2016考研英语二阅读真题特点：细节题题量大、难点多

从本质而言，英二的存在即是为了区分英一。

英二到今天考研为止已经有7个年头了，足以跟英一相媲美。

很多考生会轻视英二的准备，想当然的认为英二不准备也能拿高分。

若哪位考生还这样认为，就大错特错了。

研究这7年的英二阅读真题，不难发现，其文章特色与出题规律和英一已经凸显了明显的差别，而且区分也越来越明显了。

这也就对17及以后的考研学子备考英二提供了明确的途径。

研读英二这4篇文章，不管是文章还是题型，都保持稳定，基本可以说是没变化，但并不是说不难，考生们千万不可掉以轻心。

文章选择方面，英二阅读基本围绕经济类、生活类、文化类、法律类等主题来选材；出题方面，主要题型包括细节题、推理题、词义句意题、主旨题等。

今年的考题也是如此。

以史为镜，历年真题是硬道理，是绝无仅有最好的备考资料。

跨考教育英语教研室指出，2016英二阅读在题型部分有如下几个特点：一，细节题量大。

和往年一样，英二着重考察文中具体信息，即细节题。

2016英二卷子中，细节题比例如下：Text 1有4道，Text 2有4道，Text 3 有3道，Text 4有3道，细节题比例依然非常重。

其余题型分别为推理题3道，词义句意题1道，主旨题1道。

此数据已明确指出了未来英二考生的备考方向，即考察具体细节信息的精读。

一直以来跨考教育的每位阅读老师都强调精读，这也是原因所在，考生们也要清楚这就是命题人的出题命理。

二，细节题难点多。

纵观今年的细节题，主要有两方面的难点，不是两个难点，而是两方面的多个难点。

一方面为题干，读题干是解题第一步。

很多考生在考试中过于着急，导致题干没看清楚，就直接下笔做题了。

这是跨考老师们在课堂上多次重点强调过的，一定要认真慢慢一个单词一个单词的读清楚题干，然后再去做题。

时间是足够的，无需着急去选答案。

另一方面是选项，很多选项貌似和原文长的一模一样，其实不然，只是表面一样而已，实质完全不同。

只有选项是原文的同义替换，才能真正算作是正确答案。

文章的开头第一篇讲到的是尽早培养学生的编程能力。

因为我们是"互联网+"的时代。

文章谈到了它的中心思想，开头谈一个反向的观点，然后第二个取反，取反的时候有非常重要的标志。

因为在学校里不怎么重视编程教学，然后在第二段马上出现的是给你的提示"however"，这个词的出现就是提示。

后面又谈到一个词"beneficial"，这也是一个重要的词，这两个词掌握好了就好做了。

你拿到试卷以后，要在每篇题目上面写上一句话，细节服从，中心支持。

我们已经抓到了大的方向，我们认为尽早培养改革的编程能力是非常好的。

第一题，C这个人尽早让我们的孩子接受电脑科技会怎么样?这里有一个同义改写，比如我们的第一题，非常的容易。

文章中告诉我们，相比年纪更大的学生而言，我们这些年轻的孩子做一件事情就没有那么的难，所以你会发现就是一个"容易"的改写。

这道题答案就很明确了，就是定位好的句子。

这是我们的第一题，叫重新塑造你的思维方式。

在这道题当中，核心要看到一个概念，如果你这道题没有一个特别明确的思路你还可以借助中心的原则，谈到关于思维方式的问题。

第二题，谈我们的"F"这是一所高校，他在安排他课程的时候，你会发现他又做了同义改写，对应文中"安排"这个词语，安排学生课程的时候最重要的是什么事情呢?我们说过第一题定义在第二段，这里定位在第四段。

这里谈学生的兴趣，还给了一个"but"，"but"这个词后面是我们的中心。

Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. (40 points)Text 1It's true that high-school coding classes aren't essential for learning computer science in college. Students without experience can catch up after a few introductory courses, said Tom Cortina, the assistant dean at Carnegie Mellon's School of Computer Science.However, Cortina said, early exposure is beneficial. When younger kids learn computer science, they learn that it's not just a confusing, endless string of letters and numbers - but a tool to build apps, or create artwork, or test hypotheses. It's not as hard for them to transform their thought processes as it is for older students. Breaking down problems into bite-sized chunks and using code to solve them becomes normal. Giving more children thistraining could increase the number of people interested in the field and help fill the jobs gap, Cortina said.Students also benefit from learning something about coding before they get to college, where introductory computer-science classes are packed to the brim, which can drive the less-experienced or-determined students away.The Flatiron School, where people pay to learn programming, started as one of the many coding bootcamps that's become popular for adults looking for a career change. The high-schoolers get the same curriculum, but "we try to gear lessons toward things they're interested in," said Victoria Friedman, an instructor. For instance, one of the apps the students are developing suggests movies based on your mood.The students in the Flatiron class probably won't drop out of high school and build the next Facebook. Programming languages have a quick turnover, so the "Ruby on Rails" language they learned may not even be relevant by the time they enter the job market. But the skills they learn - how to think logically through a problem and organize the results - apply to any coding language, said Deborah Seehorn, an education consultant for the state of North Carolina.Indeed, the Flatiron students might not go into IT at all. But creating a future army of coders is not the sole purpose of the classes. These kids are going to be surrounded by computers-in their pockets ,in their offices, in their homes -for the rest of their lives, The younger they learn how computers think, how to coax the machine into producing what they want -theearlier they learn that they have the power to do that -the better.21.Cortina holds that early exposure to computer science makes it easier to _______[A] complete future job training[B] remodel the way of thinking[C] formulate logical hypotheses[D] perfect artwork production22.In delivering lessons for high - schoolers , Flatiron has considered their________[A] experience[B] interest[C] career prospects[D] academic backgrounds23.Deborah Seehorn believes that the skills learned at Flatiron will ________[A] help students learn other computer languages[B] have to be upgraded when new technologies come[C] need improving when students look for jobs[D] enable students to make big quick money24.According to the last paragraph, Flatiron students are expected to ______[A] bring forth innovative computer technologies[B] stay longer in the information technology industry[C] become better prepared for the digitalized world[D] compete with a future army of programmers25.The word "coax"(Line4,Para.6) is closest in meaning to ________[A] persuade[B] frighten[C] misguide[D] challengeText 2Biologists estimate that as many as 2 million lesser prairie chickens---a kind of bird living on stretching grasslands-once lent red to the often grey landscape of the midwestern and southwestern United States. But just some 22,000 birds remain today, occupying about 16% of the species 'historic range.The crash was a major reason the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS)decided to formally list the bird as threatened ."The lesser prairie chicken is in a desperate situation ," said USFWS Director Daniel Ashe. Some environmentalists, however, were disappointed. They had pushed the agency to designate the bird as "endangered," a status that gives federal officials greater regulatory power to crack down on threats .But Ashe and othersargued that the" threatened" tag gave the federal government flexibility to try out new, potentially less confrontational conservations approaches. In particular, they called for forging closer collaborations with western state governments, which are often uneasy with federal action. and with the private landowners who control an estimated 95% of the prairie chicken's habitat.Under the plan, for example, the agency said it would not prosecute landowner or businesses that unintentionally kill, harm, or disturb the bird, as long as they had signed a range-wide management plan to restore prairie chicken habitat. Negotiated by USFWS and the states, the plan requires individuals and businesses that damage habitat as part of their operations to pay into a fund to replace every acre destroyedwith 2 new acres of suitable habitat .The fund will also be used to compensate landowners who set aside habitat , USFWS also set an interim goal of restoring prairie chicken populations to an annual average of 67,000 birds over the next 10 years .And it gives the Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies (WAFWA), a coalition of state agencies, the job of monitoring progress. Overall, the idea is to let "states" remain in the driver 's seat for managing the species," Ashe said.Not everyone buys the win-win rhetoric. Some Congress members are trying to block the plan, and at least a dozen industry groups, four states, and three environmental groups are challenging it in federal court. Not surprisingly, doesn't go far enough. "The federal government is giving responsibility for managing the birdto the same industries that are pushing it to extinction, " says biologist Jay Lininger.26.The major reason for listing the lesser prairie as threatened is____.[A]its drastically decreased population[B]the underestimate of the grassland acreage[C]a desperate appeal from some biologists[D]the insistence of private landowners27.The "threatened" tag disappointed some environmentalists in that it_____.[A]was a give-in to governmental pressure[B]would involve fewer agencies in action[C]granted less federal regulatory power[D]went against conservation policies28.It can be learned from Paragraph3 that unintentional harm-doers will not be prosecuted if they_____.[A]agree to pay a sum for compensation[B]volunteer to set up an equally big habitat[C]offer to support the WAFWA monitoring job[D]promise to raise funds for USFWS operations29.According to Ashe, the leading role in managing the species in______.[A]the federal government[B]the wildlife agencies[C]the landowners[D]the states30.Jay Lininger would most likely support_______.[A]industry groups[B]the win-win rhetoric[C]environmental groups[D]the plan under challengeText 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 simplythat one is interrupted; it is that one 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 thesedifferent-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 justreading, 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 ExtensivelyText 4Against a backdrop of drastic changes in economy and population structure,younger Americans are drawing a new 21st-century road map to success, a latest poll has found.Across generational lines, Americans continue to prize many of the same traditional milestones of a successful life, including getting married, having children, owning a home, and retiring in their sixties. But while young and old mostly agree on what constitutes the finish line of a fulfilling life, they offer strikingly different paths for reaching it.Young people who are still getting started in life were more likely than older adults to prioritize personal fulfillment in their work, to believe they will advance their careers most by regularly changing jobs, to favor communities with more public services and a faster pace of life, to agree that couples should be financially secure before getting married or having children,and to maintain that children are best served by two parents working outside the home, the survey found.From career to community and family, these contrasts suggest that in the aftermath of the searing Great Recession, those just starting out in life are defining priorities and expectations that will increasingly spread through virtually all aspects of American life, from consumer preferences to housing patterns to politics.Young and old converge on one key point: Overwhelming majorities of both groups said they believe it is harder for young people today to get started in life than it was for earlier generations. Whlie younger people are somewhat more optimistic than their elders about the prospects for those starting out today, big majorities in both groups believe those "just getting started in life" face a tougher agood-paying job, starting a family, managing debt, and finding affordable housing.Pete Schneider considers the climb tougher today. Schneider, a 27-yaear-old auto technician from the Chicago suburbs says he struggled to find a job after graduating from college. Even now that he is working steadily, he said." I can't afford to pay ma monthly mortgage payments on my own, so I have to rent rooms out to people to mark that happen." Looking back, he is struck that his parents could provide a comfortable life for their children even though neither had completed college when he was young."I still grew up in an upper middle-class home with parents who didn't have college degrees,"Schneider said."I don't think people are capable of that anymore. "36. One cross-generation mark of a successful life is .[A] trying out different lifestyles[B] having a family with children[C] working beyond retirement age[D] setting up a profitable business37. It can be learned from Paragraph 3 that young people tend to .[A] favor a slower life pace[B] hold an occupation longer[C] attach importance to pre-marital finance[D] give priority to childcare outside the home38. The priorities and expectations defined by the young will .[A] become increasingly clear[B] focus on materialistic issues[C] depend largely on political preferences[D] reach almost all aspects of American life39. Both young and old agree that .[A] good-paying jobs are less available[B] the old made more life achievements[C] housing loans today are easy to obtain[D] getting established is harder for the young40. Which of the following is true about Schneider?[A] He found a dream job after graduating from college[B] His parents believe working steadily is a must for success[C] His parents' good life has little to do with a college degree[D] He thinks his job as a technician quite challengingPart BDirections:Read the following text and answer the questions by choosing the most suitable subheading from the list A-G for each numbered paragraphs (41-45). There are two extra subheadings which you do not need to use. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. (10 points)[A] Be silly[B] Have fun[C] Ask for help[D] Express your emotions.[E] Don't overthink it[F] Be easily pleased[G] Notice thingsAct Your Shoe Size, Not Your Age.(1) As adults, it seems that we're constantly pursuing happiness, often with mixed results. Yet children appear to have it down to an art-and for the most part they don't need self-help books or therapy.Instead, they look after their wellbeing instinctively and usually more effectively than we do as grownups. Perhaps it's time to learn a few lessons from them.41_____ [D] Express your emotions(2) What does a child do when he's sad? He cries. When he's angry? He shouts. Scared? Probably a bit of both. As we grow up, we learn to control our emotions so they are manageable and don't dictate our behaviours, which is in many ways a good thing. But too often we take this process too far and end up suppressing emotions, especially negative ones. That's about as effective as brushing dirt under a carpet and can even make us ill. What we feel appropriately and then-again, like children-move on.42______[F] Be easily pleasedA couple of Christmases ago, my youngest stepdaughter, who was 9 yearsold at the time, got a Superman T-shirt for Christmas. It cost less than a fiver but she was overjoyed, and couldn't bigger house or better car will be the magic silver bullet that will allow us to finally be content, but the reality is these things have little lasting impact on our happiness levels. Instead, being grateful for small things every day is a much better way to improve wellbeing.43_______[A] Be sillyHave you ever noticed how much children laugh? If we adults could indulge in a bit of silliness and giggling, we would reduce the stress hormones in our bodies, increase good hormones like endorphins, improve blood flow to our hearts and ever have a greater chance of fighting off infection. All of which would, of course, have a positive effect on our happiness levels.44______ [B] Have funThe problem with being a grownup is that there's an awful lot of serious stuff to deal with-work, mortgage payments, figuring out what to cook for dinner. But as adults we also have the luxury of being able to control our own diaries and it's important that we schedule in time to enjoy the thing we love. Those things might be social, sporting, creative or completely random (dancing around the living room, anyone?)-it doesn't matter, so long as they're enjoyable, and not likely to have negative side effects, such as drinking too much alcohol or going on a wild spending spree if you're on a tight budget.45______ [E] Don't overthink itHaving said all of the above, it's important to add that we shouldn't try too hard to be happy. Scientists tell us this can back fire and actually have a negative impact on our wellbeing. As the Chinesephilosopher Chuang Tzu is reported to have said: "Happiness is the absence of striving for happiness." And in that, once more, we need to look to the example of our children, to whom happiness is not a goal but a natural byproduct of the way they live.Section III TranslationDirections:Translate the following text into Chinese. Write your translation on the ANSWER SHEET. (15 points)The supermarket is designed to lure customers into spending as much time as possible within its doors. The reason for this is simple: The longer you stay in the store, the more stuff you'll see, and the more stuff you see, the more you'll buy. And supermarkets contain a lot of stuff. The average supermarket, according to the Food Marketing Institute, carries some 44,000 different items, and many carry tensof thousands more. The sheer volume of available choice is enough to send shoppers into a state of information overload. According to brain-scan experiments, the demands of so much decision-making quickly become too much for us. After about 40 minutes of shopping, most people stop struggling to be rationally selective, and instead began shopping emotionally-which is the point at which we accumulate the 50 percent of stuff in our cart that we never intended buying.【参考译文】超市旨在吸引顾客在自己店内停留尽量长的时间。

2016年考研英语(二)真题完型全面解析

2016年考研英语（二）真题完型全面解析2016届的研究生英语考试已经降下帷幕。

本篇文章主要针对2016届考研英语（二）的完型部分为大家做简要的总结和分析，从而也为2017届的英语二考生提供一些必要的复习准备要点。

今年的完型文章难度及题目难度基本与往年持平。

文章探讨幸福与公司投资之间的关系，主题通俗易懂。

从题型分布上来讲，仍然具备以下特征：(一)从句引导词近年来，完形填空专门测试语法的题目不多，重点在词汇及对上下文的理解上，但我们发现，完形填空一旦考语法，就一定是与定语从句、名词性从句等各类从句引导词有关。

例如：And new research suggest that happiness might influence (1)______ firms work, too.1. [A] why [B] where [C] how [D] when空格（1）显然考查名词性从句中的宾语从句的引导词，且引导词还必须在宾语从句中做状语，修饰work。

根据文章主旨，快乐可能会影响的应该是公司的运营方式，而不是它的运营地点，运营原因或运营时间，因此最恰当的的选项只能是C选项。

因此考生要特别关注如何正确使用从句引导词，并能将其吃透。

(二)固定搭配是词汇考查的重点固定搭配是考研完型中的必考题型，它要求考生对于一些常用的英文惯用表达法进行必要的识记。

要做好这类题，需要有较大的词汇量和词语搭配能力、词语辨析能力，特别是在特定的语境中能灵活运用的能力。

例如：“It surely seems plausible that happy people would be more forward-thinking and creative and (20)______ R&D more than the average,”said one researcher.20.[A] pray for [B] lean towards [C] give away [D] send out此处考察固定搭配。

2016考研英语(二)六大题型命题趋势图解

2016考研英语(二)六大题型命题趋势自考研英语(二)出现以来，陆续成为很多热门专硕的英语选择。

从难度上讲，英语(二)比英语(一)略简单，但这只是笼统的概念。

实际上，英语(二)的考点并不与英语(一)完全重合，相反，英语(二)有很多独特的知识点。

找准这些知识点重点复习，能够有效地提高英语(二)的成绩。

为了从总体上把握2016年考研英语(二)的命题趋势，明了命题者的意图和考查要点，我们对2014年12月份全国硕士研究生入学统一考试英语(二)试题的各个题型进行了考点分析，并与历年真题中的考点分析数据相结合，分别形成了以下分析图表。

►图表一：完型知识点考查分布由上表分析得出，词汇的考查在英语二完型填空中比在英语一中更加明显，比重占到了75%左右。

但从考查角度上分析，与英一区别很大，英二侧重对上下文语义的理解，选择词汇也是基于这一点，而不重在词汇之间的辨析，甚至连介词的考查也不是考查固定搭配而是重语篇内容的理解。

由此，对文章内容正确理解在英二完型中的重要性可见一斑。

对于2015年的完型题目来说更是如此，选项的干扰性不强，而且词汇不难，比往年要简单。

建议2016年的考生从现在就开始打好词汇基础，培养自己的阅读能力。

►图表二：阅读理解知识点考查分布由上表分析得出，细节题在英语二的考查项目中所占的比重相当大，也就是说重点考查考生对文章某个句子或段落的准确理解。

由此，可以看出英语二的要求比英语一要低，超纲的词汇不会考，同时英语一中对考生的八大阅读能力要求，英语二中少了“理解文中的概念性含义”和“区分论点和论据”这两条，所以猜词题和例证题并不是英语二的重点，建议考生要有针对性的复习。

►图表三：新题型知识点考查分布由上表分析得出，多项对应是英语二新题型重点考查的一个类型。

该备选题型是英语二的一大特色，属于名副其实的“新”题型，文章后面有左右两栏内容，左栏的5道题目属于半句表达，右栏的7个选项信息属于另半句表达，考生要从中选出5个与左栏构成完整的句子。

历年考研英语阅读2016解析

考研英语阅读基本解题思路及解题技巧一、考研阅读的基本解题思路：(四步走)(1)扫描提干，划关键项。

(2)通读全文，抓住中心。

1. 通读全文，抓两个重点：①首段(中心句、核心概念常在第一段，常在首段出题);②其他各段的段首和段尾句。

(其他部分略读，有重点的读)2. 抓住中心，用一分半时间思考3个问题：①文章叙述的主要内容是什么?②文章中有无提到核心概念?③作者的大致态度是什么?3. 仔细审题，返回原文。

(仔细看题干，把每道题和原文的某处建立联系，挂起钩)定位原则：①通常是由题干出发，使用寻找关键词定位原则。

(关键词：大写字母、地名、时间、数字等)②自然段定位原则。

出题的顺序与行文的顺序是基本一致的，一般每段对应一题。

★要树立定位意识，每一题、每一选项都要回到原文中某一处定位。

4. 重叠选项，得出答案。

(重叠原文=对照原文)1. 通过题干返回原文：判断四个选项，抓住选项中的关键词，把选项定位到原文的某处比较，重叠选项，选出答案。

2.作题练习要求：要有选一个答案的理由和其余三个不选的理由二、阅读理解的解题技巧考点类型1. 例证题①例证题的标记。

当题干中出现example, case, illustrate, illustration,exemplify 时。

②返回原文，找出该例证所在的位置，既给该例子定位。

③找出该例证支持的观点。

例子周围具有概括抽象性的表达通常就是它的论点。

如果例子与全文主题有关，则例证主题，“中心思想是解”；如果例子与段落主题有关，则例证明段落主题，“段中心是解”。

注意：举例的目的是为了支持论点或是为了说明主题句。

举例后马上问这个例子说明了什么问题?不能用例子中的话来回答这个问题。

④找出该论点，并与四个选项比较，得出选项中与该论点最一致的答案。

⑤例证题错误答案设计的干扰特征经常是：就事论事。

*无：选项中所讲内容在原文中根本不存在，或找不到语言依据：如本身正确但在原句中无语言依据的无关选项，原文中没有提到甲，但选项中有甲；原文中有甲与乙，但未对甲与乙做比较，而选项中说明甲比乙如何；原文中说甲有乙特征，但选取项中说甲有乙之外的特征；选项中的限定词表示的范围或程度大于或小于文中提到的范围或程度。

Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET.(40points)Text1It’s true that high-school coding classes aren’t essential for learning computer science in college. Students without experience can catch up after a few introductory courses,said Tom Cortina,the assistant dean at Carnegie Mellon’s School of Computer Science.However,Cortina said,early exposure is beneficial.When younger kids learn computer science, they learn that it’s not just a confusing,endless string of letters and numbers–but a tool to buildapps,or create artwork,or test hypotheses.It’s not as hard for them to transform their thought processes as it is for older students.Breaking down problems into bite-sized chunks and using code to solve them becomes normal.Giving more children this training could increase the number of people interested in the field and help fill the jobs gap,Cortina said.Students also benefit from learning something about coding before they get to college,where introductory computer-science classes are packed to the brim,which can drive the less-experienced or-determined students away.The Flatiron School,where people pay to learn programming,started as one of the many coding bootcamps that’s become popular for adults looking for a career change.The high-schoolers get the same curriculum,but“we try to gear lessons toward things they’re interested in,”said Victoria Friedman,an instructor.For instance,one of the apps the students are developing suggests movies based on your mood.The students in the Flatiron class probably won’t drop out of high school and build the next Facebook.Programming languages have a quick turnover,so the“Ruby on Rails”language they learned may not even be relevant by the time they enter the job market.But the skills they learn–how to think logically through a problem and organize the results–apply to any coding language, said Deborah Seehorn,an education consultant for the state of North Carolina.Indeed,the Flatiron students might not go into IT at all.But creating a future army of coders is not the sole purpose of the classes.These kids are going to be surrounded by computers-in their pockets,in their offices,in their homes–for the rest of their lives,The younger they learn how computers think,how to coax the machine into producing what they want–the earlier they learn that they have the power to do that–the better.21.Cortina holds that early exposure to computer science makes it easier to_______plete future job trainingB.remodel the way of thinkingC.formulate logical hypothesesD.perfect artwork production22.In delivering lessons for high-schoolers,Flatiron has considered their________A.experienceB.interestC.career prospectsD.academic backgrounds23.Deborah Seehorn believes that the skills learned at Flatiron will________A.help students learn other computer languagesB.have to be upgraded when new technologies comeC.need improving when students look for jobsD.enable students to make big quick money24.According to the last paragraph,Flatiron students are expected to______A.bring forth innovative computer technologiesB.stay longer in the information technology industryC.become better prepared for the digitalized worldpete with a future army of programmers25.The word“coax”(Line4,Para.6)is closest in meaning to________A.persuadeB.frightenC.misguideD.challengeText2Biologists estimate that as many as2million lesser prairie chickens---a kind of bird living on stretching grasslands—once lent red to the often grey landscape of the midwestern and southwestern United States.But just some22,000birds remain today,occupying about16%of the species'historic range.The crash was a major reason the U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service(USFWS)decided to formally list the bird as threatened.“The lesser prairie chicken is in a desperate situation,”said USFWS Director Daniel Ashe.Some environmentalists,however,were disappointed.They had pushed the agency to designate the bird as“endangered,”a status that gives federal officials greater regulatory power to crack down on threats.But Ashe and others argued that the”threatened”tag gave the federal government flexibility to try out new,potentially less confrontational conservations approaches.In particular,they called for forging closer collaborations with westernstate governments,which are often uneasy with federal action.and with the private landowners who control an estimated95%of the prairie chicken's habitat.Under the plan,for example,the agency said it would not prosecute landowner or businesses that unintentionally kill,harm,or disturb the bird,as long as they had signed a range—wide management plan to restore prairie chicken habitat.Negotiated by USFWS and the states,the plan requires individuals and businesses that damage habitat as part of their operations to pay into a fund to replace every acre destroyed with2new acres of suitable habitat.The fund will also be used to compensate landowners who set aside habitat,USFWS also set an interim goal of restoring prairie chicken populations to an annual average of67,000birds over the next10 years.And it gives the Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies(WAFWA),a coalition of state agencies,the job of monitoring progress.Overall,the idea is to let“states”remain in the driver's seat for managing the species,”Ashe said.Not everyone buys the win-win rhetoric.Some Congress members are trying to block the plan, and at least a dozen industry groups,four states,and three environmental groups are challenging it in federal court.Not surprisingly,doesn’t go far enough.“The federal government is giving responsibility for managing the bird to the same industries that are pushing it to extinction,”says biologist Jay Lininger.26.The major reason for listing the lesser prairie as threatened is____.[A]its drastically decreased population[B]the underestimate of the grassland acreage[C]a desperate appeal from some biologists[D]the insistence of private landowners27.The“threatened”tag disappointed some environmentalists in that it_____.[A]was a give-in to governmental pressure[B]would involve fewer agencies in action[C]granted less federal regulatory power[D]went against conservation policies28.It can be learned from Paragraph3that unintentional harm-doers will not be prosecuted if they_____.[A]agree to pay a sum for compensation[B]volunteer to set up an equally big habitat[C]offer to support the WAFWA monitoring job[D]promise to raise funds for USFWS operations29.According to Ashe,the leading role in managing the species in______.[A]the federal government[B]the wildlife agencies[C]the landowners[D]the states30.Jay Lininger would most likely support_______.[A]industry groups[B]the win-win rhetoric[C]environmental groups[D]the plan under challengeText3That 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 odd30 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 that one 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.“Thefuture 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 ExtensivelyText4Against a backdrop of drastic changes in economy and population structure,younger Americans are drawing a new21st-century road map to success,a latest poll has found.Across generational lines,Americans continue to prize many of the same traditional milestones of a successful life,including getting married,having children,owning a home,and retiring in their sixties.But while young and old mostly agree on what constitutes the finish line of a fulfilling life, they offer strikingly different paths for reaching it.Young people who are still getting started in life were more likely than older adults to prioritize personal fulfillment in their work,to believe they will advance their careers most by regularly changing jobs,to favor communities with more public services and a faster pace of life,to agree that couples should be financially secure before getting married or having children,and to maintain that children are best served by two parents working outside the home,the survey found. From career to community and family,these contrasts suggest that in the aftermath of the searing Great Recession,those just starting out in life are defining priorities and expectations that will increasingly spread through virtually all aspects of American life,from consumer preferences to housing patterns to politics.Young and old converge on one key point:Overwhelming majorities of both groups said they believe it is harder for young people today to get started in life than it was for earlier generations. Whlie younger people are somewhat more optimistic than their elders about the prospects for those starting out today,big majorities in both groups believe those“just getting started in life”face a tougher a good-paying job,starting a family,managing debt,and finding affordable housing.Pete Schneider considers the climb tougher today.Schneider,a27-yaear-old auto technician from the Chicago suburbs says he struggled to find a job after graduating from college.Even now that he is working steadily,he said.”I can’t afford to pay ma monthly mortgage payments on my own, so I have to rent rooms out to people to mark that happen.”Looking back,he is struck that his parents could provide a comfortable life for their children even though neither had completed college when he was young.“I still grew up in an upper middle-class home with parents who didn’t have college degrees,”Schneider said.“I don’t think people are capable of that anymore.”36.One cross-generation mark of a successful life is.[A]trying out different lifestyles[B]having a family with children[C]working beyond retirement age[D]setting up a profitable business37.It can be learned from Paragraph3that young people tend to.[A]favor a slower life pace[B]hold an occupation longer[C]attach importance to pre-marital finance[D]give priority to childcare outside the home38.The priorities and expectations defined by the young will.[A]become increasingly clear[B]focus on materialistic issues[C]depend largely on political preferences[D]reach almost all aspects of American life39.Both young and old agree that.[A]good-paying jobs are less available[B]the old made more life achievements[C]housing loans today are easy to obtain[D]getting established is harder for the young40.Which of the following is true about Schneider?[A]He found a dream job after graduating from college[B]His parents believe working steadily is a must for success[C]His parents’good life has little to do with a college degree[D]He thinks his job as a technician quite challengingPart BDirections:Read the following text and answer the questions by choosing the most suitable subheading from the list A-G for each numbered paragraphs(41-45).There are two extra subheadings which you do not need to use.Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET.(10points)A.Be sillyB.Have funC.Ask for helpD.Express your emotions.E.Don’t overthink itF.Be easily pleasedG.Notice thingsAct Your Shoe Size,Not Your Age.(1)As adults,it seems that we’re constantly pursuing happiness,often with mixed results.Yet children appear to have it down to an art-and for the most part they don’t need self-help books or therapy.Instead,they look after their wellbeing instinctively and usually more effectively than we do as grownups.Perhaps it’s time to learn a few lessons from them.41___________.(2)What does a child do when he’s sad?He cries.When he’s angry?He shouts.Scared?Probablya bit of both.As we grow up,we learn to control our emotions so they are manageable and don’t dictate our behaviours,which is in many ways a good thing.But too often we take this process too far and end up suppressing emotions,especially negative ones.That’s about as effective as brushing dirt under a carpet and can even make us ill.What we feel appropriately and then-again, like children-move on.42__________.A couple of Christmases ago,my youngest stepdaughter,who was9years old at the time,got a Superman T-shirt for Christmas.It cost less than a fiver but she was overjoyed,and couldn’t bigger house or better car will be the magic silver bullet that will allow us to finally be content,but the reality is these things have little lasting impact on our happiness levels.Instead,being grateful for small things every day is a much better way to improve wellbeing.43__________.Have you ever noticed how much children laugh?If we adults could indulge in a bit of silliness and giggling,we would reduce the stress hormones in our bodies,increase good hormones like endorphins,improve blood flow to our hearts and ever have a greater chance of fighting off infection.All of which would,of course,have a positive effect on our happiness levels.44__________.The problem with being a grownup is that there’s an awful lot of serious stuff to deal with-work, mortgage payments,figuring out what to cook for dinner.But as adults we also have the luxury of being able to control our own diaries and it’s important that we schedule in time to enjoy the thing we love.Those things might be social,sporting,creative or completely random(dancing around the living room,anyone?)-it doesn’t matter,so long as they’re enjoyable,and not likely to have negative side effects,such as drinking too much alcohol or going on a wild spending spree if you’re on a tight budget.45__________.Having said all of the above,it’s important to add that we shouldn’t try too hard to be happy. Scientists tell us this can back fire and actually have a negative impact on our wellbeing.As the Chinese philosopher Chuang Tzu is reported to have said:“Happiness is the absence of striving for happiness.”And in that,once more,we need to look to the example of our children,to whom happiness is not a goal but a natural byproduct of the way they live.Section III TranslationDirections:Translate the following text into Chinese.Write your translation on the ANSWER SHEET.(15 points)The supermarket is designed to lure customers into spending as much time as possible within its doors.The reason for this is simple:The longer you stay in the store,the more stuff you’ll see,and the more stuff you see,the more you’ll buy.And supermarkets contain a lot of stuff.The average supermarket,according to the Food Marketing Institute,carries some44,000different items,and many carry tens of thousands more.The sheer volume of available choice is enough to sendshoppers into a state of information overload.According to brain-scan experiments,the demands of so much decision-making quickly become too much for us.After about40minutes of shopping, most people stop struggling to be rationally selective,and instead began shopping emotionally—which is the point at which we accumulate the50percent of stuff in our cart that we never intended buying.Section IV WritingPart A47.Directions:Suppose you won a translation contest and your friend,Jack,wrote an email to congratulate you and ask for advice on translation.Write him a reply to1)thank him,and2)give you adviceYou should write about100on the ANSWER SHEET.Do not sign your own name at the end of the e Li Ming instead.Do not write the address.(10points)Part B48.Directions:Write an essay based on the chart below.In your writing,you should1)interpret the chart,and2)give your comments.You should write about150words on the ANSWER SHEET.(15points)2016年全国硕士研究生招生考试英语(二)答案详解Section I Use of English1、[答案]C how[解析]根据空格所在句子可以看出，空格处应该是一个引导宾语从句的从属连词，做influence的宾语。

【2013年考研英语阅读真题】Text 1In an essay entitled “Making It in America,”the author Adam Davidson relates a joke from cotton country about just how much a modern textile mill has been automated: The average mill has only two employees today, “a man and a dog. The man is there to feed the dog, and the dog is there to keep theman away from the machines.”Davidson’s article is one of a number of pieces that have recently appeared making the point that the reason we have such stubbornly high unemployment and declining middle-class incomes today is largely because of the big drop in demand because of the Great Recession, but it is also because of the advances in both globalization and the information technology revolution, which are more rapidly than ever replacing labor with machines or foreign workers.In the past, workers with average skills, doing an average job, could earn an average lifestyle. But, today, average is officially over. Being average just won’t earn you what it used to. It can’t when so many more employers have so much more access to so much more above average cheap foreign labor, cheap robotics, cheap software, cheap automation and cheap genius. Therefore, everyone needs to find their extra-their unique value contribution that makes them stand out in whatever is their field of employment.Yes, new technology has been eating jobs forever, and always will. But there’s been an acceleration. As Davidson notes, “In the 10 years ending in 2009, U.S. factories shed workers so fast that they erased almost all the gains of the previous 70 years; roughly one out of every three manufacturing jobs-about6 million in total-disappeared.”There will always be change-new jobs, new products, new services. But the one thing we know for sure is that with each advance in globalization and the I.T. revolution, the best jobs will require workers to have more and better education to make themselves above average.In a world where average is officially over, there are many things we need to do to buttress employment, but nothing would be more important than passing some kind of G.I. Bill for the 21st century that ensures that every American has access to post-high school education.25. Which of the following would be the most appropriate title for the text?A. Technology Goes Cheap.B. New Law Takes Effect.C. Recession Is Bad.D. Average Is Over.从文中，我们不难找出，选项A中的关键词Technology出现一次（黑体字）；选项B中的关键词New Law和Effect没有出现；选项C中的关键词Recession 出现一次（斜体字）；而选项D中的关键词Average Is Over出现两次（黑体加下划线），并且还是原句出现。

(40 points)Text 1It's true that hi g h-school codin g classes aren't essential for learnin g computer science in colle g e. Students without experience can catch up after a few introductory courses, said Tom Cortina, the assistant dean at Carne g ie Mellon's School of Computer Science.However, Cortina said, earl y exposure is beneficial. When y oun g er kids learn computer science, the y learn that it's not just a confusin g, endless strin g of letters and numbers—but a tool to build apps, or create artwork, or test hypotheses. It's not as hard for them to transform their thou g ht processes as it is for older students. Breakin g down problems into bite-sized chunks and usin g code to solve them becomes normal. Givin g more children this trainin g could increase the number of people interested in the field and help fill the jobs g ap, Cortina said.Students also benefit from learnin g somethin g about codin g before the y g et to colle g e, where introductory computer-science classes are packed to the brim, which can drive the less-experienced or -determined students away.The Flatiron School, where people pa y to learn pro g rammin g, started as one of the man y codin g bootcamps that's become popular for adults lookin g for a career chan g e. The hi g h-schoolers g et the same curriculum, but "we try to g ear lessons toward thin g s the y're interested in," said Victoria Friedman, an instructor. For instance, one of the apps the students are developin g su gg ests movies based on y our mood.The students in the Flatiron class probabl y won't drop out of hi g h school and build the next Facebook. Programmin g langua g es have a quick turnover, so the "Rub y on Rails" langua g e the y learned ma y not even be relevant b y the time the y enter the job market. But the skills the y learn how to think lo g icall y through a problem and or g anize the results appl y to an y codin g langua g e, said D eborah Seehom, an education consultant for the state of N orth Carolina.Indeed, the Flatiron students mi g ht not g o into IT at all. But creatin g a future arm y of coders is not the sole purpose of the classes. These kids are g oin g to be surrounded b y computers in their pockets, in their offices, in their homes for the rest of their lives. The y oun g er the y learn how computers think, how to凶埜the machine into producin g what the y want the earlier the y learn that the y have the power to do that the better.21.Cortina holds that early exposure to computer science makes 1t easier to.[A]co mp lete future job training[B]remodel the way of thinking[C]formulate logical hypotheses[D]perfect artwork production22.In delivering lessons for high-schoolers, Flatiron has considered their.[A]expenence[B]interest[C]career prospects[D]academic backgrounds23.Deborah Seehom believes that the skills learned at Flatiron will[A]help students learn other computer languages[B]have to be upgraded when new technologies come[C]need i mp roving when students look for jobs[D]enable students to make big quick money24. According to the last paragraph, Flatiron students are expected to.[A]bring forth innovative computer technologies[B]stay longer in the information technology industry[C]become better prepared for the digitalized world[D]co mp ete with a future army of programmers25.The word "coax" (Line 4, Para. 6) is closest in meaning to.[A]pers u ade[B]fri g ht en[C]m isguide[D]challengeText2Biologists estimate that as man y as 2 million lesser prairie chickens—a kind of bird living on stretching grasslands—once lent red to the often gre y landscape of the midwestem and southwestern United States. But just some 22,000 birds remain toda y, occup y ing about 16% of the species'historic range.The crash was a major reason the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) decided to formall y list the bird as threatened. "The lesser prairie chicken is in a desperate situation," said USFWS D irector D aniel Ashe. Some environmentalists, however, were disappointed. The y had pushed the agenc y to designate the bird as "endangered," a status that gives federal officials greater regulatory power to crack down on threats. But Ashe and others argued that the "threatened" tag gave the federal government flexibility to try out new, potentiall y less confrontational conservation approaches. In particular, the y called for forging closer collaborations with western state governments, which are often uneas y with federal action, and with the private landowners who control an estimated 95% of the prairie chicken's habitat.Under the plan, for example, the agenc y said it would not prosecute landowners or businesses that unintentionall y kill, harm, or disturb the bird, as long as the y had signed a range-wide management plan to restore prairie chicken habitat. Negotiated b y USFWS and the states, the plan requires individuals and businesses that damage habitat as part of their operations to pa y into a fund to replace every acre destro y ed with 2 new acres of suitable habitat. The fund will also be used to compensate landowners who set aside habitat. USFWS also set an interim goal of restoring prairie chicken populations to an annual average of 67,000 birds over the next 10 y ears. And it gives the Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies (W A FW A), a coalition of state agencies, the job of monitoring progress. Overall, the idea is to let "states remain in the driver's seat for managing the species," Ashe said.Not everyone bu y s the win-win rhetoric. Some Congress members are trying to block the plan, and at least a dozen industry groups, four states, and three environmental groups are challenging it in federal court. Not surprisingl y, industry groups and states generall y argue it goes too far; enviromnentalists sa y it doesn't go far enough. "The federal government is giving responsibilit y for managing the bird to the same industries that are pushing it to extinction," sa y s biologist Ja y Lininger.26.The major reason for listing the lesser p rairie chicken as threatened is.[A]its drastically decreased population[B]the underestimate of the grassland acreage[C]a desperate appeal from some biologists[D]the insistence of private landowners27.The "threatened" tag disappointed some environmentalists in that it.[A]was a give-in to governmental pressure[B]would involve fewer agencies in action[C]granted less federal regulatory power[D]went against conservation policies28.It can be learned from Paragraph 3 that unintentional harm-doers will not beprosecuted if they[A]agree to pay a sum for compensation[B]volunteer to set up an equally big habitat[C]offer to support the W AFW A monitoringjob[D]promise to raise funds for USFWS operations29. According to Ashe, the leading role in managing the species is.[A]the federal government[B]the wildlife agencies[C]the landowners[D]the states30.Jay Lininger would most likely support.[A]industry groups[B]the win-win rhetoric[C]environmental groups[D]the plan under challengeText3That everyone's too bus y these da y s is a cliche. But one specific complaint is made especiall y mournfull y: There's never an y time to read.What makes the problem thornier is that the usual time-mana g ement techni q ues don't seem sufficient. The web's full of articles offerin g tips on makin g time to read: "Give up TV" or "Carry a book with y ou at all times." But in m y experience, usin g such methods to free up the odd 30 minutes doesn't work. Sit down to read and the fl yw heel of work-related thou g hts keeps spinnin g or else ou're so exhausted that a challen g in g book's the last thin g y ou need. The modem ymind, Tim Parks, a novelist and critic, writes, "is overwhelmin g l y inclined toward con皿unication…It is not simpl y that one is interrupted; it is that one is actuall y inclined to interruption." D eep readin g re q uires not just time, but a special kind of time which can't be obtained merel y b y becomin g more efficient.In fact, "becomin g more efficient" is part of the problem. Thinkin g of time as a resource to be maximised means y ou approach it instnunentall y, jud g in g an yiven moment as well spent onl y in so far as it advances pro g ress toward some g oal. gImmersive readin g, b y contrast, depends on bein g willin g to risk inefficienc y,oallessness, even time-wastin g. Try to slot it in as a to-do list item and y ou'll gmana g e onl y g oal-focused readin g useful, sometimes, but not the most fulfillin g kind. "The future comes at us like empt y bottles alon g an unstoppable and nearl y infinite conve y or belt," writes Gary Eberle in his book Sacred Time, and''we feel a pressure to fill these different-sized bottles (da y s, hours, minutes) as the y pass, for if the y g et b y without bein g filled, we will have wasted them." No mind-set could be worse for losin g y ourself in a book.So what does work? Perhaps surprisin g l y, schedulin g re g ular times for readin g. You'd think this mi g ht fuel the efficienc y mind-set, but in fact, Eberle notes, such ritualistic behaviour helps us "step outside time's flow" into "soul time." You could limit distractions b y readin g onl y ph y sical books, or on sin g le-purpose e-readers. "Carry a book with y ou at all times" can actuall y work, too providin g y ou dip in often enou g h, so that readin g becomes the default state from which y ou temporaril y surface to take care of business, before droppin g back down. On a reall y g ood da y, it no lon g er feels as if y ou're "makin g time to read," but just readin g, and makin g time for everythin g else.31.The usual time-management techniques don't work because.[A]what they can offer does not ease the modem 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 ExtensivelyText4Against a backdro p of drastic changes in econom y and p o p ulation structure, y ounger Americans are drawing a new 21st-century road ma p to success, a latest p oll has found.Across generational lines, Americans continue to p rize many of the same traditional milestones of a successful life, including getting married, having children, owning a home, and retiring in their sixties. But while y oung and old mostl y agree on what constitutes the finish line of a fulfilling life, the y off er strikingl y different p aths for reaching it.Young p eo p le who are still getting started in life were more likel y than older adults to p rioritize p ersonal fulfillment in their work, to believe the y will advance their careers most b y regularl y changing jobs, to favor communities with more p ublic services and a faster p ace of life, to agree that cou p les should be financiall y secure before getting married or having children, and to maintain that children are best served b y two p arents working outside the home, the surve y found.From career to community and famil y , these contrasts suggest that in the aftermath of the searing Great Recession, those just starting out in life are definingp riorities and ex p ectations that will increasingl y s p read through virtuall y all as p ects of American life, from consumer p references to housing p atterns to p olitics.Young and old converge on one ke y p oint: Overwhelming majorities of both grou p s said the y believe it is harder for y oung p eo p le today to get started in life than it was for earlier generations. While y ounger p eo p le are somewhat more o p timistic than their elders about the p ros p ects for those starting out toda y , big majorities in both grou p s believe those "just getting started in life" face a tougher climb than earlier generations in reaching such si gnp ost achievements as securing a good-p a y ing job, starting a famil y , managing debt, and finding affordable housing.Pete Schneider considers the climb tougher toda y . Schneider, a 27-y ear-old auto technician from the Chicago suburbs, sa y s he struggled to find a job after graduating from college. Even now that he is working steadil y , he said, "I can't afford to p a y m y monthl y mortgage p ayments on m y own, so I have to rent rooms out to p eo p le to make that ha pp en." Looking back, he is struck that his p arents could p rovide a comfortable life for their children even though neither had completed college when he was y oung. "I still grew u p in an u pp er middle-class home with p arents who didn't have college degrees," Schneider said. "I don't think p eo p le are ca p able of that anymore."36.One cross-generation mark of a successful life is.[A]trying out different lifestyles[B]having a family with children[C]working beyond retirement age[D]setting up a profitable business37.It can be learned from Paragraph 3 that young people tend to.[A]favor a slower life pace[B]hold an occupation longer[C]attach importance to pre-marital finance[D]give priority to childcare outside the home38.The priorities and expectations defined by the young will.[A]become increasingly clear[B]focus on materialistic issues[C]depend largely on political preferences[D]reach almost all aspects of A merican life39.Both young and old agree that.[A]good-p aying j obs are less availab le[B]the old made more life achievements[C]housing loans today are easy to obtain[D]getting established is harder for the young40.Which of the following is true about Schneider?[A]He found a dream job after graduating from college.[B]His parents believe working steadily is a must for success.[C]His parents'good life has little to do with a college degree.[D]He thinks his job as a technician quite challenging.PartBDirections:Read the following text and answer the questions b y choosing the most suitable subheading from the list A-G for each of the numbered paragraphs (41-45). There are two extra subheadings which y ou do not need to use. Mark y our answers on the ANSWER SHEET. (10 points)[A]Be sill y[B]Have fun[C]Ask for help[D]Express y our emotions[E]D on't overthink it[F]Be easil y pleased[G]Notice thingsAct Your Shoe Size, Not Your AgeAs adults, it seems that we are constantl y pursuing happiness, often with mixed results. Yet children appear to have it down to an art and for the most part the y don't need self-help books or therap y. Instead, the y look after their wellbeing instinctivel y, and usuall y more effectivel y than we do as grownups. Perhaps it's time to learn a few lessons from them.41.What does a child do when he's sad? He cries. When he's angry? He shouts. Scared? Probabl y a bit of both. As we grow up, we learn to control our emotions so the y are manageable and don't dictate our behaviours, which is in many wa y s a good thing. But too often we take this process too far and end up suppressing emotions, especiall y negative ones. That's about as effective as brushing dirt under a carpet and can even make us ill. What we need to do is find a wa y to acknowledge and express what we feel appropriatel y, and then again, like children move on.42.A couple of Christmases ago, m y y oungest stepdaughter, who was nine y ears old at the time, got a Superman T-shirt for Christmas. It cost less than a fiver but she was overjo y ed, and couldn't stop talking about it. Too often we believe that a new job, bigger house or better car will be the magic silver bullet that will allow us to finall y be content, but the reality is these things have very little lasting impact on our happiness levels. Instead, being grateful for small things every da yis a much better wa y to improve wellbein g.43.Have y ou ever noticed how much children lau g h? If we adults could indul g e in a bit of silliness and g i gg lin g, we would reduce the stress hormones in our bodies, increase g ood hormones like endorphins, improve blood flow to our hearts and even have a greater chance of fi g htin g off infection. All of which would, of course, havea positive effect on our happiness levels.44.The problem with bein g a grownup is that there's an awful lot of serious stuff to deal with work, mort g a g e payments, fi g urin g out what to cook for dinner. But as adults we also have the luxury of bein g able to control our own diaries and it's important that we schedule in time to enjo y the thin g s we love. Those thin g s mi g ht be social, sportin g, creative or completel y random (dancin g around the livin g room, an y one?) it doesn't matter, so lon g as the y're enjo y able, and not likel y to have ne g ative side effects, such as drinkin g too much alcohol or g oin g ona wild spendin g spree if y ou're on a ti g ht bud g et.45.Havin g said all of the above, it's important to add that we shouldn't try too hard to be happ y. Scientists tell us this can backfire and actuall y have a ne g ative i mp act on our wellbein g. As the Chinese philosopher Chuan g Tzu is reported to have said: "Happiness is the absence of strivin g for happiness." And in that, once more, we need to look to the example of our children, to whom happiness is not a oal but a natural byproduct of the wa y the y live.gSection III Translation46.DirectionsTranslate the following text into Chinese.

The reason for this is simple: The longer y ou sta y in the store, the more stuff y ou'll see, and the more stuff y ou see, the more y ou'll bu y. And supermarkets contain a lot of stuff. The average supermarket, according to the Food Marketing Institute, carries some 44,000 different items, and man y carry tens of thousands more. The sheer volume of available choice is enough to send shoppers into a state of information overload. According to brain-scan experiments, the demands of so much decision-making quickl y become too much for us.

考研联盟售后君总结了翻译的几点技巧，帮考生更好复习英语。

一、逆序法逆序法即倒置法。

太奇MBA英语教研组的老师指出，有些英语长句的表达次序与汉语习惯不同，甚至语序完全相反，这就必须从原文的后面译起，逆着原文的顺序翻译。

例如：“There was little hope of continuing my inquiries after dark to any useful purpose in a neighborhood that was strange to me.”该句可分为三部分①“There was little hope”;②“continuing my inquiries after dark to any useful purpose”;③“in a neighborhood that was strange to me.”前两层表结果，第三层表原因。

这句英语长句的叙述层次与汉语逻辑相反，因此要打破原句的结构，按照汉语造句的规律重新加以安排。

译为：这一带我不熟悉，天黑以后继续进行调查，取得结果的希望不大。

二、顺序法有些英语长句按逻辑关系安排，与汉语的表达方式比较一致，或者叙述的一连串动作按发生的时间先后安排，这类句子可按原文顺序译出，相比较要容易一些，大家可以按照正常的思维翻译即可。

三、分译法有些英语长句的主句与从句或主句与修饰语间的关系并不十分密切，为使意思连贯，太奇MBA的老师建议考生们可把长句中的从句或短语化为句子分开来叙述，有时还可适当增加词语。

2016考研英语二新题型解析

2016考研英语二新题型解析根据2016年全国硕士研究生入学统一考试英语大纲(非英语专业)规定，阅读理解部分B节5小题，本部分设有5小题每题2分，共10分。

有2种备选题型，每次考试从这2种备选题型中即小标题对应和多项对应中选择其中的一种形式，或者两种形式的组合进行考查。

今年所考的就是小标题对应：这类题都需要考生从整体上把握文章的逻辑结构、理解句子与句子、段落与段落之间的关系。

要求考生有一定的连贯性和一致性的语篇意识。

今年的小标题具体解题步骤如下：第一步：通读选项，划出选项关键词：如[A] You are not alone 划出not alone[B] Don’t fear responsibility for your life 划出responsibility[C] Pave your own unique 划出path own unique path[D] Most of your fears are unreal 划出unreal[E] Think about the present moment 划出the present moment[F] Experience helps you grow划出experience[G] There are many things to be grateful for划出grateful第二步，读句子找重复的词和概念，若无重复则看哪个选项最具有概括性。

那接下来我们开始解题：41【D】解析：本段开头第一句话说fear is both useful and harmful.也就是有利有害，接下来就讲其曾经的作用和人们的行为，接下来又开始引用别人的观点。

但是作者在最后一句用强调句 I do agree表示作者对前面引用的肯定，也就是fear is a choice 即对danger is very real 的否定，综合即答案 D。

42.【E】解析: 本段最后一句有个but.答案在此处。

Choose the best word(s) for each numbered blank and mark A, B, C or D on the ANSWER SHEET. (10 points)Happy people work differently. They're more productive, more creative, and willing to take greater risks. And new research suggests that happiness might influence 1 firms work, too.Companies located in place with happier people invest more, according to a recent research paper. 2 , firms in happy places spend more on R&D(research and development).That's because happiness is linked to the kind of longer-term thinking 3 for making investment for the future.The researchers wanted to know if the 4 and inclination for risk-taking that come with happiness would 5 the way companies invested. So they compared U.S. cities' average happiness 6 by Gallup polling with the investment activity of publicly traded firms in those areas.7 enough, firms' investment and R&D intensity were correlated with the happiness of the area in which they were 8. But it is really happiness that's linked to investment, or could something else about happier cities 9 why firms there spend more on R&D? To find out, the researches controlled for various 10 that might make firms more likely to invest like size, industry , and sales-and-and for indicators that a place was 11 to live in, likegrowth in wages or population. They link between happiness and investment generally 12 even after accounting for these things.The correlation between happiness and investment was particularly strong for younger firms, which the authors 13 to "less confined decision making process" and the possible presence of younger and less 14 managers who are more likely to be influenced by sentiment.'' The relationship was 15 stronger in places where happiness was spread more 16. Firms seem to invest more in places.17 this doesn't prove that happiness causes firms to invest more or to take a longer-term view, the authors believe it at least 18 at that possibility. It's not hard to imagine that local culture and sentiment would help 19 how executives think about the future.

Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. (40 points)Text 1It's true that high-school coding classes aren't essential for learning computer science in college. Students without experience can catch up after a few introductory courses, said Tom Cortina, the assistant dean at Carnegie Mellon's School of Computer Science.However, Cortina said, early exposure is beneficial. When younger kids learn computer science, they learn that it's not just a confusing, endless string of letters and numbers - but a tool to build apps, or create artwork, or test hypotheses. It's not as hard for them to transform their thought processes as it is for older students. Breaking down problems into bite-sized chunks and using code to solve them becomes normal. Giving more children this training could increase the number of people interested in the field and help fill the jobs gap, Cortina said.Students also benefit from learning something about coding before they get to college, where introductory computer-science classes are packed to the brim, which can drive the less-experienced or-determined students away.The Flatiron School, where people pay to learn programming, started as one of the many coding bootcamps that's become popular for adults looking for a career change. The high-schoolers get the same curriculum, but "we try to gear lessons toward things they're interested in," said Victoria Friedman, an instructor. For instance, one of the apps the students are developing suggests movies based on your mood.The students in the Flatiron class probably won't drop out of high school and build the next Facebook. Programming languages have a quick turnover, so the "Ruby on Rails"language they learned may not even be relevant by the time they enter the job market. But the skills they learn - how to think logically through a problem and organize the results - apply to any coding language, said Deborah Seehorn, an education consultant for the state of North Carolina.Indeed, the Flatiron students might not go into IT at all. But creating a future army of coders is not the sole purpose of the classes. These kids are going to be surrounded by computers-in their pockets ,in their offices, in their homes -for the rest of their lives, The younger they learn how computers think, how to coax the machine into producing what they want -the earlier they learn that they have the power to do that -the better.21.Cortina holds that early exposure to computer science makes it easier to _______[A] complete future job training[B] remodel the way of thinking[C] formulate logical hypotheses[D] perfect artwork production22.In delivering lessons for high - schoolers , Flatiron has considered their________[A] experience[B] interest[C] career prospects[D] academic backgrounds23.Deborah Seehorn believes that the skills learned at Flatiron will ________[A] help students learn other computer languages[B] have to be upgraded when new technologies come[C] need improving when students look for jobs[D] enable students to make big quick money24.According to the last paragraph, Flatiron students are expected to ______[A] bring forth innovative computer technologies[B] stay longer in the information technology industry[C] become better prepared for the digitalized world[D] compete with a future army of programmers25.The word "coax"(Line4,Para.6) is closest in meaning to ________[A] persuade[B] frighten[C] misguide[D] challengeText 2Biologists estimate that as many as 2 million lesser prairie chickens---a kind of bird living on stretching grasslands-once lent red to the often grey landscape of themidwestern and southwestern United States. But just some 22,000 birds remain today, occupying about 16% of the species 'historic range.The crash was a major reason the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS)decided to formally list the bird as threatened ."The lesser prairie chicken is in a desperate situation ," said USFWS Director Daniel Ashe. Some environmentalists, however, were disappointed. They had pushed the agency to designate the bird as "endangered," a status that gives federal officials greater regulatory power to crack down on threats .But Ashe and others argued that the" threatened" tag gave the federal government flexibility to try out new, potentially less confrontational conservations approaches. In particular, they called for forging closer collaborations with western state governments, which are often uneasy with federal action. and with the private landowners who control an estimated 95% of the prairie chicken's habitat.Under the plan, for example, the agency said it would not prosecute landowner or businesses that unintentionally kill, harm, or disturb the bird, as long as they had signed a range-wide management plan to restore prairie chicken habitat. Negotiated by USFWS and the states, the plan requires individuals and businesses that damage habitat as part of their operations to pay into a fund to replace every acre destroyed with 2 new acres of suitable habitat .The fund will also be used to compensate landowners who set aside habitat , USFWS also set an interim goal of restoring prairie chicken populations to an annual average of 67,000 birds over the next 10 years .And it gives the Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies (WAFWA), a coalition of state agencies, the job of monitoring progress. Overall, the idea is to let "states" remain in the driver 's seat for managing the species," Ashe said.Not everyone buys the win-win rhetoric. Some Congress members are trying to block the plan, and at least a dozen industry groups, four states, and three environmental groups are challenging it in federal court. Not surprisingly, doesn't go far enough. "The federal government is giving responsibility for managing the bird to the same industries that are pushing it to extinction, " says biologist Jay Lininger.26.The major reason for listing the lesser prairie as threatened is____.[A]its drastically decreased population[B]the underestimate of the grassland acreage[C]a desperate appeal from some biologists[D]the insistence of private landowners27.The "threatened" tag disappointed some environmentalists in that it_____.[A]was a give-in to governmental pressure[B]would involve fewer agencies in action[C]granted less federal regulatory power[D]went against conservation policies28.It can be learned from Paragraph3 that unintentional harm-doers will not be prosecuted if they_____.[A]agree to pay a sum for compensation[B]volunteer to set up an equally big habitat[C]offer to support the WAFWA monitoring job[D]promise to raise funds for USFWS operations29.According to Ashe, the leading role in managing the species in______.[A]the federal government[B]the wildlife agencies[C]the landowners[D]the states30.Jay Lininger would most likely support_______.[A]industry groups[B]the win-win rhetoric[C]environmental groups[D]the plan under challengeText 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 that one 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 ExtensivelyText 4Against a backdrop of drastic changes in economy and population structure, younger Americans are drawing a new 21st-century road map to success, a latest poll has found.Across generational lines, Americans continue to prize many of the same traditional milestones of a successful life, including getting married, having children, owning a home, and retiring in their sixties. But while young and old mostly agree on what constitutes the finish line of a fulfilling life, they offer strikingly different paths for reaching it.Young people who are still getting started in life were more likely than older adults to prioritize personal fulfillment in their work, to believe they will advance their careers most by regularly changing jobs, to favor communities with more public services and a faster pace of life, to agree that couples should be financially secure before getting married or having children, and to maintain that children are best served by two parents working outside the home, the survey found.From career to community and family, these contrasts suggest that in the aftermath of the searing Great Recession, those just starting out in life are defining priorities and expectations that will increasingly spread through virtually all aspects of American life, from consumer preferences to housing patterns to politics.Young and old converge on one key point: Overwhelming majorities of both groups said they believe it is harder for young people today to get started in life than it was for earlier generations. Whlie younger people are somewhat more optimistic than their elders about the prospects for those starting out today, big majorities in both groups believe those "just getting started in life" face a tougher a good-paying job, starting a family, managing debt, and finding affordable housing.Pete Schneider considers the climb tougher today. Schneider, a 27-yaear-old auto technician from the Chicago suburbs says he struggled to find a job after graduating from college. Even now that he is working steadily, he said." I can't afford to pay ma monthly mortgage payments on my own, so I have to rent rooms out to people to mark that happen." Looking back, he is struck that his parents could provide a comfortable life for their children even though neither had completed college when he was young."I still grew up in an upper middle-class home with parents who didn't have college degrees,"Schneider said."I don't think people are capable of that anymore. "36. One cross-generation mark of a successful life is .[A] trying out different lifestyles[B] having a family with children[C] working beyond retirement age[D] setting up a profitable business37. It can be learned from Paragraph 3 that young people tend to .[A] favor a slower life pace[B] hold an occupation longer[C] attach importance to pre-marital finance[D] give priority to childcare outside the home38. The priorities and expectations defined by the young will .[A] become increasingly clear[B] focus on materialistic issues[C] depend largely on political preferences[D] reach almost all aspects of American life39. Both young and old agree that .[A] good-paying jobs are less available[B] the old made more life achievements[C] housing loans today are easy to obtain[D] getting established is harder for the young40. Which of the following is true about Schneider?[A] He found a dream job after graduating from college[B] His parents believe working steadily is a must for success[C] His parents' good life has little to do with a college degree[D] He thinks his job as a technician quite challengingPart BDirections:Read the following text and answer the questions by choosing the most suitable subheading from the list A-G for each numbered paragraphs (41-45). There are two extra subheadings which you do not need to use. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET.(10 points)[A] Be silly[B] Have fun[C] Ask for help[D] Express your emotions.[E] Don't overthink it[F] Be easily pleased[G] Notice thingsAct Your Shoe Size, Not Your Age.(1) As adults, it seems that we're constantly pursuing happiness, often with mixed results. Yet children appear to have it down to an art-and for the most part they don't need self-help books or therapy. Instead, they look after their wellbeing instinctively and usually more effectively than we do as grownups. Perhaps it's time to learn a few lessons from them.41_____ [D] Express your emotions(2) What does a child do when he's sad? He cries. When he's angry? He shouts. Scared? Probably a bit of both. As we grow up, we learn to control our emotions so they are manageable and don't dictate our behaviours, which is in many ways a good thing. But too often we take this process too far and end up suppressing emotions, especially negative ones. That's about as effective as brushing dirt under a carpet and can even make us ill. What we feel appropriately and then-again, like children-move on.42______[F] Be easily pleasedA couple of Christmases ago, my youngest stepdaughter, who was 9 years old at the time, got a Superman T-shirt for Christmas. It cost less than a fiver but she was overjoyed, and couldn't bigger house or better car will be the magic silver bullet that will allow us to finally be content, but the reality is these things have little lasting impact on our happiness levels. Instead, being grateful for small things every day is a much better way to improve wellbeing.43_______[A] Be sillyHave you ever noticed how much children laugh? If we adults could indulge in a bit of silliness and giggling, we would reduce the stress hormones in our bodies, increase good hormones like endorphins, improve blood flow to our hearts and ever have a greater chance of fighting off infection. All of which would, of course, have a positive effect on our happiness levels.44______ [B] Have funThe problem with being a grownup is that there's an awful lot of serious stuff to deal with-work, mortgage payments, figuring out what to cook for dinner. But as adults we also have the luxury of being able to control our own diaries and it's important that we schedule in time to enjoy the thing we love. Those things might be social, sporting, creative or completely random (dancing around the living room, anyone?)-it doesn't matter, so long as they're enjoyable, and not likely to have negative side effects, such as drinking too much alcohol or going on a wild spending spree if you're on a tight budget.45______ [E] Don't overthink itHaving said all of the above, it's important to add that we shouldn't try too hard to be happy. Scientists tell us this can back fire and actually have a negative impact on our wellbeing. As the Chinese philosopher Chuang Tzu is reported to have said: "Happiness is the absence of striving for happiness." And in that, once more, we need to look to the example of our children, to whom happiness is not a goal but a natural byproduct of the way they live.Section III TranslationDirections:Translate the following text into Chinese. Write your translation on the ANSWER SHEET. (15 points)The supermarket is designed to lure customers into spending as much time as possible within its doors. The reason for this is simple: The longer you stay in the store, the more stuff you'll see, and the more stuff you see, the more you'll buy. And supermarkets contain a lot of stuff. The average supermarket, according to the Food Marketing Institute, carries some 44,000 different items, and many carry tens of thousands more. The sheer volume of available choice is enough to send shoppers into a state of information overload. According to brain-scan experiments, the demands of so much decision-making quickly become too much for us. After about 40 minutes of shopping, most people stop struggling to be rationally selective, and instead began shopping emotionally-which is the point at which we accumulate the 50 percent of stuff in our cart that we never intended buying.【参考译文】超市旨在吸引顾客在自己店内停留尽量长的时间。

2016考研英语二阅读难度与出题思路分
析
考研英语的阅读理解题，无非是从宏观和微观等两个角度进行考察，体现在题型上从广义的角度可分为两类：主旨态度题和细节事实题。

考生需要有这样的认知。

主旨态度是全文的论点，细节事实，是全文的论据。

两者相结合，才是一篇逻辑性严谨的文章。

文章中的细节，即论据，通常是作者论证文章主题或是论证段落大意而使用的具体信息。

因为，就议论文而言，作者阐明所要阐述的问题和观点之后，通常会使用大量的具体细节去支持并加以说明。

这些细节可以是原因、事例、数字等等。

论据的常用展现方法为：下定义、做比较、打比方等。

下面跨考教育英语教研室阅读主讲靳姝老师将对2015年考研英语二的阅读理解部分的题型难度和解题思路进行了细致的分析。

今年的英语二真题题目难度和往年持平，甚至比去年略有下降，四篇文章阅读难度不大，题目也没有偏离大纲要求及出题思路，让学生非常纠结的选项。

据统计，今年20道题目中，1道主旨题，1道词义句意题，3道推断题，其余16道全部为细节题，其中四道为细节观点题，2道因果细节题。

一、主旨态度题的题型和难度分析：
考研英语二阅读理解命题思路从宏观上，考察全文的主旨大意，文章标题和作者态度，也就是我们常说的主旨态度题。

第四篇文章最后一道题问文章主要讨论了什么，这道题也是四篇阅读中唯一一道主旨大意题，有相当难度。

与往年不同的是，今年这道题方法技巧性不强，无论是题干法还是串线摘帽法，都无法准确全面概况全文主旨，而这道题需要在读懂文章的基础上，有一定归纳概括能力。

文章首段指出目前的失业率呈现出下降的趋势，而接下来的第二段提出在这种失业率下降的好现象中，我们忽略了那些自愿(voluntary)参加兼职工作的人。

第三段就自愿兼职工作者和非自愿兼职工作者的区别展开描述。

最后两段表明，那些自愿参加兼职工作的人是因为有了一项名为Obamacare的政策，该政策旨在使那些没有全职工作的人也有可能获得保险，从而提升就业率。

可见，全文都是围绕美国的就业形势展开讨论。

故A选项employment in the US 美国的就业情况正确。

二、细节事实题的题型和难度分析：
从以往的历年试题分析中，不难发现，细节事实题的比例占据了一半以上，尤其对于英语二的考生来说，细节题决定了阅读理解的成败，因此重视细节题，考研阅读就有了很大希望。

2016年考研英语二的阅读理解部分的绝大部分，都属于细节是事实题。

对于细节题的解答方式，首先考察的便是考生迅速回到原文进行定位的能力。

定位准确，得出答案是非常容易快速的。

例如，然后再重点分析这个句子，充分理解分析之后，再仔细排除错误选项。

细节题的精髓就在于精确查找信息的能力，这一考法，一直沿用至今。

总而言之，对于考研英语阅读理解的解题能力的提高，一定要注意，首先，在思维能力上，从微观和宏观的角度出发，从思维的角度去战胜考试，才能够真正做到透过现象挖掘试题的本质，方可以不变应万变，破解任何一种题型，掌控任何一年的考题。

其次，内化到题型角度，便是从细节事实题和主旨态度题这广义的两大分类，对于不同的题型，采用不同的解题方法。

知其法，方可解其意。

最终，才能百战不殆。

最后，祝2016年的考研学子们，金榜题名，实现梦想。

同时，也寄语2016年的同学们，好的开始是成功的一半，望你们能穿越冬季的寒意，满怀初春的热情，利用好寒假这一黄金学习时期，有规划，有目的，有方向性地进行学习和复习，去迎接16年的挑战。

明年的今天，战场上，将会闪现你们的身影。

跨考全体同仁，愿与广大学子风雨同行，不离不弃。

为共同的理想而不懈努力!人生能有几回搏!趁我们都还年轻，亲爱的学子们,勇往直前地朝自己的梦想向前冲吧!
