2022年MBA考研|英语阅读计划-每日阅读-Day13

计划说明

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

  I had a letter from my sister yesterday. She lives in Nigeria. In her letter, she said that she would come to England next year. If she comes, she will get a surprise. We are now living in a beautiful new house in the country. Work on it had begun before my sister left. The house was completed five months ago. In my letter, I told her that she could stay with us. The house has many large rooms and there is a lovely garden. It is a very modern house, so it looks strange to some people. It must be the only modern house in the district.

短文翻译

我昨天收到我姐姐的一封信。她住在尼日利亚。她在信中说她明年要来英国。如果她来，她会有一个惊喜。我们现在住在乡下一所漂亮的新房子里。在我姐姐离开之前就已经开始动工了。这所房子是五个月前竣工的。在我的信中，我告诉她她可以和我们住在一起。这所房子有许多大房间，还有一个可爱的花园。这是一座非常现代的房子，所以有些人觉得它很奇怪。这一定是这个地区唯一的现代化住宅了。
