对于任何一门英语考试,真题的重要性都是任何其他练习题和模拟题无可比拟的,真题体现最正统的出题风格,吃透了真题就能把出题人的出题思路摸的八九不离十,才能按照出题人的思路答出高分答案。
而考研英语的全部复习内容和技巧,都可以从真题中衍生出来。
▶真题题型分析表笔者在考研英语的复习中,80%的时间都用在了真题上。
在此不妨随笔者一同分析真题的特点。
题型分值特点复习策略阅读理解 40分提升速度缓慢。
分配大部分复习时间。
写作 30分完型填空 10分做得好的和做得差相差不大,即使不看题直接选答案也不会差太多,是整张试卷最为“鸡肋”的部分。
不用特意复习,分配最少的时间。
新题型 10分对大部分人来说,此题难度不大,且提升较快。
分配时间在完形填空和翻译之间。
翻译 10分较难,但是这部分的提升空间很大。
在三种10分的题型中分配最多的时间。
▶关于背单词的两大误区1、背诵单词就是要能灵活用所有单词从长期英语学习来看,这种看法是对的,但从应试的角度来说,就未必了。
通过真题分析得出,真题考查的词汇层次归纳起来有两种,一是阅读词汇,一是写作词汇,这和我们脑海中的词汇类型也相匹配。
阅读词汇就是我们在阅读过程中,看到就能在脑海中反应出意思的单词,也称被动词汇;而写作词汇则是我们掌握得更深刻的一种,我们在写作或口语表达中能主动地使用它们,也称主动词汇。
在大多数人的“库存”中,阅读词汇量都远远大于写作词汇量,这是因为阅读词汇的积累比写作词汇容易很多:可能一个生词我们见过两三次后再看到就知道是什么意思了,这样它就进入了我们的阅读词汇库;但要把它变成写作词汇,则要对它进行更多主动地记忆,甚至反复进行使用练习。
那么真题又是怎么考查单词的呢?完型填空考句型语法、短语搭配,需要对单词用法和搭配熟悉;阅读理解考查的是句意理解(尤其是长句)、文章大意;翻译考查的是理解句意并有效组织中文语言;写作考核的是有逻辑地组织英语语言。
因此,在应试中,我们并不需要一视同仁的记忆单词书上所有的单词。
凯程考研集训营,为学生引路,为学员服务!第 1 页 共 1 页 深度解析2016考研英语(一)完型填空 2016年考研英语(一)考试已经落下了帷幕,一年的努力与付出终于换来了沉甸甸的果实。
英语一考试难度整体而言与往年持平,沿袭以往保守的出题路线。
下面笔者就英语一的完型填空部分做以下深度解析。
2016考研英语一的完型填空主题是关于“柬埔寨青年的结婚习俗”,内容好理解,题目也适中,文章中没多少高难度词汇,也没有晦涩难懂的长难句。
万学教育海文考研的强化课程及冲刺课程中均有教授过完型填空的实战做题技巧,即“一个中心、两个基本点”的做题法则,只要你沿袭此做题方法,必定能取得理想的分数。
一个中心:一般完型填空每篇文章240-280个词,首段首句通常不设题目。
换句话说,首段首句即文章中心,这也是海文考研的老师给大家提示的做题心法之一。
那么这篇文章的首段首句为:In Cambodia the choice of a spouse is a complex one for the young male.在柬埔寨配偶的选择对于年轻男性而言是一个复杂的事情。
可能会有同学对于Cambodia 这个专有名词不甚了解,其实大可不必担心,我们可以把它理解为“某地”即可。
由此,文章的中心即确定,讲述的是某地男性选择配偶的事情。
两个基本点:英语知识运用不仅考查考生对不同语境中规范的语言要素(包括词汇、表达方式和结构)的掌握程度,语言要素就是考查微观;而且还考查考生对语段特征(如连贯性和一致性等)的辨别能力等,这是考查宏观。
微观和宏观考查这就是完型的命题的两个基本点。
宏观考点:宏观考点常考逻辑关系,比如第7题属于典型的逻辑关系的考点,也是我们授课中跟学生们强调的完型四大逻辑关系的重点之转折关系。
The traditional wedding is a long and colorful affair. Formerly it lasted three days7by the 1980s it more commonly lasted a day and a half.若要判断此空的答案,需要看到前后文的具体含义和逻辑关系。

2016年高考英语课标I卷阅读理解、完形填空精要解析从总体上看,2016年高考英语试卷难度略有提升,过度较为平稳。
试题重点突出,命题思路清晰,重视对思维能力和文化素质的考查,重点考查英语运用能力。
阅读理解与前几年的出题思路一致。
话题贴近学生生活,可读性强。
从体裁上看,稍有变化。
几乎年年出现的应用文今年没有考查。
从题目上来看,细节题居多。
15道阅读题里,1道主旨大意题,1道词义猜测题,2道推理判断题,11道事实细节题。
七选五秉承一贯特色,选用了说明文,结构清晰。
完形填空选自国外网站的一篇文章。
体裁依然是多年的夹叙夹议。
从题目上来看,文章内容看似简单,但选项中“陷阱”重重。
比如第41题应选择C选项traveling,但是很多学生选择了B选项touring,这体现出学生对一些基本词汇的深层含义的掌握是有欠缺的。
维克多英语编辑部认真研究2016年高考英语全国课标I卷,并对阅读理解的每篇文章和完形填空做了详尽的分析,包括语篇的话题、体裁、词数、难度、难点词、搭配、长难句等,并首次运用图式理论从关键词、背景、结构、内容、百科知识的角度分析了语篇,在答案解析部分呈现。

AYou probably know who Marie Curie was, but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson. Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years?Jane Addams (1860-1935)Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community (社区) by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.Rachel Carson (1907-1964)If it weren’t for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world’s lakes and oceans.Sandra Day O’Connor (1930-present)When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator (参议员) and, in 1981, the first woman to join the U.S. Supreme Court. O’Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court.Rosa Parks (1913-2005)On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott. It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil-rights movement. “The only tired I was, was tired of giving in,” said Parks.21. What is Jane Addams noted for in history?A. Her social work.B. Her teaching skills.C. Her efforts to win a prize.D. Her community background.22. What was the reason for O’Connor’s being rejected by the law firm?A. Her lack of proper training in law.B. Her little work experience in court.C. The discrimination against women.D. The poor financial conditions.23. Who made a great contribution to the civil-rights movement in the U.S.?A. Jane Addams.B. Rachel Carson.C. Sandra Day O’Connor.D. Rosa Parks.24. What can we infer about the women mentioned in the text?A. They are highly educated.B. They are truly creative.C. They are pioneers.D. They are peace-lovers.BGrandparents Answer a CallAs a third-generation native of Brownsville, Texas, Mildred Garza never planned to move away. Even when her daughter and son asked her to move to San Antonio to help with their children, she politely refused. Only after a year of friendly discussion did Ms. Garza finally say yes. That was four years ago. Today all three generations regard the move as a success, giving them a closer relationship than they would have had in separate cities.No statistics show the number of grandparents like Garza who are moving closer to adult children and grandchildren. Yet there is evidence suggesting that the trend is growing. Even President Obama’s mother-in-law, Marian Robinson, has agreed to leave Chicago and move into the White House to help care for her granddaughters. According to a study by , 83 percent of the people said Mrs. Robinson’s decision will influence grandparents in the American family. Two-thirds believe more families will follow the example of Obama’s family.“In the 1960s we were all a little wild and couldn’t get away from home far enough or fast enough to prove we could do it on our own,” says Christine Crosby, publisher of Grand, a magazine for grandparents. “We now realize how important family is and how important it is to be near them, espe cially when you’re raising children.”Moving is not for everyone. Almost every grandparent wants to be with his or her grandchildren and is willing to make sacrifices, but sometimes it is wiser to say no and visit frequently instead. Having your grandchildren far away is hard, especially knowing your adult child is struggling, but giving up the life you know may be harder.25. Why was Garza’s move a success?A. It strengthened her family ties.B. It improved her living conditions.C. It enabled her to make more friends.D. It helped her know more new places.26. What was the reaction of the public to Mrs. Robinson’s decision?A. 17% expressed their support for it.B. Few people responded sympathetically.C. 83% believed it had a bad influence.D. The majority thought it was a trend.27. What did Crosby say about people in the 1960s?A. They were unsure of themselves.B. They were eager to raise more children.C. They wanted to live away from their parents.D. They had little respect for their grandparents.28. What does the author suggest the grandparents do in the last paragraph?A. Make decisions in the best interests of their own.B. Ask their children to pay more visits to them.C. Sacrifice for their struggling children.D. Get to know themselves better.CI am Peter Hodes, a volunteer stem cell courier. Since March 2012, I’ve done 89 trips — of those, 51 have been abroad. I have 42 hours to carry stem cells (干细胞) in my little box because I’ve got two ice packs and that’s how long they last. In all, from the time the stem cells are harvested from a donor (捐献者) to the time they can be implanted in the patient, we’ve got 72 hours at most. So I am always conscious of time.I had one trip last year where I was caught by a hurricane in America. I picked up the stem cells in Providence, Rhode Island, and was meant to fly to Washington then back to London. But when I arrived at the check-in desk at Providence, the lady on the desk said: “Well, I’m really sorry, I’ve got some bad news for you —there are no flights from Washington.” So I took my box and put it on the desk and I said: “In this box are some stem cells that are urgently needed for a patient —please, please, you’ve got to get me back to the United Kingdom.” She just dropped everything. She arranged for a flight on a small plane to be held for me, re-routed (改道) me through Newark and got me back to the UK even earlier than originally scheduled.For this courier job, you’re consciously aware that in that box you’ve got something that is potentially going to save somebody’s life.29. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “courier” in Paragraph 1?A. providerB. delivery manC. collectorD. medical doctor30. Why does Peter have to complete his trip within 42 hours?A. He cannot stay away from his job too long.B. The donor can only wait for that long.C. The operation needs that much time.D. The ice won’t last any longer.31. Which flight did the woman put Peter on first?A. To London.B. To Newark.C. To Providence.D. To Washington.DThe meaning of silence varies among cultural groups. Silences may be thoughtful, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness, uneasiness, or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore attempts may be made to fill every gap (间隙) with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person’s needs.Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from oneof these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be implied (暗示) is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection.Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with conflicts among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority.Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patient’s silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the healing (治愈) value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.32. What does the author say about silence in conversations?A. It implies anger.B. It promotes friendship.C. It is culture-specific.D. It is content-based.33. Which of the following people might regard silence as a call for careful thought?A. The Chinese.B. The French.C. The Mexicans.D. The Russians.34. What does the author advise nurses to do about silence?A. Let it continue as the patient pleases.B. Break it while treating patients.C. Evaluate its harm to patients.D. Make use of its healing effects.35. What may be the best title for the text?A. Sound and SilenceB. What It Means to Be SilentC. Silence to Native AmericansD. Speech Is Silver, Silence Is Gold第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
2016年考研英语(二)真题完型全面解析2016届的研究生英语考试已经降下帷幕。
本篇文章主要针对2016届考研英语(二)的完型部分为大家做简要的总结和分析,从而也为2017届的英语二考生提供一些必要的复习准备要点。
今年的完型文章难度及题目难度基本与往年持平。
文章探讨幸福与公司投资之间的关系,主题通俗易懂。
从题型分布上来讲,仍然具备以下特征:(一)从句引导词近年来,完形填空专门测试语法的题目不多,重点在词汇及对上下文的理解上,但我们发现,完形填空一旦考语法,就一定是与定语从句、名词性从句等各类从句引导词有关。
例如:And new research suggest that happiness might influence (1)______ firms work, too.1. [A] why [B] where [C] how [D] when空格(1)显然考查名词性从句中的宾语从句的引导词,且引导词还必须在宾语从句中做状语,修饰work。
根据文章主旨,快乐可能会影响的应该是公司的运营方式,而不是它的运营地点,运营原因或运营时间,因此最恰当的的选项只能是C选项。
因此考生要特别关注如何正确使用从句引导词,并能将其吃透。
(二)固定搭配是词汇考查的重点固定搭配是考研完型中的必考题型,它要求考生对于一些常用的英文惯用表达法进行必要的识记。
要做好这类题,需要有较大的词汇量和词语搭配能力、词语辨析能力,特别是在特定的语境中能灵活运用的能力。
例如:“It surely seems plausible that happy people would be more forward-thinking and creative and (20)______ R&D more than the average,”said one researcher.20.[A] pray for [B] lean towards [C] give away [D] send out此处考察固定搭配。

Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET.(40 points)Text 1France,which prides itself as the global innovator of fashion, has decided its fashion industry haslost an absolute right to define physical beauty for women. Its lawmakers gave preliminaryapproval last week to a law that would make it a crime to employ ultra-thin models on runways.The parliament also a gre ed 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 bylooks that end up impinging on health. That ’s a start. And the ban on ultra-thin models seems togo beyond protecting models from starving themselves to death —as some have done. It tells the fashion industry that it must take responsibility for the signal it sends women, especially teenagegirls, about the social tape-measure they must use to determine their individual worth.The bans, if fully enforced, would suggest to women (and many men) that they should not letothers be arbiters of their beauty. And perhaps faintly, they hint that people should look tointangible qualities like character and intellect rather than dieting their way to size zero orwasp-waist physiques.The French measures, however, rely too much on severe punishment to change a culture that stillregards beauty as skin-deep —and bone-showing. Under the law, using a fashion model that doesnot meet a government-defined index of body mass could result in a $85,000 fine and six monthsin prison.The fashion industry knows it has an inherent problem in focusing on material adornment andidealized body types. In Denmark, the United States, and a few other countries, it is trying to setvoluntary standards for models and fashion images that rely more on peer pressure forenforcement.In contrast to France ’s actions, Denmark ’s fashion industry a gre ed last month on rules and sanctions regarding the age, health, and other characteristics of models. The newly revised DanishFashion 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 tool of enforcement is to deny access for designers and modeling agencies to Copenhagen FashionWeek, which is run by the Danish Fashion Institute. But in general it relies on a name-and-shamemethod 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.[C] Websites about dieting would thrive.[D] The fashion industry would decline.22.The phrase “impinging on ”(Line 2,Para 2) is closest in meaning to[A] heightening the value of.[B] indicating the state of.[C] losing faith in.[D] doing harm to.23.Which of the following is true of the fashion industry?[A] The French measures have already failed.[B] New standards are being set in Denmark.[C] Model are no longer under peer pressure.[D] Its inherent problems are getting worse.24. A designer is most likely to be rejected by CFW for[A] setting a high age threshold for models.[B] caring too much about models ’character.[C] showing little concern for health factors.[D] pursuing perfect physical conditions.25.Which of the following may be the best title of the text?[A] The Gre at Threats to the Fashion Industry.[B] Just Another Round of Struggle for Beauty.[C] A Dilemma for the Starving Models in France.[D] A Challenge to the Fashion Industry ’s Body Ideals.Text 2For the first time in history more people live in towns than in the country. In Britain this has had a curious result. While polls show Britons rate “the countryside ”alongside the royal family, Shakespeare and the National Health Service (NHS) as what makes them proudest of their country,this has limited political support.A century ago Octavia Hill launched the National Trust not to rescue stylish houses but to save“the beauty of natural places for everyone forever. ”It was specifically to provide city dwellerswith spaces for leisure where they could experience “a refreshing air. ”Hill ’s pressure later ledto the creation of national parks and gre en belts. They don ’t make countryside any more, and every year concrete consumes more of it. It needs constant guardianship.At the next election none of the big parties seem likely to endorse this sentiment. TheConservatives ’planning reform explicitly gives rural development priority over conservation,even authorizing “off-plan ”building where local people might object. The concept ofsustainable development has been defined as profitable. Labour likewise wants to discontinuelocal planning where councils oppose development. The Liberal Democrats are silent. Only Ukip,sensing its chance, has sided with those pleading for a more considered approach to using greenland. Its Campaign to Protect Rural England struck terror into many local Consecutive parties.The sensible place to build new houses, factories and offices is where people are, in cities andtowns where infrastructure is in place. The London agents Stirling Ackroyd recently identifiedenough sites for half a million houses in the London are alone, with no intrusion on gre en bet. What is true of London is even truer of the provinces.The idea that “housing crisis ”equals “concreted meadows ”is pure lobby talk. The issue is notthe need for more houses but, as always, where to put them. Under lobby pressure, GeorgeOsborne favours rural new-build against urban renovation and renewal. He favours out-of-townshopping sites against high streets. This is not a free market but a biased one. Rural towns andvillages have grown and will always grow. They do so best where building sticks to their edgesand respects their character. We do not ruin urban conservation areas. Why ruin rural ones?Development should be planned, not let rip. After the Netherlands, Britain is Europe ’s most crowded country. Half a century of town and country planning has enabled it to retain an enviablerural coherence, while still permitting low-density urban living. There is no doubt of thealternative —the corrupted landscapes of southern Portugal, Spain or Ireland. Avoiding this ratherthan promoting it should unite the left and right of the political spectrum.26.Britain ’s public sentiment about the countryside[A] didn ’t start till the Shakespearean age.[B] has brought much benefit to the NHS.[C] is fully backed by the royal family.[D] is not well reflected in politics.27.According to Paragraph 2, the achievements of the National Trust are now be[A] gradually destroyed.[B] effectively reinforced.[C] largely overshadowed.[D] properly protected.28.Which of the following can be inferred from Paragraph 3?[A] Labour is under attack for opposing development.[B] The Conservatives may abandon “off-plan ”building.[C] The Liberal Democrats are losing political influence.[D] Ukip may gain from its support for rural conservation.29.The author holds that George Osborne ’s preference[A] highlights his firm stand against lobby pressure.[B] shows his disregard for the character of rural areas.[C] stresses the necessity f easing the housing crisis.[D] reveals a strong prejudice against urban areas.30.In the last paragraph, the author shows his appreciation of\[A] the size of population in Britain.[B] the political life in today ’s Britain.[C] the enviable urban lifestyle in Britain.[D] the town-and-country planning in Britain.Text 3“There is one and only one social responsibility of businesses, ”Wrote Milton Friedman, a Nobel prize-winning economist, “That is,to use its resources and engage in activities designed to increase its profit ”. But even if you accept Firedman ’s premise and regard corporate social responsibility (CSR) policies as waste of shareholders ’money, things may not be absolutelyclear-cut. New research suggest the CSR may create monetary value for companies-at least whenthey are prosecuted for corruption.The largest firms in America and Britain together spend more than $15 billion a year onCSR,according to an estimate by EPG, a consulting firm.This could add value to their businesses inthree ways. First, consumers may take CSR spending as a “signal ”that a company ’s products are of high quality. Second, customers may be willing to buy a company ’s products as an indirect way to donate to the good causes it helps.And third, through a more diffuse “halo effect, ”whereby its good deeds earn it gre ater consideration from consumers and others.Previous studies on CSR have had trouble differentiating these effects bec ause consumers can be affected by all three. A recent study attempts to separate them by looking at bribery prosecutionsunder America ’s Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA). It argues that since prosecutors do notconsume a company ’s products as part of their investigations, they could be influenced only bythe halo effect.The study found that, among prosecuted firms, those with the most comprehensive CSRprogrammes tended to get more lenient penalties. Their analysis ruled out the possibility that itwas firms ’political influence, rather than their CSR stand, that accounted for the leniency:Companies that contributed more to political campaigns did not receive lower fines.In all, the study concludes that whereas prosecutors should only evaluate a case based on itsmerits, they do seem to be influenced by a company ’s record in CSR. “We estimate that either eliminating a substantial labour-rights concern, such as child labour, or increasing corporategiving by about 20% results in fines that generally are 40% lower than the typical punishment for briding foreign officials, ”says one researcher.Researchers admit that their study does not answer the question of how much businesses ought to spend on CSR. Nor does it reveal how much companies are banking on the halo effect, rather than the other possible benefits, when they decide their do-gooding policies. But at least they have demonstrated that when companies get into trouble with the law, evidence of good character can win them a less costly punishment.31. The author views Milton Friedman ’s statement about CSR with[A] tolerance[B] skepticism[C] uncertainty[D] approval32.According to Paragraph 2, CSR helps a company by[A] winning trust from consumers.[B] guarding it against malpractices.[C] protecting it from being defamed.[D] raising the quality of its products.33. The expression “more lenient ”(Line 2, Para. 4) is closest in meaning to[A] more effective[B] less controversial[C] less severe[D] more lasting34.When prosecutors evaluate a case, a company ’s CSR record[A] has an impact on their decision.[B] comes across as reliable evidence.[C] increases the chance of being penalized.[D] constitutes part of the investigation.35.Which of the following is true of CSR, according to the last paragraph?[A] Its negative effects on businesses are often overlooked.[B] The necessary amount of companies ’spending on it is unknown.[C] Companies ’financial capacity for it has been overestimated.[D] It has brought much benefit to the banking industry.Text 4There will eventually come a day when The New York Times ceases to publish stories on newsprint. Exactly when that day will be is a matter of debate. “Sometime in the future ,”the paper ’s publisher said back in 2010.Nostalgia for ink on paper and the rustle of pages aside ,there ’s plenty of incentive to ditch print.The infrastructure required to make a physical newspaper-printing presses, delivery trucks —isn ’t just expensive; it ’s excessive at a time when online-only competitors don ’t have the same setof financial constraints. Readers are migrating away from print anyway. And though print ad salesstill dwarf their online and mobile counterparts, revenue from print is still declining.Overhead may be high and circulation lower, but rushing to eliminate its print edition would be amistake, says BuzzFeed CEO Jonah Peretti.Peretti says the Times should ’t waste time getting out of the print business, but only if they goabout doing it the right way. “Figuring out a way to accelerate that transition would make sensefor them, ”he said, “but if you discontinue it, you ’re going to have your most loyal customersreally upset with you. ”Sometimes that ’s worth making a change anyway. Peretti gives the example of Netflixdiscontinuing its DVD-mailing service to focus on streaming. “It was seen as a blunder, ”he said. The move turned out to be foresighted. And if Peretti were in charge at the Times? “I wouldn ’t pick a year to end print, ”he said. “I would raise prices and make it into more of a legacyproduct. ”The most loyal customers would still get the product they favor, the idea goes, and they ’d feel like they were helping sustain the quality of something they believe in. “So if you ’re overpaying for print, you could feel like you were helping, ”Peretti said. “Then increase it at a higher rate each year and essentially try to generate additional revenue. ”In other words, if you ’re going to make a print product, make it for the people who are already obsessed with it. Which may be whatthe Times is doing already. Getting the print edition seven days a week costs nearly $500 a year—more than twice as mush as a digital-only subscription.“It ’s a really hard thing to do and it ’s a tremendous luxury that BuzzFeed doesn ’t have a legacy business, ”Peretti remarked. “But we ’r e going to have questions like that where we have thingswe ’re doing that don ’t make sense when the market changes and the world changes. In those situations, it ’s better to be more ag gre ssive than less aggressive. ”36.The New York Times is considering ending its print edition partly due[A] the high cost of operation.[B] the pressure from its investors.[C] the complaints from its readers.[D] the increasing online ad sales.37. Peretti suggests that, in face of the present situation, the Times should[A] seek new sources of readership.[B] end the print edition for good.[C] aim for efficient management.[D] make strategic adjustments.38.It can be inferred from Paragraphs 5 and 6 that a “legacy product ”[A] helps restore the glory of former times.[B] is meant for the most loyal customers.[C] will have the cost of printing reduced.[D] expands the popularity of the paper.39.Peretti believes that, in a changing world.[A] legacy businesses are bec oming outdated.[B] cautiousness facilitates problem-solving.[C] ag gre ssiveness better meets challenges.[D] traditional luxuries can stay unaffected.40.Which of the following would be the best title of the text?[A] Shift to Online Newspapers All at Once[B] Cherish the Newspaper Still in Your Hand[C] Make Your Print Newspaper a Luxury Good[D] Keep Your Newspapers Forever in FashionPart BDirections: Read the following text and answer the questions by choosing the most suitable subheading from the A-G for each of the numbered paragraph (41-45). There are two extra subheadings. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET.(10 points)[A] Create a new image of yourself[B] Have confidence in yourself[C] Decide if the time is right[D] Understood the context[E] Work with professionals[F] Make it efficient[G] Know your goalsNo matter how formal or informal the work environment, the way you present yourself has animpact. This is especially true in first impressions. According to research from Princeton University,people assess your competence, trustworthiness, and like ability in just a tenth of a second, solelybased on the way you look.The difference between today ’s workplace and the “dress for success ”era is that the range of options is so much broader, Norms have evolved and fragmented. In some settings, red sneakersor dress T-shirts can convey status; in others not so much. Plus, whatever image we present ismagnified by social-media services like decade or two ago. Millennials, it seems, face the paradoxof being the least formal generation yet the most conscious of style and personal branding. It canbe confusing.So how do we navigate this? How do we know when to invest in an upgrade? And what ’s the best way to pull off one that enhances our goals? Here are some tips:41As an executive coach, I ’ve seen image upgrades be particularly helpful during transitions--when looking for a new job, stepping into a new or more public role, or changing workenvironments. If you ’re in a period of change or just feeling stuck and in a rut, now may be agood time. If you ’re not sure, ask for honest feedback from trusted friends, colleagues, and professionals. Look for cues about how others perceive you. Maybe there ’s no need for an upgrade and that ’s OK.42Get clear on what impact you ’re hoping to have . Are you looking to refresh your image or pivotit?For one person, the goal may be to be taken more seriously and enhance their professionalimage. For another, it may be to be perceived as more approachable, or more modern and stylish.For someone moving from finance to advertising, maybe they want to look more “SoHo. ”(It ’s OK to use characterizations like that.)43Look at your work environment like an anthropologist. What are the norms of your environment? What convey status? Who are your most important audiences? How do the peopleyou respect and look up to present themselves? The better you understand the cultural context,the more control you can have over your impact.44Enlist the support of professionals and share with them your goals and context. Hire a personalstylist, or use the free styling service of a store like J.Crew. Try a hair stylist instead of a barber.Work with a professional photographer instead of your spouse or friend. It ’s not as expensive as you might think.45The point of a style upgrade isn ’t to bec ome more vain or to spend more time fussing over whatto wear. Instead, use it as an opportunity to reduce decision fatigue . Pick a standard work uniformor a few go-to options. Buy all your clothes at once with a stylist instead of shopping alone, onearticle of clothing at a time.Part CDirections: Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments intoChinese. Your translation should be written neatly on the ANSWER SHEET.(10 points)Mental health is our birthright. (46)We don ’t have to learn how to be mentally healthy; it is builtinto us in the same way that our bodies know how to heal a cut or mend a broken bone.Mentalhealth can ’t be learned, only reawakened. It is like the immune system of the body, which understress or through lack of nutrition of exercise can be weakened, but which never leaves us. Whenwe don ’t understand the value of mental health and we don ’t know how to gain access to it, mental health will remain hidden from us, (47)Our mental health doesn ’t really go anywhere; like the sun behind a cloud, it can be temporarily hidden from view, but it is fully capable of beingrestored in an instant.Mental health is the seed that contains self-esteem —confidence in ourselves and an ability to trust in our common sense. It allows us to have perspective on our lives —the ability to not take ourselves too seriously, to laugh at ourselves, to see the bigger picture, and to see that things willwork out. It ’s a from of innate or unlearned optimism. (48)Mental health allows us to view otherswith sympathy if they are having troubles, with kindness of they are in pain, and withunconditional love no matter who they are. Mental health is the source of creativity for solvingproblems, resolving conflict, making our surroundings more beautiful, managing our home life, orcoming up with a creative business idea or invention to make our lives easier. It gives us patiencefor ourselves and toward others as well as patience while driving, catching a fish, working on ourcar, or raising a child. It allows us to see the beauty that surrounds us each moment in nature, inculture, in the flow of our daily lives.(49)Although mental health is the cure-all for living our lives, it is perfectly ordinary as you will seethat it has been there to direct you through all your difficult decisions. It has been available evenin the most mundane of life situations to show you right from wrong, good from bad, friend fromfoe. Mental health has commonly been called conscience, instinct, wisdom, common sense, or theinner voice. We think of it simply as a healthy and helpful flow of intelligent thought. (50)As you will come to see, knowing that mental health is always available and knowing to trust it allow us to slow down to the moment and live life happily.Section III WritingDirections:Write an essay of 160~200 words based on the following drawing.

深度解析2016考研英语(二)完型考研英语对考研学子的重要性不言而喻,2016考研笔试已经结束。
整体来看,凯程教育张老师认为,命题形式常规,未曾出现很大的波折。
但个别细节的方面还是稳中有变,在整体一致的情况下,个体可以灵活些。
下面张老师就对英语(二)完型题进行点评。
2016英语二的完形填空文章来源于Harvard Business Review《哈佛商业评论》,原文的标题为Companies In Happy Cities Invest More For The Long Term,发表时间是:2015年10月6日。
文章中没有出现太多高难度词汇,个别题目选项干扰性较强,整体难度不大。
首先根据该文章首句,我们可以初步断定文章中心:Happy people work differently. They’re more productive, more creative, and willing to takegreater risks.这两句主要讲述的是快乐的人工作效率更高,更有创造力,愿意承担风险,奠定了文章的基调。
其中第4题正确选项optimism(乐观),11题正确选项desirable(可取的;令人满意的)可以通过主题线索进行判定。
本文考查了以下三大题型:搭配题,词义题,逻辑题。
1、搭配题(考查题目:5,13,20)第一类为成分搭配:如第5题:空格处的内容和the way companies invested构成动宾搭配。
选项中echo(回声;回荡)、miss(思念)、spoil(溺爱)、change(改变),所以只有change选项可以和the way companies invested构成通顺语义。
第二类为固定搭配:如第20题:A选项pray for意为“为……祈祷”,B选项lean towards意为“向……倾斜”,C选项give away意为“泄露;失去;赠送”,D选项send out意为“发送,发出”。

2016年考研英语(一)真题完型全面解析2016届的研究生英语考试已经降下帷幕。
本篇文章主要针对2016届考研英语一的完型部分为大家做简要的总结和分析,从而也为2017届的英语一考生提供一些必要的复习准备要点。
今年的完型文章难度及题目难度总体来说并不难。
文章探讨的是柬埔寨的年轻人谈婚论嫁,结婚以及离婚的风俗习惯和社会现实。
主题接近年轻人的生活,便于理解。
而题型分布上,仍然具备以下特征:(一)从句引导词近年来,完形填空专门测试语法的题目不多,重点在词汇及对上下文的理解上,但我们发现,完形填空一旦考语法,就一定是与定语从句、名词性从句等各类从句引导词有关。
例如:Each spouse retains (16) ____ property he or she (17) _____into the marriage, and jointly-acquired property is (18) _____equally.16. [A] wherever [B] however [C] whenever [D] whatever空格(16)显然考查名词性从句中的宾语从句的引导词,且引导词还必须修饰其后面的名词property,因此正确的选项只能是D选项。
因此考生要特别关注如何正确使用从句引导词,并能将其吃透。
(二)在上下文中的认词、辨词能力是词汇考查的重点对词汇的测试在研究生入学英语考试中应该说是无处不在的,它贯穿考卷的各个部分。
在完形填空题中重点考查考生在上下文中认词和辨词的能力。
近年来完形填空所设置的选项要求考生在掌握一定词汇量的基础上,通过大量阅读并具有一定的语感才能区分正确与错误。
测试词汇引申含义的情况也越来越多。
例如:... and (10)____ a candle around a circle of happily married and respected couples to bless the (11)_____.11. [A] meeting [B] association [C] collection [D] union空格需要填入一个名词来形容新婚夫妇的结合,meeting指相互的会面,association更倾向于社团,协会,collection指收集,union指彼此结合成一体的联盟。
2016考研英语真题解析:完形填空终于看懂了2016考研英语一的完形填空主题是关于“柬埔寨青年的结婚习俗”,内容好理解,题目也很简单,如果有同学最后不做而靠蒙的话,可就有点可惜了!下面跨考教育英语教研室孟老师以2016年真题为例,为考生详细解析完形填空:Directions: Read the following text. Choose the best word(s) for each numbered blank and mark [A], [B], [C] or [D] on ANSWER SHEET 1. (10 points)In Cambodia, the choice of a spouse is a complex one for the young male.

[标准答案] [D]as well as[考点分析] 本题考察逻辑关系[选项分析] 因为考察逻辑关系,所以需要我们先对填空前后的原文信息做定位分析:文章身处大环境not only…..but also之中,这是一个明显的并列关系,表示“不仅……而且……”该空与前一句“his parents and his friends”也是并列关系,表示“与他本人以及伴侣的父母朋友相关”所以答案只能是D. as well as.A. by way of通过B. with regard to 关于C. on behalf of 代表2. [标准答案] [A] decide on[考点分析] 上下文语义[选项分析] 根据该句的主语a young man与宾语a likely spouse的关系,答案只能是A. decide on 决定。
表示自己决定自己的对象。
B. provide for 为……提供准备C. compete with 与……竞争D. adapt to适用3. [标准答案] [B]arrange[考点分析] 上下文语义及动词辨析[选项分析] 该句意思为,他可以自己选择自己中意的伴侣并让父母_____相关事务。
四个选项中,A. close 关闭C renew 更新;恢复D postpone“推迟”,语义不正确,只有B arrange 安排是符合语境。
4. [标准答案] [A]In theory[考点分析] 上下文语义[选项分析]逻辑判断题。
主要是看前后两句的含义,前面是说“他可以自己选择自己中意的伴侣并让父母安排相关事务,或者几乎不参与,完全让父母选择自己的对象。
”空格后面说“女方可以拒绝她父母所选择的对象。
”这两句之间没有举例说明的关系,且有一个may,更证明A. In theory的正确性。
而其他选项B. Above all最重要的是,C. In time 准时D. For example举例,均不符合题意。
5. [标准答案] [C]After[考点分析] 上下文语义[选项分析]根据下文“______a spouse has been selected, each family investigates the other……”知道,只有对象选择好后,父母才会去调查研究对方的背景。
所以只有after才对。
其他选项A. Unless 除非,否则B. Lest 以免,唯恐D. Although 尽管都不符合题意。
6.[标准答案] [A]into[考点分析] 上下文语义及介词词义辨析[选项分析] 这里主要是看marry与相关介词的固定搭配。
这里marry into就是指嫁到,而其他选项均没有这层含义。
7. [标准答案] [C]but[考点分析] 逻辑关系题[选项分析]根据上文,说传统的婚礼时间跨度很长,但是到了1980s, 婚礼只持续一天半。
所以与前文发生转变。
因此要选择but转折关系。
8.[标准答案] [C]recite[考点分析] 上下文语义及动词词义辨析[选项分析]空格处需要填一个动词,和后面的prayers of blessing所搭配,C选项recite 为背诵的意思,与所给短语搭配最为合理,译为“为祈祷者做祈福”。
9.[标准答案] [D]tying[考点分析] 上下文语义及动词词义辨析[选项分析] 本题需要根据上下文语义分析,空格处需要搭配后文“棉花线头”,纵观四个选项[A]折叠[B]堆积 [C]包裹 [D]系上,根据选项含义,只有D和后文的“棉花线头”搭配最为合理。
10.[标准答案] [A]passing[考点分析] 上下文语义及动词词义辨析[选项分析] 本题根据选项[A]传递[B]点亮 [C]隐藏 [D]服务,原文空格需要填写一个动词与后文“around a circle”来搭配,译为“将蜡烛传一圈”,故[A]传递为正确选项。
11.[标准答案] [D]union[考点分析] 名词词义辨析[选项分析] 本题根据选项[A]协会,社团[B]会议,会面 [C]集合 [D]结合。
