超精读——片面晋升英语阅读本领(4)
例3、六级2001年6月阅读第二篇
For centuries， explorers have risked their lives venturing into
the unknown for reasons that were to varying degrees economic and nationalistic.
……
Although their missions blended commercial and political-military
imperati
ves， the explorers involved all accomplished some significant science
simply by going where no scientists had gone before.
Today Mars looms as humanity‘s next great terra incognita. And with
doubtful prospects for a short-term financial return， with the cold war
a rapidly fading memory and amid a growing emphasis on international cooperation
in large space ventures， it is clear that imperatives other than profits
or nationalism will have to compel human beings to leave their tracks
on the planet’s reddish suITce. Could it be science， which has long
played a minor role in exploration， is at least destined to take a leading
role？……
With Mars the scientific stakes are arguably higher than they have
ever been.………
36. According to the passage， the chief purpose of explorers in going
to unknown places in the past was_____ .
A） to display their country‘s military might
B） to accomplish some significant science
C） to find new areas for colonization
D） to pursue commercial and state interests
37. At present， a probable inducement for countries to initiate large-scale
space ventures is _____ .
A） international cooperation B） nationalistic reasons
C） scientific research D） long-term profits
留意：economic / commercial / financial / profit； nationalistic /
political / military / cold war / nationalism； science / scientist/
scientific都是近义词或统一范围的词，也就阅读文章中常常出现的同义换词现
象。如果一个词的同义词、相干词在一篇文章中屡次频频出现，肯定是这篇文章
的夸张的中央，肯定和考题相干。另外，请留意这两道题的考法，先考过往，再
考现在，一个是was，一个是is.谜底D，C.
例4、考研2004年 Text 1
Hunting for a job late last year， lawyer Gant Redmon stumbled across
CareerBuilder， a job database on the Internet. He searched it with no
success but was attracted by the site‘s“personal search agent”。
It‘s an interactive feature that lets visitors key in job criteria
such as location， title， and salary， then emails them when a matching
position is posted in the database.
…。
Some sites design their agents to tempt job hunters to return. When
CareerSite‘s agent sends out messages to those who have signed up for
its service， for example， it includes only three potential jobs– those
it considers the best matches. There maybe more matches in the database
； job hunters will have to visit the site again to find them– and they
do.
44. Why does CareerSite‘s agent offer each job hunter only three
job options？
A） To focus on better job matches.
B） To attract more returning visits.
C） To reserve space for more messages.
D） To increase the rate of success.
请留意下面句中them是指代什么：then emails them when a matching position
is posted in the database.有的教诲书上是这么翻译的：然后给网上贴出的对
应岗位发个邮件/当…时，你就经由历程EMAIL给这些人寄往相干的材料。实在，这
里them指visitors.好比说你会面某个求职网站，登记了你的要求，那么该网站
年夜概会根据你的要求给你发email关照你，这便是所谓的interactive feature.
44题谜底B，理想上考的是一个例证题，可是表面上不很随便看出来，这就
是考研难的中央。如果你平常留意申明第一句话和背面句子的干系，那么你就会
晓得，例证题的谜底常常指向段落第一句话。谜底中attract更换原文tempt.如
果你在解题的时候只留意背面几句话，就年夜概会做错谜底大概速度慢了。
例五、考研2002年 Text 4
The Supreme Court‘s decisions on physician-assisted suicide carry
important implications for how medicine seeks to relieve dying patients
of pain and suffering.
Although it ruled that there is no constitutional right to physician-assisted
suicide， the Court in effect supported the medical principle of“double
effect”， a centuries-old moral principle holding that an action having
two effects– a good one that is intended and a harmful one that is foreseen
– is permissible if the actor intends only the good effect.
56. From the first three paragraphs， we learn that_____ .
A） doctors used to increase drug dosages to control their patients
‘ pain
B） it is still illegal for doctors to help the dying end their lives
C） the Supreme Court strongly opposes physician-assisted suicide
D） patients have no constitutional right to commit suicide
谜底B，这几段里有不少和法则相干单词可以学习，好比constitutional /
rule / supreme court， rule这个词在这里是讯断的意思，良多去世背词汇书的
同学测验中就不一定可以反响反应出这个意思。这道题目的烦扰项之一C很存心思，
巨匠有没有留意到strongly这个词，这个选项就错在这里。请看一下第二段Although
这句话，了解一下这句话的内涵（虽然，可是），这句话的内涵是最高法院虽然
以为年夜夫帮助病人自杀长短法的，是持反对立场的，但并不是激烈反对！所以年夜
家在做题的时候一定要留意选项中的描述词和副词等限制词，这些中央常常是陷
阱，异样文章中出现这类词汇也需要高度鉴戒。
第五步：翻译文章大概与译文（倘使有）比较学习
这一步最具有挑衅性，但可以使你对英文的了解更准确，可以让你更自在地
在中英文之间驰骋。
同学们在举行超精读时，可以参考以上五个步伐举行。如果另有什么题目，
大概我说的不当的中央，接待一同讨论！我的博客地点为：（xzding.diandian.net）
另外同学们也可以到点点英语超精读专版（bbs.diandian.net/index.asp？
boardid=147）
和广大英语快乐喜爱者一同对“超精读”举行学习、练习、讨论，共同提高英语
程度，英语学习的路途是永无尽头的！
末了援用一个我与一个网上同学的对话来结束这篇文章，希看列位同学都能
早日视深入地了解英语为一种享用，并顺遂霸占英语这个碉堡。
问：您说的超精读会破费良多时候的岂非不是吗？
答：呵呵，你搞错了，你做题目的时候是在划定时候之内完成。钻研题目的
时候超精读，晓得吗？精读之外，钻研好出题点，解题本领，如何会过不了？不
花时候，如何提高？你不精读，此次过不了，下次还要再考，更花时候，浪费的
是你的青春。
