整理编辑:MBA培训网 时间:2022-03-01
2022年考研人数逐年增加,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。但是对大多数备考的同学来说,刚开始投入复习,就去读考试文章难度的新闻报刊,也是不现实、并且不符合循序渐进的学习规律的,所以我们会在每次推送中,给大家给出两篇短文,一篇是初阶水平(大致在初高中水平);一篇是高阶水平(四六级到考研水平);同学们可以根据自己当前的情况,选择其中一篇进行学习。
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)
初阶文段
According to CNN.com, "Smoking even one cigarette a day during pregnancy can double the chance of sudden unexpected death for your baby,according to a new study analyzing over 20 million births, including over 19,000 unexpected infant deaths."Pulmonologist Dr. Cedric "Jamie" Rutland, a national spokesman for the American Lung Association, told the press,"One of the most compelling and most important points that I would take away from the study is that even smoking one or two cigarettes still had an effect on sudden infant death..."

高阶文段
"You can imagine what this mother can do or endure."How much longer will fables of valor be held up as an excuse for using mothers to prop up a failing system?Even if women can handle it, or at least appear outwardly to be handling it, does it really have to be this hard?How many fathers would find "enduring" to be a satisfying existence?American mothers have been the under-supported cog in the wheel of American capitalism for too long.We must now completely reimagine their role and start over.
短文翻译
“你可以大胆地想象她的潜能和忍受能力。”英勇的寓言被视为利用母亲来维持一个失败的体制的借口,这样的日子还要继续到何时?就算女性能扛下来,或者至少表面上看还能扛下来,难道就一定要让她们的处境如此艰难吗?有多少父亲会觉得“忍受”是一种令人满意的生活状态?美国的妈妈们充当美国资本主义车轮下的齿轮的时间太长了。我们必须现在就彻底重塑她们的角色,然后重新来过。
