考研英语阅读真题解析（2）考研英语阅读真题解析>>>>>>答案解析<<<<<<第一篇：31 答案 B Skepticism解析：作者观点态度题。

题干问的是作者对有关CSR方面Milton Friedman的说法是什么态度。

根据大写Milton Friedman这个人定位到定位到首段首句。

注意题干问的是作者的看法，因此定位到后一句but转折处。

转折处的主题句式“things may not absolutely clear-cut”，作者持的是否定态度，选择答案B。

C选项是作者态度不明确，不能选择。

32 答案 A winning trust from consumers解析：根据题干找到第二段.根据第二段内容,CSR could add value to their business in three ways. 从而定位下面三点。

First后面出现了high quality，但是它是在从句中，从句修饰"signal",而本句谓语动词是take，与D中raising 并不是同义词，故排除。

Second,和third 都与消费者购买心态有关，和A选项winning trust from consumers 相对应。

而B，C选项的malpractices和defamed在原文中并未出现，且没有同义词，故排除。

33 答案 C less severe解析：根据题干找到第四段对应处。

可见题干的 more lenient 是作为修饰penalties(惩罚) 的'，故推测本句在讨论CSR 和penalties 有什么联系。

而本段与惩罚相关的词只有最后一个词fines(罚金)，修饰它的形容词是lower, 故可推测 more lenient 与降低惩罚有关，只有C选项满足。

34 答案 A has an impact on their decision解析：题干中问的是CSR record 与prosecutors evaluate a case 的关系，根据题干内容到对应点：第五段第一句。

考研英语阅读理解考试题和答案解析二

考研英语阅读理解考试题和答案解析二PLIGHT OF THE PRESCHOOLERSHow do they beat the odds?Competition for admission to the country’s top private schools has always been tough, but this year Elisabeth Krents realized it had reached a new level.Her wake-up call came when a man called the Dalton School in Manhattan, where Krents is admissions director, and inquired about the age cutoff for their kindergarten program. After providing the information (they don’t use an age cutoff), she asked about the age of his child. The man paused for an uncomfortably long time before answering. “Well, we don’t have a child yet,” he told Krents. “We’re trying to figure out when to conceive a child so the birthday is not a problem.”School obsession is spreading from Manhattan to the rest of the country. Precise current data on private schools are unavailable, but interviews withrepresentatives of independent and religious schools all told the same story: a glut of applicants, higher rejection rates. “We have people calling u s for spots two years down the road,” said Marilyn Collins of the Seven Hills School in Cincinnati. “We have grandparents calling for pregnant daughters.”Public-opinion poll after poll indicates that Americans’ No. 1 concern is education. Now that the long economic boom has given parents more disposable income, many are turning to private schools, even at price tags of well over $10,000 a year. “We’re getting applicants from a broader area, geographically, than we ever have in the past,” said Betsy Haug h of the Latin School of Chicago, which experienced a 20 percent increase in applications this year.The problem for the applicants is that while demand has increased, supply has not. “Every year, there are a few children who do not find places, but this year, for the first time that I know of, there are a significant number of children who don’t have places,” said Krents, who also heads a private-school admissions group in New York.So what can parents do to give their 4-year-old an edge? Schools know there is no foolproof way to pick a class when children are so young. Many schools give preference to siblings or alumni children.Some use lotteries. But most rely on a mix of subjective and objective measures: tests that at best identify developmental maturity and cognitive potential, interviews with parents and observation of applicants in classroom settings. They also want a diverse mix. Children may end up on a waiting list simply because their birthdays fall at the wrong time of year, or because too many applicants were boys.The worst thing a parent can do is to pressure preschoolers to perform--for example, by pushing them to read or do math exercises before they’re ready. Instead, the experts say, parents should take a breath and look for alternatives. Another year in preschool may be all that’s needed. Parents, meanwhile, may need a more open mind about relatively unknown private schools--or about magnet schools in the public system. There’s no sign of the private-school boom letting up. Dal ton’s spring tours, for early birds interested inthe 2001-2002 school year, are filled. The wait list? Forget it. That’s closed, too.By Pat Wingert Newsweek; 05/15/2000, Vol. 135 Issue 20, p76, 2/3p, 1c注 (1) ：本文选自 Newsweek ， 05/15/2000, p761.The author uses the examples to show __________.[A]the concern of Americans[B]the charm of the private schools[C]the fierce situation for preschoolers[D]the economic situation of American families2.What is implied in Paragraph 4?[A]The harsh way of forming a class.[B]The high expectation of the parents.[C]The wise selection of the school.[D]The difficulty of getting enrolled.3.The author ’ s attitude toward this event is __________.[A]indifferent[B]apprehensive[C]supportive[D]indignant4.Instead of giving their children great pressureto outperform, the parents should ______.[A]avoid the competition and wait for another year[B]give up their first choice and go to the unknown school[C]let their children be and do what they want to do[D]deal with the matter more casually and rethink the situation5.The text intends to express _________.[A]the popularity of the private schools[B]parents ’ worry about their children ’ s schooling[C]the plight of the preschoolers[D]the severe competition in going to school篇章剖析本文采用提出问题 --- 分析问题的模式。

考研英语历年阅读理解真题精析--2003年part2

考研英语历年阅读理解真题精析--2003年part2Part TwoTo paraphrase 18th-century statesman Edmund Burke, "all that is needed for the triumph of a misguided cause is that good people do nothing." One such cause now seeks to end biomedical research because of the theory that animals have rights ruling out their use in research. Scientists need to respond forcefully to animal rights advocates, whose arguments are confusing the public and thereby threatening advances in health knowledge and care. 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. Hearing allegations of cruelty to animals in research settings, many are perplexed that anyone would deliberately harm an animal.For example, a grandmotherly woman staffing an animal rights booth at a recent street fair was distributing a brochure that encouraged readers not to use anything that comes from or is tested in animals-no meat, no fur, no medicines. Asked if she opposed immunizations, she wanted to know if vaccines come from animal research. When assured that they do, she replied, "Then I would have to say yes." Asked what will happen when epidemics return, she said, "Don't worry, scientists will find some way of using computers." Such well-meaning people just don't understand.Scientists must communicate their message to the public in a compassionate, understandable way-in human terms, not in the language of molecular biology. We need to make clear the connection between animal research and a grandmother's hip replacement, a father's bypass operation a baby's vaccinations, and even a pet's shots. To those who are unaware that animal research was needed to produce these treatments, as well as new treatments and vaccines, animal research seems wasteful at best andcruel at worst.Much can be done. Scientists could "adopt" middle school classes and present their own research. They should be quick to respond to letters to the editor, lest animal rights misinformation go unchallenged and acquire a deceptive appearance of truth. Research institutions could be opened to tours, to show that laboratory animals receive humane care. Finally, because the ultimate stakeholders are patients, the health research community should actively recruit to its cause not only well-known personalities such as Stephen Cooper, who has made courageous statements about the value of animal research, but all who receive medical treatment. If good people do nothing there is a real possibility that an uninformed citizenry will extinguish the precious embers of medical progress.6. 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.7. Misled people tend to think that using an animal in research is ________.[A] cruel but natural. [B] inhuman and unacceptable[C] inevitable but vicious. [D] pointless and wasteful.8. The example of the grandmotherly woman is used to show the public's ________.[A] discontent with animal research. [B] ignorance about medical science.[C] indifference to epidemics. [D] anxiety about animal rights.9. The author believes that, in face of the challenge from animal rights advocates, scientists should _____.[A] communicate more with the public.[B] employ hi-tech means in research.[C] feel no shame for their cause. [D] strive to develop new cures.10. From the text we learn that Stephen Cooper is ________.[A] a well-known humanist. [B] a medical practitioner.[C] an enthusiast in animal rights. [D] a supporter of animal research.Unit 10 （2003） Part 2重点词汇：1. paraphrase（n.v.释意）即para+phrase，para-前缀表"在旁边、辅助"，phrase即"短语；用短语表达"，故"用短语辅助表达"→释意。

考研英语阅读理解-(二)(总分：100.00，做题时间：90分钟)一、{{B}}Section Ⅰ Readi(总题数：4，分数：100.00)At the Museum of Sex in New York City, artificial-intelligence researcher David Levy projected a mock image on a screen of a smiling bride in a wedding dress holding hands with a short robot groom. "Why not marry a robot? Look at this happy couple," he said to a laughing crowd.When Levy was then asked whether anyone who would want to marry a robot was deceived, his face grew serious. "If the alternative is that you are lonely and sad and miserable, is it not better to find a robot that claims to love you and acts like it loves you?" Levy responded. "Does it really matter, if you're a happier person?" In his 2007 book, Love and Sex with Robots, Levy contends that sex, love and even marriage between humans and robots are coming soon and, perhaps, are even desirable. "I know some people think the idea is totally peculiar," he says. "But I am totally convinced it's inevitable."The 62-year-old London native has not reached this conclusion on a whim. Levy's academic love affair with computing began in his last year of university, during the vacuum-tube era. That is when he broadened his horizons beyond his passion for chess. "Back then people wrote chess programs to simulate human thought processes," he recalls. He later became engrossed in writing programs to carry on intelligent conversations with people, and then he explored the way humans interact with computers, a topic for which he earned his doctorate last year from the University of Maastricht in the Netherlands.Over the decades, Levy notes, interactions between humans and robots have become increasingly personal. Whereas robots initially found work, say, building cars in a factory, they have now moved into the home in the form of Roomba the robotic vacuum cleaner and digital pets such as Tamagotchis and the Sony Aibo.Science-fiction fans have witnessed plenty of action between humans and characters portraying artificial life-forms, such as with Data from the Star Trek franchise or the Cylons from the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica. And Levy is betting that a lot of people will fall in love with such devices. Programmers can tailor the machines to match a person's interests or render them some what disagreeable to create a desirablelevel of friction in a relationship. "It's not that people will fall in love with an algorithm but that people will fall in love with a convincing simulation of a human being, and convincing simulations can have a remarkable effect on people," he says.（分数：25.00）(1).In the opening paragraph, the snapshot at the Museum of Sex serves to∙ A. introduce the topic.∙ B. provide a background.∙ C. explain a phenomenon.∙ D. summarize the main idea.（分数：5.00）A.B.C.D.(2).David Levy would most probably agree that∙ A. the idea of a human marrying a robot is totally crazy.∙ B. deception might result in a human marrying a robot.∙ C. robots can be created capable of loving just as hmnans do.∙ D. it is not impossible for a human to marry a robot.（分数：5.00）A.B.C.D.(3).The phrase "on a whim" (Line 1, Paragraph 3) most probably means∙ A. in haste.∙ B. all of a sudden.∙ C. on his own.∙ D. out of the blue.（分数：5.00）A.B.C.D.(4).Roomba, Tamagotchis, and the Sony Aibo are mentioned to show that∙ A. the development of robots is really fascinating.∙ B. robots have made their contributions to housework.∙ C. robots have been transferred from factories to homes.∙ D. humans have developed a more personal relationship with robots.（分数：5.00）A.B.C.D.(5).In Levy's view, why should the robots be made somewhat disagreeable?∙ A. To match the interests of human beings.∙ B. To make them as sentimental as human beings.∙ C. To vividly imitate a relationship.∙ D. To improve the accuracy of their performances.（分数：5.00）A.B.C.D.As college seniors hurtle into the job hunt, little lies on the resume-for example, claiming a degree when they're three credits shy of graduation-seem harmless enough. So new grads ought to read this memo now: those 20-year-old falsehoods on cream-colored, 32-1b. premium paper have ruined so many highprofile executives that you wonder who in the business world hasn't got the message. A resume listing two fabricated degrees led to the resignation of David Edmondson, CEO of RadioShack, in February. Untruthful resume have also hindered the careers of executives at the U.S. Olympic Committee.The headlines haven't dented job seekers' desire to dissemble even as employers have grown increasingly able to detect deception. InfoLink Screening Services, a background-checking company, estimates that 14% of job applicants in the U.S. lie about their education on their resumes. Employees who lie to get in the door can cause untold damage on a business, experts say, from staining the reputation and credibility of a firm to upending co-workers and projects to igniting shareholder wrath-and that's if the lie is found out. Even when it isn't, the falsified resume can indicate a deeply rooted inclination toward unethical behavior. "There's a lot of evidence that those who cheat on job applications also cheat in school and in life," says Richard Grfffith, director of the industrial and organizational psychology program at the Florida Institute of Technology. "If someone says they have a degree and they don't, I'd have little faith that person would tell the truth when it came to financial statements and so on."Employers' fears have sparked a boom in the background-screening industry. But guarding the henhouse does little good if the fox is already nestled inside. To unmask the deceivers among them, some employers are conducting checks upon promotion. Verified Person markets its ability to provide ongoing employee screening through automated criminal checks. With this increased alertness comes a thorny new dilemma: figuring out whether every lie is really a fireable offense. Many bosses feel that a worker's track record on the job speaks more strongly than a stretched resume, says John Challenger of the outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas. Rather than booting talented workers, Challenger suggests, employers should offer a pardon period. "A moratorium would let anyone who needs to come clean," he says And the culprit could always go back to school and finish that degree-maybe even on company time.（分数：25.00）(1).By citing the examples of David Edmondson, the author intends to show that∙ A. little lies on the resume seem risk-free to the company.∙ B. falsehoods on the restume may lead to career collapse.∙ C. high-profile executives have to be careful about their background.∙ D. fabricated degrees can sometimes bring positions to senior executives.（分数：5.00）A.B.C.D.(2).By saying "The headlines haven't dented job seekers' desire to dissemble" (Line 1, Paragraph 2), the author means that∙ A. the news hasn't prevented job applicants from being dishonest.∙ B. the headings have made job seekers more eager to hide their true feelings.∙ C. the news hasn't any kind of impacts on job applicants at all.∙ D. the headings have succeeded in persuading job seekers to give up lying.（分数：5.00）A.B.C.D.(3).If a lie is found out, one consequence will probably be∙ A. the increased number of laid-off coworkers.∙ B. the interference of stakeholders.∙ C. the possibility of more unethical behaviors.∙ D. the ruined image of the company.（分数：5.00）A.B.C.D.(4).Falsehood on resume shows that the job seeker may∙ A. have extreme views towards working.∙ B. be more likely to cheat in other fields.∙ C. stay honest in financial statements.∙ D. seek other ways to convey the truth.（分数：5.00）A.B.C.D.(5).According to Challenger, when the bosses screen out deceivers in their companies, they tend to∙ A. fire them immediately without listening to any excuses.∙ B. evaluate their personality again through background-screening.∙ C. give them a period of time to make a remedy.∙ D. offer all talented employees the opportunities to finish degree.（分数：5.00）A.B.C.D.How could anybody dislike the notion of fairness? Everything is better when it is fair: a share, a fight, a maiden, or a game. Even defeat sounds more attractive when it is fair and square. For the British fair play is especially important: without it, life isn't cricket. Their country becomes quite pleasant when the weather is fair, though unfortunately it rarely is. And these days fairtrade goods crowd their supermarket shelves. Fairness is not only good, but also moderate, which is another characteristic that the British approve of. It does not claim too much for itself. Those who, on inquiry, admit that their health and fortunes are fair-to-middling navigate carefully between the twin dangers of boastfulness and ill-temperedness, while gesturing in a chin-up sort of way towards the possibility of future improvement.Fairness appeals to the British political class, for it has a common sense down-to-earthiness which avoids the grandiosity of American andcontinental European political discourse while aspiring to do its best for all men-and of course for maidens too, fair and otherwise, for one of its virtues is that it does not discriminate on grounds of either gender or skin colour.Not surprising, then, that Britain's government should grab hold of the word and cling to it in the buffeting the coalition has had since the budget on June 22nd proposed higher taxes and even sharper spending cuts. "Tough but fair" is what George Osborne, the Conservative chancellor of the exchequer, called the cuts he announced. "It is going to be tough, but it is also very fair," said Vince Cable, the Liberal Democrat business secretary. At last, something they could agree on."Fairness" suits Britain's coalition government so well not just because its meanings are all positive, but also because they are wide-ranging. To one lot of people, fairness means establishing the same rules for everybody, playing by them, and letting the best man win and the winner take all. To another, it means making sure that everybody gets equal shares. Those two meanings are not just different: they are opposite. They represent a choice that has to be made between freedom and equality. Yet so slippery-and thus convenient to politicians-is the English language that a single word encompasses both, and in doing so loses any claim to meaning.（分数：25.00）(1).The statement "without it, life isn't cricket" (Line 4, Para. 1) reflects that∙ A. people in Britain want sports to be fair and square.∙ B. the British highly value the notion of fairness.∙ C. the British treat their life in a fair and serious way.∙ D. for the British, life isn't as fair as a cricket game.（分数：5.00）A.B.C.D.(2).What do we know about the British from the first two paragraphs?∙ A. They are hard to please.∙ B. They are nice and moderate.∙ C. They are prone to boastfulness.∙ D. They are modest yet optimistic.（分数：5.00）A.B.C.D.(3).George Osborne and Vince Cable regarded the spending cuts as fair because∙ A. the spending cuts really are fair and square.∙ B. they finally see eye to eye with each other.∙ C. British politicians like to use that word.∙ D. they two are of the same political regime.（分数：5.00）A.B.C.D.(4).The author holds in the last paragraph that "fairness"∙ A. is the cornerstone of the Britain's coalition government.∙ B. means different or even opposite things to different people.∙ C. displays the inclusiveness of the English language.∙ D. has become a convenient cliché for the British politicians.（分数：5.00）A.B.C.D.(5).Which of the following is true according to the text?∙ A. The British value the notion of fairness, especially in sports games.∙ B. Continental European politicians don't favor the notion of fairness.∙ C. Fairness is vital for maidens since it has no gender discrimination.∙ D. Fairness has become a guidelines of Britain's coalition government.（分数：5.00）A.B.C.D.Despite its name, Smugglers' Gulch is one of the toughest places to sneak into America. The narrow valley near San Diego is divided by a steel wall and watched day and night by agents of the border patrol, who track word-be illegal immigrants with the help of helicopters and underground pressure sensors. Rafael, a cement worker, has already been canght jumping over the fence five times. Yet he still wanders on the Mexican side of the fence, waiting for nightfall and another chance to cross. How much longer willhe keep trying? "Until I get through," he says.Last week the Senate tried, and failed, to deal with the problem of illegal immigration. After much debate it abandoned a bill that would have provided more money for border security but also allowed many illegal immigrants to obtain visas. Yet the collapse of the Senate bill does not mean illegal immigration will go away, either as a fact or as an urgent political issue. Indeed, one likely consequence will be an outbreak of ad hoc law-making in cities and states.One such place is Arizona, where the governor, signed a bill this week imposing rigid penalties on employers who hire illegal immigrants. Those who are caught once will have their licenses suspended; a second offence will put them out of business. Even the governor admits the bill is too broadly drawn and will be hard to enforce. She signed it, she explained, because the federal government has shown itself to be incapable of dealing with illegal immigration.One in ten workers in Arizona is illegal, according to the Pew Hispanic Centre. So the law, if rigorously enforced, could disrupt the state's economy, which suggests it will not be. One landscape gardener in Scottsdale who worked illegally for three decades and now pays illegal workers ＄7 an hour thinks the measure is ridiculous. "Who else is going to pick lettuces and trim trees in this heat?" he asks, pointing to the sun on a 47℃ day. He has no plans to change his ways, and says he will simply move if he is caught.Laws such as Arizona's will make life more unpleasant and unprecedented for illegal workers. But they will not curtail either illegal immigration or illegal working as much as supporters claim. In any case, the border has been so porous for so long that people now have plenty of reasons to steal across it other than work. Of five aspiring immigrants who spoke to the correspondent in Smugglers' Gulch earlier this week, three were trying to join their families.（分数：25.00）(1).We can learn from the opening paragraph that∙ A. people are misled by the name Smugglers' Gulch.∙ B. Smuggler's Gulch is the toughest entrance to steal into USA.∙ C. Rafael will continue his risky attempt to jump the fence.∙ D. Smuggler's Gulch is secured by advanced tracking tools.（分数：5.00）A.C.D.(2).The bill abandoned by the Senate last week implies that∙ A. the cost to tackle illegal immigration has overrun budget.∙ B. political intrigues can deal with illegal immigration effectively.∙ C. the Senate once considered granting illegal immigrants more visas.∙ D. cities and states are pushed to put immigration laws into force.（分数：5.00）A.B.C.D.(3).The governor of Arizona believes that∙ A. the newly-signed bill is more likely to become an empty talk.∙ B. deprivation of employment helps to drive illegal immigrants away.∙ C. the biggest difficulty of the bill lies in rigorous implementation.∙ D. discussion should be held to make the broadly-drawn bill practical.（分数：5.00）A.B.C.D.(4).In Paragraph 4, the landscape gardener in Scottsdale is mentioned to∙ A. display the ill-effect the bill has caused to Arizona's economy.∙ B. demonstrate illegal immigrants' contribution to local society.∙ C. express illegal immigrants' desperation about the measures to be taken.∙ D. reveal the bill's inhumanity to those self-made illegal immigrants.（分数：5.00）A.B.C.D.(5).In the author's opinion, the illegal immigration issue in America∙ A. calls for more forceful laws on illicit working.∙ B. derives from a long history and various reasons.∙ C. stems mainly from people's longing for family reunion.∙ D. brings illegal workers an unpleasant and unpredictable life.（分数：5.00）A.C.D.。

小编为大家提供2019考研英语二阅读理解真题及答案解析text2，一起来学习一下吧！2019考研英语二阅读理解真题text2Text 2Forests give us shade, quiet and one of the harder challenges in the fight against climate change. Even as we humans count on forests to soak up a good share of the carbon dioxide we produce, we are threatening their ability to do so. The climate change we are hastening could one day leave us with forests that emit more carbon than they absorb.Thankfully, there is a way out of this trap—but it involves striking a subtle balance. Helping forests flourish as valuable "carbon sinks" long into the future may require reducing their capacity to sequester carbon now. California is leading the way, as it does on so many climate efforts, in figuring out the details.The state's proposed Forest Carbon Plan aims to double efforts to thin out young trees and clear brush in parts of the forest, including by controlled burning. This temporarily lowers carbon-carrying capacity. But the remaining trees draw a greater share of the available moisture, so they grow and thrive, restoring the forest's capacity to pull carbon from the air. Healthy trees are also better able to fend off bark beetles. The landscape is rendered less combustible. Even in the event of a fire, fewer trees are consumed.The need for such planning is increasingly urgent. Already, since 2010, drought and beetles have killed more than 100 million trees in California, most of them in 2016 alone, andwildfires have scorched hundreds of thousands of acres.California's plan envisions treating 35,000 acres of forest a year by 2020, and 60,000 by 2030 —financed from the proceeds of the state's emissions-permit auctions. That's only a small share of the total acreage that could benefit, an estimated half a million acres in all, so it will be important to prioritize areas at greatest risk of fire or drought.The strategy also aims to ensure that carbon in woody material removed from the forests is locked away in the form of solid lumber, burned as biofuel in vehicles that would otherwise run on fossil fuels, or used in compost or animal feed. New research on transportation biofuels is under way, and the state plans to encourage lumber production close to forest lands. In future the state proposes to take an inventory of its forests' carbon-storing capacity every five years.State governments are well accustomed to managing forests, including those owned by the U.S. Forest Service, but traditionally they've focused on wildlife, watersheds and opportunities for recreation. Only recently have they come to see the vital part forests will have to play in storing carbon. California's plan, which is expected to be finalized by the governor early next year, should serve as a model.26. “One of the harder challenges” implies ___A. global climate change may get out of controlB. forests may become a potential threatC. people may misunderstand global warmingD. extreme weather conditions may arise27. To maintain forests as valuable "carbon sinks", we may need to _A.preserve diversity of speciesB. lower their present carbon-absorbing capacityC. accelerate the growth of young treesD. strike a balance among different plants28.California's Forest Carbon Plan endeavors to ___A. restore its forests quickly after wildfires.B. cultivate more drought resistant trees.C. find more effective ways to kill insectsD. reduce the density of some of its forests29.

考研英语历年真题阅读理解精读笔记(二)TEXT 3During the past generation, the American middle class family that once could count on hard work and fair play to keep itself financially secure has been transformed by economic risk and new realities. Now a pink slip, a bad diagnosis, or a disappearing spouse can reduce a family from solidly middle class to newly poor in a few months.In just one generation, millions of mothers have gone to work, transforming basic family economics. Scholars, policymakers, and critics of all stripes have debated the social implications of these changes, but few have looked at the side effect: family risk has risen as well. Today's families have budgeted to the limits of their new two paycheck status. As a result, they have lost the parachute they once had in times of financial setback-a back up earner (usually Mom) who could go into the workforce if the primary earner got laid off or fell sick. This "added worker effect" could support the safety net offered by unemployment insurance or disability insurance to help families weather bad times. But today, a disruption to family fortunes can no longer be made up with extra income from an otherwise stay at home partner.During the same period, families have been asked to absorb much more risk in their retirement income. Steelworkers, airline employees, and now those in the auto industry are joining millions of families who must worry about interest rates, stock market fluctuation, and the harsh reality that they may outlive their retirement money. For much of the past year, President Bush campaigned to move Social Security to a savings account model, with retirees trading much or all of their guaranteed payments for payments depending on investment returns. For younger families, the picture is not any better. Both the absolute cost of healthcare and the share of it borne by families have risen-and newly fashionable health savings plans are spreading from legislative halls to Wal Mart workers, with much higher deductibles and a large new dose of investment risk for families' future healthcare. Even demographics are working against the middle class family, as the odds of having a weak elderly parent-and all the attendant need for physical and financial assistance-have jumped eightfold in just one generation.From the middle class family perspective, much of this, understandably, looks far less like an opportunity to exercise more financial responsibility, and a good deal more like a frightening acceleration of the wholesale shift of financial risk onto their already overburdened shoulders. The financial fallout has begun, and the political fallout may not be far behind.31. Today's double income families are at greater financial risk in thatA. the safety net they used to enjoy has disappearedB. their chances of being laid off have greatly increasedC. they are more vulnerable to changes in family economicsD. they are deprived of unemployment or disability insurance32. As a result of President Bush's reform, retired people may haveA. a higher sense of securityB. less secured paymentsC. less chance to investD. a guaranteed future33. According to the author, health savings plans willA. help reduce the cost of healthcareB. popularize among the middle classC. compensate for the reduced pensionsD. increase the families' investment risk34. It can be inferred from the last paragraph thatA. financial risks tend to outweigh political risksB. the middle class may face greater political challengesC. financial problems may bring about political problemsD. financial responsibility is an indicator of political status35.

考研英语历年阅读理解真题精析--1998年part2

Part TwoWell, no gain without pain, they say. But what about pain without gain? Everywhere you go in America, you hear tales of corporate revival. What is harder to establish is whether the productivity revolution that businessmen assume they are presiding over is for real.The official statistics are mildly discouraging. They show that, if you lump manufacturing and services together, productivity has grown on average by 1.2% since 1987. That is somewhat faster than the average during the previous decade. And since 1991, productivity has increased by about 2% a year, which is more than twice the 1978 87 average. The trouble is that part of the recent acceleration is due to the usual rebound that occurs at this point in a business cycle, and so is not conclusive evidence of a revival in the underlying trend. There is, as Robert Rubin, the treasury secretary, says, a “disjunction” between the mass of business anecdote that points to a leap in productivity and the picture reflected by the statistics.Some of this can be easily explained. New ways of organizing the workplace all that re engineering and downsizing - are only one contribution to the overall productivity of an economy, which is driven by many other factors such as joint investment in equipment and machinery, new technology, and investment in education and training. Moreover, most of the changes that companies make are intended to keep them profitable, and this need not always mean increasing productivity: switching to new markets or improving quality can matter just as much.Two other explanations are more speculative. First, some of the business restructuring of recent years may have been ineptly done. Second, even if it was well done, it may have spread much less widely than people suppose.Leonard Schlesinger, a Harvard academic and former chief executive of Au Bong Pain, a rapidly growing chain of bakery cafes, says that much “re engineering” has been crude. In many cases, he believes, the loss of revenue has been greater than the reductions in cost. His colleague, Michael Beer, says that far too many companies have applied re engineering in a mechanistic fashion, chopping out costs without giving sufficient thought to long term profitability. BBDO's Al Rosenshine is blunter. He dismisses a lot of the work of re engineering consultants as mere rubbish - “the worst sort of ambulance cashing.”5. According to the author, the American economic situation is _____ .A）not as good as it seemsB）at its turning pointC）much better than it seems D）near to complete recovery6. The official statistics on productivity growth _____ .A）exclude the usual rebound in a business cycleB）fall short of businessmen's anticipationC）meet the expectation of business people D）fail to reflect the true state of economy7. The author raises the question “what about pain without gain?” because _____ .A）he questions the truth of “no gain without pain”B）he does not think the productivity revolution worksC）he wonders if the official statistics are misleadingD）he has conclusive evidence for the revival of businesses8. Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned in the passage?A）Radical reforms are essential for the increase of productivity.B）New ways of organizing workplaces may help to increase productivity.C）The reduction of costs is not a sure way to gain long term profitability.D）The consultants are a bunch of good for nothings.Unit 5 （1998） Part2重点词汇：1.assume （v.假定；承担；呈现）。

考研英语（二）阅读理解分析

考研英语（二）阅读理解分析2013考研英语(二)阅读理解分析1 选材思路：从最近几年的真题中明显看出经济学占据有举足轻重的地位，最近三年中每一次四篇文章中都有两篇是和经济学相关的。

2010年第一篇考了艺术品市场拍卖的波动和第三篇人们的喜好和企业市场营销的关系；11年考察了第一篇外部董事对于企业运作的作用和第四篇欧盟如何应对债务风波；今年第二篇又考察了人们对颜色的喜爱还是和企业的营销相关以及第四篇如何在失业率上升中见到忧中之喜。

其实仔细研读就会发现，大纲对于英语二的要求是考生应能读懂不同题材和体裁的文字材料，题材包括经济、管理、社会、文化、科普等，体裁包括说明文、议论文和记叙文等。

在大纲中，经济学就是摆在第一位的，我相信对于考MBA相关专业的考生至少在背景常识方面会具有一定的优势，而对于很多艺术类考生则是很不利的。

因此希望考生平时还是要多注重积累一些经济学方面的常识，对于英语二的阅读是大有裨益的。

2 文章结构：对于文章的结构，考生要注意学会识别主题和支持性细节的结构关系，常见的主要有三大类：例证、对比和因果关系。

这三种论证方法又以对比最难理解，而对比恰恰使我们考研最喜欢考察的一种结构。

这里稍微分析一下，考研中的对比还分成两大类：第一种比较常见的是大众对作者观点的对比，因为我们考试的文章几乎都选在西方的报刊杂志，所以为了吸引读者的眼球，作者的观点一定是匪夷所思的，比如今年阅读的第四篇文章第一段就讲述经济衰退了，失业只是刚刚开始，大众一定认为经济衰退和失业率的上升一定是不好的，可是第二段开始就话锋一转讲述他也能重塑我们的政治、文化甚至是社会特点，第三段更进一步论述我们还能从经济衰退中找到好的东西，明显和我们的固定思维是相反的。

因此考生读文章千万不能带着主观臆断去读，要以旁观者的立场来看待文章。

又如第二篇文章一开头说女孩子钟情粉红色，然后分析大众认为的原因DNA相关，但紧接着马上否定这个观点，最后引述还是和企业的市场营销相关联。

To some eXtent the housing sector must shoulder the blame.We have not been good at communicating the real value that housing can contribute to economic growth.Then there is the scale of the typical housing project.It is hard to shovefor attention among multibillion-pound infrastructure project，so it is inevitable that the attention is focused elsewhere.But perhaps the most significant reason is that the issue has always been so politically charged.Nevertheless，the affordable housing situation is desperate.Waiting lists increase all the time and we are simply not building enough new homes.The comprehensive spending review offers an opportunity for the government to help rectify this.It needs to put historical prejudices to one side and take some steps to address our urgent housing need.There are some indications that it is preparing to do just that.The communities minister， Don Foster， has hinted that George Osborne， Chancellor of the EXchequer， may introduce more fleXibility to the current cap on the amount that local authorities can borrow against their housing stock debt.Evidence shows that 60，000 eXtra new homes could be built over the neXt five years if the cap were lifted， increasing GDP by 0.6%.Ministers should also look at creating greater certainty in the rental environment， which would have a significant impact on the ability of registered providers to fund newdevelopments from revenues.But it is not just down to the government.While these measures would be welcome in the short term， we must face up to the fact that the eXisting ?4.5bn programme of grants to fund new affordable housing， set to eXpire in 20XX，is unlikely to be eXtended beyond then.The Labour party has recently announced that it will retain a large part of the coalition’s spending plans if returns to power.The housing sector needs to accept that we are very unlikely to ever return to era of large-scale public grants.We need to adjust to this changing climate.36.The author believes that the housing sector__[A] has attracted much attention[B] involves certain political factors[C] shoulders too much responsibility[D] has lost its real value in economy37.It can be learned that affordable housing has__[A] increased its home supply[B] offered spending opportunities[C] suffered government biases[D] disappointed the government38.According to Paragraph 5，George Osborne may_______.[A] allow greater government debt for housing[B] stop local authorities from building homes[C] prepare to reduce housing stock debt[D] release a lifted GDP growth forecast39.It can be inferred that a stable rental environment would_______.[A]lower the costs of registered providers[B]lessen the impact of government interference[C]contribute to funding new developments[D]relieve the ministers of responsibilities40.The author believes that after 20XX，the government may______.[A]implement more policies to support housing[B]review the need for large-scale public grants[C]renew the affordable housing grants programme[D]stop generous funding to the housing sector考研真题历年英语二阅读3TeXt 4Europe is not a gender-equality heaven.In particular， the corporate workplace will never be completely family—friendly until women are part of senior management decisions，and Europe，s top corporate-governance positions remain overwhelmingly male .indeed，women hold only 14 percent of positions on Europecorporate boards.The Europe Union is now considering legislation to compel corporate boards to maintain a certain proportion of women-up to 60 percent.This proposed mandate was born of st year，Europe Commission Vice President Viviane Reding issued a call to voluntary action.Reding invited corporations to sign up for gender balance goal of 40 percent female board membership.But her appeal was considered a failure: only 24 companies took it up.Do we need quotas to ensure that women can continue to climb the corporate Ladder fairy as they balance work and family?“Personally， I don’t like quotas，” Reding said recently.“But i like what the quotas do.” Quotas get action: they “open the way to equality and they break through the glass ceiling，”according to Reding， a result seen in France and other countries with legally binding provisions on placing women in top business positions.I understand Reding’s reluctance-and her frustration.I don’t like quotas either; they run counter to my belief in meritocracy，government by the capable.Bur，when one considers the obstacles to achieving the meritocratic ideal，it does look as if a fairer world must be temporarily ordered.After all， four decades of evidence has now shown that corporations in Europe as the US are evading the meritocratic hiring and promotion of women to top position— no matter how much “soft pressure ” is put upon them.When women do break through to the summit of corporate power--as， for eXample，Sheryl Sandberg recently did at Facebook—they attract massive attention precisely because they remain the eXception to the rule.If appropriate pubic policies were in place to help all women---whether CEOs or their children’s caregivers--and all families， Sandberg would be no more newsworthy than any other highly capable person living in a more just society.36.In the European corporate workplace， generally_____.[A] women take the lead[B] men have the final say[C] corporate governance is overwhelmed[D] senior management is family-friendly37.The European Union’s intended legislation is ________.[A] a reflection of gender balance[B] a reluctant choice[C] a response to Reding’s call[D] a voluntary action38.According ti Reding， quotas may help women ______.[A] get top business positions[B] see through the glass ceiling[C] balance work and family[D] anticipate legal results39.The author’s attitude toward Reding’s appeal is one of _________.[A] skepticism[B] objectiveness[C] indifference[D] approval40.Women entering top management become headlines due to the lack of ______.[A] more social justice[B] massive media attention[C] suitable public policies[D] greater “soft pressure”考研真题历年英语二阅读4TeXt 4It‘s no surprise that Jennifer Senior’s insightful，provocative magazine cover story，“I love My Children， I Hate My Life，” is arousing much chatter – nothing gets peopletalking like the suggestion that child rearing is anything less than a completely fulfilling，life-enriching eXperience.Rather than concluding that children make parents either happy or miserable， Senior suggests we need to redefine happiness：instead of thinking of it as something that can be measured by moment-to-moment joy， we should consider being happy as a past-tense condition.Even though the day-to-day eXperience of raising kids can be soul-crushingly hard， Senior writes that “the very things that in the moment dampen our moods can later be sources of intense gratification and delight.”The magazine cover showing an attractive mother holding a cute baby is hardly the only Madonna-and-child image on newsstands this week.There are also stories about newly adoptive – and newly single – mom Sandra Bullock， as well as the usual “Jennifer Aniston is pregnant” news.Practically every week features at least one celebrity mom， or mom-to-be，smiling on the newsstands.In a society that so persistently celebrates procreation，is it any wonder that admitting you regret having children is equivalent to admitting you support kitten-killing ? It doesn ‘t seem quite fair， then， to compare the regrets of parents to the regrets of the children.Unhappy parents rarely areprovoked to wonder if they shouldn’t have had kids， but unhappy childless folks are bothered with the message that children are the single most important thing in the world：obviously their misery must be a direct result of the gaping baby-size holes in their lives.Of course，the image of parenthood that celebrity magazines like Us Weekly and People present is hugely unrealistic， especially when the parents are single mothers like Bullock.According to several studies concluding that parents are less happy than childless couples， single parents are the least happy of all.No shock there， considering how much work it is to raise a kid without a partner to lean on; yet to hear Sandra and Britney tell it， raising a kid on their “own”(read：with round-the-clock help)is a piece of cake.It‘s hard to imagine that many people are dumb enough to want children just because Reese and Angelina make it look so glamorous：most adults understand that a baby is not a haircut.But it’s interesting to wonder if the images we see every week of stress-free， happiness-enhancing parenthood aren‘t in some small， subconscious way contributing to our own dissatisfactions with the actual eXperience， in the same way that a small part of us hoped getting “ the Rachel” mightmake us look just a little bit like Jennifer Aniston.36.Jennifer Senior suggests in her article that raising a child can bring[A]temporary delight[B]enjoyment in progress[C]happiness in retrospect[D]lasting reward37.We learn from Paragraph 2 that[A]celebrity moms are a permanent source for gossip.[B]single mothers with babies deserve greater attention.[C]news about pregnant celebrities is entertaining.[D]having children is highly valued by the public.38.It is suggested in Paragraph 3 that childless folks[A]are constantly eXposed to criticism.[B]are largely ignored by the media.[C]fail to fulfill their social responsibilities.[D]are less likely to be satisfied with their life.39.According to Paragraph 4.the message conveyed by celebrity magazines is[A]soothing.[B]ambiguous.[C]compensatory.[D]misleading.40.Which of the following can be inferred from the last paragraph?[A]Having children contributes little to the glamour of celebrity moms.[B]Celebrity moms have influenced our attitude towards child rearing.[C]Having children intensifies our dissatisfaction with life.[D]We sometimes neglect the happiness from child rearing.考研英语二终于写完毕了，希望能够帮助到大家，谢谢！。

考研英语历年阅读理解真题精析--1996年part2

考研英语历年阅读理解真题精析--1996年part2Part TwoWith the start of BBC World Service Television, millions of viewers in Asia and America can now watch the Corporation's news coverage, as well as listen to it.And of course in Britain listeners and viewers can tune in to two BBC television channels, five BBC national radio services and dozens of local radio station. They are brought sport , comedy, drama, music, news and current affairs , education , religion , parliamentary coverage, children ' s programs and films for an annual license fee of 83 pounds per household.It is a remarkable record, stretching back over 70 years--yet the BBC' s future is now in doubt. The Corporation will survive as a publicly-funded broadcasting organization, at least for the time being, but its role, its size and its programs are now the subject of a nation-wide debate in Britain.The debate was launched by the Government , which invited anyone with an opinion of the BBC-including ordinary listeners and viewers--to say what was good or badabout the Corporation, and even whether they thought it was worth keeping. The reason for its inquiry is that the BBC' s royal charter runs out in 1996 and it must decide whether to keep the organization as it is ,or to make changes.Defenders of the Corporation-of whom there are many---are fond of quoting the American slogan "If it isn't broke, don't fix it. " The BBC "an' tbroke" ,they say, by which they mean it is not broken （as distinct from the word 'broke' , meaning having no money）, so why bother to change it?Yet the BBC will have to change, because the broadcasting world around it is changing. The commercial TV channels--TV and Channel 4--were required by the Thatcher Government's Broadcasting Act to become more commercial, competing with each other for advertisers, and cutting costs and jobs. But it is the arrival of new satellite channels--funded partly by advertising and partly by viewers' subscriptions-which will bring about the biggest changes in the long term .5 . The world famous BBC now faces__ .（A） the problem of new coverage （B）an uncertain prospect（C） inquiries by the general public （D）shrinkage of audience6. In the passage, which of the following about the BBC is not mentioned as the key issue?（A）Extension of its TV service to Far East.（B）Programmes as the subject of a nation-wide debate.（C）Potentials for further international co-operations.（D）Its existence as a broadcasting organization.7. The BBC's "royal charter" （Line 4, Paragraph 3）stands for__（A）the financial support from the royal family（B）the privileges grantedby the Queen（C）a contract with the Queen（D）a unique relationship with the royal family8. The foremost reason why the BBC has to readjust itself is no other than__（A）the emergence of commercial TV channels（B）the enforcement of Broadcasting Act by the government（C）the urgent necessity to reduce costs and jobs（D）the challenge of new satellite channelsUnit 3 （1996）Part 2重点词汇：coverage（覆盖范围；新闻报导）←cover+age名词后缀。

There were goals，there were strategies，there were objectives，but we didn't talk about energy;we didn't talk about passion."Koehn pointed out that this new era of corporate vocabula ry is very "team"-oriented-and not by coincidence."Let's not forget sDorts-in male-dominated corporate America，it's still a big deal. It's not explicitly conscious;it's the idea that I'm a coach，and you're my team，and we're in this togethec. There are lots and lots of CEOs in very different companies，but most think of themselves as coaches and this is their team and they want to win".These terms a re also intended to infuse work with meaning-and，as Khu rana points out，increase allegiance to the firm."You have the importation of terminology that historically used to be associated with non-profit organizations and religious organizations：Terms like vision，values，passion，and purpose，"saidKhuranaThis new focus on personal fulfillment can help keep employees motivated amid increasingly loud debates over work-life balance The "mommy wars" of the 1990s a re still going ontoday, prompting arguments about whywomen still can'thave it all and books like Sheryl Sandberg's Lean In，whose title has become abuzzword in its own right. Terms like unplug，offline，life-hack，bandwidth，andcapacity are all about setting boundaries between the office and the home But ifyour work is your "passion," you'II be more likely to devote yourself to it，even ifthat means going home for dinner and then working long after the kids are in bedBut this seems to be the irony of office speak：Everyone makes fun of it，butmanage rs love it，companies depend on it，and regular people willingly absorb itAs Nunberg said，"You can get people to think it's nonsense at the same timethat you buy into it." In a workplace that's fundamentally indiffe rent to your lifeand its meaning office speak can help you figu re out how you relate to yourwork-and how your work defines who you are31. According to Nancy Koehn, office language has become________[A]more e motional[B]more objective[C]less energetic[D]less energetic[E]less strategic32."team"-oriented corporate vocabulary is closely related to________[A]historical incidents[B]gender difference[C]sports culture[D]athletic executives33.Khurana believes that the importation of terminology aims to________[A]revive historical terms[B]promote company image[C]foster corporate cooperation[D]strengthen employee loyalty34.It can be inferred that Lean In_________[A]voices for working women[B]appeals to passionate workaholics[C]triggers dcbates among mommies[D]praises motivated employees35.Which of the following statements is true about office speak?[A]Managers admire it but avoid it[B]Linguists believe it to be nonsense[C]Companies find it to be fundamental[D]Regular people mock it but accept it英语阅读理解真题考研二级2Text 3That everyone's too busy these days is a cliché. But one specific complaint is made especially mournfully: There's never any time to read.What makes the problem thornier is that the usual time-management techniques don't seem sufficient. The web's full of articles offering tips on making time to read: “Give up TV” or “Carry a book with you at all times.” But in my experience, using such methods to free up the odd 30 minutes doesn't work. Sit down to read and the flywheel of work-related thoughts keeps spinning-or else you're so exhausted that a challenging book's the last thing you need. The modern mind, Tim Parks, a novelist and critic, writes, “is overwhelmingly inclined toward communication…It is not simply that one is interrupted; it is thatone is actually inclined to interruption.” Deep reading requires not just time, but a special kind of time which can't be obtained merely by becoming more efficient.In fact, “becoming more efficient” is part of the problem. Thinking of time as a resource to be maximised means you approach it instrumentally, judging any given moment as well spent only in so far as it advances progress toward some goal. Immersive reading, by contrast, depends on being willing to risk inefficiency, goallessness, even time-wasting. Try to slot it as a to-do list item and you'll manage only goal-focused reading-useful, sometimes, but not the most fulfilling kind. “The future comes at us like empty bottles along an unstoppable and nearly infinite conveyor belt,” writes Gary Eberle in his book Sacred Time, and “we feel a pressure to fill these different-sized bottles (days, hours, minutes) as they pass, for if they get by without being filled, we will have wasted them.” No mind-set could be worse for losing yourself in a book.So what does work? Perhaps surprisingly, scheduling regular times for reading. You'd think this might fuel the efficiency mind-set, but in fact, Eberle notes, such ritualistic behaviour helps us “step outside time's flow” into “soul time.” You could limit distractions by reading only physical books, or on single-purpose e-readers. “Carry a book with you at all times” can actually work, too-providing you dip in often enough, so that reading becomes the default state from which you temporarily surface to take care of business, before dropping back down. On a really good day, it no longer feels as if you're “making time to read,” but just reading, and making time for everything else.31. The usual time-management techniques don’t work because .[A] what they can offer does not ease the modern mind[B] what challenging books demand is repetitive reading[C] what people often forget is carrying a book with them[D] what deep reading requires cannot be guaranteed32. The “empty bottles” metaphor illustrates that people feel a pressure to .[A] update their to-do lists[B] make passing time fulfilling[C] carry their plans through[D] pursue carefree reading33. Eberle would agree that scheduling regular times for reading helps .[A] encourage the efficiency mind-set[B] develop online reading habits[C] promote ritualistic reading[D] achieve immersive reading34. “Carry a book with you at all times”can work if .[A] reading becomes your primary business of the day[B] all the daily business has been promptly dealt with[C] you are able to drop back to business after reading[D] time can be evenly split for reading and business35. The best title for this text could be .[A] How to Enjoy Easy Reading[B] How to Find Time to Read[C] How to Set Reading Goals[D] How to Read Extensively英语阅读理解真题考研二级3Text 3Scientists have found that although we are prone to snap overreactions, if we take a moment and think about how we arelikely 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. T o 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 interpersonal 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 muck longer evaluation; two days, not two seconds.Our ability to mute our hard-wired reactions by pausing is what differentiates us from animals: doge 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 have the i maginative capacity to rise above temptation and reverse the high-speed trend.31. The time needed in making decisions may____.[A] vary according to the urgency of the situation[B] prove the complexity of our brain reaction[C] depend on the importance of the assessment[D] predetermine the accuracy of our judgment32. Our reaction to a fast-food logo shows that snao decisions____.[A] can be associative[B] are not unconscious[C] can be dangerous[D] are not impulsive33. Toreverse the negative influences of snap decisions,we should____.[A] trust our first impression[B] do as people usually do[C] think before we act[D] ask for expert advice34. John Gottman says that reliable snap reaction are based on____.[A] critical assessment[B]‘‘thin sliced ’’study[C] sensible explanation[D] adequate information35. The author’s attitude toward reversing the high-speed trend is____.[A] tolerant[B] uncertain[C] optimistic[D] doubtful英语阅读理解真题考研二级4Text 3The rough guide to marketing success used to be that you got what you paid for. No longer. While traditional “paid” media – such as television commercials and print advertisements –still play a major role，companies today can exploit many alternative forms of media. Consumers passionate about a product may create “owned” media by sending e-mail alerts about products and sales to customers registered with its Web site. The way consumers now approach the broad range of factors beyond conventional paid media.Paid and owned media are controlled by marketers promoting their own products. For earned media ，such marketers act as the initiator for users‘ responses. But in some cases，one marketer’s owned media become another marketer‘s paid media – for instance， when an e-commerce retailer sells ad space on its Web site. We define such sold media as owned media whose traffic is so strong that other organizations place their content or e-commerce engines within that environment. This trend ，which we believe is still in its infancy，effectively began with retailers and travel providers such as airlines and hotels and will no doubt go further. Johnson & Johnson， for example， has created BabyCenter， a stand-alone media property that promotes complementary and even competitive products. Besides generating income， the presence of other marketers makes the site seem objective，gives companies opportunities to learn valuable information about the appeal of other companies’ marketing， and may help expand user traffic for all companies concerned.The same dramatic technological changes that have provided marketers with more (and more diverse) communications choices have also increased the risk that passionate consumers will voice their opinions in quicker， more visible， and much more damaging ways. Such hijacked media are the opposite of earned media：an asset or campaign becomes hostage to consumers，other stakeholders，or activists who make negative allegations about a brand or product. Members of social networks，for instance，are learning that they can hijack media to apply pressure on the businesses that originally created them.If that happens，passionate consumers would try to persuade others to boycott products， putting the reputation of the target company at risk. In such a case，the company‘s response may not be sufficiently quick or thoughtful， and the learning curve has been steep. Toyota Motor，for example，alleviated some of the damage from its recall crisis earlier this year with a relatively quick and well-orchestrated social-media response campaign，which included efforts to engage with consumers directly on sites such as Twitter and the social-news site Digg.31.Consumers may create “earned” media when they are[A] obscssed with online shopping at certain Web sites.[B] inspired by product-promoting e-mails sent to them.[C] eager to help their friends promote quality products.[D] enthusiastic about recommending their favorite products.32. According to Paragraph 2，sold media feature[A] a safe business environment.[B] random competition.[C] strong user traffic.[D] flexibility in organization.33. The author indicates in Paragraph 3 that earned media[A] invite constant conflicts with passionate consumers.[B] can be used to produce negative effects in marketing.[C] may be responsible for fiercer competition.[D] deserve all the negative comments about them.34. Toyota Motor‘s experience is cited as an example of[A] responding effectively to hijacked media.[B] persuading customers into boycotting products.[C] cooperating with supportive consumers.[D] taking advantage of hijacked media.35. Which of the following is the text mainly about ?[A] Alternatives to conventional paid media.[B] Conflict between hijacked and earned media.[C] Dominance of hijacked media.[D] Popularity of owned media.。

( 2008年真题Section ⅡReading Comprehension Part A Text 1 第4段第5句)The kinds of interpersonal violence that women are exposed to tend to be in domestic situations, by,主语1 定语从句谓语1 宾语unfortunately, parents or other family members, and they tend not to be one-shot deals.插入语同位语连词主语2 谓语2 宾语2译文：女性遭遇到的人际关系暴力往往来自家庭内部，通常是由——很遗憾——父母或其他家庭成员施加的，并且这些行为往往不是一次性的。

分析：该句的主干结构为and连接的两个并列分句。

第一个分句的主干是The kinds of interpersonal violence…tend to be…，其中出现了that引导的定语从句，修饰主语。

在该定语从句中，主语为women，谓语为are exposed to，关系代词that则代替先行词The kinds of interpersonal violence充当宾语。

该从句后面的动词tend是第一个分句的谓语，后面的动词不定式to be in domestic situations是宾语。

Unfortunately是第一个分句中的插入语，by parents or other family members是in domestic situations的同位语，都是用于说明第一个分句主语的状态和性质的。

第二个分句是主谓宾结构，主语2 they指代第一个分句里的主语1，动词tend 和否定词not构成谓语，后面的动词不定式to be one-shot deals是宾语。

【词汇解析】interpersonal [,intə'pə:sənl](adj.)人与人之间的,人际关系的(2008年-阅读1、2010年-阅读3)(inter-在两者之间，personal-私人的,个人的→人与人之间的,人际关系的)考点搭配：Interpersonal link 人际关系(2010年-阅读3)violence ['vaiələns](n.)猛烈,激烈;暴力(行为)(高考词汇)(2008年-阅读1)(viol=whirl-旋转，ence-名词后缀→由“高速旋转”而带来的运动状态——即“猛烈,激烈”，引申出“暴力(行为)”。

其中，viol=violence-暴力，ate-动词后缀→暴力相向、“违背”法律——即“违背;冒犯,侵犯”。

)domestic [də'mestik](adj.)家里的;国内的;驯养的(CET-4)(2008年-阅读1)(dome-圆屋顶，st=stand-站立，ic-的→站在圆屋顶下的——即“家里的”，引申为“国内的”和“驯养的”。

) ( 2005年真题Section ⅡReading Comprehension Part A Text 3第1段第6句)And one leading authority says that these intensely powerful mental events can be not only harnessed but连词主语谓语宾语从句actually brought under conscious control, to help us sleep and feel better.宾语从句译文：而一位主要的权威人士认为，这些强烈的大脑活动不仅能被控制，而且实际上能被人类有意识的控制，从而使我们的睡眠质量更高，感觉更好。

分析：本句由主句和宾语从句组成，宾语从句中有not only…but…结构，该结构连接了并列的被动语态的谓语。

如果将这个结构找到，分析起来会非常容易。

本句的主干为…one leading authority says that…，由that引导的从句充当句子的宾语，these intensely powerful mental events 充当该宾语从句的主语，谓语结构由not only…but连接，句末的不等式结构to help us sleep…为从句的目的状语。

)随着天气渐渐转凉，秋季的脚步临近，考研人告别酷热的8月，在不知不觉中进入到秋季强化阶段。

如何选择考研辅导班：在考研准备的过程中，会遇到不少困难，尤其对于跨专业考生的专业课来说，通过报辅导班来弥补自己复习的不足，可以大大提高复习效率，节省复习时间，大家可以通过以下几个方面来考察辅导班，或许能帮你找到适合你的辅导班。

师资力量：师资力量是考察辅导班的首要因素，考生可以针对辅导名师的辅导年限、辅导经验、历年辅导效果、学员评价等因素进行综合评价，询问往届学长然后选择。

判断师资力量关键在于综合实力，因为任何一门课程，都不是由一、两个教师包到底的，是一批教师配合的结果。

还要深入了解教师的学术背景、资料著述成就、辅导成就等。

凯程考研名师云集，李海洋、张鑫教授、方浩教授、卢营教授、孙浩教授等一大批名师在凯程授课。

而有的机构只是很普通的老师授课，对知识点把握和命题方向，欠缺火候。

对该专业有辅导历史：必须对该专业深刻理解，才能深入辅导学员考取该校。

在考研辅导班中，从来见过如此辉煌的成绩：凯程教育拿下2015五道口金融学院状元，考取五道口15人，清华经管金融硕士10人，人大金融硕士15个，中财和贸大金融硕士合计20人，北师大教育学7人，会计硕士保录班考取30人，翻译硕士接近20人，中传状元王园璐、郑家威都是来自凯程，法学方面，凯程在人大、北大、贸大、政法、武汉大学、公安大学等院校斩获多个法学和法硕状元，更多专业成绩请查看凯程网站。

在凯程官方网站的光荣榜，成功学员经验谈视频特别多，都是凯程战绩的最好证明。

对于如此高的成绩，凯程集训营班主任邢老师说，凯程如此优异的成绩，是与我们凯程严格的管理，全方位的辅导是分不开的，很多学生本科都不是名校，某些学生来自二本三本甚至不知名的院校，还有很多是工作了多年才回来考的，大多数是跨专业考研，他们的难度大，竞争激烈，没有严格的训练和同学们的刻苦学习，是很难达到优异的成绩。

最好的办法是直接和凯程老师详细沟通一下就清楚了。

建校历史：机构成立的历史也是一个参考因素，历史越久，积累的人脉资源更多。

例如，凯程教育已经成立10年（2005年），一直以来专注于考研，成功率一直遥遥领先，同学们有兴趣可以联系一下他们在线老师或者电话。

有没有实体学校校区：有些机构比较小，就是一个在写字楼里上课，自习，这种环境是不太好的，一个优秀的机构必须是在教学环境，大学校园这样环境。
