;③ 一个英语阅读题
首先,文中说I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco有些厌倦了旧金山的生活。 她刚刚在剧院排练完,疲惫不堪的走在回家的路上。她说她处理不好在银行的兼职工作和同一时间的排练。她认真的想着,想放弃旧金山和表演。城市的生活是她喘不过气来。
意思大概是这样的。
所以C一定不正确 因为不是learning
B项不明确,没说参加了很多活动。
A说解决在银行的问题——实际上不是在银行工作中出现了问题矛盾这样的事情,而是时间上有冲突,而且作者表明想放弃演出而做兼职
D说准备一次夜场
所以选D

英语阅读题做题技巧:
先读文章,再做题目,最后再读一遍文章。这时大部分同学做阅读理解题的习惯。首先阅读文章掌握全文脉络,然后根据题目和选项排查信息,选出答案。
这种方法做阅读理解正确率比较高,但是比较浪费时间,因为大部分人的记忆都没有好到读一遍文章就清楚每个细节的地步,所以读完文章以后做题的时候还要再次回头去找。
答英语阅读理解的方法:
首先,拿到一篇阅读理解,如果你没有完全的自信能把文章毫无障碍地看懂的话,就千万不要直接去看文章,如果是考试的话这就是浪费时间。首先要看的当然是题目,在题目中你可以大概了解到这篇文章所要描述的内容,然后尽量将问题都记住。
然后,就是带着问题去看文章,这样当你看到与问题相关的内容是就可以着重地把与问题相关的部分进行更深入的分析和理解,而不用把全篇阅读理解都细细地看一遍,大大减少了做题的时间,在考试时是十分有帮助的。

想要把考研英语考好,不在考场上心理崩盘,只有详细研究真题和精读外刊,否则绝大部分考生对文章的理解注定是只言片语和模糊不清的,下面是我给大家提供的考研的英语阅读理解练习真题及翻译,一起来练习一下吧!
The world is goingthrough the biggest wave of mergers and acquisitions ever witnessed. Theprocess sweeps from hyperactive America to Europe and reaches the emergingcountries with unsurpassed might. Many in these countries are looking at thisprocess and worrying: “Won't the wave of business concentration turn into an uncontrollableanti-competitive force?"
There's no question that the big are getting bigger and morepowerful. Multinational corporations accounted for less than 20% ofinternational trade in 1982. Today the figure is more than 25% and growingrapidly. International affiliates account for a fast-growing segment ofproction in economies that open up and welcome foreign investment. InArgentina, for instance, after the reforms of the early 1990s, multinationalswent from 43% to almost 70% of the instrial proction of the 200 largestfirms. This phenomenon has created serious concerns over the role of smallereconomic firms, of national businessmen and over the ultimate stability of theworld economy。
I believe that the most important forces behind the massive M&Awave are the same that underlie the globalization process: fallingtransportation and communication costs, lower trade and investment barriers andenlarged markets that require enlarged operations capable of meeting customers'demands. All these are beneficial, not detrimental, to consumers. Asproctivity grows, the world's wealth increases。
Examples of benefits or costs of the current concentration wave arescanty. Yet it is hard to imagine that the merger of a few oil firms todaycould re-create the same threats to competition that were feared nearly acentury ago in the U.S., when the Standard Oil trust was broken up. The mergersof telecom companies, such as WorldCom, hardly seem to bring higher prices forconsumers or a rection in the pace of technical progress. On the contrary,the price of communications is coming down fast. In cars, too, concentration isincreasing—witness Daimler and Chrysler, Renault and Nissan—but it doesnot appear that consumers are being hurt。
Yet the fact remains that the merger movement must be watched. Afew weeks ago, Alan Greenspan warned against the megamergers in the bankinginstry. Who is going to supervise, regulate and operate as lender of lastresort with the gigantic banks that are being created? Won't multinationalsshift proction from one place to another when a nation gets too strict aboutinfringements to fair competition? And should one country take upon itself therole of“defending competition" on issues that affect many othernations, as in the U.S. vs. Microsoft case?
33. What is the typical trend of businesses today?
[A]To take in more foreign funds
[B]To invest more abroad
[C]To combine and become bigger
[D]To trade with more countries
34. According to the author, one of the driving forces behindM&A wave is _________。
[A]the greater customer demands
[B]a surplus supply for the market
[C]a growing proctivity
[D]the increase of the world's wealth
35. From paragraph 4 we can infer that _________。
[A]the increasing concentration is certain to hurt consumers
[B]WorldCom serves as a good example of both benefits and costs
[C]the costs of the globalization process are enormous
[D]the Standard Oil trust might have threatened competition
36. Toward the new business wave, the writer's attitude can be saidto be _________。
[A]optimistic
[B]objective
[C]pessimistic
[D]biased

33. What is the typical trend of businesses today? 今天的商业典型的发展趋势是什么?
[A]To take in more foreign funds 吸收更多外资
[B]To invest more abroad 进行更多对外投资
[C]To combine and become bigger 合并做强
[D]To trade with more countries 与更多国家贸易
【答案】 C
【考点】 事实细节题。
【分析】 文章第一段中说“世界正在经历一场前所未有的最大的的并购浪潮。这个浪潮从异常活跃的美国开始,横扫欧洲,并以不可比拟的威力影响到正在崛起的国家”,因此可以判断正确答案是[C]。
34. According to the author, one of the driving forces behindM&A wave is _______。
根据本文作者,在合并浪潮背后的一个驱动力是______。
[A]the greater customer demands 更大的消费需求
[B]a surplus supply for the market 对市场的剩余供给
[C]a growing proctivity 日益增长的生产率
[D]the increase of the world’s wealth 世界财富的增长
【答案】 A
【考点】 事实细节题。
【分析】 根据“合并浪潮的推动力”可以定位到第三段。在作者看来,“日趋下降的运输与通讯费用,较低的贸易与投资壁垒,以及市场的扩大和为满足市场需求而进行的扩大生产,是推动这股巨大的并购浪潮的最主要的力量,也是推动全球化进程的力量”。将四个选项对比这三个因素,只有[A]包括了根据顾客的需要扩大市场这个因素。
35. From paragraph 4 we can infer that _____。
从第四段中我们可以推断出_____。
[A] the increasing concentration is certain to hurt consumers
日益增长的集中肯定会损害消费者的利益
[B] WorldCom serves as a good example of both benefits and costs
世通就是一个合并利与弊的好例子
[C] the costs of the globalization process are enormous
全球化进程的成本很高
[D] the Standard Oil trust might have threatened competition
标准石油托拉斯或许已经威胁到竞争
【答案】 D
【考点】 推断题。
【分析】 [A]“日益增长的集中肯定会损害消费者的利益”与原文第四段第一句不符合,因为作者说“这股合并浪潮是带来益处还是弊端的实例还很少”,因此很难说肯定会带来损害。[B]提到“世通”,说是一个带来利益和降低成本的好例子。这句说是“价格没有随着合并而提高”,并没有提到价格降低问题,因此,合并虽然没有伤害消费者,也没有给他们带来利益。[C]本段没有涉及。[D]可以从文中“很难想像当今的几个石油公司的合并能够再次造成像100年前美国标准石油托拉斯对竞争形成的威胁”,这说明当年这个石油公司肯定曾经对竞争造成巨大威胁。
36. Toward the new business wave, the writer’s attitudecan be said to be _____。
作者看待新的商业浪潮的态度可以说是_______。
[A]optimistic 乐观的
[B]objective 客观的
[C]pessimistic 悲观的
[D]biased 歧视的
【答案】 B
【考点】 作者态度题。
【分析】 本题考查考生是否了解作者的态度。文中作者提到了“合并”的益处,但是同时也在第四段中提到“我们必须警惕这样的合并浪潮”。作者是从两个方面来谈论这个问题的,因此我们可以判断作者的态度应该是客观的。
难句解析:
1. This phenomenon has created serious concerns over the role ofsmaller economic firms, of national businessmen and over the ultimate stabilityof the world economy。
【结构分析】本题的主干是“This phenomenon has created serious concerns”,两个“over”引导介宾短语,是并列的成分,做“concern”的定语。而“of smaller economic firms”与“of nationalbusinessmen”都是第一个“role”的定语。
2. I believe that the most important forces behind the massiveM&A wave are the same that underlie the globalization process: fallingtransportation and communication costs, lower trade and investment barriers andenlarged markets that require enlarged operations capable of meeting customers’ demands。
【结构分析】本句主句是“I believe ”,“that”引导一个宾语从句,在这个宾语从句中,后面的“that”前面省略了“forces”,这个“that”引导一个定语从句,修饰这个省略的“forces”。冒号后面的部分是“the most important forces”的同位语,其中“markets”后面的“that”引导定语从句修饰“markets”,“capable ofmeeting customers' demands”是“operations”的定语。
全文翻译:
世界正在经历一场前所未有的最大的的并购浪潮。这个浪潮从异常活跃的美国开始,横扫欧洲,并以不可比拟的威力影响到正在崛起的国家。这些国家的许多人面对这个浪潮,倍感忧虑:“商业集中的浪潮会不会演变成一股无法控制的反竞争的力量?”
无疑,大企业正在变得更大、更强。1982年,跨国公司占国际贸易不到20%的份额。而如今,这个数字已经超过25%,并且还在迅速上升。在那些对外开放并鼓励外资的经济体中,国际分公司在生产中也正占据一个越来越大的份额。比如,在阿根廷,经过90年代初的改革之后,跨国公司在200家大型企业的工业生产中从43%增加到几乎70%。这个现象使人们开始重视小型企业和民族资本的作用以及世界经济的最终稳定。
我认为,日趋下降的运输与通讯费用,较低的贸易与投资壁垒,以及市场的扩大和为满足市场需求而进行的扩大生产,是推动这股巨大的并购浪潮的最主要的力量,也是推动全球化进程的力量。所有这些对消费者来说都是有益而无害的。随着生产力的`提高,世界的财富也在增长。
这股合并浪潮是带来益处还是弊端的实例还很少。但是很难想像当今的几个石油公司的合并能够再次造成像100年前美国标准石油托拉斯对竞争形成的威胁,人们当时很害怕这家公司,结果导致了它最终的解散。像世通这样的通讯公司的合并似乎不会抬高消费价格,或者减缓技术进步的速度,与之相反的是通信的价格的快速下降。汽车行业的合并也同样在增加——瞧瞧戴姆勒与克莱斯勒,雷诺与尼桑的合并——但看起来消费者并未受到伤害。
但是有一个事实,那就是合并必须受到密切关注。就在几星期以前,格林斯潘对银行业的大规模合并发出了警告。正在创建的这样的巨大的银行一旦出现,谁来充当最终的借贷者,谁来发挥监督、规范和运作的作用呢?当一个国家对破坏公平竞争的行为的处理过于严厉时,跨国公司会不会把它们的生产从一地转到另一地呢?在那些将会影响许多其他国家的问题上,一个国家是否应该发挥“保护竞争”的作用,就如同美国政府对微软公司案例那样?

⑦ 一篇英语阅读题 求答案以及翻译。
Photos that you might have found down the back of your sofa are now big business!
In 2005, the American artist Richard Prince’s photograph of a photograph, Untitled (Cowboy), was sold for $ 1, 248, 000.
Prince is certainly not the only contemporary artist to have worked with so-called “found photographs”—a loose term given to everything from discarded(丢弃的) prints discovered in a junk shop to old advertisements or amateur photographs from a stranger’s family album. The German artist Joachim Schmid, who believes “basically everything is worth looking at”, has gathered discarded photographs, postcards and newspaper images since 1982. In his on-going project, Archiv, he groups photographs of family life according to themes: people with dogs; teams; new cars; dinner with the family; and so on.
Like Schmid, the editors of several self-published art magazines also champion (捍卫) found photographs. One of them, called simply Found, was born one snowy night in Chicago, when Davy Rothbard returned to his car to find under his wiper(雨刷) an angry note intended for some else: “Why’s your car HERE at HER place?” The note became the starting point for Rothbard’s addictive publication, which features found photographs sent in by readers, such a poster discovered in our drawer.
The whole found-photograph phenomenon has raised some questions. Perhaps one of the most difficult is: can these images really be considered as art? And if so, whose art? Yet found photographs proced by artists, such Richard Prince, may riding his horse hurriedly to meet someone? Or how did Prince create this photograph? It’s anyone’s guess. In addition, as we imagine the back-story to the people in the found photographs artists, like Schmid, have collated (整理), we also turn toward our own photographic albums. Why is memory so important to us? Why do we all seek to freeze in time the faces of our children, our parents, our lovers, and ourselves? Will they mean anything to anyone after we’ve gone?
那被你在你的沙发下后面找到的照片现在是大笔生意!
在2005年,美国艺术家Richard Prince的照片,无标题的(牛仔),以 $ 1, 248, 000被卖了。
Prince的确不是当代唯一的艺术家。他与所谓的“found photographs”—— 一个在不固定的期限里从旧货店发现的被丢弃的印刷品对旧广告或从一个陌生的家庭册页的非职业照片。 德国艺术家Joachim Schmid,相信“基本上一切值得看”,会集了被丢弃的照片、明信片和报纸图片自1982年以来。 在他持续的项目, Archiv,他根据题材编组家庭生活的照片: 有狗的人们; 队; 新车; 家庭的晚餐; 等等。
就像Schmid,这位自已出版几本艺术杂志编辑,也捍卫这些被找到的照片。 其中的一个,仅仅被叫作“Found”,是出生一多雪的夜在芝加哥,当Davy Rothbard回到他的汽车发现在他的雨刷之有一张的恼怒的字条: “为什么在这里,您的汽车在她的地方?”笔记成为了Rothbard’s致瘾出版物的,起点特点发现照片读者送,在我们的抽屉发现的这样海报。
The整体发现照片现象提出了有些问题。 或许一最困难是: 这些图象真的能被被认为是艺术吗? 如果可以,那是谁的艺术? 被找到的照片由艺术家,这样Richard Prince生产了,可以仓促地骑着他的马遇见某人? 或者王子怎么创造了这张照片? 这是大家的猜测。 另外,当我们想象这些找到的照片的艺术家们(比如Schmid)背后故事的时候,我们也转动往我们自己的摄影册页。 为什么是记忆很重要对我们? 我们所有寻求为什么结冰在计时我们的孩子、我们的父母,我们的恋人和我们自己? 它们是否将意味是在我们离去后的任何人的任何一切?

The bank foreclosed (on the mortgage). 该银行已取消(对该抵押品的)赎取权.
To deprive (a mortgagor) of the right to redeem mortgaged property, as when payments have not been made.
取消(抵押品的)赎回权:如当无法支付款项时,剥夺(分期付款者)收回抵押财产的权利
foreclosure就是指the legal proceedings initiated by a creditor to repossess the collateral for loan that is in default,“止赎权”,也称“丧失抵押品赎回权”,我们在新闻里有时也会看到一栋栋小楼前竖立着写着Foreclosure的牌子。对房地产来说,foreclosure指的是这样一个过程:如果房主在一定时间内无法按时付出每月的贷款额,房屋将被贷款公司没收,然后通过拍卖公司或房地产公司上市出售。当然,这样的房子的售价要比市价更低一些。
Foreclosure是foreclose的名词形式,foreclose做动词表示“取消抵押品赎回权”,如:The building society will be forced to foreclose on this mortgage because regular payments have not been made.(由于没有定期交纳付款,住宅互助协会被迫取消这项抵押的赎取权。)此外,它还可以用来表示“排除,阻止或预先处理”。如:We won’t foreclose the prospect of a better future.(我们不会拿我们的未来开玩笑。)
