2015年考研英语(一)阅读理解text4详解

2015年考研英语(一)阅读理解text4详解

2015年考研英语(一)阅读理解text4详解2015年英语(一)的阅读理解Part A部分与2014年相比没有太大改变，考生在考试过程中应继续秉承正确的方法——先读题目，了解题目的要求，再有目的地回到原文中找正确答案。

Text 4 的文章整体来讲不算难，如果对Murdoch (默多克)传媒帝国下属的news of the world (《世界新闻报》)的telephone hacking(电话窃听)丑闻有所了解的话，这篇文章做起来应该是得心应手的，所以多了解背景知识对我们的英语考试有很大帮助。

第36题，According to the first two paragraphs, Elisabeth was upset by_____. 问Elisabeth 因为什么感到生气。

第一段和第二段都是围绕Elisabeth的话展开的，第一段有一个明显的提示词because of，这句话就非常清晰的解释了Elisabeth生气的原因，Integrity had collapsed, she argued, because of a collective acceptance that the only “sorting mechanism”in society should be profit and the market.(诚信崩塌是因为公众都接受这样一个观点：社会的“分拣机制”应该是能盈利的和能做交易的)。

与A选项对应，the consequences of the current sorting mechanism.(现行分拣机制的后果)。

其实就是说Elisabeth主要是因为“dearth of integrity”或“integrity had collapsed”生气，而这正是现行“sorting mechanism”的结果。

第37题，It can be inferred from Paragraph 3 that______. 可以从第3段推断出什么。
