整理编辑:MBA培训网 时间:2022-10-23
考研人数逐年增加,竞争之激烈使得我们不得不加急复习的日程。众所周知,阅读理解占据了考研英语二100分试卷的一半分值,而考研英语阅读文章大多来自英美国家的主流报刊杂志,所以如果能在日常就多多阅读这些文章,对以后读懂文章做对题目来说会大有裨益。
学习步骤如下:
1.不看汉语译文自己看一遍短文做理解
2.看汉语译文比对自己理解的意思与之出入
3.强化记忆重点单词(以记忆其汉语意思为主)
We tend to think of the decades immediately following World War Ⅱ as a time of prosperity and growth, with soldiers returning home by the millions, going off to college on the G .I .Bill and lining up at the marriage bureaus.
But when it came to their house, it was a time of common sense and a belief that less could truly be more. During the Depression and the war, Americans had learned to live with less, and that restraint, in combination with the postwar confidence in the future, made small, efficient housing positively stylish.
短文翻译
我们往往认为二战后的数十载是繁荣和发展的时期,数百万士兵重返故土,根据《退伍军人权利法案》上大学,在婚姻登记处排队办理结婚手续。
但谈到住房问题时,人们当时普遍的观点是少便是多。在经济大萧条和二战期间,美国人民学会了过简单的生活,他们这种自我约束及战后对未来生活的信心使得小巧实用的房子变得非常流行。

题目解析
31.【解析】根据题干定位到文章第二段尾句“... that restraint, in combination with the postwar confidence..., made small, efficient housing positively stylish”,本句话中的谓语动词 made,表示前因后果的逻辑,即“节制”与“自信”带来了“战后住房风格”的“盛行”,反过来也可以理解为“战后美国的住房风格”反映了美国人的“节制”与“自信”,所以 C 项正确。A选项的干扰源自文章首段,但是 prosperity和growth是人们对二战后这个时间段的印象,与美国的战后住宅风格并无关系,因此A项不对;B选项的干扰源自第二段尾句“made small, efficient housing positively stylish”,这两个词是说明美国二战后的住房风格,并非是美国人的情况,因此不对;D项文中并未提及,属于无中生有。
