2020年考研英语二阅读理解答案及解析(海文版)

Section II Reading Comprehension

Part A

Text 1

21、【答案】[A] offered greater relaxation than the workplace

【解析】事实细节题。该题干问：之前的研究认为家是……。根据题干，该题答案定位在首段首句。首句大致意思为“一项新的研究表明，与绝绝大部分研究相反，实际上，人们在家里的压力要大于工作。”由此可知，以往的研究正好跟最新研究相反，即人们在家里的压力小于工作。纵观各选项，选项A意为：与工作场所相比，能提供更多的休闲;与文章表述一致，为准确答案。

22、【答案】[C ] childless husbands

【解析】事实细节题。文章第二段第三句和第四句提到“It is men not women, who report being happier at home than at work…, but more so for nonparents.”即“研究发现是男人，而不是女人，在家比在工作中更高兴。更令人吃惊的是，研究发现，这种情况对于有孩子和没有孩子都是这样，尤其是对于没有孩子的。”所以综合对比后，选择C。

23、【答案】[D] they are both bread winners and housewives

【解析】推理判断题。文章第三段中提到“For many men, the end o f the workday is …, with the blurring of role……”. 意思是“对于男人来说，一天的工作结束后，是他们休息的时候，但是对于女人来说，离开办公室之后，还有很多的家务活”。由此能够推出，“The blurring of working women’s roles” 指的是“既要在

职场打拼也要做很多家务的女性”。所以综合判定后确定D为准确答案。

24、【答案】[C] earnings

【解析】词义句意题。文章第四段第一句提出“在工作中，大家都知道挣钱，他们做工作就是为了家庭收入”。紧接着第二句给出“这些雇员付出体力和脑力的劳动，就是为了得到能够维持他们生活的必须收入”。结合上下文，moola应该对应原文中的“income”,表示他们挣得的收入。故C准确。

25、【答案】[A] division of labor at home is seldom

clear-cut

【解析】事实细节题。根据题干关键词“The home front”能够回文定位在原文最后一段。最后一段第一句指出“不过，人们对于大后方(家庭)就没有那么清楚了”，接下来的一句进一步指出“Rar e is the household in which the division of labor is so clinically…”(家务活的分工很少清清楚楚)，A项中的“seldom”同意置换原文中的“Rare”, “clear-cut”同意置换原文的“clinically”，故A项准确。

Text 2

26、【答案】[D] missed its original purpose

【解析】根据题干关键词recruiting more first-generation students回文定位到第一段的第四句，然后一一比对选项，“rather than close an achievement gap based on social class”排除选项B，选项A和C是无关选项，由第四句话中This has created “a paradox” in that recruiting first-generation students…与选项D “missed its original purpose”是同义替换，paradox的意思是“自相矛盾，似是而非的观点”，所以准确答案为D。

27、【答案】[C] the problem is solvable

【解析】根据题干信息“research article are optimistic because……”能够回文定位到文章第二段第一句“But the article is actually quite optimistic, as it outlines a potential solution to this problem”。As引导的原因状语从句是题干答案，跟C选“the problem is solvable”重合，所以选C。

28、【答案】[C] are in need of financial support

【解析】根据题干信息most first-generation students...定位第三段最后一句中，“most of first-generation students were recipients of Pell Grants(佩尔奖学金)，a federal grant for undergraduates with financial need",可知答案为C，其中in need of和with...need对应，financial support 和financial相对应。

29、【答案】[D] are inexperienced in handling their

issues at college

【解析】根据题干关键词the author of the paper回文定位到

文章第四段第一句“their thesis ...that face most college students”。这句话中明确说到第一代学生缺乏处理一些问题的实际

经验，与选项D语义相符，其中are inexperienced与原文的lacking in practical knowledge对应，handling their issues与how to deal with the issues对应，at college与that face most college students对应。

30、【答案】[B] colleges are partly responsible for the problem in question

【解析】根据题干关键词infer from the last paragraph回文

定位到文章最后一段，这是一个段落推理题，能够通过寻找段落中心

的方式来解。最后一段第一句和第二句是并列关系，均提出第一代学

生中存有的与社会阶层相关的问题。第三句以一个because所引导的

原因状语从句点明中心，明确该问题的来源是美国高校未承认社会阶

层对学生教育经历的影响，所以总结出来可知，选项B准确，说明出

现了相对应问题，高校应该担负一部分责任。

Text 3

31、【答案】[A]more emotional

【解析】细节题。题干中的office language对应文章中的

lingua franca of corporate(公司通用语)，题干中的has become对

应文章中的has gotten，所以答案对应文章中的more emotional and much more right-brained。所以答案A more emotional。本题的易错答案是 more objective。文章中的objectives是名词“目标，话题”的意思。

32、【答案】[C] sports culture

【解析】细节题。本题的答案能够从第二段的第二句到第四句中

得出。这几句话都是在举例子，作为论据出现来论证第一句话。第二

句话中出现了sports，第三句话中出现了coach和team，第四句话中

出现了coach和team，win，所有的这些词都与运动相关，所以答案选

C sports culture。

33、【答案】[D] strengthen employee loyalty

【解析】细节题。本题题干中还出现了believe这个观点动词，

根据题干中的importation of terminology能够定位到第三段的第二

句话，但是这句话属于论据，其论点是第一句话。本句中出现are intended to表示目的，对应题干中的aims to，句子出现了increase allegiance to the firm，对应D strengthen employee loyalty，表示“增强员工的忠诚度”。

34、【答案】[A] voices for working women

【解析】推理题。根据题干中的Lean In能够定位到第四段的第

二句话。这句话中出现了1990s和“mommy wars”也是明显的论据，

所以推理的核心论点是前面的第一句话。第一句话中出现了work-life balance，第二句话中出现了mommy wars，结合二者能够推理出这句话谈论的是工作中对于女性的不公平。所以答案选voices for working women(为职业女性申辩)。

35、【答案】[D] regular people mock it but accept it

【解析】细节题。根据题干的关键词能够定位到最后一段的第一

句话。要注意这句话的结构。本句是一个转折句，即使大家取笑

office speak，但是…。转折之后表示的是人们对它的认可，A Managers …avoid it态度与文章不符。B中的linguists 在文章中没有提到。C中的Companies find it to fundamental,属于推理过度，

文章说的是depend on，依靠并不说明fundamental根本的。

Text 4

36、【答案】[B] the increase of part-time jobs

【解析】本题为细节题。根据关键词“job pictures, neglected”能够回文定位到第二段第一句话“the jobs picture ...was largely overlooked”，其中neglected是overlooked的同义替换。并且此句

有明显的命题点“however”。第二句具体指出被忽略的部分是

“there was a big jump in the number of people who report voluntarily working part-time.”，即有大量的人自愿从事兼职工作。故准确答案为B。其中increase是原文jump的同义替换，voluntary part-time jobs是voluntarily working part-time的同

义转述。

37、【答案】[C] cannot get their hands on full-time jobs

【解析】根据题干中的关键词“many people work part-time”

能够定位到第二段第五句话“many people who work part-time jobs actually want full-time jobs”。由此句可知，那些从事兼职工作

的人实际想拥有全日制工作。接着第六句明确指出他们从事兼职工作

的原因：they take part-time because this is all they can get。言外之意是说，人们当前只能得到兼职工作，而无法获得全职工作。

故准确答案为C。

38、【答案】[B] shows a general tendency of decline

【解析】通过题干中的involuntary part-time employment能够

将该题定位在文章第二段。该段倒数第二句表明“这种非自愿参加兼

职工作在六月份是表现增长的，但是总趋势是下降的”。故B选项(表

现出一种普遍下降的趋势)准确。

39、【答案】[B] employment is no longer a precondition to get insurance

【解析】通过题干中with Obamacare能够将该题定位在全文最后

一句。该句表明，就业和保险之间不再相关联。而从上一句能够看出，之前很多人想要找一份提供保险的全职工作来养活自己和家人。可见，之前，就业就意味着能得到保险。而它们之间的关系不复存有，即雇

佣不再是得到保险的前提条件。可见，B选项准确。

40、【答案】[A] employment in the US

【解析】该题考察的是文章主旨大意。文章首段指出当前的失业

率表现出下降的趋势，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

准确。

Part B

41、【答案】[D] Most of your fears are unreal

【解析】本段中出现了多次词义复现，如Fear is not real以及fears are just the product of our luxuriant imagination(恐惧

仅仅丰富想象的产物)。Unfortunately转折后作者通过引用Will Smith的话以及自己的总结强调揭示了段落主题。

42、【答案】[E] Think about the present moment

【解析】该题所在段落平铺直叙，所以第一句话为段落中心句，

其中关键信息是focus on the present moment，与选项E主题词复现。下文中又多次复现了主题词，如value the present moment，moment

以及present。

43、【答案】[G] There are many things to be grateful for

【解析】该题的解题线索是主题词复现。段落中的appreciate，smile，value与grateful属于近义复现，cry和complain与

grateful是反义复现。

44、【答案】[A] You are not alone

【解析】段落首句出现了表达强烈语气的情态动词should，所以

主题句为首句，关键信息为you are not alone，与A选项匹配。

45、【答案】[C] Pave your own unique path

【解析】该段落主题句为“When you…you should believe in yourself and be sure that your decision is the best.”作者正

面提出了自己的观点“相信自己以及自己的决定是的”。下文进一步

阐释，其中own thoughts, own values 以及own choices构成了标题中的own unique path。

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

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。

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/bb16078819.html,/

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。

考研英语二阅读理解试题及答案

考研英语二阅读理解试题及答案 英语二阅读原文及出处： Text 1 In an essay, entitled “Making It in America,” in the latest issue of The Atlantic, the author Adam Davidson relates a joke from cotton country about just how much a modern textile mill has been automated: The average mill has only two employees today, “a man and a dog. The man is there to feed the dog, and the dog is there to keep the man away from the machines。” Davidson’s article is one of a number of pieces that have recently appeared making the point that the reason we have such stubbornly high unemployment and sagging middle-class incomes today is largely because of the big drop in demand because of the Great Recession, but it is also because of the quantum advances in both globalization and the information technology revolution, which are more rapidly than ever replacing labor with machines or foreign workers。 In the past, workers with average skills, doing an average job, could earn an average lifestyle. But, today, average is officially over. Being average just won’t earn you what it used to. It can’t when so many more employers have so much more access to so much more above average cheap foreign labor, cheap robotics, cheap software, cheap automation and cheap genius. Therefore, everyone needs to find their extra —their unique value contribution that makes them stand out in whatever is their field of employment. Average is over。 Yes, new technology has been eating jobs forever, and always will. As they say, if horses could have voted, there never would have been cars. But there’s been an accele ration. As Davidson notes, “In the 10 years ending in 2009, factories shed workers so fast that they erased almost all the gains of the previous 70 years; roughly one out of every three manufacturing jobs —about 6 million in total —disappeared。” And you ain’t seen nothin’ yet.
