考研英语阅读理解之经济类文章的复习指导
万学海文
考研阅读经济类文章往往是提出现象,对现象进行说明,分析其产生原因,并对这种现象加以讨论,解释说明现象时往往在段首提出段落中心或观点,之后使用数据加以说明。用词往往是经济类术语,且包含表达数值变化的词。经济类文章占有很大比重,纵观十年真题阅读,几乎每年都有经济类文章,其中阅读A部分就有5篇是关于经济方面的文章,如2007年Text 4,2004年Text 3等。然而很多学生对经济类文章内容陌生,由于对于背景知识不了解,往往看了文章后一头雾水,解题无从下手。
那么,同学们应该如何复习考研阅读经济类文章,才能在考试中沉稳应对呢?
一、词汇储备
经济类文章复习,首先要了解经济类术语,将每年真题中出现的经济类词汇列出来,加以记忆,熟悉其含义和用法。此外,要了解一些词在经济类文章中的特定含义,如captive基本义为“大写字母”,但在经济中指“资本”, interest基本义为“兴趣”,但在经济类文章中一般指“利率”, figure基本义为“人物”,但在经济类文章常表示“数值”,swing一词指“摇摆不定”,用在经济类文章中常指经济趋势。还有,学生还需了解一下表示变化的词汇或短语,如表示增长,减少,稳定的表达法。
二、背景知识
平时在复习过程中,对于经济类文章进行归结,拿十篇文章经济类文章,放在一起阅读,对文章特点以及内容进行分析领悟,掌握一定的背景知识。
三、解题技巧
要做好经济类考研文章,在熟悉词汇意思,以及分析好句子结构的基础上,关键要抓住文章核心,即文章整体以及各段主要在说什么,也要注意段落之间的逻辑关系。如2002年考研真题阅读Text3,第一题考察第一二段的逻辑关系,文章第一段提到石油供应量减少导致石油涨价,而文章第二段开头提到:the oil price was given another push up this week when Iraq suspended oil exports.这句话表明伊拉克暂停石油出口促使油价进一步提高,题目中问石油价格上涨的主要原因是什么,干扰项D选项(Iraq’s suspension of exports)就不能选,因为从逻辑(another push)来讲,D选项内容并不是主要原因。

2018考研英语:阅读题中的经济类文章的常识
1.产能利用率(Capacity Utilization)
产能利用率,也叫设备利用率,是工业总产出(total industrial output)对生产设备的比率。简单的理解,就是实际生产能力到底有多少在运转发挥生产作用。
当产能利用率超过 95% 以上,代表设备使用率接近全部,通货膨胀(inflation)的压力将随产能无法应付而急速升高,在市场预期利率(market expected interest rate)可能升高情况下,对该国货币是利多。反之如果产能利用率在 90% 以下,且持续下降,表示设备闲置过多,经济有衰退的现象,在市场预期利率可能降低情况下,对该国货币是利空。
2.自然失业率(Natural Rate of Unemployment)
自然失业率指充分就业下的失业率。自然失业率即是一个不会造成通货膨胀的失业率(Non-accelerating Inflation Rate of Unemployment,NAIRU),也是劳动市场处于供求稳定状态的失业率。从整个经济看来,任何时候都会有一些正在寻找工作的人,经济学家把在这种情况下的失业称为自然失业率,所以,经济学家对自然失业率的定义,有时被称作“充分就业状态下的失业率”,有时也被称作无加速通货膨胀下的失业率。
例:America’s capacity utilization, for example, hit historically high levels earlier this year, and its jobless rate(5.6% in August)has fallen bellow most estimates of the natural rate of unemployment--the rate below which inflation has taken off in the past.(1997年Text5)
译文:例如,美国的生产力利用率在今年前段时间创下了历史高水平,而它的失业率(8月份为5.6%)已降至低于对自然失业率的大多数估测——过去当比率低于自然失业率时,通货膨胀率已急剧上升。
3.经济结构(Economic Structure)
经济结构指国民经济的组成和构造,它是一个由许多系统构成的多层次,多因素的复合体。一个国家的经济结构是否合理,主要看它是否建立在合理的经济可能性之上。结构合理就能充分发挥经济优势,有利于国民经济各部门的协调发展。经济结构状况是衡量国家和地区经济发展水平的重要尺度。不同经济体制(economic system),不同经济发展趋向的国家和地区,经济结构状况差异甚大。
4.货币政策(monetary policy)
狭义的货币政策指中央银行(central bank)为实现其特定的经济目标而采用的各种控制和调节货币供应量(monetary supply)或信用量(credit)的方针和措施的总称,包括信贷政策(credit policy)、利率政策(interest rate policy)和外汇政策(foreign exchange policy)。而广义政策的货币政策指政府、中央银行和其他有关部门所有有关货币方面的规定和采取的影响金融变量(financial variable)的一切措施。

真题例句:Much of the language used to describe monetary policy, such as “steering the economy to a soft landing” or “a touch on the brakes,” makes it sound like a precise science.译文:许多用来描述经济政策的语言,比如“控制经济软着陆”、“给经济踩刹车”,使经济政策听起来像是一门精确的科学。
5.利率(interest rate)
利率表示一定时期内利息量与本金(capital)的比率,通常用百分比表示,按年计算则称为年利率(annual interest rate)。当经济过热(overheated economy)、通货膨胀(inflation)上升时,便提高利率、收紧信贷(credit squeeze);当过热的经济和通货膨胀得到控制时,便会把利率适当地调低。因此,利率是重要的基本经济因素(basic economic factors)之一。
6.通货膨胀(inflation)
在信用货币制度下,流通中的货币数量超过经济实际需要而引起的货币贬值(devaluation)和物价(commodity price)水平全面而持续的上涨。
真题例句:Economists have been particularly surprised by favorable inflation figures in Britain and the United States, since conventional measures suggest that both economies, and especially America’s, have little productive slack.译文:经济学家尤其对英美两国利好通货膨胀数字感到吃惊,因为传统的计量方法表明两国经济,特别是美国经济,几乎没有出现生产萧条。
7.通货紧缩(deflation)
当市场上流通货币(currency)减少,人民的货币所得减少,购买力(purchasing power)下降,影响物价至下跌,造成通货紧缩。长期的货币紧缩会抑制投资与生产(investment and production),导致失业率(jobless rate)升高及经济衰退。

第三篇:2018考研英语:核心内容复习指导

考研英语:核心内容复习指导
之前有些同学虽然有考研的打算,但总是错觉的认为时间还早,不能做到全身心的投入到复习中,那么在现阶段,同学们如想制胜考研英语,就必须制定出周密的复习计划,以饱满的精神状态全方位的启动考研英语的复习。那么,考研英语复习覆盖了哪些核心内容?针对这些核心内容该怎样安排好复习呢?下面一起来看下!
(1)将词汇进行到底
词汇是基石。词汇量积累的多少非常影响考生在做题时的信心、心态、做题速度以及准确率。因此熟练掌握考研大纲单词尤为重要。考研英语对单词的考查维度,不是看考生能够认识多少怪癖的生词,而在于对词汇掌握的深度,看考生是否能够掌握一个英文单词的基本义、引申义、感情色彩、搭配、直至其用法。
有的同学可能会有这样的疑问:我在前一段的复习过程中单词已经背的差不多了,现在还再复习单词是不是有点浪费时间。对于已经把大纲上所列单词背的比较熟练得同学来说,在现阶段的首要任务就是把它们放到试题中去,放到活生生的语境中去,认真体会其引申含义和感情色彩。同时也应注意,有些同学的确已经将考研词汇书从头到尾复习了一篇,但应静下心来反问自己——复习过了是否等于都记住了并掌握了,通常来说,仅凭一遍记住考研词汇是不大现实的,因此,因对考研词汇书进行第二轮乃至第三轮的复习,而且在平时的阅读中应随时建立生词库,彻底扫清自己的单词盲点。
当然,可能还有些同学刚刚开始复习英语,那更得从单词着手,做好记忆单词的规划。
(2)完型精做精练
http://www.xiexiebang.com/kaoyan/ 完型填空的命题思路是“测试考生结合上下文的综合理解能力和语言运用能力,即在阅读理解基础上对篇章结构、语法和词汇知识的运用能力”。
完型填空总共20道题,其中65%的试题都是考查词汇辨析。因此,完型填空在很大程度上考查平时对词汇能力、词组搭配、上下文推理的掌握。考生一方面要抓核心词汇,特别是几年来一直很活跃的那些词汇辨析,如expose,stimuli等。另一方面要在做题的过程中积累词汇,不懂的单词和词组搭配要及时查字典,马上就弄清楚含义,进行查缺补漏。
另外,在做题时,要多从上下文、惯用法和搭配的角度考虑,还要特别注意分析句与句之间的衔接,要学会合理的进行推理和假设。
(3)阅读理解A争取高分
40分的大比重使阅读能力的测试成为重心所在,是决定考研英语成败的杠杆。考研阅读的复习,在打牢基础、训练提高自己阅读能力的同时要非常重视真题,虽然考过的这些文章不会再考,但这些体裁一直在反复出现,每年的新文章也不过还是历年词汇的重新排列组合而已。更重要的是,要抓住命题者的思路,只有认真研究真题。
在进行阅读学习时注意以下几个方面:
1.注意在阅读时积累词汇,特别是常见词的不常见意思;
2.抓住句子结构,通过语法知识来进行拆分理解。在阅读理解中,每篇文章都有长达三四行的句子,要理解全句的含义就不要囫囵吞枣,朦胧处之,而是找出主、谓、宾结构,然后把从句和插入语也找出来,这样句子的意思就不难理解了;
http://www.xiexiebang.com/kaoyan/ 3.整体上把握全篇。在把每个句子都弄懂的基础上,要统领全篇的内容,抓住中心主题,抓住作者的写作意图;
4.注意按选项要求答题,善于总结答题技巧,能够结合文意,结合选项特征,辨别清为何某一选项是正确的,其它选项是错误的。
需要提醒的是,做题要进行错误分析。在做题的时候,很多考生会对题目只停留在一个简单的对答案的程度上,这是远远不够的。既然我们花了时间和精力来做题,就应该在投入点时间把它们彻底的研究透彻。建议同学们至少要进行一下错误分析,即把所有做错的题目挑选出来,进行分类整理研究,找出自己错误的原因,并进行改正。这样才能真正做到有的放矢,使自己的水平有个质的提高。
(4)阅读新题型注意方法
这类试题具有以下几个特征:一是,所选择的文章;逻辑性强,结构紧密;二是要求补充的句子往往较长,理解起来有一定的难度;三是,要求补充的句子通常仅次位于段首或段末,在文章中发挥承上启下的作用。
一般来说,考生要很好地应付这类试题,有复习中必须注重以下能力的培养:一是,泛读能力,能通过“跳跃式”的快速阅读领会文章的主旨,分清文章的在致结构和脉络;二是,对长难句的理解和分析能力,能在较短时间内较好地把握备选句子的分、结构和在意,从而能将该句子放在合适的地方。
由于文章较长,而时间有限,不可能逐字逐句地琢磨细读,这就需要考生在短时间内对文章的主旨、结构以及内容有较为准确的把握。空白处的上下文尤其值得注意,对内容的连贯性和结构的整体性的考虑是作出正确选择的关键。我们可以看一下整个文章
http://www.xiexiebang.com/kaoyan/ 思,其余段落对主题句加以引申说明或加以论证,具体注意事项如下:
①可以先快速地通读全文,对文章的梗概和作者的思路有一个了解,关键是阅读首段或各段首末句迅速确定文章的主要内容、核心概念和作者态度等信息。
②句子和句子之间的衔接最直接地影响做出的选择。虽然句子是相对独立地表意单位,但各个句子之间并不是孤立的,上下文赋予了句子在整个文章中的完整含义。此句和其它句子之间的关系在字里行间会有各种提示线索:如指代关系:it,this,that,these,those,here,he,she;因果关系:as aresult,hence,therefore,consequently,thus;转折关系:though,but,however,in spite of,despite;承接关系:then,in addition,besides,in other words,moreover;列举关系:for instance,for example;类比关系:by comparison,likewise,compared to等。
③要从全文整体衡量,看看放在文中是否达到整体的顺畅连贯。
(5)抓住真题提高翻译准确性
翻译题是在一篇400字左右的概念或结构较复杂的短文中给出5个划线的句子,要求考生完整、通顺地将划线部分的句子译为汉语。此题主要是考查考生的词汇量,语法知识,阅读理解能力和汉语表达的综合运用技巧。
历年短文平均词数:370词;要求翻译的词数:160词。重点考查考生对词汇在上下文篇章中的猜测技能,在上下文中理解短语的含义,以及对于长、难句的分析仍旧是考试的重点,考生万万不可放松警惕。另外,能够体现英语特色的从句,并列句仍然要求考生较好的掌握。
http://www.xiexiebang.com/kaoyan/ 当然,基本的翻译方法,如:词、词组的省略及补译,译出it,they,this,that等代词的真正代表的含义,词义选择、引申、词性转换,长句的拆句与逆序翻译法,被动语态的翻译等都要认真做好准备,几乎年年都要出题的。
但是这一部分只要把历年的真题找来认真按以下4个步骤好好练练,就会有大的提高:第一,结构分析,通过语法知识把句子的主、谓、宾找出来,句子的意思也就很清晰了;第二,长句拆分,把长句拆分成短句,一部分一部分地分别理解;第三,词语推敲,在短结构中把词的精确意义确定下来,特别要注意联系上下文,选择词语正确地的含义;第四,检查核对,这是最后一步也是关键的一步,把词语拼结在一起仔细检查,看看每部分是否合理,长句是否通顺。
(6)写作需多读多练
写作部分非常强调对考生基本写作素质、基础写作能力的测试,很多考生即使是阅读能力练到很强的程度,写出的作文也非常差,所以要像做阅读一样多练才行。当然,这一部分更加强调应试策略。
A节应用短文写作
根据所给情景写出一篇应用性短文,包括“信件、便笺、备忘录等”,约100词(标点符号不计算在内),尽管大纲样题中列出的内容为写信向书店购书,内容上很容易把握,我们还是需要了解掌握各种各样的书信作文。可以分为:辞职信、求职信、投诉信、感谢信、申请信、建议信、安排信、咨询信、通知信、订购信和退货信。
了解格式是应用文写作的最起码要求。不用考虑书写属于齐头式还是缩进式。但最基本的Dear XXX,以及Yours sincerely还是需要一步到位。
http://www.xiexiebang.com/kaoyan/ 除外,要想在18分钟左右写好一篇既定情景的应用短文,这既需要具有英语言文字运用的各种基本功,又需要有根据给定情景迅速构文的能力。因此,考生对这一部分应给予足够的重视,在复习过程中要针对应用文写作做至少10篇左右的专项练习。
B节短文写作
图画作文在命题上可以采取三维立体式,即提纲+图画+情景说明的组合,需要在审题和创作时面面俱到。在图画构造上又可以采取两图对比式,如2000和2003年考题。但万变不离其宗,语言第一位,结构第二位,内容第三位。因此需要大家训练模式化构思和不断提升积累语言表达中提升作文的硬实力。

2014英语专题指导 之阅读理解9推理判断题训练
难度值:较难推荐度:五星
Last night’s meteor(流星)shower left many people in the community dissatisfied and demanding answers.According to Gabe Rothsclild, Emerald Valley’s mayor, people gathered in the suburbs of the city, carrying heavy telescopes, expecting to watch the brightly burning meteors passing through the sky.What they found instead was a sky so brightened by the city’s lights that it darkened the light of the meteors passing overhead.“My family was so frustrated,” admitted town resident Duane Cosby, “We wanted to make this an unforgettable family outing, but it turned out to be a huge disappointments.”
Astronomers---scientists who study stars and planets----have been complaining about this problem for decades.They say that light pollution prevents them from seeing objects in the sky that they could see quite easily in the past.They call on people and the government to take measures to fight against it.There is yet a population besides professional and amateur star observers that suffers even more from light pollution.This population consists of birds, bats frogs, snakes, etc.For example, outdoor lighting severely affects migrating(迁徙的)birds.According to the International Dark-Sky Association.“100 million birds a year throughout North America die in crashes with lighted buildings and towers.”
Countless more animals casualties(伤亡)result from the use of artificial lighting.Clearly, people enjoy the benefits of lighting their evenings, but some scientists think it can be harmful for humans;too They worry that exposure to light while sleeping can increase person’s chances of getting cancer.Emerald Valley is only one community that is becoming aware of the negative effects of light pollution.For years, Flagstaff, Arizona, has enforced lighting regulations in its city in order to assist astronomers at the Lowell Observatory.Similar efforts have been made worldwide, and a movement is underway to remind us to turn off lights when we are not using them, so that other creatures can share the night.A.the city’s lights affected the meteor watchingB.the meteors flew past before being noticed
C.the city light show attracted many peopleD.the meteor watching ended up a social outing
42.What do the astronomers complain about?
A.Meteor showers occur less often than beforeB.Their observation equipment is in poor repair
C.Light pollution has remained unsolved for yearsD.Their eyesight is failing due to artificial lighting
43.What the author concerned about according to Paragraph 4?
A.Birds may take other migration pathsB.Animal’living habits may change suddenly
C.Varieties of animals will become sharply reducedD.Animals’survival is threatened by outdoor lighting
.A.Lessen the chance of getting cancerB.create an ideal observation condition
C.ensure citizens a good sleep at nightD.enable all creatures to live in harmony
45.What message does the author most want to give us?
A.Saving wildlife is saving ourselvesB.Great efforts should be made to save energyC.Human activities should be environmentally friendlyD.New equipment should be introduced for space study
【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文,题材是灯光污染与环境保护。本文主要介绍了灯光污染给天文学家、人类、其它生物所带来的不良影响。以及人们为解决此问题所采取的措施等。2013天津卷B
【解析】ACDBC
41.推理判断题。难度:中等。根据题干关键词last night快速定位第一段。根据第一段最后一句可知“城市的夜空被灯点缀的是如此明亮以至于暗淡了头上飞过的流星的光亮,因此影响了人们观星”。
42.推理判断题。难度:中等。根据题干关键词astronomers快速定位第三段。根据they say that light pollution prevents them from seeing objects … they could see quite easily in the past.可以推断灯光污染问题一直没有得到解决,这才是他们所抱怨的。其他选项原文根本没有提到,属于无中生有的。
43.推理判断题。难度:中等。根据题干快速定位第四段。第四段驻澳讲述了灯光污染对于鸟类、蝙蝠、青蛙、蛇等的影响,尤其严重影响你鸟类的迁徙,最后一句话“每年北美大约有一亿的鸟在与被灯光点缀的建筑物或是高塔的撞击中死亡”因此可以推断选项是正确的。
44.推理判断题。难度:中等。根据题干中的大写Flagstaff, Arizona快速定位文章最后一段…Flagstaff, Arizona, has enforced lighting regulations in its city in order to assist astronomers at the Lowell Observatory可知推行此规定的目的是为天文学家更好的观察服务的。
45.推理判断作者意图题。难度:较难。文章主要讲的是灯光污染给人类和其它生物带来的影响,而灯光的直接造成原因就是人类本身,因此作者写本文主要是要告知人们人类的活动应该要注意环保。其它三项的内容均与本文无关。
【难句学习】
1.What they found instead was a sky so brightened by the city’s lights that it darkened the light of the meteors passing
overhead.翻译:城市的灯光时如此的明亮以至于头顶飞过的流星的亮度被削弱,因此人们看到的只是被点亮的夜空而不是流星分析:本句的是一个由what引导的主语从句,what作found的宾语。so …that引导结果状语从句。passing overhead是非谓语动词作后置定语。darken是动词。
2.They say that light pollution prevents them from seeing objects in the sky that they could see quite easily in the past.翻译:天文学家说光污染阻止了他们去看过去很容易就可以看到的天空中的目标。
分析:本句中say后面的that引导的是一个宾语从句。而sky后面的that引导的是一个定语从句,先行词是objects,that在从句中作see的宾语。
3.There is yet a population besides professional and amateur star observers that suffers even more from light pollution.翻译:可是除了专业和业余的观星者外,还有一个群体遭受着甚至更为严重的光污染的影响。
分析:本句是一个there be 特殊结构。that引导的是一个定语从句,在从句中作主语,先行词是population。
4.They worry that exposure to light while sleeping can increase a person’s chances of getting cancer.翻译:他们担心在睡觉的时候如果有太多的光亮的话可能会增加一个人得癌症的机会。
分析:本句中worry 后面的that引导的是一个宾语从句,while sleeping引导的是时间状语从句的省略结构。of getting cancer是chances的后置定语。
5.a movement is underway to remind us to turn off lights when we are not using them, so that other creatures can share the night.译:此外,一个运动正在进行中,目的是为了提醒我们不用灯的时候要关掉它,这样其它生物也能共享夜晚。分析:句中to remind是不定式作目的状语。when we are…是when引导时间状语从句,so that引导目的状语从句。
推理判断 属于主观性较强的高层次阅读理解题,做这类题目时,考生要严格依据作者所陈述的细节、事实以及作者的措词、态度和语气,找出能够表露作者思想倾向和感情色彩的词句,然后利用自己已获得的相关知识进行推理判断,从而得出符合逻辑的结论。
近年的高考题中常出现以下五种推理判断题:
一.推断隐含意义或深层意义二.推断作者观点或态度三.推断文段作用或作者写作意图
四.推断文章出处和来源五.推测文段前后的内容
