2013考研英语二阅读真题解析
总体上来说，2013的考研英语二阅读的难度基本维持了前两年的难度，但值得一提的是, 还是存在一些变化：
1. 阅读新题型今年再次变化，考了段落标题题型，和曾经考研英语一的新题型
是一样的，难度上也相应有所增加。
2. 段落推断题减少，相应的细节填充题增多。
3. 相对于以往的正确选项基本不含有核心原词的情况，2013年的正确选项原词
（包括原词的词根不变，词性改变的情况）含有增加，平均每篇文章包含两题。常见的由原文到正确选项的原词改变形式有：
（1）名词变为动词或者形容词（反之也成立）
（2）原文中的形容词A+名词B形式替换成形容词A1+名词B或者形容词A +名词B1的形式。
（3）原文中的动词A+名词B形式替换成动词A1+名词B或者动词A+名词B1的形式。
我们在课上讲过的一些阅读已经做题理论和技巧也是完全适用的。
1. 主旨第一
任何一篇文章首先要搞懂就是文章主旨。任何题一定是在主旨的指导之下来做题的。主旨可以让我们做主旨题和态度题也可以帮助我们做细节题。那么主旨一般情况下，会在文章的首段出现（段首、段中转折处、段尾）或者是第二段首句出现。所以无论如何首先要把第一段读懂，在考试的时候反复研读都不为过，如果首段读不懂那么只能通过下面的细节去搞懂文章了。
2. 首尾一致
我们在读文章的时候，思维通常都很模糊，眉毛胡子一把抓，一头钻进细节里面出不来，所以我们总是在费力的读懂每一句话，但是我们却忽视了读懂每一段的重要性，忽略找出段乱中间关系的重要性。只有读懂段乱，读懂每段之间的关系才能真正读懂文章，才能能做出主旨题和细节题。那么如何在生词多、句子复杂的情况下搞懂段落主旨呢？其实在大部分情况下我们只需搞懂每段的段首和段中转折处就知道这段的意思了。如果你发现段首和段尾的意思是一样的，那么证明这段一定就是这样的意思，不管中间你有多没看懂，很有可能都不会影响你阅读和做题。
3. 顺序原则
4. 文章的出题顺序和段落顺序保持一致。这个有助我们快速定位到出题段落。
5. 首段考题
一般情况下，首段都会出题。
6. 三句两段（意群）一般根据定位词定位到出题句后，我们需要看1-3句话，如果看完之后做不出来，两种可能：（1）定位错误。（2）需要继续往下一段。
1. 定位词原则
2. 原词原则
下面我们来逐篇分析
Text1
文章来自《纽约时报》，文章标题为Average is over。
第一段整段引用了一篇文章里的一个笑话，在考研英英语里，例子的概念是一个广泛的概念，故事、引用、案例等都可称作例子。在这个例子里面有一些生词或者一些句子不认识，但是我们要知道，文章开头举例一定是要引出一个跟这个例子有关的比较抽象概括的中心论点，这个论点会在首段末句出现或者次段首句出现。根据文章显然是在次段首句，也就是整个第二段：Davidson’s article i s one of a number of pieces that have recently appeared making the point that the reason we have such stubbornly high unemployment and declining middle-class incomes today is largely because of --------, but it is also because of th e advances in both globalization and the information technology revolution, whi ch are more rapidly than ever replacing labor with machines or foreign worker.这是个长难句，在考研英语中长难句是俯拾皆是，所以不管我们应用什么的技巧分析，单词和分析长难句的基本功是要具备的，这就需要我们长期的去训练，需要我们从大三甚至从一大二就应该大量的阅读，积累词汇，积累语感和分析长难句的能力。这句话大概意思：Davidson的文章指出：美国的失业率高一级美国中场阶级的收入降低除了---原因之外，还因为全球化以及信息革命，而全球化和信息革命使的我们在不断用机器和外国劳工代替本国劳动力。这句话就是本篇的中心思想，下面所有的话都是围绕着句话展开的，有了这句话事实上我们就可以尝试做题了。但是基础比较差的同学可以继续往下看，多看点细节后再来做题。
21. The joke in Paragraph 1 is used to illustrate_______第一段里的笑话是为了说明什么？（例子题）
显然这是一题例子题，根据前面的论述，这个笑话是为了引出主旨：全球化以及信息革命对于美国本国劳工的负面影响。也就是关键词but后这句话。所以我们选择A the impact
22. According to Paragraph 3, to be a successful employee, one has to___ ___（细节题）
根据题干里的定位词employee，我们无法定位，但是我们可以定位到emplo yer，而employer和employee是相对的两个词，所以出现employer就有可能和e mployee，所以我们定位到这段的第二句话以及第三句话“Therefore, everyone n
eeds to find their extra —their unique value contribution that makes them sta nd out in whatever is their field of employment”，也就是关键词“therefore”所在句：人人都需要发现自己额外的价值，可以让他们在各自从事的行业脱颖而出的价值。此句中的stand out与题干中的successful意思一样，所以选择 C contrib ute something unique.
23. The quotation in Paragraph 4 explains that ______（细节题、主旨题）此题可以采取主旨法来做。题干中“quotation”这个单词必须要认识，表示“引用”因论文当中一切的引用都是和文章主旨有着直接的或者间接的联系，是为了直接或者间接证明的文章的主旨（球化以及信息革命对于美国本国劳工的负面影响）所以我们甚至不需要读文章，只需选择一个跟主旨最接近的选项或者主旨本身选项即可。A“选项科技带来的好处已经被消除”跟文章主旨没有任何关系。C.“工厂现在挣的钱比以前少了”跟文章主旨也没有任何关系。 D.“新的工作机会和服务被提供。”跟主旨正好是相反的。只有C“工作机会正在快速下滑。”这正是主旨“负面影响”的表现。
当然此题也可以采取细节题的做题方式来做。
。根据题干，定位到第四段：Yet, new technology has been eating jobs -----but there’s been an acceleration. As Davidson notes “in the 10 years ….”
句中的new technology has been eating jobs,表示科技正在吃掉工作，但是but there’s been an acceleration.吃掉的速度正在上升。所有选择B选项。
24. According to the author, to reduce unemployment, the most important i s_____根据作者的意思，为了降低失业率，最重要的是要？（细节题）根据顺序原则，考的是最后两段。倒数第二段主旨为：随着IT革命，最好的工作往往要求人们具备更好的教育背景，以此来打败普通的人。另外最后一段里在关键词but 转折后“但是没有什么比通过类似于G.I 这样的法案更重要了。这样的法案可以保证每个美国人都有接受高等教育的机会。这两个信息点都在告诉我们教育对于工作的重要性，都有选择B
25.which of the following would be the most appropriate title for the text? (主旨题)
此题为典型的标题主旨题。做主旨题只需明确主旨是什么就可以把题做出来。显然主旨是科技对于工作的负面影响。
A．“科技在变得廉价”，显然跟主旨没有任何关系 B. “新的法律生效” 跟主旨没有关系 C “经济萧条是不好的” 跟主旨没有关系 D.“工作技能平庸时代已经结束”。言外之意就是在科技革不断革新对于我们工作产生负面影响的时代，我们只有不断加强教育才能，超越平庸才能立足脚跟。而且文章里也是反复出现“average”这个字眼儿。
总结：
1. 出题处还是传统的关键词（表示转折、因果、递进、强调等）所在句。五道
题里有2道题的出题句是在but 转折后。有1道题是在therefore后面。所以我们在读文章的时候就可以预测考点。
2. 唯一原词正确的选项的从今年起开始出现，但是比例还是非常的小。在这篇
文章里。只有22题是唯一正确选项题; 23、24 为原词正确选项题，但是3个错误选项也均有原词。
新题型
阅读新题型今年再次变化，考了段落标题题型，和曾经考研英语一的新题型是一样的，难度上也相应有所增加。
拿这篇文章为例，文章一开始就讲述了SF这个人曾经经历一个非常窘迫的境地，跟在次之前富裕的状况截然相反。在社区的帮助下，他开始重拾信心。可以说文章的开头并不是很容易，会让我们觉得本文要讨论什么深刻的人生哲理，但是第一段的最后一句话峰回路转：but eating well on a budget. Here’s his ad vice for economical foodies.原来文章讲的是：如何花钱少，吃的好？所以前面讲的事实上都是废话，即使看不懂也不关紧要。
然后根据每段的细节来总结每段的主旨，那么就需要我们仔细阅读出题段里的每一句话。才能概括总结处中心主旨。如41题
出题段的翻译为：冲动消费是不可取的，所以提前计划好一周的菜单….下面都是诸如此类的话。那么可以看出这段话的主旨是：要做好的饮食计划。所以借助第一题，浏览选项，然后挨个排除，最终答案定在D选项上。
总结：
1. 在做这种题型的时候一定要是注意：文章出自一些外刊，但是经过改变的，
每段的的TS（主旨句）都已经被认为的删去。所以千万不要以为每段的段首或者段尾或者段中转折处就是这段的主旨，从而根据这句话来做题。事实上，供选择的A到G里有很多这三句话里出现过的原词干扰词，这是出题人的挖的种种陷阱之一，不要往里跳！
2. 段落标题题首段不会出题的，因为首段为主旨段，只有先了解主旨我们才
可以做题。根据以往考过的这种题以及样卷来看我，这种题型的文章为之并列结构的指令类文章，也就是文章围绕一个主题展开措施的论述，每一个措施称述一段。这种文章的开头一般都是写罗列措施的背景，然后会有一句话引出罗列的目的，紧接着开始罗列。所以以后再遇到这种文章，我们就看第一个罗列的前面一句话（一般都在第一段的末句），这句话就会
告诉你这篇文章是讲什么的。
3. 选项出现原词的概率是很高的。此篇文章中：41、43、44、45 都出现了1-
2个原词，这些原词在段落里都是核心信息。
2013考研英语阅读真题：考研英语（二）第1篇 In an essay, entitled “Making It in America,” the author Adam Davidson relates a joke from cotton country about just how much a modern textile mill has been automated: The average mill has only two employees today, “a man and a dog. The man is there to feed the dog, and the dog is there to keep the man away from the machines.” Davidson’s article is one of a number of pieces that have recently appeared making the point that the reason we have such stubbornly high unemployment and declining middle-class incomes today is largely because of the big drop in demand because of the Great Recession, but it is also because of the advances in both globalization and the information technology revolution, which are more rapidly than ever replacing labor with machines or foreign workers. In the past, workers with average skills, doing an average job, could earn an average lifestyle. But, today, average is officially over. Being average just won’t earn you what it used to. It can’t when so many more employers have so much more access to so much more above average cheap foreign labor, cheap robotics, cheap software, cheap automation and cheap genius.

2013年10月真题解析 2013年10月高等教育自学考试 全国统一命题考试 英语（二）试卷真题解析 （课程代码00015） 本试卷分为选择题和非选择题两部分，满分100分，考试时间150分钟。 第一部分为选择题。考生必须在“答题卡”上按要求填涂作答。 第二部分为非选择题。 第一部分选择题 一、阅读判断（第1—10题，共10分） 短文后列出10个句子，根据短文内容判断每个句子。A是正确，B是错误，C是文中未提及。 Farms Appear in Cities When you h ear the word “farm”, you may imagine the countryside with cows and crops. But scientists say the farms of the future could be built in tall buildings in some large cities. It may be difficult to believe, but in fact, the technology for growing crops in doors already exists. Farming in the city is already happening. Some vegetables are already grown in greenhouses. Even the scientists at the South Pole research station can enjoy fresh vegetables they grow in their own greenhouse. Experts say indoor farming solves many problems. First, traditional farming takes up a lot of land. Growing crops in tall buildings — called vertical farming（垂直农业）— can solve the problem. Also, fruits and vegetables grown indoors would not face serious threats from insects and weather. Though vertical farms don’t exist yet, experts have created a plan for recycling in such farms. The water from indoor fish ponds would be used to water crops. Gases from crop waste would be used to heat the building. Waste from chicken or pigs would be reused as a source of energy. But experts believe vertical farming is not going to be easy. They say it can be difficult to control climate conditions indoors. Besides, Plants differ in their weather and lighting needs. For example, some plants like warm, sunny weather, but other plants prefer cooler temperatures. That’s not to say these difficulties won’t be overcome —but it will take time. Most experts suggest it may take about 5 to 15 years before the first vertical farms could be created. 【参考译文】 农场出现在城市里（城中农场） 当听到“农场”一词，你可能联想到乡下的母牛和庄稼等等。但科学家说，未来的农场可能会建在一些大城市的高楼里。 此事可能难以置信，可是事实上，在室内种庄稼已经存在了。城市里的农场已经出现，某些蔬菜已经在温室里生长。甚至在南极科考站，科学家们能享用他们在温室里自己栽种的新鲜蔬菜。 据专家们说室内农场可以解决许多问题。首先，传统农场占据大片土地。在高楼里种庄稼（称之为垂直农业）可以解决此问题。再者说，水果和蔬菜室内种植不会受到害虫和气候的威胁。 尽管垂直农场尚未成为现实，但是专家们已经在一些农场创建了再循环计划：把室内养鱼池的水用于浇灌农作物，把来自于农作物的废气用于建筑物的供热，来自于鸡和猪的粪便重新利用作为能源。 但是专家认为垂直农业并不是一件容易的事。他们说，控制室内气候环境是困难的。除此之外，植物对气候和光照需求有差异。例如，一些植物喜好温暖、阳光普照的气候，但另一些植物更喜欢较凉爽的温度。 并不是说这些困难不能克服——但是这将需要花时间。大多数专家指出，建立起第一个垂直农场可能需要五年到十五年的时间。 word “farm” may m ake you think of the countryside.

Average is Over 【点评】 文章来自《纽约时报》，文章名为Average is over。本文主要是讲科技变革对整个社会的工作量、工作人员等的影响。本篇文章难度不大。文章开篇先用一个笑话引出科技的提高直接导致需雇佣的人减少，紧接着进一步指出正是机器替代人工劳动力造成高失业率。然后提出公司员工要想在这种情况下赢得高薪工作，与以往相比，员工不能甘于平庸，而要有所特殊贡献。一方面新技术导致越来越多的工作岗位被取缔，另一方面新技术也创造了许多新的工作机会、新的产品和新的服务，这样的变化要求更多的人受教育，以满足这些工作的需求。最后，作者提出政府应该提出解决如何让美国更多人能够受到高等教育的问题。 除25题为主旨题外，其余均为细节题。考生在做题过程中要注意根据段落指示，具体定位到该段仔细查找，答案不难找到。这里提醒考生的是细节题建议一定先读题干和选项，后确定答案出自原文，不可有主观意识。另外，21题稍微需要考生将第一段和第二段首句两者相互对照进行归纳阅读，得出结论。 Text 2 26. stay in a foreign temporarily 27. should be adopted to meet challenges 28. the freedom to stay and leave 29. with legal tolerance 30. legal or illegal: big mistake
