2.可以把类比看做是特殊的例证，找出其说明的观点
3.识别一下作者把什么比作什么，对解题有帮助
出现独句段及一个句子单独成段（宏观）
当独句段出现在文章开始或末尾，该独句段所阐释的意义就是中心思想，出
现在文章中间的时候一般起承上启下的作用
引用无论正确的引述或反面引述都是为了说明文章的主题，重点找出作者支持的观点
层层递进（宏观）
一篇文章的整体或几个段落的问题，由从抽象到具体，由初级到高级，从简单到复杂的过程，且各段开始都出现递进词，注意把握这种文章的中心段或几段的核心观点，必然出现在层层递进的最后一段
问题答案型（宏观）
该类型文章往往第一段出现一个问题，随后各段提供答案，文章的中心就是该问题最直接最主要的答案
时文（宏观）
特点:1耸人听闻，吸引眼球
2貌似客观，内含态度
3抛砖引玉，引起争论
重点把握，中心句一般出现在首段末句或第二段首句
1.例证题
标志：example，illustration，demonstration，case，动词形式也是
关键在于找到例子支持的观点，而不在例子本身
a：首先返回原文，找到例子出现的位置
b：从例子本身出发，80%向上搜索
c：在4个选项中，寻找与找到的观点表达最一致，意思接近的一个；特别注意例证题强烈干扰信息的设计特征是就事论事，把某一部分内容放在选项中，
错误在于混淆论点与论据，列举无关常识
2.词汇题
在题目中明确指出原文中某处单词或词组，要求辨别
如果认识，属于大纲词汇，则其字面意思必不是正确答案，重要的是单词上下文。正确答案是根据上下文推测一个更加深刻的含义；如果不认识，正确答案经常存在于该词汇出现的句子附近，，按两种方法推理：1代入替换2在上下文中寻找同词性的词或词组，利用上下文逻辑关系判断（就近原则)
3.细节试题
标志：what，where，when，who，which，how
三大信息：题干中明确提到时间地点人物等细节信息，有可能针对文章中的一句或几句话发问，题干和选项之间可能是因果关系
解题关键：返回原文
a：根据时间地点人物等关键词返回原文
b:根据出题顺序返回原文
c：根据题干中的重点词或者同义词返回
d：根据长难句（一般是出题点）返回原文
4.句子理解题
标志：在题干中明确指出原文中某句话要求理解其意义
关键：做此类题目重要的是句子本身
步骤：重点是返回原文，对该句子进行语法，句法，文法的精准解析，要精确理解该句子的深层含义；如果含义不能确定，则依据上下文进行判断。特别注意局部含义是由整体含义决定的。一般来说，选项中的正确答案与原句之间是一
种同义关系，只不过用其他词汇表达而已；句子理解题错误选项的特征经常是推的过远，做题时应把握推的度，正确选项不包含过于绝对化的词语
5.指代题
标志：在题干中明确指出原文中某个代词，要求辨别其指代意义，常考的指代词有it，that，one等
步骤：首先返回原文，定位该代词，向上搜索，找最近的名词，名词性短语或句子，将找到的词短语或句子的意思代入替换该指代词，看其意思是否通顺。在4个选项中找出与找到的词短语或句子的意思最接近的一个即为正确答案
6.主旨大意题
标志：best title，main idea，conclusion，mainly discuss，purpose，解题关键：利用宏观阅读解题，不管出在第几题，均最后做
做题方法：a段落少，串线法，把首段中心句和其余段落第一句话连起来读一遍，把其含义看作一个整体，做判断
b：段落多，快速作文法在两个选项难以分辨时，可以分别以这两个选项作为作文的题目，快速构思两个写作提纲，若提纲与原文大致相符合则为正确答案
c：做题时特别小心文章首句的陷阱，它可能是抛砖引玉的作用只是个引子，跟文章中心无直接联系，选项既不能选局部信息，也不能选范围过宽信息
7.态度题
标志：attitude，believe，consider，deem，regard
作者态度一般分为三大类：（等价选项不能选，即在同一类）
a：支持乐观赞同
b：客观中立公正
c:反对批评怀疑悲观失望
有些选项一定不选（永赔选项）：indifference（漠不关心）subjective（主观的）biased（有偏见的）puzzled（迷惑的）
识别作者态度的方法：1可以根据作者论述的主线及举例的方式进行判断2当作者态度没有明确提出时找文中带有褒贬含义含有感情色彩的词语特别方法：作者态度一般与文章的中心相关联，做题不要把自己的态度放进去，而且要区分好作者的态度和作者引用别人的态度
态度题新趋势
a：现在的态度题不仅仅考察作者的态度，也可能考文中某人的观点态度，应注意题目中是考察谁对谁的态度
b：选项可能不再是态度明确的肯定或否定的词，而是有程度限制的词，带有如下词语的往往是正确选项：guarded
谨慎的，qualified保留的，tempered缓和的，因为带保留态度的观点比较客观，一般带有绝对或过硬的词语修饰的选项是错的，如strongly，completely，entirely
8.信息匹配题
仔细阅读首段尾句，以及其余各段的首句，画出显示逻辑关系的词以及一些关键词
确定首尾句关系，先慢后快去做题
进行最后的通读检查
先读标题，划出标题中的关键词，借助标题对文章串线进行整体理解，做题
时不一定按原文的顺序，最好先易后难，最好阅读段落首尾句以及转折处，做出最终判断时一定要找到明确的匹配关系，也就是标题中关键词的重复出现或同义近义词替换
9.判断题
标志：which of the following is true/not true/not mentioned
all of the following statements are true/correct/mentioned except 解题思路：a首先判断是“三错一对”还是“三对一错”，对则是符合原文或作者的态度，错即和原文有矛盾或未提及或与作者态度相反
b：每个选项都应力争返回原文，一一对照而排除，
c：注意这种题目选项，有时会是集中于某段的信息，或是具备某种共同特征，所以可以先对比一下四个选项，找出其可能的共同点，再回原文对照定位10推理题
标志：infer，imply，learn
解题关键：a绝大多数推理题答案是中心或者文章中的同意表达，正确选项与文章中句子基本上不存在推理关系
b：做题时看是否可通过题干返回原文，或依选项返回原文，一般围绕文中一两个重点句进行思考，特别是注意文章中含义深刻或结构复杂的句子，因为长难句一般是命题所在
c：特别注意做题时不能想的太多，推的太远，是否能把文章看懂才是关键八大宏观阅读技巧
一、花开两朵，各表一枝
写作的模式一般是开始提出两个核心概念，随后分段论述。阅读这种类型的
文章，关键是要把握两个概念的定义以及它们的区别与联系以及各自特征。
二、问题答案型
改写作模式往往是在第一段出现一个问题，在随后的各段提供该问题的答案。阅读时重点理解该文章的中心，其中心就是该问题的最直接最主要的答案
三、时文
特点：耸人听闻，吸引眼球；貌似客观，内涵态度；抛砖引玉，一起争论阅读时文时，把握时文的中心出现在首段的末句，或者二段的首句。
四、独句段
出现一个句子单独成段，特别是其出现在文章开始或者结尾，一般其表达的是文章的中心思想。若位于文章中间部分一般是承上启下的作用。但少部分出现在中间，表达中心思想。
五、开门见山
文章的写作特点是：直接给出观点，摆出事实论据，进行推理论证，每段都紧扣文章的主题。
六、启承传合
阅读时要抓住论点，区分论点合论据的关系，因为题目设计往往围绕论点进行，并要注意把握文章首尾的前后呼应关系。
七、平铺直叙
事实合观点交叉出现，在字里行间达到阐明观点的目的，需要大家综合各段内容，通过分析和归纳判断。抓住首段和文章隐含的中心思想。
八、层层递进
一篇文章的整体，或者几个段落论述的问题，由从抽象到具体，从初级到高
级，从简单到复杂的过程，且各段从开始都出现递进词，阅读时注意把握这种文章的中心，或几段的核心。观点必然出现在层层递进各段的最后一段。
五大微观阅读技巧
一、虚拟语气
1、作者写作时采用虚拟语气，一般表示建议、态度、和观点，用来表达一种反事实的假设。
2、阅读时，重点要体会作者利用反话正说，正话反说所传递的言外之意。
二、长难句
1、主句，从句多又长，一个主句带多个从句，从句又含从句
2、方法：（1）先抓整句话的主干，从前向后读句子，找出独立的谓语部分，把握复杂句中，最核心的主谓宾语，再根据从句的连接词，区分主从句，层层扩展进行理解。
3、分词短语、to do结构，独立主格的干扰
注意理解主句最完整的特征就是有完整的主谓结构，尤其是独立的主谓语部分，一个看似句子的结构，如果没有独立的诸位部分，它不是句子，而是分词短语、to do结构，独立主格。
三、长难句基本语法结构
1、形式主语或宾语
2、强调句结构
3、非限制性定语从句
4、同位语从句
5、倒装结构
6、省略句
四、标点符号的作用
1、句号：用来分割句子，以句子为单位把一个长的段落切分成为不同的句型。
2、逗号：两个逗号之间，或者一个逗号之后是用是一个补充说明成分，可以先不看。
3、冒号：冒号前后是从抽象到具体的过程，后面进一步是具体补充说明前面的内容。
4、分号前后是并列关系，包括结构上并列和语义上的并列。
5、破折号：两个破折号之间或者一个破折号之后是补充说明成分，可以先不看。
6、引号：一种作用是用来引用别人的观点，用来支持作者观点，或者是作为批判的对象。
一种是说反话，表示反语。
7、括号：补充说明的作用。
五、类比关系
1、类比，引用，举例都是为了要说明观点，阅读时可以把类比看做特殊的例证，重点是要找出作者所支持的观点。
2、阅读的时候注意识别一下类比的核心概念，作者把什么比喻成了什么，也就是类比或者比喻的对象。
错误答案十大特征：
1.无中生有（原文未提及）
2.正反混淆
3.答非所问（选项符合原文但不符合题干）
4.过分绝对（never，must，absolutely，none）
5.扩大范围（隐蔽性扩大范围）
6.因果倒置（逻辑关系）
7.常识判断（符合常识不一定正确，不符合常识一定不正确）
8.推理过度
9.变换词性（往往词的意思也变了）
10.偷换概念（个别的词换了）
正确答案五大特征：
1、正确答案通常与文章中心思想，主旨大意有关。
2、正确答案所在位置（1）首段段尾句（2）转折处（3）因果关系处（4）条件关系处
3、正确答案设置的特点往往利用同义词的替换，或者正话反说，反话正说。
4、正确答案从语义上去理解经常含有不肯定的语气词和委婉表达的词：can may might尤其是推理题的答案常这样设置，以显示推理题所论述含义的相对性。
5、正确答案具有概括性，深刻性，因为其考查的对象是阅读文章的重点和要点。
遇到难的单词时：
A、如果影响到文章的理解时要要根据上下文进行判断。
B、不影响整体理解时可直接跳过，重要的是要相信自己能读懂。
关键的句子读不懂时
关键的句子读不懂时，首先从结构角度进行缩句，找出独立的谓语动词可以帮助理解句子的主干。若连谓语动词都找不到可以借助上下文逻辑关系对这句话意思进行猜测。
遇到文章完全看不懂时：
遇到难的文章时可通读文章第一句话和尾段第一句话看是否能把握住前后呼应的关系猜测文章大意，与此同时快速浏览全文，充分做记号。记号点：1、显示文章结构的信息词：but、even、although、for example。2、显示作者态度的具有感情色彩的词
五遍真题的阅读：
1.抓文章中心和论述的宏观结构
2.认真把握各自然段大意，争取用一到两个词概括各段大意，并给文章分层
3.以段为单位，对文章进行深层分析，即对单词的记忆，以及对整篇文章背诵（长难句）
4.佳句摘录，模拟写作
5.换位思考，分析出题人为什么选这篇文章，难点在哪，文章论述的结构是什么，并对每题每个选项做出精确分析找出文章出处，分析错误选项的特征
2015考研英语阅读理解精读P18—医学 Passage 18(Doctor-assisted Suicide：Is It Ever an Option?) Should doctor-assisted suicide ever be a legal option? It involves the extreme measure of taking the life of a terminally ill patient when the patient is in extreme pain and the chances for recovery appear to be none.Those who argue against assisted suicide do so by considering the roles of the patient，the doctor，and nature in these situations. Should the patient take an active role in assisted suicide? When a patient is terminally ill and in great pain，those who oppose assisted suicide say that it should not be up to that patient to decide what his or her fate will be.There are greater powers at work that determine when a person dies，for example，nature.Neither science nor personal preference should take precedence over these larger forces. What role should the doctor have? Doctors，when taking the Hippocratic oath，swear to preserve life at all costs，and it is their ethical and legal duty to follow both the spirit and the letter of this oath.It is their responsibilities to heal the sick，and in the cases when healing is not possible，then the doctor is obliged to make the dying person comfortable.Doctors are trained never to hasten death.Those who oppose assisted suicide believe that doctors who do help terminally ill patients die are committing a crime，and they should be dealt with accordingly.Doctors are also，by virtue of their humanness，capable of making mistakes.Doctors could quite possibly say，for instance，that a cancer patient was terminal，and then the illness could later turn out not to be so serious.There is always an element of doubt concerning the future outcome of human affairs. The third perspective to consider when thinking about assisted suicide is the role of nature.Life is precious.Many people believe that it is not up to human beings to decide when to end their own or another’s life.Only nature determines when it is the right time for a person to die.To assist someone in suicide is not only to break criminal laws，but to break divine 1aws as well. These general concerns of those who oppose assisted suicide are valid in certain contexts of the assisted suicide question.For instance，patients cannot always be certain of their medical conditions.Pain clouds judgment，and so the patient should not be the sole arbiter of her or his own destiny.Patients do not usually choose the course of their medical treatment，so they shouldn’t be held completely responsible for decisions related to it.Doctors are also fallible，and it is understandable that they would not want to make the final decision about when death should occur.Since doctors are trained to prolong life，they usually do not elect to take it by prescribing assisted suicide. I believe that blindly opposing assisted suicide does no one a service.If someone is dying of
2010年考研英语阅读理解部分翻译真题译文+题目翻译 但为君故 但为君故 整理组
Text 1 在过去的25年英语报纸所发生的变化中，影响最深远的可能就是它们对艺术方面的报道在范围上毫无疑问的缩小了，而且这些报道的严肃程度也绝对降低了。 对于年龄低于40岁的普通读者来讲，让他们想象一下当年可以在许多大城市报纸上读到精品的文艺评论简直几乎是天方夜谭。然而，在20世纪出版的最重要的文艺评论集中，人们读到的大部分评论文章都是从报纸上收集而来。现在，如果读到这些集子，人们肯定会惊诧，当年这般渊博深奥的内容竟然被认为适合发表在大众日报中。 从20世纪早期到二战以前，当时的英国报纸上的评论主题广泛，包罗万象，我们现在离此类报纸评论越来越远。当时的报纸极其便宜，人们把高雅时尚的文艺批评当作是所刊登报纸的一个亮点。在那些遥远的年代，各大报刊的评论家们都会不遗余力地详尽报道他们所报道的事情，这在当时被视为是理所当然的事情。他们的写作是件严肃的事情，人们相信：甚至那些博学低调不喜欢炫耀的评论家，比如George Bernard Shaw和Ernest Newman也知道自己在做什么（即他们的文章会高调出现在报纸上）。这些批评家们相信报刊评论是一项职业，并且对于他们的文章能够在报纸上发表感到很自豪。“鉴于几乎没有作家能拥有足够的智慧或文学天赋以保证他们在新闻报纸写作中站稳脚跟”，Newman曾写道，“我倾向于把‘新闻写作’定义为不受读者欢迎的作家用来嘲讽受读者欢迎的作家的一个‘轻蔑之词’” 不幸的是，这些批评家们现在实际上已被人们遗忘。从1917年开始一直到1975年去世不久前还在为曼彻斯特《卫报》写文章的Neville Cardus，如今仅仅作为一个撰写关于板球比赛文章的作家被人们所知。但是，在他的一生当中，他也是英国首屈一指的古典音乐评论家之一。他也是一位深受读者青睐的文体家，所以1947年他的《自传》一书就成为热销读物。1967年他被授予爵士称号，也是第一位获此殊荣的音乐评论家。然而，他的书现在只有一本可以在市面上买到。他大量的音乐批评，除了专门研究音乐评论的人以外，已鲜为人知。 Cardus的评论有没有机会重新流行？前景似乎渺茫。在他去世之前，新闻业的品味早已改变很长时间了，而且他所擅长的措词华丽的维多利亚爱德华时期的散文风格对后现代的读者没有什么用处。何况，由业余爱好者作音乐批评的传统早已经成为昨日黄花了。 21. 第一段和第二段指出 A 文艺评论已经从大城市的报纸上消失了 B 英文报纸过去常刊登更多文艺评论方面的文章
2016 年全国硕士研究生入学统一考试英语（一） 真题及答案（完整版） Text 1 France, which prides itself as the global innovator of fashion, has decided its fashion industry has lost an absolute right to define physical beauty for woman. Its lawmakers gave preliminary approval last week to a law that would make it a crime to employ ultra-thin models on runways. The parliament also agreed to ban websites that" incite excessive thinness" by promoting extreme dieting. Such measures have a couple of uplifting motives. They suggest beauty should not be defined by looks that end up with impinging on health. That's a start. And the ban on ultra-thin models seems to go beyond protecting models from starring themselves to health -as some have done. It tells the fashion industry that it move take responsibility for the signal it sends women, especially teenage girls, about the social tape -measure they must use to determine their individual worth. The bans, if fully enforced ,would suggest to woman （and many men ）that they should not let others be orbiters of their beauty .And perhaps faintly, they hint that people should look to intangible qualities like character and intellect rather than dieting their way to sine zero or wasp-waist physiques . The French measures, however, rely too much on severe punishment to change a culture that still regards beauty as skin-deep-and bone-showing. Under the law, using a fashion model that does not meet a government-defined index of body mess could result in a $85,000 fine and six months in prison. The fashion industry knows it has an inherent problem in focusing on material adornment and idealized body types. In Denmark, the United States, and a few other countries, it is trying to set voluntary standard for models and fashion images there rely more on pear pressure for enforcement. In contrast to France's actions, Denmark's fashion industry agreed last month on rules and sanctions regarding age, health, and other characteristics of models .The newly revised Danish Fashion Ethical charter clearly states, we are aware of and take responsibility for the impact the fashion industry has on body ideals, especially on young people. The charter's main toll of enforcement is to deny access for designers and modeling agencies to Copenhagen. Fashion week, which is men by the Danish Fashion Institute .But in general it relies on a name-and -shame method of compliance. Relying on ethical persuasion rather than law to address the misuse of body ideals may be the best step. Even better would be to help elevate notions of beauty beyond the material standards of a particular industry. 21. According to the first paragraph, what would happen in France [A] Physical beauty would be redefined [B] New runways would be constructed
考研英语阅读理解模拟试题及答案(三) Passage 11 Dream is a story that a personwatchesor even takes part in during sleep. Dream events are imaginary, but they are related to real experiences and needs in the dreamer's life. They seem real while they are taking place. Some dreams are pleasant, others are annoying, and still others are frightening. Everyone dreams, but some persons never recall dreaming. Others remember only a little about a dream they had just before awakening and nothing about earlier dreams. No one recalls all his dreams. Dreams involve little logical thought. In most dreams, the dreamer cannot control what happens to him. The story may be confusing, and things happen that would not happen in real life. People see in most dreams, but they may also hear, smell, touch, and taste in their dreams. Most dreams occur in color. but persons who have been blind since birth do not see at all in dreams. Dreams are a product of the sleeper's mind. They
考研英语阅读理解精读100篇之经济类
考研英语阅读理解精读100篇之经济类 unit1 unit1 Some of the concerns surrounding Turkey’s application to join the European Union, to be voted on by the EU’s Council of Ministers on December 17th, are economic-in particular, the country’s relative poverty. Its GDP per head is less than a third of the average for the 15 pre-2004 members of the EU. But it is not far off that of one of the ten new members which joined on May 1st 2004 (Latvia), and it is much the same as those of two countries, Bulgaria and Romania, which this week concluded accession talks with the EU that could make them full members on January 1st 2007. Furthermore, the country’s recent economic progress has been, according to Donald Johnston, the secretary-general of the OECD, "stunning". GDP in the second quarter of the year was 13.4% higher than a year earlier, a rate of growth that no EU country comes close to matching. Turkey’s inflation rate has just fallen into single figures for the first time since 1972, and this week the country reached agreement with the IMF on a new three-year, $10 billion economic programme that will, according to the IMF’s managing director, Rodrigo Rato, "help Turkey... reduce inflation toward European levels, and enhance the economy’s resilience". Resilienc e has not historically been the country’s economic strong point. As recently as 2001, GDP fell by over 7%. It fell by more than 5% in 1994, and by

2020年考研英语阅读理解模拟试题：医学（4） It is a startling claim， but one that Congresswoman Deborah Pryce uses to good effects： the equivalent of two classrooms full of children are diagnosed with cancer every day. Mrs. Pryce lost her own 9-year-old daughter to cancer in 1999. Pediatric cancer remains a little-understood issue in America， where the health-care debate is consumed with the ills， pills and medical bills of the elderly. Cancer kills more children than any other disease in MERICA. 1） although there have been tremendous gains in cancer survival rates in recent decades， the proportion of children and teens diagnosed with different forms of the disease increased by almost a third between 1975 and 2001. 2） Grisly though these statistics are， they are still tiny when set beside the number of adult lives lost to breast cancer （41，000 each year） and lung cancer （164，000）。Adbocates foor more money for child cancer prefer to look at life-years lost， the average age for cancer diagnosis in a young child is six， while the average adult is diagnosed in their late 60s. Robert Arceci， a pediatric cancer export at Johns Hopkins， points out that in terms of total life-years saved， the benefit from curing pediatric cancer victims is roughly the same as curing adults with breast cancer. There is an obvious element of special pleading in such calculations， all the same， breast cancer has attracted a flurry of publicity， private fund-raising and money from government.

TEXT 2 He emerged, all of a sudden, in 1957: the most explosive new poetic talent of the English post-war era. Poetry specialised, at that moment, in the wry chronicling of the everyday. The poetry of Yorkshire-born Ted Hughes, first published in a book called “The Hawk in the Rain” when he was 27, was unlike anything written by his immediate predecessors. Driven by an almost Jacobean rhetoric, it had a visionary fervour. Its most eye-catching characteristic was Hughes's ability to get beneath the skins of animals: foxes, otters, pigs. These animals were the real thing all right, but they were also armorial devices—symbols of the countryside and lifeblood of the earth in which they were rooted. It gave his work a raw, primal stink. It was not only England that thought so either. Hughes's book was also published in America, where it won the Galbraith prize, a major literary award. But then, in 1963, Sylvia Plath, a young American poet whom he had first met at Cambridge University in 1956, and who became his wife in the summer of that year, committed suicide. Hughes was vilified for long after that, especially by feminists in America. In 1998, the year he died, Hughes broke his own self-imposed public silence about their relationship in a book of loose-weave poe ms called “Birthday Letters”.In this new and exhilarating collection of real letters, Hughes returns to the issue of his first wife's death, which he calls his “big and unmanageable event”. He felt his talent muffled by the perpetual eavesdropping upon his every move. Not until he decided to publish his own account of their relationship did the burden begin to lighten. The analysis is raw, pained and ruthlessly self-aware. For all the moral torment, the writing itself has the same rush and vigour that possessed Hughes's early poetry.
2010年考研英语阅读理解真题 Text 3 The Accidental Influentials In his book The Tipping Point, Malcolm Gladwell argues that social epidemics are driven in large part by the action of a tiny minority of special individuals, often called influentials, who are unusually informed, persuasive, or well-connected. 在《引爆流行》这本书中，作者Malcolm Gladwell 认为社会流行潮流在很大程度上是由一小部分特殊个体的行为引起的。这些人就是人们常说的影响者。他们异乎寻常的博闻多识，能言善辩，人脉广泛。 The idea is intuitively compelling, but it doesn't explain how ideas actually spread. 从直觉上讲Malcolm Gladwell的理论似乎很有说服力，但是它没有解释流行观念的实际传播过程。 The supposed importance of influentials derives from a plausible sounding but largely untested theory called the "two step flow of communication": Information flows from the media to the influentials and from them to everyone else. 人们之所以认为影响者很重要，是源于"两级传播"理论。即信息先从媒体流向影响者，然后再从影响者流向其他人。这一理论看似合理，但未经验证。Marketers have embraced the two-step flow because it suggests that if they can just find and influence the influentials, those selected people will do most of the work for them. 营销人员接受两级传播理论是因为该理论认为如果能够找到影响者，并对他们施加影响。这些精英们就会替他们完成大部分的营销传播工作。 The theory also seems to explain the sudden and unexpected popularity of certain looks, brands, or neighborhoods. 这一理论似乎还可以解释某些装扮、品牌或社区为何会突然受到出乎意料的追捧。

2015考研英语阅读理解精读P18—工学 类 Passage 18 Tennis hopeful Jamie Hunt, 16, felt he could not become a world-class junior player while attending a regular school. The international circuit has players on the road 50% of the time--and it's hard to focus on your backhand when you're worrying about being on time for homeroom. So last year Hunt, who hones his ground strokes at Elite TNT Tennis Academy in April Sound, Texas, enrolled for academics in the $9,750-a-year University of Miami Online High School (UMOHS), a virtual school that caters to athletes. "The online school gives me the flexibility I need," says Hunt. "The workload is the same, but I can do it anywhere. It's nicer to ask a question face-to-face with a teacher, but in some ways it prepares me better for college because I have to be more independent." A year ago, Hunt's world junior ranking was 886; now it's 108. Virtual high schools, which allow students to take classes via PC, have emerged as an increasingly popular education alternative, particularly for on-the-go athletes. UMOHS has more than 400 students enrolled, 65% of whom are athletes. Accredited by the 100-year-old Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, UMOHS offers honors and advanced-placement classes. All course material is online, along with assignments and due dates. For help, says principal Howard Liebman, "a student may e-mail, instant message or call the teacher." Dallas mom Lori Bannon turned to another online school, Laurel Springs in Ojai, Calif. Bannon, who has a medical degree from Harvard, didn't want to compromise the education of her daughter Lindsay, 13, an élite gymnast who spends eight hours a day in the gym. "Regular school was not an option," says Bannon, "but I wanted to make sure she could go back at grade level if she quit gymnastics." Laurel Springs' enrollment has increased 35% a year for the past four years, to 1,800 students. At least 25% are either athletes or child entertainers. Educators are split on the merits of such schools. Paul Orehovec, an enrollment officer for the University of Miami, admits, "I was somewhat of a skeptic. But when I looked into their programs and accreditation, I was excited. UMOHS is the first online school to be granted membership in the National Honor Society." Kevin Roy, Elite's director of education, sees pitfalls and potential in virtual schools. "You will never have that wonderful teacher who inspires you for life," says Roy. "But the virtual school offers endless possibilities. I don't know where education's imagination will take this." 注(1)：本文选自Time;11/29/2004, p149-149, 1/2p, 1c; 注(2)：本文习题命题模仿对象2004年真题text 4第1、2题(1、2)，text 1 第2 题(3)，text 3第5 题(5)和2000年真题text 4第4题(4); 1.
