考研英语(二)真题解析精读|英语词汇阅读-每一日练-Day12

整理编辑：MBA培训网时间：2022-07-05

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）

文段一

You may proudly claim to only have frozen peas in the freezer—that's not good enough. Mine is filled with leftovers, bread, stock, meat and fish. Planning ahead should eliminate wastage, but if you have surplus vegetables you'll do a vegetable soup, and all fruits threatening to “go off” will be cooked or juiced.

Everyone says this, but it really is a top tip for frugal eaters. Shop at butchers, delis and fishsellers regularly, even for small things, and be super friendly. Soon you'll feel comfortable asking if they've any knuckles of ham for soups and stews, or beef bones, chicken carcasses and fish heads for stock which, more often than not, they'll let you have for free.

短文翻译

你也许会很骄傲地说自己的冰箱里只有一些冻青豆，但这还不够。我的冰箱里装满了吃剩的食物，面包、高汤、肉和鱼。提前计划好可以避免浪费，但是如果家里有多余的蔬菜，可以做成蔬菜汤，那些可能会坏掉的水果可以当成食材做饭或者榨成果汁。

每个人都这样说，但是这个对节俭的食客来说是很重要的一条建议。经常在肉店、熟食店和鱼店买东西，即使小东西也在这些地方买，并且表现地很友好。很快你会发现自己很轻松地问他们是否可以给你一些猪腿骨头做汤或者炖菜，或者是否有些牛骨、鸡架或者鱼头等让你回家熬汤，他们往往免费给你的。
