provide a service that people can do without when they’re concerned about saving some dollars.” So Spero is downscaling, shopping at middle brow Di llard’s department store near her suburban Cleveland home, instead of Neiman Marcus. “I don’t know if other clients are going to abandon me, too,”she says.文中的这些名词为考生提供了一条主线,即使没完全读懂,但通过这些名词考生也可以确定这是一篇与经济有关的文章,每句话都没离开这个主题。可以设想一下,如果把其中的任何一句删去,然后让考生选择后补上,在遵循以“经济”为线索的前提下都是很容易解决的。也就是说这些名词表明了这篇文章的主题。

(二)动词表变化All of this caused a crisis of confidence. Americans stopped taking prosperity for granted. They began to believe that their way of doing business was failing, and that their incomes would therefore shortly begin to fall as well. The mid1980s brought one inquiry after another into the causes of America’s industrial decline. Their sometimes sensational findings were filled with warnings about the growing competition from overseas.动词是各种变化最明显的体现,它可以表明文中所述情况的变化、作者态度的变化以及情感的变化等。本段文字中,先不看其它文字,只看这些关键的动词“caused”、“stopped”、“began to believe”、“begin to fall”、“decline”就可以表明这是一种由好到坏或由坏到好的变化,再结合其他部分可以更加肯定这一点,因为文中所述正是关于美国经济引发的一场信任危机,以及这场危机给人们带来的情感及经济方面的变化。

(三)形容词表态度Even before Alan Greenspan’s admission that America’s red

hot economy is cooling, lots of working folks had already seen signs of the slowdown themselves. From car dealerships to Gap outlets, sales have been lagging for months as shoppers temper their spending. For retailers, who last year took in 24 percent of their revenue between Thanksgiving and Christmas, the cautious approach is coming at a crucial time. Already, experts say, holiday sales are off 7 percent from last year’s pace. But don’t sound any alarms just yet. Consumers seem only mildly concerned, not panicked, and many say they remain optimistic about the e conomy’s long term prospects even as they do some modest belt tightening.在阅读理解Part A部分经常会遇到表明作者态度的题,同样,在Part B部分如果能明确把握作者的态度对解题也是很关键的,而形容词是最能体现作者态度的关键词。以此段为例,前半部分都是关于美国经济不景气的描述,如果只看到这些,一定会认为下文也应该是一些消极方面的描述。但其实本段的关键在后面,消费者的“only mildly concerned”和“not panic ked”以及最明显的一个形容词“optimistic”都与前面的情况形成鲜明的对比,表明了作者的态度。如果在此段后设题进行选择,考生就不得不考虑这些因素了。

五、掌握词汇和语法的衔接

词汇或语法衔接(cohesion)指篇章中通过语法手段或不同的词汇形式以达到语义上的衔接连贯,这种联系表现为以下几种:

(一)重复(reiteration)1.原词的重复,又叫原词复现,指同一主题词或关键词的重复出现。2.同义或近义词的衔接,又叫同义复现,指同义词、近义词重复出现在语篇中,语篇中的句子通过这种关系达到了相互衔接。坐标词与下义词的衔接,上坐标词是指那些意义较概括的词,它们的词义包括了下义词的词义,如bird就是swallow的上坐标词。上坐标词与下义词在语篇中相互衔接。

(二)共现(co occurrence):又叫搭配性衔接(collocation cohesion),意指一系列相关的词项在篇章中的经常共现。搭配性衔接对语言信息的生成和解释均有一定的指导作用,有助于对篇章的潜在的语义演进(semantic evolution)做出预测和推测(anticipation and prediction)。

(三)替代(substitution):语篇中的代词构成了替代衔接关系,一般而言,one指代前面的单数可数名词;that指代前面的不可数名词或句子;this指代前面的单数名词或句子;it指代前面的单数名词或整个句子;they或them指代前面的复数名词

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(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

2020年考研英语阅读理解模拟试题:医学(4)

2020年考研英语阅读理解模拟试题:医学(4) It is a startling claim, but one that Congresswoman Deborah Pryce uses to good effects: the equivalent of two classrooms full of children are diagnosed with cancer every day. Mrs. Pryce lost her own 9-year-old daughter to cancer in 1999. Pediatric cancer remains a little-understood issue in America, where the health-care debate is consumed with the ills, pills and medical bills of the elderly. Cancer kills more children than any other disease in MERICA. 1) although there have been tremendous gains in cancer survival rates in recent decades, the proportion of children and teens diagnosed with different forms of the disease increased by almost a third between 1975 and 2001. 2) Grisly though these statistics are, they are still tiny when set beside the number of adult lives lost to breast cancer (41,000 each year) and lung cancer (164,000)。Adbocates foor more money for child cancer prefer to look at life-years lost, the average age for cancer diagnosis in a young child is six, while the average adult is diagnosed in their late 60s. Robert Arceci, a pediatric cancer export at Johns Hopkins, points out that in terms of total life-years saved, the benefit from curing pediatric cancer victims is roughly the same as curing adults with breast cancer. There is an obvious element of special pleading in such calculations, all the same, breast cancer has attracted a flurry of publicity, private fund-raising and money from government. Childhood cancer has received less attention and cash. Pediatric cancer, a term which covers people up to 20

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.

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

考研英语个阅读题答题技巧毙考题

2017考研英语:57个阅读题答题技巧 距离2017年考研初试已经只剩一个多月的时间,各位考生在这段时间需要做得很重要的一件事就是练习真题,研究答题技巧。下面小编为大家整理了2017考研英语阅读题答题技巧,以供大家参考。 在考研英语中,阅读是一个拉分大项,也是难度较大的题目,因此同学们在复习的过程中应将答题技巧融合在复习过程中,下面是英语阅读的57个答题技巧。 1、原句重复出现,200%错。正确的都是有改动的,即同意替换。 2、文章是按顺序出题的。你要觉得不是,就是你做错了。 3、选项中意思完全相反的2个选项,其中之一是对的。(要有这个意识)。 4、就一般而言,some people,表作者不认同的观点。few people,表作者的观点。 5、用文章里举例的句子来作为选项,直接排除。200%错。(要有能辨别这个选项是不是文章中例子的能力)。 6、某某人说的话,或者是带引号的,一定要高度重视。尤其是在段落的后半部分。很有可能就是某个问题的同意替换。即题眼。 7、有的时候,一句话可以设2个问题。不过这种情况很少出现了,非常少。 8、文章基本以5段为主(也有6段、7段的),要把握每段之间的关系。一般来说,一段一个题,只是一般来说喔。 9、一篇文章总会有5、6+个长难句,且总会在这里设问题。所以,长难句必须要拿下! 10、每段的第一句很重要。尤其总分结构的段。有的时候第一句话就是题眼。考研英语,总分结构或者总分总的段落很多。

11、若文章首段以why为开头的,这里若设题的话,选项里有because的,往往就是正确选项。不过这种类型的题,很少见了。 12、有时候每段的第一句话,仅仅是一个表述。而在第2或3句以后,会出现对比或者转折。一般来说,转折后面的是作者的态度。你要注意的是,作者对什么进行了转折。那个关键词你要找出来。 13、在应该出现答案的地方,没有答案。接着往下读。答案可能会在下一段的开头部分。因为文章都是接着说的。要有连贯性。这和7选5的技巧有些相似。不过这种情况并不多见。 14、一个长句看不懂,接着往下看,下一句可能是这个长句的解释说明。是的话,这的地方可能会出题。出的话,答案就在这附近。而实际情况是,文章在谈论某个问题或提出某个观点时,有时会再做进一步的解释说明。这种情况下,这里往往会设问题。不过,这种情况很少见了。 15、有些句子仅仅是解释补充,或者是起过渡作用的。这样句子的特点是,句子比较短。注意,答案一般不会在这儿出现。选项中出现,肯定是干扰项。你要知道的是,同意替换的句子,大都是长难句。一些作为过渡的句子,不可能是答案。在你读不懂的情况下,要有这个判断力。 16、正确选项都是原文中的个别几个词的同义替换。阅读理解历年的所有真题,都是同意替换!就看你能不能找得到。考研英语,考的就是这个!那个关键词,就看你找没找得到,不管是什么类型的题。 17、每一个问题,在原文中,都要有一个定位。然后精读,找出那个中心句或者关键词。要抓文章的中心主旨和各段落的大意,阅读理解考的就是这个中心句。 18、选项中的几个单词,是该段中不同句子里的单词拼凑的,有时看上去很舒服,注意,干扰项。还有从不同的段落里的词拼凑到一起的,直接排除。总之,选项的单词是拼凑的,肯定错。 19、一定要注意文章中句子的宾语部分,尤其是长难句中主干的宾语。上面说了,考研英语大都是长难句里设题。你要知道的是,长难句里,最可能是出题的就是句子的主干部分!主干的主语、宾语是什么,一定要知道。正确选项的题眼往往就在这儿。当然,还有一些起修饰、限定作用的词,一定要看仔细。小心陷阱。

2014考研英语阅读冲刺练习 模拟测试及答案(3)

2014考研英语阅读冲刺练习模拟测试 及答案(3) Passage Those who welcomed the railway saw it as more than a rapid and comfortable means of passing. They actually saw it as afactor in world peace. They did not foresee that the railway would be just one more means for the rapid movement of aggressive armies. None of them foresaw that the more weare together-the more chances there are of war. Any boy or girl who is one of a large family knows that. Whenever any new invention is put forward, those for it and those against it can always find medical men to approve or condemn. The anti-railway group produced doctors who said that tunnels would be most dangerous to public health: they would produce colds, catarrhs (粘膜炎) and consumptions. The deafening noise and the glare of the engine fire, would have a bad effect on the nerves. Further, being moved through the air at a high speed would do grave injury to delicate lungs. In those with high blood-pressure, the movement of the train might produce apoplexy (中风). The sudden plunging of a train into the darkness of a tunnel, and the equally sudden rush into full daylight, would cause great damage to eyesight. But the pro-railway group was of course able to produce equally famous medical men to say just the opposite. They said that the speed and swing of the train would equalize the circulation, promote digestion, tranquilize the nerves, and ensure good sleep. The actual rolling-stock was anything but comfortable. If it was a test of endurance to sit for four hours outside a coach in rain, or inside in dirty air, the railway offered little more in the way of comfort. Certainly the first-class carriages had cushioned seats; but the second-class had only narrow bare boards, while the third-class had nothing at all; no seats and no roof; they were just open trucks. So that third-class passengers gained nothing from the few mode except speed. In the matter of comfort, indeed they lost; they did, on the coaches, have a seat, but now they had to stand all the way, which gave opportunities to the comic (滑

2013年考研英语阅读理解练习(十)

Passage 10 The poverty line is the minimum income that people need for an acceptable standard of living. People with incomes below the poverty line are considered poor. Economists study the causes of poverty in order to find solutions to the problem. As the general standard of living in the country rises, the poverty line does, too. Therefore, even with today's relatively high standard of living, about 10 percent of the people in the United States are below the poverty line. However, if these people had stable jobs, they could have an acceptable standard of living. Economists suggest several reasons why poor people do not have jobs. For one thing, more than half of the poor people in the United States are not qualified to work. Over 40 percent of the poor people are children. By law, children less than 16 years old cannot work in many industries. A large number of poor people are old. Many companies do not hire people over 65 years old, the normal retirement age. Some poor adults do not look for jobs for a variety of personal reasons: they are sick, they do not have any motivation(动力). they have family problems, or they do not believe that they can find a job. Other poor people look for a job but cannot find one. Many poor adults never went to high school. Therefore, when they look for jobs, they have few skills that they can offer. At the present time, the government thinks it can reduce poverty in the country in the following ways. First, if the national economy grows, businesses and industries hire more workers. Some of the poor who are qualified to look for jobs may find employment. Then they will no longer be below the poverty line. Second, if society invests in the poor, the poor will become more productive. If the government spends money on social programs, education, and training for poor people, the poor will have the skills to offer. Then it is more likely that they can find jobs. Finally, if the government distributes society's income differently, it raises some poor people above the poverty line. The government collects taxes from the non-poor and gives money to the poor. These payments to the poor are called welfare. In 1975 over 18 million people in the United States received welfare.

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”
