考研英语阅读(15篇)考研英语阅读(15篇)考研英语阅读1考研英语的复习过程中,单纯的背单词和看书是远远不够的,真题的重要性不言而喻,英语一83分学姐手把手教你做真题。
单词两个月内最好看完,每天背单词的时候也看看长难句,一天看几句就好,然后单词背完就要直接上手真题了,真题从97年到16年的就好了,买的是张剑版的黄皮书,分为基础版(97到04),珍藏版(05到12),精华版(13到16),貌似是这几个版本,到网上搜,反正97到16年的试题全买过来……反复做,我做了7,8遍吧,网上也有很多英语高分的经验,你可以搜搜综合下,大部分都在说做真题的经验,真题做透就够了…下面说说真题阅读的做法…第一遍:第一遍,从97年做到11年(剩下的5套卷子考试前2个月再做),因为真题要反复做,所以前几遍都是把自己的答案写在一张A4纸上,第一遍也就是让自己熟悉下真题的感觉,虐虐自己知道英语真题的大概难度,只做阅读理解,新题型完形填空啥的也不要忙着做,做完看看答案,错了几个在草稿纸上记下来就好了,也不需要研究哪里错了为什么会错…第一遍很快吧因为不需要仔细研究,97到11年,14份的试卷,一天一份的话,半个月能做完吧,偷个懒一个月肯定能做完吧(第一遍作用就是练练手找到以前做题的感觉,千万不要记答案,分析答案…)第二遍:第二遍是重点…你回头再从97年做起会发现答案是记不住的,还会错很多,甚至错的还不一样,以前对的现在错了,上次错的现在对了,正常。
第二遍一份卷子大概要4,5天才能完成吧,比如第一天你做完了,第二天从第一篇文章开始从头看,不会的单词全部记下来到自己的单词本子上,最好是专门记真题单词的本子,包括题目,选项里面不会的单词,虽然黄皮书上有解释,但大都不全,甚至给的不是句子里的意思,这个工程还是挺大的,一天两篇就可以了…这一遍也不需要研究句子和答案啥的,只不过记单词中除了自己买的单词大本,还要加入真题单词的记忆了,考研不止,单词不息,单词反复背……第二遍就40天来天能完成吧,最多也就两个月(时间都是宽裕的,能提前完成点最好)…第三遍:第三遍自然是分析句子了,这时候以前看的长难句和单词就用到了,做完以后一个句子一个句子的看(当然包括题目和选项),分析下句子看看自己能不能看懂,看不懂的就要好好分析了,写在本子上也可以,我当时是直接看的,用铅笔画画句子成分啥的,如果单词记得够好的话,这一遍应该也会很快吧,1个多月左右……第四遍:前三遍已经用了4个月左右了,后面就要快一点了,第四遍才是最痛苦的,通篇翻译,写在纸上很潦草都没关系,很偷懒的话就在心里翻译下再看看译文吧…我只坚持了一半,从97年翻译到了04年好像,其他的就是刷一遍真题,在心里扫一扫有没有翻译太不通的句子,有没有忘掉的单词啥的…这一遍挺痛苦的,也不要全部都翻译吧,能翻译6,7套试卷知道感觉就好了,不过好处还挺多的,这部分做的好,英语的翻译部分就会简单很多,这部分看你个人时间,时间剩下还多可以多翻译几套试卷。
Passage One (Clinton Is Right)President Clinton\ decision on Apr.8 to send Chinese Premier Zhu Rongji packing without an agreement on China's entry into the World Trade Organization seemed to be a massive miscalculation. The President took a drubbing from much of the press, which had breathlessly reported that a deal was in the bag. The Cabinet and Whit House still appeared divided, and business leaders were characterized as furious over the lost opportunity. Zhu chiirged (hat Clinton lacked .^thc courage” to reach an accord・ And when Clinton later telephoned the angry Zhu to pledge a renewed effort at negotiations, the gesture was widely portrayed as a flip-flop.In fact Clinton made the right decision in holding out for a better WTO deal. A lot more horse trading is needed before a final agreement can be reached・ And without the Administration^ goal of a "bullet-proof agreement” that business lobbyists can enthusiastically sell to a Republican Congress, the whole process will end up in partisan acrimony that could harm relations with China for years.THE HARD PART. Miiny business lobbyists, while disappointed that the deal was not closed, agree that better terms can still be had. And Treasury Secretary Robert E・Rubin. National Economic Council Director Gene B. Sperling, Commerce Secretary William M. Daley, and top trade negotiator Charlene Barshefsky all advised Clinton that while the Chinese had made a remarkable number of concessions, •Ue're not there yet/ according to senior officials. Negotiating with Zhu over the remaining issues may be the easy part. Although Clinton can signal U.S. approval for China's entry into the WTO himself he needs Congress to grant Beijing permanent most-favored・nalio!)status as part of a broad trade accord・ Andthe temptation for meddling on Capital Hill may prove over-whelming. Zhu had barely landed before Senate Majority Leader Trent Loll (R-Miss) declared himself skeptical that China deserved entry into the WTO. And Senators Jesse A. Helms (R-N.C.) and Emest E Hollings (D-S. C.) promised to intrixluce a bill requiring congressional approval of any deal.The hidden message from these three textile-state Southerners: Get more protection for the U. S. clothing industry. Hoping to smooth the way, the Administration tried, but failed, to budge Zhu on textiles・Also left in the lurch: Wall Street, Hollywood, and Detroit・Zhu refused to open up much of the lucrative Chinese securities market and insisted on ^cultural'' restrictions on American movies and music. He also blocked cflorts to allow U. S. auto makers to provide fleet Gnancing・BIG JOB. Already, business lobbyists are blanketing Capitol Hill to presale any eventual agreement, but what they've heard so far isn't cncouraging. Rq)ublicans, including Lott, say that "the time just isn't right*' for the deal. Translation: We're determined to make it look as if Clinton has capitulated to (he Chinese and is ignoring human, religious, and labor rights violations; the theft of nuclear-weapons technology; and the sale of missile parts to America's enemies・ Beijing's fierce critics within the Democratic Party, such as Senator Paul D. Wellstone of Minnesota and House Minority leader Richard A. Gephardt of Missouri, won't help, either. Just how tough the lobbying job on Capitol Hill will be become clear on Apr. 20. when Rubin lectured 19chicf executives on the need to discipline their Republican allies. With business and the White House still trading charges over who is responsible for the defeat of fasbtrack trade negotiating legislation in 1997, working together won't be easy. And Republicans- with a winky that they Mleventually embrace China's entty into the WTO as a favor to Corporate America. Though not long before tliey torture Clinton. But Zhu is out on a limb, and if Congress overdoes the criticism, he may be forced by domestic critics to renege・ Business must make this much dear to both its GOP allies and the Whil House: This historic deal is too important to risk losing lo any more partisan squabbling 1 ・ The main idea of this passage is(A|.

「小说精读」海明威《一个干净明亮的地方》附阅读理解试题及答案编者寄语1932年,海明威提出了著名的“冰山原则”。
他以“冰山”为喻,认为作者只应描写“冰山”露出水面的部分,水下的部分应该通过文本的提示让读者去想像补充。
他说:“冰山在海里移动,之所以庄严雄伟,是因为只有八分之一露出水面。
”他的这篇小说鲜明地体现了这一创作理论,同时也展现了海明威的独特美感:朴素简洁的文字、流畅自然的叙述、凝练含蓄的意境、耐人寻味的象征手法、深刻的寓意以及对生命的深沉思考。
文本研读(注:>>>处为文章精析)一个干净明亮的地方①作者:[美]海明威时间很晚了,大家都离开了这咖啡馆,只有一个老人还坐在树叶挡住灯光的阴影里。
白天里,街上尽是尘埃,到得晚上,露水压住了尘埃,这老人就喜欢坐得很晚,因为他是个聋子,现在是夜里,十分寂静,他感觉得到跟白天有所不同。
咖啡馆内的两个侍者知道老人有点儿醉了,虽然他是个好主顾,他们可知道如果他喝得太醉了,会不付账就走,所以他们一直在留神他。
>>>留神他的原因,是因为他“喝得太醉了,会不付账就走”,侍者只关心能不能付账。
“上星期他想自杀来着,”一个侍者说。
“为什么?”“他绝望啦。
”“干吗绝望?”“没来由。
”“你怎么知道没来由?”“他有很多钱。
”>>>对话简短真实,使情节叙述更加简洁集中。
在对话中塑造了老人和侍者的形象:老人是绝望的;侍者金钱至上,认为金钱可以解决任何问题。
图片他们一起坐在咖啡馆大门边墙根里的一张桌子旁,眼睛望着露台,那儿的桌子全都空无一人,只有那老人坐在随风轻轻飘拂的树叶的阴影里。
老人坐在阴影里,用杯子敲敲茶托。
那个年纪较轻的侍者走到他身边。
“你要什么?”老人朝他看看。
“再来杯白兰地,”他说。
“你会喝醉的,”侍者说。
老人朝他看了一眼。
侍者走开了。
“他会通宵待在这里,”他对他的同事说。
“我现在很困。
我从没在三点前上床过。
他该在上星期就自杀算了。
军号声声阅读理解答案军号声声阅读理解答案 1(1)“军号一响,那士气就鼓起来了,战士们就往前猛冲。
在冲锋号的鼓动下,不久就冲上了阵地,消灭了敌人,我军胜利了。
”我刚到村口,就被这位满面红光的老人充满激情的话语吸引了过去,他有八十多岁的样子,站立都不稳,可话语声还很洪亮。
周围那几个和他年纪相仿的老人,都很麻木的样子,任他自言自语,谁也没有接这个话茬。
(2)我们全家搬走这么多年后,我突然生出回来看看的念头,没想到在村口遇到的第一个人竟然是他,他对那把铜号还是那么有感情。
(3)小时候,我对这把铜号是很羡慕的。
不能亲手摸一摸、仔细看一看,总感到很遗憾。
(4)他的这把铜号,其实是有破损的,喇叭口处残缺一块,从这个地方向里还有一道裂纹。
他每天都悉心呵护着,用一块纱布仔细擦拭,特别是到破损处时,会格外轻。
(5)擦完后,他就把铜号横过来,在眼前轻轻转动着,转完一圈,看擦得行了,就抬起头来,郑重地用右手握起来,举到眼前,右眼对铜号嘴儿认真看去,然后挪到左眼前,右眼眯起来,用左眼看一会儿,然后才慢慢放到自己嘴唇前。
我们认为他就要吹响这把铜号了,可他总是让铜号和嘴唇似接触又不接触的,最终也没有吹响。
(6)我们都很失望,几乎异口同声地发出失望的长叹:“唉——”(7)这时,他才会转过头来,看我们一眼:“怎么,想看看?”(8)我们凑上前去。
他把铜号在我们眼前晃了晃,然后陷入沉思,轻轻地说:“我的战友正吹着冲锋号,敌人的炮弹就打过来。
”停一停,喉结滚动了几下,又接着说:“他就牺牲了,铜号也炸成了这个样子。
”他轻轻地抚摸着,眼中有些光亮闪动着。
他神情怔怔的。
“战友牺牲后,这把号就再也没有吹响过,但其实它是整天响着的。
”说到这里,他会把铜号的喇叭口放在耳朵边,认真倾听。
不一会儿,左脚就开始一点一点的,好似铜号真的响了,他是在配合着那节奏似的。
过了半天,他把那已经破损的喇叭口伸向我们:“你们听,声音真响亮。
”(9)我第一个凑上前去,歪着头,让自己的耳孔尽量对准铜号,仔细地听着。

我想找到你阅读理解答案 18分我想找到你人们常说“少年不识愁滋味”,然而16岁的我,心中总有挥之不去的忧愁。
由于长期疏于学业,我的成绩一直在低处徘徊。
尽管在众人面前我总是故作坦然,但心里却有难言的苦涩。
我想,我不像其他同学那样聪明!然而,那一堂极其普通的美术课,却无意中颠覆了我对自己的认识。
那堂美术欣赏课,讲的是法国印象派画家莫奈。
周五,又是下午第一节。
很多同学都埋着头,用美术课本遮掩因犯困而迷糊的眼神。
A夏日的午热混杂着少年的汗味弥漫在教室里;窗外的老柳树似乎懒得再摇曳,蝉儿却很高调地重复着昨天的老歌;远处传来繁忙的市音,隐隐约约,嘈嘈杂杂……也许只是为了打破昏昏欲睡的沉闷,年轻的美术老师说:“我请一位同学谈谈对这幅画的感受。
这样吧,姚远同学,你来说说。
”我没想到,被喊中的人是自己,迟迟疑疑地站起来。
周围有窃窃的笑声与私语。
B我的心,因为那些轻蔑的话语而猛烈地跳动,手不自觉地攥紧了。
我真想冲那些自以为是的同学说一句:住嘴!可是,我什么也说不出来,只是下意识地低头,再低头,想把自己滚烫的脸,埋进深深的臂弯。
我当时的样子,一定很窘迫、很无助。
美术老师轻轻地走到我旁边:“姚远同学,是不是不舒服?”老师侧着脸,关切地看着我。
我摇摇头,双手很奇怪地卷着书角,然后展开,再卷起,好像一点点铺排着内心的局促、不安……老师帮我把书角展平,指着那幅画说:“你好好看看,感觉到了什么?”是那幅莫奈的《睡莲》:水波粼粼,睡莲的叶子或聚或散,花朵像暗红的、摇曳的火焰,热烈而又含蓄。
看似随意的柔美线条,捕捉住了水面似真似幻的光和影。
看着那画,我心里竟有一种隐隐的感动。
沉默良久,我听见自己用极不确定的语气说:“画家好像是想表现……温和、平静、美丽的大自然。
”只是几个字而已,美术老师却很欣赏地说:“说得好!莫奈的画,总是善于捕捉大自然的美丽。
”她轻轻地按了按我的肩膀:“你挺有悟性的。
这幅画,藏于法国奥赛博物馆,希望有一天,你能去亲眼看一看。
中考语文五套议论文阅读理解题(附答案)(一)阅读下面的文字,完成16-18题(8分)读书重在选择潘裕民①英国作家阿瑟·柯南道尔曾说过:“漫无目标,无书不读的人,他们的知识是很难精湛的。
”可见,读书一定要有选择。
②读书要有所选择,这在今天显得尤为重要。
也许有人会说,博览群书被古人提倡,现在我们为什么非选择不可?我们知道,西潮东渐以前,中国有的学者曾有“读尽天下可读书”的抱负。
但是,今天的博览群书,和古人的博览群书有很大差别。
古时书少,很多书是以诗词、文言文的形式写下来的,言简意赅。
即便是古代散文,篇幅也不是很长,博览群书比较容易。
而在如今这个知识大爆炸的时代,书太多,各类图书让人眼花缭乱,各种读本蜂拥而至,长篇巨制铺天盖地,我们只能选择自己最想读或必须读的书来阅读。
③当代著名学者钱钟书一生读书无数。
一次,他到美国访问去参观国会图书馆,图书馆的人因其藏书量大而骄傲,同去参观的人也无不为之惊叹,只有钱钟书一个人默不作声。
图书馆的人问他有何观感,他忍不住笑着说:“我也充满了惊奇,惊奇世界上有那么多我所不要看的书!”这话看上去风趣,却是事实,一个人不可能读完所有的书。
19世纪英国作家罗斯金就说过:“一个人的生命是短暂的,空余时间很少,因此我们不应把一刻空余时间耗费在阅读价值不大的书籍上。
”因此,今天我们提倡既要多读书,又要有选择意识,多读好书。
④毛泽东是我国历史上一位爱读书、会读书的领导人,他早年常说:“读书要为天下奇。
”他所说的“奇书”,不在择读之量,而在择读之内容与效果。
毛泽东的择书,排在前三位的是哲学、马列和文史,尤其在他晚年时,仅《红楼梦》就阅读和收藏了20种不同版本的线装书。
当然,那些与他的实践活动关系不大的书籍,他也有选择地阅读了很多。
⑤人们常说:“开卷有益。
”这句鼓励人们读书的话没错,但是并不等于读任何书都是“有益”的。
尤其面对之前从未看过的“新书”,更要有所选择。
美国哲学家阿尔考特曾说过:“一本好书使人开卷时会有所求,而闭卷时获有益处。

Unit 17“This is not the type of place where this happens," city council president George Carlton told a reporter, after the horror became public in his hometown, Sylacauga, Ala. He echoed what was said in Jasper, Texas, a year ago. Few people then had ever heard of Jasper. A week ago, even fewer could have pointed out Sylacauga on a map. A tiny city of 13,000, halfway between Birmingham and Montgomery, Sylacauga was known for its white marble quarries, textile mills and ice-cream factory. But last week Sylacauga, like Jasper, became a chapter in the recent history of hatred.According to police, Steven Eric Mullins, 25, and Charles Monroe Butler Jr., 21, plotted for two weeks to murder Billy Jack Gaither, 39. On Feb. 19, they arranged to meet him at a Sylacauga bar and lured him to a secluded area. There they beat him and dumped him into the trunk of his car. They then drove about 15 miles to Peckerwood Creek in Coosa County. There, says Coosa County Sheriff's Deputy Al Bradley, "they took him out of the trunk, took an ax handle and beat him to death." They set two old tires aflame, says Bradley, "then they put the body on the fire." They did it all, the deputy says, because Gaither was gay.Gaither's death has become a rallying point for gay-rights organizations' and state legislators' pushing a bill that would extend Alabama's three-year-old hate-crimes law beyond race, color, religion and national origin to cover crimes related to sexual orientation as well. "It's unfortunate that somebody had to lose his life in order for this legislation to pick up momentum here in the state of Alabama," says state Representative Alvin Holmes, who failed to get the original law amended when it was passed in 1996. Holmes filed for extending the law after Matthew Shepard, a gay student, was beaten and left to die on a fence in Wyoming last October, an incident that sparked national outrage. Even Wyoming failed to pass hate-crime legislation in the wake of the Shepard lynching. Like Shepard, Gaither did not hesitate to admit being gay, though he adhered quietly to Sylacauga's Southern dispositions. And friends dispute Mullins' and Butler's allegations that a sexual proposition incited the murder. Gaither's brother Randy told CNN: "Regardless of his personal life or anything, he doesn't deserve to be killed for this.""The message people are getting is that gay people are second-class citizens," says Tracey Conaty, spokesperson for the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force.Before Gaither's murder, activists were planning a major national pro-gay offensive. From March 21 to March 27, the task force will launch its "Equality Begins at Home" campaign, with 250 grass-roots events in all 50 states aimed at passing anti-gay-bashing legislation. Says Conaty: "These laws reflect the conscience of a community and send an important message." The March events, says Urvashi V aid, director of the task force's policy institute, will involve straight people concerned about neighbors denied basic human rights. Adds V aid: "It's more than just a gay thing."1.What is implied in the first two paragraphs?[A] there are many murders in the recent history of hatred[B]the murder also happened in Jasper one year ago[C] it is another case of the gay being tortured to death[D]the city council president comes from Sylacauga2.The author uses the example of Matthew Shepard to show that ________.[A] it is difficult to extend the hate-crime legislation[B]people want to extend the hate-crime law[C]the gays are really in a terrible fix[D] people are indifferent to the gay student3.Alvin Holmes’ attitude toward the gay victims is _________.[A]indifferent[B]sympathetic[C]outrageous[D]considerate4.Similar to Matthew Shepard, Gaither’s death ________.[A]aroused people’s sympathy for the gay[B] sharpened people’s awareness[C]gave legislation some momentum[D]failed to have any change in the legislation5.The text intends to express the idea that __________.[A] people should be concerned about their gay neighbors[B]the gay people shouldn’t be regarded as second-class citizens[C] the legislation for the gay still has a long way to go[D]more pro-gay campaigns should be launched。
