2011考研英语历年真题来源报刊阅读100篇

《2011考研英语历年真题来源报刊阅读100篇》《2011考研英语历年真题来源报刊阅读100篇》考研英语，阅读为重，而阅读之难，是大家普遍感受到的。为什么大多数同学都做不完考研英语的试卷?因为这些阅读的文章都不是我们平时所能见到的文章。其难度、观点的展开方式、用词和表达等等，都具有十分特别的特征。纵观最近几年的考研英语真题，不难发现以下一个事实：历年考研英语阅读理解文章的来源选择是非常有规律的，每年的考研文章绝大多数来自英美国家的报刊杂志。根据这个规律，那么广大考生在平时复习考研英语的时候，在选择阅读的材料上就有了很强的目的性，这样对我们广大考生来说也会起到事半功倍的效果。国外常见的报刊杂志按照类型进行归类总结：1、经济类文章主要来源：The Economist(经济学家)，Business Week(商业周刊)，Wall Street Journal(华尔街杂志)；2、科学技术类文章主要来源：Nature(自然)，Discovery(探索)，Science(科学)，National Geographic(国家地理)，Scientific American(科学美国人)，New Scientists(新科学家)；

3、社会生活以及文化类文章主要来源：Newsweek(新闻周刊)，Time(时代周刊)，U.S.News and World Report(美国新闻与世界报道)，The Washington Post(华盛顿邮报)，USA Today(今日美国)，The Times(泰晤士报)，The Guardian(卫报)，The World Report(世界报道)，New York Post(纽约邮报)；

4、其他来源：Independent(独立日报)，International Herald Tribune(国际先驱论坛)，Telegraph(英国电信日报)。在此，我们再次对历年考研英语阅读文章来源进行总结，发现规律：1、以5年内的国外报刊杂志文章为主：在绝大多数情况下，历年考研真题的文章来源一般控制在过去的5年之内，即倘若要参加2011年考研的话，2011年的文章一般来自于2004年到2009年之间的报刊杂志上，当然历史上也有少部分文章不受年份的限制。这时我们阅读的范围就小了很多。2、文章字数在450-600左右：我们在整理以上统计数据过程中，很容易发现历年考研英语真题文章字数一般在350-500字之间，段落上一般控制在3到6个段落。由于考研命题组一般会对国外文章进行修改，所以说，符合以下条件的国外报刊杂志是我们选择的目标：文章字数在450-650字，段落在3-7个，年份在近5年之内。这样一来我们就把复习的范围大大减小了。3、以这四本国外报刊杂志为主：通过分析2005-2009年这5年的考研阅读来源文章，我们发现，80%以上文章来自于The Economist(经济学家)、Newsweek(新闻周刊)，Time(时代周刊)以及U.S News and World Report(美国新闻与世界报道)四本杂志。因此，我们可以再次将复习范围缩小，根据不完全统计，2007年The Economist(经济学家)全年60多期杂志里，符合考研阅读理解命题文章要求的平均每期不超过3篇，像其他的三本杂志也是如此的情况，符合考研阅读要求的也不是很多。所以，只要我们精心地把此处提及的符合考查要求的文章挑选出来进行精读，那就是最好的考研阅读材料。于是，用大量的时间为同学们做这样一件有意义的事情，必然能够为正苦恼于英语复习的同学带来很多好处。在此深深感谢为此书作出巨大贡献的好友程涵晗同志的鼎力相助！本书分为上下篇：考研英语历年真题来源报刊阅读实战模拟篇和考研英语历年真题来源报刊阅读能力拓展篇。上篇为实战模拟篇，包括40篇考研英语来源报刊阅读。作为精读材料，每篇文章除配有全文精译和考研核心词汇的学习外，还配备了考研英语标准化阅读理解题。根据《2010年全国硕士研究生入学统一考试英语考试大纲》，要求考生约在110分钟内完成5篇阅读理解文章含25道阅读理解题。本篇根据大纲要求，模拟考研英语真题模式，科学研究考研英语标准化阅读理解题，共分为8个单元，每单元5篇文章，每篇文章配有标准化阅读理解题。根据《2010年全国硕士研究生入学统一考试英语考试大纲》及历年真题出题思路，阅读理解考查共包含如下十种题型：细节事实题、词汇题、句子理解

解考研英语的选材、内容。《2011考研英语高分策《2011考研英语高分策略-阅读专项特训88篇》考研英语阅读的阅读材料体裁大致可分为三类：议论文、说明文与记叙文，其中观点鲜明、态度明确，具有争议性的议论文占据比重最大。众所周知，历年考研阅读理解文章全部取自英美语料库，并且几乎全是时事性很强的文献资料。若想轻松读懂它们，只能"不入虎穴，焉得虎子"。本书的阅读材料参考了多种资料，包括《时代周刊》、《新闻周刊》、《纽约时报》、《华尔街日报》、《金融时报》等国内外权威刊物、历年考研真题以及近年来出版的各种考研辅导书与各类教学用书。文章体裁选材范围广泛，包括社会文化、科普常识、历史地理、日常生活知识、人物传记等社会科学和自然科学领域的内容。本书的资料经过长期的筛选、提炼，积淀下来的应该是精华部分，对锻炼考生的阅读能力是有所裨益的。效率来自专心，英语学习不光要用脑，还要有耐心与恒心。练好阅读能力没有捷径，冰冻三尺非一日之寒，读得多自然能悟出窍门，掌握阅读技巧。想要在考研英语阅读理解上拿到高分，仅仅达到"读懂阅读材料"还远远不够，只有懂得"如何答题"才能彻底攻克阅读理解这一分数比例较大的题型。练习题是读者理解文章主旨及作者观点和态度的考核。做好练习题，首先要掌握阅读理解的命题规律，搞清阅读理解试题有哪些类型，每一种类型的特征是什么，易从什么地方出题，正确选项有什么特点，干扰选项又有什么特点。本书凝结了编者多年积累的应试辅导经验，提出了有效的解题思路、方法与技巧，不仅以大量实例进行说明，而且提供了大量实战练习供读者演练，以求取得实效。答案解析精辟，详略得当，让考生困惑的难题力争做到抽丝剥茧、详细阐述，而一般试题则阐述清晰、点到为止，引导读者走上考研的成功之路。相信考生在深入了解了考研阅读题型特点和解题技巧，并进行充分的练习后，一定可以从容应对考研阅读考试。《2011考研英语高分策一、文章一般来源1、西方报刊杂志2、西方中学或大学教科书3、中国的英语报刊杂志四篇文章全部选自英语国家文献资料，而且主要是报刊杂志，所以这些文章较有时效性，如两三年前的杂志文章常被选做考试文章。这类杂志包括Economist，Newsweek，Time和US News and World Report等，其中Economist 为重点杂志。以2005年的文章为例，其中第一篇选自Economist，第三篇选自Newsweek，第四篇选自Economist。第三个来源派生于前两个来源，即原文来自前两种，但是中国的英语杂志，如《英语文摘》、《英语世界》等刊出了原文的英汉对照版本。例如，2006年考研英语阅读部分的第四篇文章The Art of Unhappiness发表于《时代》(2005年1月17日)，但《英语文摘》05年第7期上刊出了此文英汉对照的版本。由此可知，如果无时间读原文刊物，读一些相关文章的英汉对照版本也可以。二、近年文章来源汇总2006 Text 2Inside Meaning.Michael Swan.Cambridge University Press.The Observer.(《观察家报》)Text 3Ocean's eleventh hour.Economist.(《经济学人》，2003年5月15日)Text 4The Art of Unhappiness.Time.(《时代》，2005年1月17日)2005 Text 1Fair and

Square.Economist.(《经济学人》，2003年9月18日)Text 2Washington Post.(《华盛顿邮报》时事评论)Text 3Taking Control.Newsweek.(《新闻周刊》，2002年7月15日)Text 4Talking Down.Economist.(《经济学人》，2004年1月29日)2004 Text 1Putting the Net to https://www.wendangku.net/doc/90452571.html, News&World Report.(《美国新闻与世界报道》，1997年10月27日)Text 2As easy as ZYX.Economist.(《经济学人》，2001年8月30日)Text 3What's aShopper to Do?Newsweek.(《新闻周刊》，2000年12月18日美国版)Text 4Nurturing the Life of the Mind.ASBJ(2001年1月美国学校董事会杂志)2003 Text 1Spies Like Us.Time.(《时代》，1999年1月25日)Text 2Scientist.(《科学家》，1998年11月20日)Text 4The Best Health

Care Goes Only So Far.Newsweek(《新闻周刊》，2001年8月27日)2002 Text 3Oil's Pleasant Surprise.Economist.(《经济学人》，1999年11月27日)Text 4High Point Enterprise.(1999年9月13日)由上可知，Economist、Newsweek和Time等是比较重要的杂志，因为它们常成为考研阅读文章的来源。三、题材偏重四篇文章的内容涉及社会科学、自然科学和人文科目各个领域的知识，其中社会科学所占比重较大，自然科学所占比重不大，人文科学近来有增加的趋势。社会科学常涉及的领域有经济学、心理学、社会学、教育学、传播学等，但政治科学、国际政治一般不涉及。自然科学主要涉及医学、生物学、工程和科学史等。人文科学主要涉及文学评论、语言、杂文和散文等。四、06阅读文章特点1.时效性强。06年所选文章距离考试的时间比前几年的文章更新。所以要多关注上述杂志上近两三年以及考前一年的时文。2.结构清晰。由于结构清晰，问题的数量和顺序与原文对应较好。3.具体内容。06年阅读理解文章的内容和结构如下：Text 1社会科学。文章结构：一枝独秀型。本文主要论述了美国文化的同化(homogenizing/assimilation)力。Text 2社会科学(经济类)。文章结构：花开两朵型。本文主要论述了莎士比亚故居当地居民与皇家莎士比亚公司(RSC)之间在经济发展和地方产业方面的矛盾。Text 3自然科学(科技类)。文章结构：一枝独秀型。本文主要论述海洋鱼类的过度捕捞使得大型鱼类锐减这一问题。Text 4人文科学。文章结构：花开两朵型。文中对比了过去和现在人们的处境以及对快乐的感觉。

2019考研英语阅读：历年真题选项的n个特点

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

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。

考研英语历年阅读理解真题精析

考研英语历年阅读理解真题精析--2006年 Part One In spite of “endless talk of difference,” American society is an amazing machine for homogenizing people. This is “the democratizing uniformity of dress and discourse, and the casualness and absence of consumption “launched by the 19th –century department stores that offered ‘vast arrays of goods in an elegant atmosphere. Instead of intimate shops catering to a knowledgeable elite.” these were stores “anyone could enter, regardless of class or background. This turned shoppin g into a public and democratic act.” The mass media, advertising and sports are other forces for homogenization. Immigrants are quickly fitting into this common culture, which may not be altogether elevating but is hardly poisonous. Writing for the Natio nal Immigration Forum, Gregory Rodriguez reports that today’s immigration is neither at unprecedented level nor resistant to assimilation. In 1998 immigrants were percent of population; in 1900, percent. In the 10 years prior to 1990, immigrants arrived for every 1,000 residents; in the 10 years prior to 1890, for every 1,000. Now, consider three indices of assimilation------language, home ownership and intermarriage. The 1990 Census revealed that “a majority of immigrants from each of the fifteen mos t common countries of origin spoke English “well” or “very well” after ten years of residence.” The children of immigrants tend to be bilingual and proficient in English. “By the third generation, the original language is lost in the majority of immigrant families.” Hence the description of America as a graveyard” for language. By 1996 foreign-born immigrants who had arrive before 1970 had a home ownership rate of percent, higher than the percent rate among native-born Americans. Foreign-born Asians and Hispanics “have higher rates of intermarriage than do whites and blacks.” By the third generation, one third of Hispanic women are married to non-Hispanics, and 41 percent of Asian-American women are married to non-Asians. Rodriguez not that children in remote villages around world are fans of superstars like Amold Schwarzenegger and Garth Brooks, yet “some Americans fear that immigrant living within the United States remain somehow immune to the nation’s assimilative power.”

考研英语历年阅读理解真题精析--1999年part1

考研英语历年阅读理解真题精析--1999年part1 Unit 6 Part One It's a rough world out there. Step outside and you could break a leg slipping on your doormat. Light up the stove and you could burn down the house. Luckily, if the doormat or stove failed to warn of coming disaster, a successful lawsuit might compensate you for your troubles. Or so the thinking has gone since the early 1980s, when juries began holding more companies liable for their customers' misfortunes. Feeling threatened, companies responded by writing ever-longer warning labels, trying to anticipate every possible accident. Today, stepladders carry labels several inches long that warn, among other things, that you might - surprise! - fall off. The label on a child's Batman cape cautions that the toy "does not enable user to fly." 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. About 50 percent of the companies lose when injured customers take them to court. 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.

知识产权-对专利制度对症下药 ON AUGUST 15th Google bid $12.5 billion for Motorola Mobility, a troubled American maker of mobile phones. If the purchase goes through, it will be Google’s largest ever acquisition, almost doubling the size of its workforce. The attraction for the internet giant is not the handset-maker’s 19,000 employees nor its 11% share of America’s smartphone market, but its portfolio of 17,000 patents, with another 7,500 in the pipeline. This will bolster Google’s puny arsenal of around 2,000 patents, hugely strengthening its position in current and future legal battles with its more heavily armed industry rivals. Having been defeated in a recent auction of patents belonging to Nortel, a defunct Canadian telecoms firm, Google was clearly desperate to win Motorola’s portfolio: its offer valued the company’s shares at a 63% premium over their closing price the previous Friday evening. The basic idea of patents is a good one: an inventor is granted a limited monopoly (20 years, in America and elsewhere) over a technology in return for disclosing the details of its workings, so that others can build upon the invention. Advanced technologies are thus made widely available, rather than remaining trade secrets, spurring further innovation. In some industries, notably pharmaceuticals, it is doubtful that the huge investments needed to develop new products would be made without the prospect of patent protection. In recent years, however, the patent system has been stifling innovation rather than encouraging it. A study in 2008 found that American public companies’ total profits from patents (excluding pharmaceuticals) in 1999 were about $4 billion —but that the associated litigation costs were $14 billion. Such costs are behind the Motorola bid: Google, previously sceptical about patents, is caught up in a tangle of lawsuits relating to smartphones and wants Motorola’s huge portfolio to strengthen its negotiating position. What has gone wrong? The prizing of patent quantity rather than quality—lawyers are said to compare portfolios by measuring the heights of their respective piles —is one cause for concern. A second is the rise in dubious patents, particularly in the fields of software and business methods, that should never have been awarded. This leads to the third: the growing problem of “patent trolls”, or firms that treat patents as lottery tickets and file expensive, time-consuming lawsuits against companies that have supposedly infringed them. A patent-reform act is about to be passed in America, but it has been so watered down that it will fail to make much difference. Three much bolder reforms are needed.
