『壹』 考研英语阅读怎么训练

考研英语中有一句话：得阅读者得天下。

我真的是用亲身经历验证了这句话。我考的是传播学专业，英语单科线是按文史类线走，差不多每年都是56、58的样子，但是我第一年英语只考了46分，对完答案阅读错了一半，完型得了,3分，新题型对了3个，相当惨烈。

完型填空题量大，分值小，较难，每年平均分也才3.5左右，大致浏览选一选差不多就是这个分数，所以不论是复习还是正式考试都不建议花太多时间和精力。

新题型英语一是选句子补充文章，英语二是选小标题，都比较简单，也不需要花太多时间准备。

短文阅读是复习的重中之重，不仅因为分值大，更因为这一部分复习好，新题型和主观题中的翻译都能得到提高。因此短文阅读相当重要。

『贰』 我每回做考研英语模拟题，阅读部分都错的特别多，请问如何才能提高阅读做题的正确率呢

说到阅读理解，那就只能靠平时的练习了，在这个过程中，你要时时总结，纵深对比，千万不要陷入题海战术只做题，不总结的误区当中。在做题的过程中，你把各种体型都总结了一遍，且对于各种题型的答案标志和陷阱标志都有较深的了解，这样一来，你不但积累了丰富的经验，而且你还提升了自己的阅读速度，一举两得，所以做题是很重要的。这个时候也可以借助一下北京新东方的考研英语强化班的学习。对于阅读，我个人感觉是，纯粹是个人经验积累多少的问题，只有保证一定的练习量，你才能用质的提高。
做阅读题有两种常规的方式：问题---短文----问题，或者短文---问题----短文。
对于广告类，通知类的文章，尤其是那种有小标题的文章，更适宜采用“问题---短文----问题”的做题模式，因为这类文章一般都是考察细节题，看完选项之后，可以直接回到原文去找，这样可以节省很多时间，而且命中率也高，一举两得，何乐不为呢？
对于社科类，人文类，社会哲学类的文章，则适合采用“短文---问题----短文”的做题方式，这样做的好处是：第一，先快速通读一遍文章之后，能较全面地把握文章的主旨以及行文思路；第二，如果先看问题（或者问题及选项一并看），尽管可以知道文章的某些细节，但可能会因为这些细枝末节，对把握全文主题造成以偏概全的错误，而且随着阅读文章的深入，也许整个思路都会乱掉，这样一乱的话，就只能再回到原文进行阅读，一而再，再而三地阅读会使得思路紊乱最大化，费时费力，事倍功半。

考研英语阅读理解和翻译

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

>>>>>>答案解析<<<<<<

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?

Up until a few decades ago, our visions of the future were largely——though by no means uniformly——glowingly positive. Science and technology would cure all the ills of humanity, leading to lives of fulfillment and opportunity for all.

Now utopia has grown unfashionable, as we have gained a deeper appreciation of the range of threats facing us, from asteroid strike to epidemic flu and to climate change. You might even be tempted to assume that humanity has little future to look forward to.

But such gloominess is misplaced. The fossil record shows that many species have enred for millions of years —— so why shouldn't we? Take a broader look at our species' place in the universe, and it becomes clear that we have an excellent chance of surviving for tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of years. Look up Homo sapiens in the "Red List" of threatened species of the International Union for the Conversation of Nature (IUCN) ,and you will read: "Listed as Least Concern as the species is very widely distributed, adaptable, currently increasing, and there are no major threats resulting in an overall population decline."

So what does our deep future hold? A growing number of researchers and organizations are now thinking seriously about that question. For example, the Long Now Foundation has its flagship project a medical clock that is designed to still be marking time thousands of years hence.

Perhaps willfully, it may be easier to think about such lengthy timescales than about the more immediate future. The potential evolution of today's technology, and its social consequences, is dazzlingly complicated, and it's perhaps best left to science fiction writers and futurologists to explore the many possibilities we can envisage. That's one reason why we have launched Arc, a new publication dedicated to the near future.

But take a longer view and there is a surprising amount that we can say with considerable assurance. As so often, the past holds the key to the future: we have now identified enough of the long-term patterns shaping the history of the planet, and our species, to make evidence-based forecasts about the situations in which our descendants will find themselves.

This long perspective makes the pessimistic view of our prospects seem more likely to be a passing fad. To be sure, the future is not all rosy. But we are now knowledgeable enough to rece many of the risks that threatened the existence of earlier humans, and to improve the lot of those to come.
考研英语阅读翻译
几十年前，我们对于未来的看法尽管并不一致，但总的来说颇为乐观。我们相信科学和技术将会治愈人类的一切疾病，使所有人都过上充满机会和成就感的生活。

如今，随着我们对自己所面临的一系列威胁有了更深刻的认识，比如从小行星撞击，到流感，再到气候变化，乌托邦式已经不合时宜。你甚至可能会禁不住要想：人类几乎前途渺茫。

然而，这种担忧不合时宜。化石记录表明，许多物种已经存活了数百万年之久，那么人类为何就不可以呢?从一个更宏观的视角来看一看人类在宇宙中的地位，就会清楚明白，即使人类生存不了几十万年，至少再存活几万年的机会还是很大。在国际自然保护联盟的濒危物种 "红色名录"上查阅"智人"这一条目，你会读到："由于该物种分布非常广泛，适应性强，目前数量持续上升，且不存在导致其整体数量下降的重大威胁，故被列为最无危物种"。

那么，我们的遥远未来会是什么景象呢?越来越多的研究者和组织机构正在认真思考这个问题。比如，今日不朽基金会的旗舰项目是一台机械时钟，该时钟的设计目标是能够在几千几万年后保持计时功能。

这样做或许有些一意孤行，但推想久远的未来要比思考即将发生的未来更为容易。当今技术的可能发展及它的社会影响结果非常复杂，或许最好的办法是让科幻小说家和未来学家去探索我们能想象到的种种可能。这正是我们发行《弧》的原因之一，该新刊物旨在探索不远的未来。

但是，如果采用一个更为长远的视角，我们便能对惊人数量的事情做出很有把握的预测。通常，过去掌握着通向未来的钥匙：目前，我们已经充分了解有关地球历史和人类历史的长期发展模式，这使我们能对子孙后代的生存环境做出有根据的预测。

这种长远的视角使我们对未来的悲观态度更像是一股短暂的风潮。诚然，未来绝非一片光明。不过，我们已经有足够的知识去降低许多曾经威胁前人生存的危险，以及去改善后人的命运。

『柒』 2021考研英语阅读细节题实例及考试技巧

【导读】考研英语阅读在总分占比达到40分，是考研总分的将近二分之一，目前，已经进入了2021年考研英语冲刺阶段，也就是复习的收尾阶段，也是最为关键的阶段，现阶段需要大家回归复习的本源，进行考前模拟练习，其中就包括考研英语阅读细节题，需要大家把必要的解题技巧应用起来，今天给大家带来的是2021考研英语阅读细节题实例及考试技巧，一起来学习一下吧。

考研英语阅读理解细节题：

Growth, which rarely continues beyond the age of 20, demands calories and
nutrients- notably, protein- to feed expanding tissues. At the start of the 20th
century, under -nutrition and childhood infections got in the way. At the start
of 20 th century, under-nutrition and childhood infections got in the way. But
as diet and health improved, children and adolescents have, on average ,
increased in height by about an inch and a half every 20 years, a pattern known
as the secular trend in height. Yet according to the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention, average height-5’9’’ for men, 5’4’’ for women-hasn’t really
changed since 1960.

32. Which of the following plays a key role in body growth according to the
text?

A. Genetic modification

B. Natural environment

C. Living standards

D. Daily exercise

考研英语阅读理解细节题解析：

1、题干关键词准确定位：在细节题中挑选关键词的时候先选名词，同学们分析题目会发现出现的名词有key
role和growth，回读文章，发现有growth的原词复现，而且growth所在句中有demand要求正好同义替换文章中的play a key
role，且根据growth定位到唯一的句子，因此该句话就是我们的定位句。

2、分析定位句：定位句是个长难句，看到长难句同学们要先划分主干，重点分析主干部分，Growth demands calories and
nutrients to feed expanding tissues.核心词是calories and
nutrients.相信这两个词汇大家都不陌生，“燃烧我的卡路里”中的卡路里对应到我们英文中就是calories，nutrients是营养，考纲词汇也都背过，这就是定位句的核心。

3、对应选项。我们上一步分析了定位句的核心词是calories and nutrients，那我们分析四个选项那个可以概括这两个东西。A项，Genetic
modification先天改正，选项意思是先天改正对于我们的成长有着关键的作用，我们分析的卡路里和营养都是我们后天获得的东西并不涉及到先天，因此A选项显然是不对的。B项，Natural
environment自然环境，很显然卡路里和营养都不是自然环境的一部分，也排除B项;C项Living
standards生活水平，卡路里和营养物质的摄入都能够体现我们的生活水平，这个不难理解，随着咱们国家经济的发展，人们的生活水平得到了极大的提升，体现在我们的饮食方面那就是人们更加关注食品的卡路里，关注食品的营养价值，因此该选项是能够涵盖我们的关键词的，该项正确;D项，日常锻炼，我们一说到锻炼，大概想到的就是做一些运动，比如慢跑瑜伽，因此并不能跟我们的卡路里、营养等扯上关系，因此该项也不正确。综合分析，答案就是C项。

经过上述这道考研英语阅读理解细节题的分析，相信同学们对细节题的解题有了一定的了解。我们再来总结一下，细节题的解题：第一步，要根据关键词来在文章中快速的进行定位，找到我们要重点分析理解的定位句;第二步，对定位句进行分析，找到句子的核心词汇，在这里要强调一下同学们的词汇基础，平常一定要重视词汇的背诵和记忆，我们说词汇是英语的根基，而我们的技巧是重要的辅助，同学们在学习技巧的同时，也要重视词汇的记忆和背诵;第三步，分析选项，找到可以与定位句表达同样意思的选项，正确答案就出来了。

以上就是2021考研英语阅读细节题实例及考试技巧，希望大家在现阶段做题的时候能够重点关注，争取拿到新题型应该拿到的分数，祝大家考试成功，一切顺利!

『玖』 考研英语阅读理解翻译历年真题

“I've never met a human worth cloning,” says cloning expert Mark Westhusin from the cramped confines of his lab at Texas A&M University. “It's a stupid endeavor.” That's an interesting choice of adjective, coming from a man who has spent millions of dollars trying to clone a 13-year-old dog named Missy. So far, he and his team have not succeeded, though they have cloned two calves and expect to clone a cat soon. They just might succeed in cloning Missy later this year—or perhaps not for another five years. It seems the reproctive system of man's best friend is one of the mysteries of modern science.

Westhusin's experience with cloning animals leaves him vexed by all this talk of human cloning. In three years of work on the Missyplicity project, using hundreds upon hundreds of canine eggs, the A&M team has proced only a dozen or so embryos carrying Missy's DNA. None have survived the transfer to a surrogate mother. The wastage of eggs and the many spontaneously aborted fetuses may be acceptable when you're dealing with cats or bulls, he argues, but not with humans. “Cloning is incredibly inefficient, and also dangerous,” he says.

Even so, dog cloning is a commercial opportunity, with a nice research payoff. Ever since Dolly the sheep was cloned in 1997, Westhusin's phone at A&M College of Veterinary Medicine has been ringing busily. Cost is no obstacle for customers like Missy's mysterious owner, who wishes to remain unknown to protect his privacy. He's plopped down $3.7 million so far to fund the research because he wants a twin to carry on Missy?s fine qualities after she dies. But he knows her clone may not have her temperament. In a statement of purpose, Missy's owner and the A&M team say they are “both looking forward to studying the ways that her clone differs from Missy.”

The fate of the dog samples will depend on Westhusin's work. He knows that even if he gets a dog viably pregnant, the offspring, should they survive, will face the problems shown at birth by other cloned animals: abnormalities like immature lungs and heart and weight problems. “Why would you ever want to clone humans,” Westhusin asks, “when we?re not even close to getting it worked out in animals yet?” [397 words]

6. Mr. Westhusin thinks cloning is dangerous because_____ .

[A] animals are tortured to death in the experiments

[B]the public has expressed strong disapproval

[C] too many lives are wasted for laboratory use

[D] cloning becomes a quest only for profit

7. What is the problem confronting the Missyplicity project?

[A] The client holds a suspicious view toward it.

[B] There is a lack of funds to support the research.

[C] The owner is unwilling to disclose the information.

[D] Cloning dogs is a difficult biological problem.

8. Which of the following is true about animal cloning?

[A]Few private cloning companies could afford it

[B]Few people have realized its significance.

[C] An exact of a cat or bull can be made.

[D] It is becoming a prosperous instry.

9. From the passage we can infer that _____.

[A] Mr. Westhusin is going to clone a dog soon

[B] scientists are pessimistic about human cloning

[C] human reproctive system has not been understood

[D] rich people are only interested in cloning animals

10. Mr. Westhusin seems to believe that cloning______.

[A] is stupid and should be abandoned [B] has been close to success

[C] should be taken cautiously [D] is now in a dilemma

viably ad. ① 可实施地，切实可行地 *② 能存活地，能生长发育地

长难句分析

1. That's an interesting choice of adjective, coming from a man who has spent millions of dollars trying to clone a 13-year-old dog named Missy.

该句主干是That's an interesting choice of adjective。现在分词短语coming from... 做后置定语，修饰前面的名词choice，相当于一个定语从句(which is)coming from... ;在分词短语中，定语从句who... 也做后置定语，修饰先行词a man。

2. He knows that even if he gets a dog viably pregnant, the offspring, should they survive, will face the problems shown at birth by other cloned animals: abnormalities like immature lungs and heart and weight problems.

该句主干是He knows that... 。that引导的宾语从句是一个主从复合句，且从句位于主句之前，主句是the offspring will face the problems... ;从句是让步状语从句：even if he gets a dog viably pregnant;should they survive是个省略了if的条件状语从句，为插入语，修饰主句。另外，主句的宾语the problems后接有过去分词短语shown... 做后置定语，相当于一个定义从句(that)are shown... ;冒号后的名词短语做the problems的同位语。

语篇分析

本文题材涉及生物技术。作者从克隆动物这个角度间接论证克隆人的不可行性，主张应该慎重对待克隆人研究。它是一篇观点论证型文章，按照“提出观点—论证观点—重申观点”的脉络展开论述，可分成三部分。

第一段为第一部分，提出观点：克隆人是不可行的。

引用专家Mark Westhusin和一位试图克隆其爱犬的富人的话(never met a human worth cloning，a stupid endeavor)表达作者的观点。接着介绍Mark Westhusin所进行的克隆动物的实验(two calves，a cat and a dog)，并特别指出对狗的克隆最具难度(one of the mysteries of modern science)。

第二、三段为第二部分，论证观点。

第二段：指出Mark Westhusin克隆动物的经验使他极力反对克隆人(vexed by talking of human cloning)。首句是段落主题句。段中详细介绍了一个克隆狗的项目(the Missyplicity project)中出现的状况：①从成百上千的卵中只获得一打左右基因匹配的胚胎;②转移到母体时没有一个胚胎存活下来。从这些细节中可以推出，克隆是低效而且危险的。这在末句“Cloning is incredibly inefficient, and also dangerous”得到了证实。该段最后还给出了Mark Westhusin的观点：动物实验中的浪费现象在人的研究中不能被接受。因此，该段将Mark Westhusin反对克隆人的态度表露无疑。
