2017考研英语：准确把握句间逻辑关系巧解题

2017考研英语：准确把握句间逻辑关系巧解题考研英语阅读对同学们的阅读能力要求较高：要求考生对所读阅读材料能够理解文章的总体结构以及上下文之间的关系。有时，要想做对一道阅读题目，不仅要把区间找对，而且需要把握好区间与上下文之间、文章主旨之间的逻辑关系。否则单从区间的一两句话不能正确选出答案。下面我们通过2003年阅读理解中的第二篇文章详细讲解一下如何通过把握句间逻辑关系正确解题。

这一篇文章的主题是动物权利，文章以名人名言开篇，阐述了动物权利倡导者的言论蒙蔽了公众，使他们不了解生物医学研究的真实情况和意义，从而盲目地反对医学研究。作者由此呼吁科学家应加强与公众沟通交流，避免无知阻碍生物医学的发展。

我们来看一下第一个问题：

36. The author begins his article with Edmund Burke’s words to ________.

[A] call on scientists to take some actions

[B] criticize the misguided cause of animal rights

[C] warn of the doom of biomedical research

[D] show the triumph of the animal rights movement

通过题干中的关键词begins，Edmund Burke’s words可以判断出题目考查文章开篇引用名言的目的，从而判断出题目的答案区间为第一自然段。（1.To paraphrase 18th-century statesman Edmund Burke, “all that is needed for the triumph of a misguided cause is that good people do nothing.”2.One such cause now seeks to end biomedical research because of the theory that animals have rights ruling out their use in research. 3.Scientists need to respond forcefully to animal rights advocates, whose arguments are confusing the public and thereby

threatening advances in health knowledge and care. 4.Leaders of the animal rights movement target biomedical research because it depends on public funding, and few people understand the process of health care research.

5.Hearing allegations of cruelty to animals in research settings, many are perplexed that anyone would deliberately harm an animal.）从文章第一句话我们得知：一个被误导的事业如果要成功，它唯一需要的是好人无所作为；另外可以推断出作者对cause的态度是消极的，因为修饰cause的词语是misguided（误导的）。这是文章的开篇，通过引用名人名言的方式提出了本文将要论述的主题，也给我们留下了悬疑。例如，本文中的被误导的事业是什么呢？好人指的是谁呢？既然作者留下了悬疑，必然会通过下文的论述进行解惑。下面我们来看看下文是如何展开论述的。先看第二句One such cause对应的是one misguided cause，即end biomedical research的cause是misguided,可见作者对这项cause是反对的。接着看第三句科学家应该对动物权利鼓吹者做出强有力的回应，也就是说为了不让end biomedical research的cause得逞，需要good people也就是scientists采取行动，即respond forcefully to animal rights advocates。这样第一段第二三句话就和第一句话联系起来了，即all that is needed for the triumph of the cause to end biomedical research is that scientists do nothing。根据作者对这项misguided cause的消极态度，我们可以判定scientists need to do something. 结合选项内容，作者引用名人名言是为了号召科学家采取行动，即A为正确选项。而B（批判动物权利这一被误导的事业）不是作者的目的，作者写本文的目的是呼吁科学家采取行动，从文章第三四段所论述的内容（科学家在反misguided cause的过程中需要做的事情）也可以得出此结论。

通过以上解题过程的分析，我们可以看到在考研英语中，要想正确选择答案，需要

具备解读句子之间内在逻辑关系的能力，并且弄清文章各句是如何支持呼应文章主旨

的，只有这样从宏观和微观上做到准确的理解和把握，才能准确无误的解题。

2018考研英语一答案

2018年全国硕士研究生入学统一考试英语(一)试题答案详解 注意：英语试卷为花卷，以答案内容进行核对 整理：凯程中传果酱老师 Section I Use of English 1、【答案】[B]for 【解析】此处考察介词的用法。it’s a necessary condition____many worthwhile things(信任是一个必要条件_____许多重要事情)此处应该是说，信任对许多重要事情来说是一个必要条件。B选项for(对...来说)符合语义，故为正确答案;A选项from(来自于)，C选项like(像...)，D选项on(关于)语义不恰当，故排除。 2、【答案】[C]faith 【解析】此处考察词义辨析和中心一致性原则。第一段首句提出主题句：trust is a tricky business(信任是一个奇怪的东西)。后面进一步对该主题句进行解释说明：On the one hand, it’s a necessary condition___for___many worthwhile things:child care,friendships,etc.(一方面，信任对许多重要事情来说是必要条件，比如照看孩子，友谊等)，这句话在说信任的好处。On the other hand,putting your___in the wrong place often carries a high____.(另一方面，把...放在错误的地方往往会带来巨大...)，显然这句话依旧在解释主题词“trust”，只有C选项faith(信任、忠诚)与trust属于近义词复现，故正确答案为[C]faith。 3、【答案】[B]price 【解析】此处考察词义辨析。第一段首句提出主题句：trust is a tricky business(信任是一个奇怪的东西)。后面进一步对该主题句进行解释说明：On the one hand,it’s a necessary condition__for__many worthwhile things:child care,friendships,etc.(一方面，信任对许多重要事情来说是必要条件，比如照看孩子，友谊等)，这句话在说信任的好处。On the other hand, putting your___in the wrong place often carries a high____.(另一方面，把...放在错误的地方往往会带来巨大...)，显然这句话依旧在解释主题词“trust”，并且根据空格所在句中的关键词“wrong place”，本句应该在说信任不当的弊端，所以空格处应该填入一个负向感情色彩的词，故A选项benefit和D选项hope排除，而C选项debt(债务)带入之后语义不当，故正确答案为[B]price(代价)。

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。

2020年考研英语阅读理解模拟试题：医学(18)

2020年考研英语阅读理解模拟试题：医学（18） It was a big week for Alzheimer's disease， and not just because PBS aired The Forgetting， a first-rate documentary about Alzheimer's worth catching in reruns if you missed it the first time. There was also a flurry of scientific news that offered hope to the families already struggling with Alzheimer's， as well as to the baby-boom generation that's up next. Unless something dramatic happens， the number of Americans living with this terrifying brain disease could triple， to about 16 million， over the next 50 years. There's still no cure in sight， but there is progress on several fronts. Among them： MEGADOSE VITAMINS Doctors knew vitamins E and C， both antioxidants， help stave off Alzheimer's， at least in folks who haven't already developed the disorder. What they didn't know——but a big study involving 4，740 participants published in the Archives of Neurology showed——was that the two vitamins taken together in huge daily doses （at least 400 IU of E and more than 500 mg of C） could reduce the risk of Alzheimer's a remarkable 78%. COMBINATION THERAPY A yearlong study of more than 400 Alzheimer's patients showed that two drugs that work differently on the brain's chemistry act well together to help slow down the disease. Patients who were being treated with donepezil （sold as Aricept）， an older drug that preserves the neurotransmitter acetylcholine， were also given memantine （Namenda）， a new drug approved by the FDA last October that blocks overproduction of a harmful brain chemical called glutamate. The two drugs worked even better

2018年可锐考研英语阅读真题范文

2018年可锐考研英语阅读真题范文（七） Don’t shoot the messenger They poison the mind and corrupt the morals of the young, who waste their time sitting on sofas immersed in dangerous fantasy worlds. That, at least, was the charge levelled against novels during the 18th century by critics worried about the impact of a new medium on young people. Today the idea that novels can harm people sounds daft. And that is surely how history will judge modern criticism of video games, which are accused of turning young people into violent criminals. This week European justice ministers met to discuss how best to restrict the sale of violent games to children. Some countries, such as Germany, believe the answer is to ban some games altogether. That is going too far. Criticism of games is merely the latest example of a tendency to demonise new and unfamiliar forms of entertainment. In 1816 waltzing was condemned as a fatal contagion that encouraged promiscuity; in 1910 films were denounced as an evil pure and simple, destructive of social interchange in the 1950s rock ’n’roll music was said to turn young people into devil worshippers and comic books were accused of turning children into drug addicts and criminals. In each case the pattern is the same: young people adopt a new form of entertainment, older people are spooked by its unfamiliarity and condemn it, but eventually the young grow up and the new medium becomes accepted-at which point another example appears and the cycle begins again. The opposition to video games is founded on the mistaken belief that most gamers are children. In fact, twothirds of gamers are over 18 and the average gamer is around 30. But the assumption that gamers are mostly children leads to a double standard. Violent films are permitted and the notion that some films are unsuitable for children is generally understood. Yet different rules are applied to games. Aren’t games different because they are interactive? It is true that video games can make people feel excited or aggressive, but so do many sports. There is no evidence that videogaming causes longterm aggression. Games ought to be agerated, just as films are, and retailers should not sell adultrated games to children any more than they should sell them adultrated films. Ratings schemes are already in place, and in some countries restrictions on the sale of adultrated games to minors have the force of law. Oddly enough, Hillary Clinton, one of the politicians who has led the criticism of the gaming industry in America, has recently come round to this view. Last month she emphasised the need for parents to pay more attention to game ratings and called on the industry, retailers and parents to work together. But this week some European politicians seemed to be moving in the other direction: the Netherlands may follow Germany, for example, in banning some games outright. Not all adults wish to play violent games, just as not all of them enjoy violent movies. But they should be free to do so if they wish. 二． Doughnut adjust your set HAVE you ever seen anything on television that made you shout or shake your fist in anger at the screen? Televisions are, of course, unable to respond to such reactions. But that could be
