2015考研英语阅读真题：考研英语(二)第4篇-毙考题

2015考研英语阅读真题：考研英语（二）第4篇Many people talked of the 288,000 new jobs the Labor Department reported for June, along with the drop in the unemployment rate to 6.1 percent, as good news.And they were right.For now it appears the economy is creating jobs at a decent pace.We still have a long way to go to get back to full employment, but at least we are now finally moving forward at a faster pace.However, there is another important part of the jobs picture that was largely overlooked.There was a big jump in the number of people who report voluntarily working part-time.This figure is now 830,000(4.4 percent) above its year ago level.Before explaining the connection to the Obamacare, it is worth making an important distinction.Many people who work part-time jobs actually want full-time jobs.They take part-time work because this is all they can get.An increase in involuntary part-time work is evidence of weakness in the labor marketand it means that many people will be having a very hard time making ends meet.There was an increase in involuntary part-time in June, but the general direction has been down.Involuntary part-time employment is still far higher than before the recession, but it is down by 640,000(7.9 percent)from is year ago level.We know the difference between voluntary and involuntary part-time employment because people tell us.The survey used by the Labor Department asks people is they worked less than 35 hours in the reference week.If the answer is “yes,” they are classified as working part-time.The survey then asks whether they worked less than 35 hours in that week because they wanted to work less than full time or because they had no choice.They are only classified as voluntary part-time workers if they tell the survey taker they chose to work less than 35 hours a week.The issue of voluntary part-time relates to Obamacare because one of the main purposes was to allow people to get insurance outside of employment.For many people, especially those with serious health conditions or family members with serious health conditions,before Obamacare the only way to get insurance was through a job that provided health insurance.However, Obamacare has allowed more than 12 million people to either get insurance through Medicaid or the exchanges.These are people who may previously have felt the need to get a full-time job that provided insurance in order to cover themselves and their families.With Obamacare there is no longer a link between employment and insurance.对于劳动部门所报告的六月份新增28.8万个工作岗位和失业率下降至6.1个百分点，很多人都说这是个利好消息。

Researchers measured people’s cortisol, which isstress marker, while they were at work and while they were at home and found ithigher at what is supposed to be a place of refuge.“Further contradicting conventional wisdom, we found tha t women as well asmen have lower levels of stress at work than at home,” writes one of theresearchers, Sarah Damaske. In fact women even say they feel better at work, shenotes, “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 andwithout, but more so for nonparents. This is why people who work outside thehome have better health.What the study doesn’t measure is whether people are still doing work whenthey’re at home, whether it is household work or work brought home from theoffice. For many men, the end of the workday is a time to kickback. For womenwho stay home, they never get to leave the office. And for women who workoutside the home, they often are playing catch-up-with-household tasks. With theblurring of roles, and the fact that the home front lags well behind the workplace inmaking adjustments for working women, it’s not surprising that women are morestressed at home.But it’s not just a gender thing. At work, people pretty much know whatthey’re supposed to be doing: working, making money, doing the tasks they haveto do in order to draw an income. The bargain is very pure: Employee puts in hoursof physical or mental labor and employee draws out life-sustaining moola.On the home front, however, people have no such clarity. Rare is the householdin which the division of labor is so clinically and methodically laid out. There are alot of tasks to be done, there are inadequate rewards for most of them. Your homecolleagues- your family- have no clear rewards for their labor; they need to betalked into it, or if they’re teenagers, threatened with complete removal of allelectronic devices. Plus, they’re your family. You cannot fire your family. You neverreally get to go home from home.So it’s not surprising that people are more stressed at home. Not only are thetasks apparently infinite, the co- workers are much harder to motivate.21. According to Paragraph 1, most previous surveys found that home_______[A] was an unrealistic place for relaxation[B] generated more stress than the workplace[C] was an ideal place for stress measurement[D] offered greater relaxation than the workplace22. According to Damaske, who are likely to be the happiest at home?[A] Working mothers[B] Childless husbands[C] Childless wives[D] Working fathers23. The blurring of working women’s roles refers to the fact thay_______[A] they are both bread winners and housewives[B] their home is also a place for kicking back[C] there is often much housework left behind[D] it is difficult for them to leave their office24. The word “moola”(Line 4, Para 4) most probably means_______[A] energy[B] skills[C] earnings[D] nutrition25. The home front differs from the workplace in that_______[A] home is hardly a cozier working environment[B] division of labor at home is seldom clear-cut[C] household tasks are generally more motivating[D] family labor is often adequately rewardedText2For years, studies have found that first-generation college students- those whodo not have a parent with a college degree- lag other students on a range ofeducation achievement factors. Their grades are lower and their dropout rates arehigher. But since such students are most likely to advance economically if theysucceed in higher education, colleges and universities have pushed for decades torecruit more of them. This has created “a paradox” in that recruiting firstgenerationstudents, but then watching many of them fail, means that highereducation has “continued to reproduce and widen, rather than close” abachievement gap based on social class, according to the depressing beginning of apaper forthcoming in the journal Psychological Science.But the article is actually quite optimistic, as it outlines a potential solution to thisproblem, suggesting that an approach (which involves a one-hour, next-to-no-costprogram) can close 63 percent of the achievement gap (measured by such factorsas grades) between first-generation and other students.The authors of the paper are from different universities, and their findings arebased on a study involving 147 students ( who completed the project) at anunnamed private university. First generation was defined as not having a parentwith a four-year college degree. Most of the first-generation students(59.1 percent)were recipients of Pell Grants, a federal grant for undergraduates with financialneed, while this was true only for 8.6 percent of the students wit at least one parentwith a four-year degree.Their thesis- that a relatively modest intervention could have a big impact- wasbased on the view that first-generation students may be most lacking not inpotential but in practical knowledge about how to deal with the issues that facemost college students. They cite past research by several authors to show that thisis the gap that must be narrowed to close the achievement gap.Many first- generation students “struggle to navigate the middle-class culture ofhigher education, learn th e ‘rules of the game,’ and take advantage of collegeresources,” they write. And this becomes more of a problem when collages don’ttalk about the class advantage and disadvantages of different groups of students.Because US colleges and universities seldom acknowledge how social class canaffect students ’educational experience, many first-generation students lack sightabout why they are struggling and do not understand how students’ like themcan improve.26. Recruiting more first- generation students has_______[A] reduced their dropout rates[B] narrowed the achievement gao[C] missed its original purpose[D] depressed college students27. The author of the research article are optimistic because_______[A] the problem is solvable[B] their approach is costless[C] the recruiting rate has increased[D] their finding appeal to students28. The study suggests that most first- generation students______[A] study at private universities[B] are from single-parent families[C] are in need of financial support[D] have failed their collage29. The author of the paper believe that first-generation students_______[A] are actually indifferent to the achievement gap[B] can have a potential influence on other students[C] may lack opportunities to apply for research projects[D] are inexperienced in handling their issues at college30. We may infer from the last paragraph that_______[A] universities often reject the culture of the middle-class[B] students are usually to blame for their lack of resources[C] social class greatly helps enrich educational experiences[D] colleges are partly responsible for the problem in questionText3Even in traditional offices, “the lingua franca of corporate America has gottenmuch more emotional and much more right-brained than it was 20 years ago,”said Harvard Business School professor Nancy Koehn. She started spinning offexamples. “If you and I parachuted back to Fortune 500 companies in 1990, wewould see much less frequent use of terms like journey, mission, passion. Therewere goals, there were strategies, there were objectives, but we didn’t talk aboutenergy; we didn’t talk about passion.”Koehn pointed out that this new era of corporate vocabulary is very“team”-oriented—and not by coincidence. “Let’s not forget sports—inmale-dominated corporate America, it’s still a big deal. It’s not explicitlyconscious; it’s the idea that I’m a coach, and you’re my team, and we’re in thistogether. There are lots and lots of CEOs in very different companies, but mostthink of themselves as coaches and this is their team and they want to win.”These terms are also intended to infuse work with meaning—and, as Khuranapoints out, increase allegiance to the firm. “You have the importation ofterminology that historically used to be associated with non-profit organizationsand religious organizations: Terms like vision, values, passion, and purpose,” saidKhurana.This new focus on personal fulfillment can help keep employees motivatedamid increasingly loud debates over work-life balance. The “mommy wars” of the1990s are still going on today, prompting arguments about why women 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’ll be more likely to devote yourself to it, even ifthat means going home for dinner and then working long after the kids are in bed.But this seems to be the irony of office speak: Everyonemakes fun of it, butmanagers love it, companies depend on it, and regular people willingly absorb it.As Nunberg said, “You can get people to think it’s nonsense at the same timethat you b uy into it.” In a workplace that’s fundamentally indifferent to your lifeand its meaning, office speak can help you figure out how you relate to yourwork—and how your work defines who you are.31. According to Nancy Koehn,office language has become_____[A] more emotional[B] more objective[C] less energetic[D] 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 itText 4Many people talked of the 288,000 new jobs the Labor Department reported forJune, along with the drop in the unemployment rate to 6.1 percent, as good news.And they were right. For now it appears the economy is creating jobs at a decentpace.

According to Nancy Koehn ,office languages become_____.[A] more emotional[B] more objective[C] less energetic[D] 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] forster 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 debates among mommies[D] praises motivated employees35.Which of the following statements is ture 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.Text 4Many people talked of the 288,000 new jobs the Labor Department reported for June, along with the drop in the unemployment rate to 6.1percent, as good news. And they were right. For now it appears the economy is creating jobs at a decent pace. We still have a long way to go to get back to full employment, but at least we are now finally moving forward at a faster pace.However, there is another important part of the jobs picture that was largely overlooked. There was a big jump in the number of people who report voluntarily working part-time. This figure is now 830,000 (4.4 percent) above its year ago level.Before explaining the connection to the Obamacare, it is worth making an important distinction. Many people who work part-time work because this is all they can get. An increase in involuntary part-time work is evidence of weakness in the labor market and it means that many people will be having a very hard time making ends meet.There was an increase in involuntary part-time in June, but the general direction has been down. Involuntary part-time employment is still far higher than before the recession, but it is down by 640,000(7.9percent) from is its year level.We know the difference between voluntary and involuntary part-time employment because people tell us. The survey used by the Labor Department asks people if they worked less than 35 hours in the reference week. If the answer is “yes,” they are classified as working part-time. The survey then asks whether they worked less than 35 hours in that week because they wanted to work less than full time or because they had no choice. They are only classified as voluntary part-time workers if they tell the survey taker they chose to work less than 35 hours a week.The issue of voluntary part-time relates to Obamacare because one of the main purpose was to allow people to get insurance outside of employment. For many people, especially those with serious health conditions or family members with serious health conditions, before Obamacare the only way to get insurance was through a job that provided health insurance.However, Obamacare has allowed more than 12 million people to either get insurance through Medicaid or the exchanges. These are people who may previously have felt the need to get a full-time job that provided insurance in order to cover themselves and their families. With Obamacare there is no longer a link between employment and insurance.36.Which part of the jobs picture was neglected?[A] The prospect of a thriving job market.[B] The increase of voluntary part-time jobs.[C] The possibility of full employment.[D] The acceleration of job creation.37.Many people work part-time because they_____.[A] prefer part-time jobs to full-time jobs.[B] feel that is enough to make ends meet.[C] cannot get their hands on full-time jobs.[D] haven’t seen the weakness of the market.38.Involuntary part-time employment in the US____.[A] is harder to acquire than one year ago.[B] shows a general tendency of decline.[C] satisfies the real need of the jobless.[D] is lower than befor the recession.39.It can be learned that with Obamacare,_____.[A] it is no longer easy for part-times to get insurance.[B] employment is no longer a precondition to get insurance.[C] it is still challenging to get insurance for family members.[D] full-time employment is still essential for insurance.40.The text mainly discusses_____.[A] employment in the US.[B] part-timer clssification.[C] insurance through Medicaid.[D] Obamacare’s trouble.PART BDirections:Read the following text and answer the questions by choosing the most suitable subheading from the list A-G for each paragraph (41-45). There are two extra subheadings which you do not need to use. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. (10 points)[A]You are not alone[B]Don’t fear responsibility for your life[C]Pave your own unique path[D] Most of your fears are unreal[E] Think about the present moment[F]Experience helps you grow[G]There are many things to be grateful forSome Old Truths to Help You Overcome Tough TimesUnfortunately, life is not a bed of roses. We are going through life facing sad experiences. Moreover, we are grieving various kinds of loss: a friendship, a romantic relationship or a house. Hard times may hold you down at what usually seems like the most inopportune time, but you should remember that they won't last forever.When our time of mourning is over, we press forward, stronger with a greater understanding and respect for life. Furthermore, these losses make us mature and eventually move us toward future opportunities for growth and happiness. I want to share these old truths I've learned along the way.41.__________________Fear is both useful and harmful. This normal human reaction is used to protect us by signaling danger and preparing us to deal with it. Unfortunately, people create inner barriers with a help o f exaggerating fears. My favorite actor Will Smith once said, “Fear is not real. It is a product of thoughts you create. Do not misunderstand me. Danger is very real. But fear is a choice.”I do completely agree that fears are just the product of own luxuriant imagination.42.__________________If you are surrounded by problems and cannot stop thinking about past, try to focus on the present moment. Many of us are weighed down by the past or anxious about the future. You may feel guilt over your past, but you are poisoning the present with the things and circumstances you cannot change. Value the present moment and remember how fortunate you are to be alive. Enjoy the beauty of the world around and keep the eyes open to see the possibilities before you. Happiness is not point of future and not a moment from the past, but a mindset thancan be designed in to the present.43.__________________Sometimes it is easy to feel bad because you are going to through tough times. You can be easily caught up by life problems that you forget to pause and appreciate the things you have. Only strong people prefer to smile and value their life instead of crying and complaining about something.44.__________________No matter how isolated you might feel and how serious the situation is, you should always remember that you are not alone. Try to keep in mind that almost everyone respects and wants to help you if you are trying to make a good change in your life, especially your dearest and nearest people. You may have a circle of friends or relatives, try to participate in several online communities, full of people who are always willing to share advice and encouragement.45.__________________Today many people find it difficult to trust their own opinion and seek balance by gaining objectivity from external sources. This way you devalue your opinion and show that you are incapable of managing your own life. When you are struggling to achieve something important you should believe in yourself and be sure that your decision is the best. You live in your skin, think your own thoughts, have your own values and make your own choices.Section III Translation46. DirectionsTranslate the following text into Chinese. Write your translation on the ANSWER SHEET.(15 points)Think about driving a route that’s very familiar. It could be your comminutes to work, a trip into town or the way home. Whichever it is, you know every twist step turn like the back of your hand. On these steps of trips it’s easy to lose concentration is that you perceive t hat the trip has taken less time than it actually has.This is the well-travelled road effect. People tend to underestimate the time it takes to travel a familiar route.The effect is caused by the way we allocate our attention. When we travel down a well-known route, because we don’t have to concentrate much, time seems to flow more quickly. And afterward, when we come to think back on it, we can’t remember the journey well because we didn’t pay much attention to it. So we assume it was shorter.Section IV WritingPart A47.

2015英语一阅读2

2015英语一阅读22015年考研英语一阅读理解真题第二篇：In Cambodia the choice of a spouse is a complex one for the young male. It may involve surveying a potential wife's family background to ensure that they are suitably matched to his own, and even均衡地分配家中 workload——just to ensure that an equitable balance is maintained, young men take to courting mothers first, to make sure that they and the families are of the same mind, and it is only after much consultation that a young man will choose his own mate, often with the组队 approval of his parents. This top-down approach may seem odd to those who prize individual freedom in matters of love. But in Cambodia, it is an acceptable practice that feels right.The practice of choosing a mate and seeking the family's approval is not confined to Cambodia. In the highlands of New Guinea the father of the prospective groom takes his son on a hunt, and if they kill a pig, it is considered a good omen. However, if they fail to bag one, it is seen as an inauspicious sign and the marriage is called off. Among the Arapesh people of New Guinea a young man must go tohis prospective mother-in-law's house to propose and present her with a pig. If she accepts him, he then has to provide her with firewood for six months，after which he may expect his proposal to be accepted.In primitive cultures, the young men often have to do "preliminary" work——proving their worthiness by performing some task, such as building a house or killing game——before they are allowed to marry the girl of their choice. The Aché of Paraguay are known as the most hardworking people in the Amazon Basin. A young Aché man has to work for several years as a hunter to be allowed to marry——and his wife is not his first sexual partner.The Aché, like many primitive cultures, have a str ong cultural message: "You must not have sex outside marriage." This message is so strong that even after years of promiscuity in their late teens and early twenties, the Aché men will still adhere to it when they are older. In fact, this pattern of behavi or is not unique to the Aché. Among the Gebusi of New Guinea, it is taken for granted that a man has lost status if he has sex with a woman before marriage.The Gebusi men are expected to choose their own wife——and they will choose a woman who is already pregnant. This custom also exists in parts of Melanesia and among the Ibibio people of Nigeria. The Ibibio believe that a pregnant woman brings with her a dowry——a sort of insurance that she will produce male offspring. This is not considered exploitation——it is accepted practice.In Melanesia, if a man wants to marry a girl, it is customary for him to ask her father for her hand in marriage. The father will ask for a substantial sum of money as a dowry for his daughter. If the man agrees, he then has to provide pigs and shells as a further dowry. The man who marries without paying this "bride price" is considered an outcast and will be shunned by other members of the community.In many primitive cultures, marriage is not seen as a romantic union between a man and a woman who love each other. Marriage is about securing the future of the clan or tribe and ensuring that the sexual needs of each member are met. It is only in modern society that people are free to choose their own spouse without any consideration of the wider effects on society or the future of their children.这是一篇关于不同文化中择偶和婚姻习俗的文章。

2015考研英语阅读真题：考研英语(二)第4篇_毙考题

2015考研英语二真题阅读理解解析(第四篇)

2015考研英语二真题阅读理解解析（第四篇）2015考研英语已经落下帷幕，今年英二考题的传统阅读部分在选项设计方面难度增加。

下面笔者就阅读第四篇进行深度解析。

第二篇阅读选自2014年7月7日在theHuffington Post发表的名为“The Good News About Obamacare in the June Jobs Report”的文章，就题材来说属于社会生活类，主要内容是描述了奥巴马的医保政策促进了美国的就业及其原因。

文章后五道考题中四道细节题，一道主旨题，其难度与往年第四篇相比趋于稳定。

首先36题是一道细节题。

该题考察了考生对文章第二段前两句的细节理解。

该题主要可采用我们钻石卡VIP课程中经常讲到的细节定位法。

根据题干关键词“job pictures, neglected”可以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。

故正确答案为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。

阅读中的这种同义替换也是我们课程中屡次强调的考点。

A选项（蒸蒸日上的用工市场的前景）和D选项（加速创造就业机会）均是对第一段就业形势好的一种描述，并没有说这种现象被忽视。

故排除。

而C选项（全民就业的可能性），文中第一段只是客观描述了我们依然有很长的路才能达到全民就业，而并不是说这种问题被忽略，故C选项排除。

A项“票”，B项“允许”，C项“信号，打招呼”，D项“记录”;选项中，只有C项符合上下⽂语义，因此signal正确。

2、【答案】[D] much 【解析】第⼆个空格所在句⼦的语义内容是：我们避免和其他⼈交流是件很悲哀的是，原因在与和陌⽣⼈交流，我们会收获_______。

根据句⼦内容，显然是指和陌⽣⼈交流，我们会从中收获很多东西。

A.B.C.三个选项均不符合句意。

2015考研英语备考：那些关于“小孩子”
的事
关爱孩子是全世界通用的标准，英语语言国家也不例外，关注考研英语，就要了解相应文化了，命题人也会从这些共通的文化出发，进行考研英语的命题，整理历年相关真题和与孩子有关的相关词汇，助力英语复习。

一、考研真题对对碰
老师始终在倡导考生要认真研究真题，然而这个研究不光是每个单词、每句话，考生们还要对考研英语的高频题材进行细致研究，将其归类汇总成一种类型的真题，再综合将单词、长难句细致学习。

“孩子”的题材长盛不衰，值得考生注意。

在考研英语一07年、11年，考研英语二12年阅读理解中均有文章出现。

(2011年Text4)提倡理性的育儿幸福观
作者在第一段介绍了詹妮弗做妈妈的报道，之后通过其他杂志的相关报道指出了社会对生育的鼓励。

接着作者表达了自己的看法：杂志类似的报道给没有孩子的父母带来了压力。

最后作者指出媒体影响下的社会育儿观，实际上加剧了人们对育儿体验的不满。

It‘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 people talking like the suggestion that child rearing is anything less than a completely fulfilling, life-enriching experience.
①Rather 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 Anist on 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 are provoked to wonder if they shouldn’t have had kids, but unhappy childless folks are bothered with the message②that 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” might make us look just a little bit like Jennifer Aniston.
长难句分析：
{C}①{C}It’s no surprise是句子主干，it为形式主语，真正的主语为that后面的句子。

译文为：詹妮弗·西尼尔的杂志封面文章《我爱我的孩子，我讨厌我的生活》颇具见解且发人深省，毫无疑问这正引起大家的热议。

没有什么比“抚养孩子绝对完全是一段令人愉悦、丰富生活的经历”更能引起人们的讨论。

{C}②{C}划线部分为句子主干，本句由两个分句组成，两个分句由but连词链接。

在第一个分句中，Unhappy parents为主语，rarely are provoked to wonder为谓语。

第二个分句中，that引导的为同位语从句来修饰the massage,冒号后面的同位语从句补充说明第二个分句。

在2007年考研英语阅读理解中一篇父母帮助孩子顺利进入成年期的文章成为考题，在2012年考研英语二阅读理解Text2中命题人又从孩子的“衣”入手来命名考题。

各位考生可以及时翻阅总结。

二、词汇大拓展
rear抚养，抚育
cute可爱的，精明的

bother困扰，费心

广大考生们有没有从考研真题中孩子类型的写作题材众已经基本摸透命题人的出题思路了呢!如果看完能再练习一下就更好了！。
