第一篇：2014考研英语每日一句(3月18-3月24号)
24、Sternberg notes that traditional tests best assess analytical and verbal skills but fail to measure creativity and practical knowledge, components also critical to problem solving and life success.【词汇突破】：analytical解析
Verbal 文字的Components 成分
【主干识别】：Sternberg notes that+宾语从句
【其他成分】：traditional tests best assess analytical and verbal skills but fail to measure creativity and practical knowledge 宾语从句；并列的动词best assess 和 fail to measure components also critical to problem solving and life success 为creativity and practical knowledge的同位语； critical to problem solving and life success为形容词短语修饰components
【难点揭秘】：同位语中加上了由形容词短语充当的后置定语加大了阅读难度。
【译文赏析】：斯顿伯格指出传统的测试能最好的评估出解析能力和语言能力而不能衡量一个人的创造性和实际才能，而这些都是对于解决问题和成功人生而言极其重要的因素。（后置定语前置，同位语单独成句）
25、Proficiency in anything requires a great deal of determination and self discipline.In addition, a person’s ability to cope with frustration is also a critical factor in one’s life career.要精通任何事情都需要极大的决心和自律精神。此外，一个人应对挫折的能力也是影响他一生事业的一个重要因素。
Although it has been possible to infer from the goods and services actually produced what manufactures and servicingtrades thought their customers wanted, only a study ofrelevant personal documents written by actual consumers will provide a precise picture of who wanted what.【词汇突破】：manufactures制造商
servicing trades服务业
precise准确的【主干识别】： a study will provide a precise picture.【其他成分】：Although it has been possible to infer from the goods and services actually produced what manufactures and servicing trades thought their customers wanted（状语从句）of relevant personal documents written by actual consumers（定语修饰study,翻译的时候不需要翻译出修饰关系）
of who wanted what.（定语修饰picture）
【微观分析】：it has been possible to infer what manufactures and servicing trades
thought their customers wanted（状语从句的主干，形式主语it，真的主语是： to infer„）from the goods and services actually produced（状语从句中的状语）
【参考译文】：尽管我们有可能从实际生产的商品和服务中推断出制造商和服务行业对于顾客需求的想法，但是只有对那些由实际的消费者所写就的相关个人记录进行研究才能精确地描述出到底是“谁”想要“什么”。
(但是只有对真正顾客所写的相关个人记录的研究才能对什么人需要什么东西提供一个精确的描述。)
【翻译点拨】：在我长难句的第二天课程中给出了相关动态名词的讲解，这里的study，picture我就翻译为了动词，这样就比括号里的翻译靠谱多了。
26、At the same time, the American Law Institute--a group of judges, lawyers, and academics whose recommendations carry substantial weight--issued new guidelines for tortlaw stating that companies need not warn customers of obvious dangers bombard them with a lengthy list of possible ones.【词汇突破】：Institute 机构
Substantial 实际的Bombard不断攻击;向...连续提出问题
Lengthy冗长
【主干识别】：the American Law Institute issued new guidelines
【其他成分】：a group of judges, lawyers, and academics whose
recommendations carry substantial weight同位语
for tort law定语修饰new guidelines
stating that companies need not warn customers of obvious
dangers or bombard them with a lengthy list of possible ones 定语修饰new guidelines
【微观解析】：companies need not warn customers of obvious dangers or bombard them with a lengthy list of possible ones；动词为warn 和 bombard并列;warn sb of sth;bombard sb with sth;
【难点揭秘】：同位语有一个隔离现象产生；stating+ that +句子其中出现两个并列的动词；
【译文赏析】：与此同时，美国法律协会，由一群法官、律师和专家学者组成的组织，他们的建议分量极重，发布了新的民事伤害法令指导方针，宣称公司不必提醒顾客注意显而易见的危险，也不必连篇累牍地一再提请他们注意一些可能会出现的危险。
Perhaps more than anywhere else, investors put their faith in accounting firms to make sure that the version of the figures that is made public is reasonably true and fair.【词汇突破】：put one’s faith in 信任..倚重„
reasonably true and fair.（在翻译的时候只需要翻译出真实和合理就可以了，其中的reasonably就不用翻译了，表示强调作用）
Accounting firms（会计师事务所）
【参考译文】：可能和其他地区相比，这里的投资者最倚重于会计师事务所，以确定公开版本的数据是真实并且合理的。
27、If the moderate end of the legal community has its way, the information on products might actually be provided for the benefit of customers and not as protection against legal liability.【词汇突破】：moderate end 适当的目标
Legal community 法律界
Have one’sway 成功，实现，得逞
Legal liability 法律责任
【主干识别】：并列句and 后面补全是：
Information might not be provided as protection against legal liability
【参考译文】 ：如果法律界这种恰当的目标能实现的话，那么产品上的信息可能就真是为
顾客的利益而提供的了，而不是为了避免承担法律责任。
28、The increase in numbers of married women employed outside the home in the twentieth century had less to do with the mechanization of house work and an increase in leisure time for these women than it did with their own economic necessity and with high marriage rates that shrank the available pool of single women workers, previously, in many cases, the only women employers would hire.【词汇突破】：to do with„ 与„有关
Economic necessity 经济需求
pool of single women workers 单生女工的资源
high marriage rates 高结婚率
【主干识别】：The increase（in numbers employed outside the home in the twentieth century定语）had less to do with the mechanization（of house work定语）and an increase(in leisure time定语)than it did with their own economic necessity and with high marriage rates在主干中出现了一个比较结构：
A had less to do with B and Cthan A did with D and E
A =The increase
B=mechanization
C=an increase
D=their own economic necessity
E=high marriage rates
并列中加不加with都是可以的；
(与其说A与BC 有关，还不如说与DE有关。)
其他成分:that shrank the available pool of single women workers, previously, in many cases,the only women employers would hire.定语从句接在high marriage rates后；
【微观分析】：the only women（whom）employers would hire.The ONLY women = single womenworkers
同位语中加上一个定语从句其中whom被省略了。
previously, in many case状语
【参考译文】：20世纪，在家庭外被雇佣的女性人数增加了，这与其说是由于家务活的机器化和闲暇时间的增加，还不如说是由于女性自身的经济需求和由于高结婚率。正是高结婚率减少了单身女工劳动力资源的数量，而在这之前很多情况下，她们是雇主们会雇佣的唯一女性。
【翻译点拨】：动态名词，单独成句，都用上了。
29、Moreover, those economists who argue that allowing the free market to operate without interference is the most efficient method of establishing prices have not considered the economies of nonsocialist countries other than the United States.【词汇突破】：interference 干扰
Other than 除了
【主干识别】: thoseeconomists have not considered the economies of nonsocialist countries otherthan the United States.（一定找出主干）
定语从句：who argue that allowing the free market to operate
without interference is the most efficient method of
establishing prices
【微观分析】：allowing the free market to operate without
interference is the most efficient method of
establishing prices
【参考译文】：而且，有些经济学家认为，允许自由市场不受干扰地运作是最为有效的定价手段。他们没有考虑到除了美国以外的其他非社会主义国家的经济。(单独成句）

第三篇：考研英语复习阅读贵在每日练习

考研英语复习阅读贵在每日练习
2013考研 初试刚结束，2014考研号角就已吹响。随着考研大军逐年庞大，竞争激烈程度逐年增加，“早准备、早入手”的备考理念已深入广大考生心中。众所周知，英语学习不不能靠临时突击，而应该是坚持不懈、日积月累、水滴石穿的一个过程。对于即将到来的寒假，2014届考生一定要合理利用这段相对集中的学习时间，将英语基础打牢。
阅读与写作属于英语语言的综合运用，全面反映了一个人的语言功底。在寒假阶段，考研英语的复习还属于基础预备阶段，不能将此两项作为复习重心。但是，阅读和写作又分别属于语言学习的两个方面，即阅读为语言的输入，而写作为语言的输出。换言之，一定量的阅读可以有效提高写作能力。在这个层面上，阅读就不仅仅是考研英语试卷中的一个考试题型，同时是积累语言素材的一个过程。
l 对于阅读的学习
无论是艺术考生，普通在校生，还是在职生，你们都需要将阅读英语文章贯穿在整个考研英语复习的过程中。
对于艺术考生，现阶段你们除了要将大部分精力给词汇、语法外，还需要每天抽出部分时间阅读，这一方面是不仅可以检测考生的语法、词汇学习的效果，也是为了摄入适量简短英文，以逐渐过渡到较长篇的考研英语篇章学习。
对于普通在校生，如果考生有比较好的英语基本功，建议你每天精读1-2篇具备考研难度的英文阅读理解，文章要精读，练习要细作。这样可以一方面提高了英语阅读能力，一方面为写作积累写作素材。
对于在职生，建议考生每天可以精读1篇英文阅读理解。除了任务量相对减少，其他要求和普通在校生一样。
对于写作的学习
www.xiexiebang.com
在现阶段，不需要开始写作练习。如前所述，现在是打牢基本功，积累语言输入的过程。因此，无论是艺术考生，普通在校生，还是在职生，你们需要做的就是结合阅读学习，积累地道的英语表达，比如，好词、好句、俗语、谚语等，并熟悉英语思维方式，了解英语文章写作习惯，避免后期写作输出中的大量中式英语。
小结
考研英语是一个考察语言综合运用能力的选拔性考试，在掌握应试技巧的同时，语言基本功才是制胜的关键。因此，建议广大考生要充分利用寒假阶段打牢语言基本功，这一定可以令你在后期的强化学习中事半功倍，游刃有余。
第四篇：2018何凯文考研英语每日一句
你的构造远非完美。根据最新一份研究结果，人类基因组75%的编码都是无用的。休斯顿大学的Dan Graur表示，目前一些研究团体将DNA的任何生化活动，不管多微小，都视为功能性的体现；这是不对的，只有当一个基因片断拥有有意义的用处时，才能算作有功能。而对于功能性基因来说，如果一个变异出现并打乱片断时，就会对人体造成危害。出于很多原因，DNA总是在任意变异，比如说紫外线辐射或细胞分裂时出现的DNA复制错误。Graur认为，如果人类大多数的DNA都是功能性的，那么大多数有害的变异早就令人类不堪承受了。而如果人类大多数DNA都没有用的话，那么大多数变异都无关痛痒，只有少数会起到非常明显的效果，这和现实惊人的一致。今天的句子：
After 20 years of biologists arguing that most of the human genome must have some kind of function, it now seems that, because of the way evolution works, the vast majority of our DNA has to be useless – a suggestion that contradicts claims from prominent researchers.What can we learn from the text?(A)The famous scholars are of the idea that the human genome must be functional.(B)The 20 years study has proved that most DNA of ours is useless for our health.(C)The claims from famous scholars contradict the function of DNA in evolution.(D)The new research have proved that the function of useless DNA in human evolution.词汇突破
genome 基因组 evolution 进化 majority 大多数
contradict 否定；与……矛盾 claim 声称；要求
prominent 显著的；杰出的 确定主干：
it now seems that the vast majority of our DNA has to be useless.切分成分：
1.After 20 years of biologists arguing…状语
2.that most of the human genome must have some kind of function宾语从句 3.because of the way evolution works原因状语
a suggestion(that contradicts claims from prominent researchers)同位语；其中括号里嵌套了一个定语从句
参考译文：二十多年来，生物学家一直认为大部分人类基因组均有一定功能。但现在看起来，因为进化的工作机制，DNA中的绝大多数必须是无用的——这个意见否定了许多杰出研究者的假设。
昨天题目的讲解：
After 20 years of biologists arguing that most of the human genome must have some kind of function, it now seems that, because of the way evolution works, the vast majority of our DNA has to be useless – a suggestion that contradicts claims from prominent researchers.What can we learn from the text?(A)The famous scholars are of the idea that the human genome must be functional.这个选项中有一个关键短语： Be of the idea that = 同意…观点…
prominent researchers= The famous scholars 根据原文可以知道: biologists 的观点= prominent researchers 的观点
而biologists 的观点是：most of the human genome must have some kind of function=the human genome must be functional.所以A选项是完美的同意替换！
这个句子其实讲了两个观点一个是传统的过去的观点，生物学家和杰出的研究者都认同的观点：人类的基因组必须是有一定功能的。还有一个观点是现在的新观点：由于进化的方式，大多数的人类基因是没有用的。
(B)The 20 years study has proved that most DNA of ours is useless for our health.20年的研究证明的不是DNA是没有用的，而是说一定有用的。偷换，所以排除！(C)The claims from famous scholars contradict the function of DNA in evolution.著名学者的观点与进化过程中DNA的功能是相抵触的。“在进化过程中DNA的功能”在文中并没有谈到，只谈到了由于进化，DNA变得没有用了。所以是偷换！排除！(D)The new research have proved that the function of useless DNA in human evolution.新的研究证明了在人类进化过程中无用DNA的作用。文中没有谈到“无用DNA的作用”所以排除！
特朗普在竞选总统期间，标榜自己是敢想敢做的新共和党人，宣称当选后将花1万亿美元重建全美的道路、水利和桥梁，同时允诺将复兴两党合作这种“失传的艺术”。已经入主白宫的他仍时不时地招摇“一个伟大的全国基建计划”，将通过公私合作“创造成百万新的就业岗位”，与罗斯福和艾森豪威尔的政府工程相媲美。然而现实总是惨淡而骨感的，共和党正陷入关于一系列事务的争吵之中，有医保、税务、债务、移民和预算，而基建呢，还得坐在冷板凳上，等着这些权重更高的问题一个个解决后才轮得着。（等待一旦起了头，可能就是没日没夜、无止无休了……）
今天的句子：Infrastructure remains stuck near the rear of the legislative line, according to two dozen administration officials, legislators and labor leaders involved in coming up with a concrete proposal.It awaits the resolution of tough negotiations over the budget, the debt ceiling, a tax overhaul, a new push to toughen immigration laws— and the enervating slog to enact a replacement for the Affordable Care Act.词汇突破: 1.infrastructure 基础建设2.rear 后端3.legislative 立法的 4.concrete 具体的5.budget 预算6.overhaul 彻底检修 7.immigration 移民8.enervating 无精打采的9.slog 苦干 10.enact颁布；制定法律 第一句：

1.over the budget, the debt ceiling, a tax overhaul, a new push to toughen immigration laws and the enervating slog状语
2.to enact a replacement for the Affordable Care Act后置定语
参考译文：据20多位参与具体提案工作的行政官员、立法者和工会领袖所说，基础建设仍困于立法队列的末尾。它等待着一系列艰难谈判得到解决。这些谈判涉及预算、债务上限、税务改革、新一轮强化移民法的行动，以及制定平价医疗法案的替代法这档子令人精疲力竭的苦差使。今天的句子：德国汽车行业日前又曝出丑闻。《明镜》周刊发布封面文章称：大众、宝马、戴姆勒本土三大巨头车企从上世纪90年代组建起大型卡特尔（Cartel），秘密举行会议，探讨协调包括汽车发展战略、发动机、供应商甚至到柴油发动机尾气排放处理系统等诸多事宜。7月22日，欧盟最高反垄断机构欧盟委员会在一份声明中确认：欧盟委员会和德国反垄断机构“联邦卡特尔局”已经收到了相关信息，目前正对此进行评估。若三大车企因减少竞争的共谋行为被最终定罪，它们将面临巨额罚款。
Germany’s high-end carmakers face a potentially destructive new scandal after European antitrust authorities said on Saturday that they were looking into allegations that Volkswagen, Daimler and BMW colluded illegally to hold down the prices of crucial technology, including emissions equipment.词汇突破：1.high-end 高端的2.potentially 潜在地3.destructive 破坏性的 4.scandal 丑闻5.antitrust 反托拉斯的6.allegation 指控7.collude 共谋 确定主干：

参考译文：德国的高端汽车制造商可能面对一桩新的巨大丑闻。此前欧洲反垄断部门上周六表示，他们正在调查有关大众、戴姆勒和宝马共谋以压低关键技术设备(包括排放设备)价格的指控。
来做一个题吧：Reporters tend to be part of a broadly defined social and cultural elite, so their work tends to reflect the conventional values of this elite.The astonishing distrust of the news media isn’t rooted in inaccuracy or poor reportorial skills but in the daily clash of world views between reporters and their readers.The basic problem of journalists as pointed out by the writer lies in their ________.[A] working attitude[B] conventional lifestyle [C] world outlook[D] educational background 上周日清晨，波士顿的沃尔瑟姆市区的一个豪华公寓小区突发大火。火势迅猛，达到10级警报级别，共有5栋大楼倒塌。爆炸声撕破空气，烟尘和余烬交织成的火雨不断倾泻而下，打在附近的街道上。这是本月波士顿地区第二起因纯木施工法而起火的工地。完全采用木头结构进行施工，因为成本低而越来越受到青睐。尤其是在工地和人力价格都不菲的都市，更是得到了开发商的偏爱。与选择其它方法的建筑相比，这种方法的成品在完工后防火性能并不打折。但在施工过程中木结构极易起火，所幸二次相关的失火都发生在非工作时间，到目前为止，仅有两人受轻伤。
Fire officials say the buildings are as safe as any other once they’re fully operational— with sheetrock, fire breaks,smoke detectors, and sprinklers installed — but they are vulnerable during construction,when flames can shoot quickly through rooms composed of little more than wood.词汇突破

参考译文：消防官员说，一旦全面投入使用，这些建筑会和其它建筑一样安全，装有石棉水泥板、隔火设施、烟雾探测器和洒水器。但在施工过程事，它们非常脆弱，火焰可以快速地穿透主要是木头的房间。
今天的句子：科学家警告说，物种入侵和全球变暖是一对并肩作战的“夺命二人组”。人类的频繁迁徙让物种越来越有可能进入新的地域，而气候变暖则推动许多异域物种在原本水土难服的环境中恣意生长。阿根廷蚁在英国的肆虐就是一个新的例证。这种蚁通常生长在室内，然而气候变暖使得它们逐渐可在野外生存。没有天敌和环境的约束，这些自由的入侵大肆繁殖，并通过层叠效应影响了整个生态生态圈的稳定。每年英国因物种入侵而遭受的经济损失高达数十亿英镑。As trade and human travel has become globalised many thousands of species have crossed oceans or mountain ranges and become established in new regions, with some causing “invasional meltdown” and over a trillion of dollars of damage a year.Recent research shows that ever more animals and plants are finding their way to foreign lands and that invasive species are a “primary threat” to economies, human wellbeing and wildlife.The reason animals and plants can find their way to foreign lands is ____.(A)the invasive species are a “primary threat” to our life as recent research shows(B)huge amount of damage has been caused by the invasive species a year(C)the mass immigration of human being combined with the global trade business.(D)the species established in new regions can improve the human wellbeing 词汇突破

Recent research shows… 切分成分：
1.that ever more animals and plants are finding their way to foreign lands宾语从句一
2.that invasive species are a “primary threat” to economies, human wellbeing and wildlife宾语从句二
参考译文：国际商贸和旅行令数千物种跨越海洋或山脉，在新的地区扎根繁衍。其中一些物种发展成“入侵灾难”，每年损失高达万亿。最近的调查显示，更多动植物正在“走向”异域，入侵物种是对经济、人类及野生动植物的“首要威胁”。每天你都会发现有某个公号文章正在鼓吹断舍离。这种生活美学从一个侧面反映，人类拥有强烈的收藏欲。不管东西，也不论古今，人们都会对特定的事物怀有依恋之情，并大费周章地获取和收藏。美国四五十年代出生的生育高潮儿就是这样。他们中有些人旅行到一个地方，就会买一个杯子（星马克的地方系列马克杯大概就是为这些人准备的），有的收集各种毛绒玩具。但现在步入老年的他们极为苦恼，因为大多数子女都不愿意继承这些家什，一听到“我走了它们就是你的了”这样的话就感到万分恐惧。看来现在传家宝并不那么受年轻人欢迎。
今天的句子：
While every generation has its turn with an attachment for antiques or nostalgia for outdated technology, today’s tech-heavy culture shows few signs of trading in its sleek, modern designs for dark furniture or knick-knacks from bygone eras.词汇突破：
attachment 依恋antique 古董nostalgia 怀旧
outdated 过时的sleek 线条流畅的knick-knack 小物件 bygone 过去的 确定主干：
today’s tech-heavy culture shows few signs of trading in…for… 当下以科技为主的文化显示了很少以……交换……的迹象 切分成分：

2.an attachment for antiques or nostalgia for outdated technology 介词with的宾语 3.its sleek, modern designs 介词in的宾语
4.dark furniture or knick-knacks from bygone eras介词in的宾语
参考译文：虽然每代人都对旧物或是老科技有所依恋，但当下崇尚科技的文化显示了极少迹象，会以现代流畅的设计去交换过去的深色家具或小物件高手与人辩论时，最忌一时看不清对手的逻辑谬误，被拉进无休止的无意义讨论中。比如说最常见的谬误——人身攻击（ad hominem），即不用证据、事实或理由去维护立场，而是透过标签、挑衅或谩骂来攻击对手。来看看两位世界顶级大咖的互掐。脸书创始人扎克伯格在直播中被问道，怎么看待马斯克的杀人机器人言论。扎克伯格说，人工智能会构建更和谐的世界，我认为那些反对者试图描绘一幅末日场景，我不明白，我真的认为这是非常不负责的。不久马斯克就在推特中反驳道，扎克伯格对人工智能领域的理解很有限。直接摆出了一幅我懒得和你这种水平的人搭话的态度。另外，值的一提的是，霍金也和马斯克一样，认为人工智能会让人类成为二等公民，或者发起终结者式的叛乱。
今天的句子：The groundwork for the world’s nerdiest fight was laid by Musk, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO, earlier this month, when he pushed again for the proactive regulation of artificial intelligence because he believes it poses a “fundamental risk to the existence of civilization”.词汇突破

Imitation can get a bad reputation, but researchers say our species’ drive to imitate so readily is a significant mechanism through which we learn social norms, integrate into society, and build social connection.And, they say, this level of imitation might be what sets us apart from other species and may have set us on the path to building an advanced society.英语中有句谚语：“模仿是最真诚的恭维”（Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery）。科学家的研究表示，模仿的重要性不仅如此，还可能是人之所以为人的根源。婴幼儿时期，人们就开始模仿周遭的人，学人吐舌头，把耳朵靠近电话听筒，向给自己打招呼的手挥手。等我们成年后，遇到心仪的人会不自主地模仿对方的身体语言，和朋友买一样的红鞋子，网购明星同款。也许很多人不愿意承认自己是模仿者，然而科学研究表明只有人类才能建立高度组织化的社会文明正是源于模仿。获得知识有两种基本途径，一种是尝试—犯错—尝试，这种方法无疑是最直接、最有开创性、也最受尊敬的，但它效率极低；另一种就是模仿，模仿使得人类得以快速地掌握复杂的语言和社会文化，相当于“抄了小道”。人类不仅有意识地模仿具有直接功能目的的举动，还会无意识地模仿那些看起来多余且无稽的言行。
今天的句子：Imitation can get a bad reputation, but researchers say our species’ drive to imitate so readily is a significant mechanism through which we learn social norms, integrate into society, and build social connection.And, they say, this level of imitation might be what sets us apart from other species and may have set us on the path to building an advanced society.词汇突破：1.Imitation 模仿2.Reputation 名声

随着体育世界陷入一年一度的夏季迷茫期，一系列不祥的时刻正在出现。7月初斯蒂芬•库里与金州勇士队签署为期5年的合同，合同价值仅为2亿美元。在上个合同期，库里凭借自己的表现和安慰人心的魅力，帮助勇士队的价值从2010年的仅4.5亿提升到现在了260亿美元。消息一出，勒布朗•詹姆斯在推特上写道：“为什么球员的薪水要有最高限？别回答。斯蒂芬这个夏天应该获得4亿。”另一则消息更是让人们看到谁才是球员价值的最终受益者。7月中旬休斯顿火箭队老板决定出售球队，这支球队24年来价值翻了19倍。

被尊称为“医学之父”的希波克拉底（《希波克拉底誓言》仍是今天医护人员的重要职业道德准则）曾提出过体液学说。这种学说认为人体内有４种不同类型的体液：血液、粘液、黄胆汁和黑胆汁。一旦脾分泌的黑胆汁过多，人就会感到抑郁——持续的心情灰暗，无缘由地长期感到恐惧或伤心。直到17世纪，神经学家Thomas Willis才认识到抑郁与体液无关，而是一种涉及大脑功能的复杂病变。虽然人们慢慢接受了抑郁是一种生理失调，而非古人认为的巫蛊抑或魔障之害（中世纪时抑郁的女性会被当作巫婆活活烧死），但是目前仍没有长期和有效的治疗方法。美国有12%的人正在服用抗抑郁药物，且自杀率已经攀升到30年来最高点。

原文：herbal remedies fell in of vogue.选项：herbal remedies were once in fashion Too…to feel pain= to control melancholia 感觉不到痛苦=控制抑郁症 所以A就是正确答案！
(B)there are many therapies to heal and cure melancholia Heal 和cure 不对，没有说这些治疗手段能治愈抑郁症。(C)the Greeks finally found melancholia to be physical disease 翻译：希腊人最终发现抑郁症是生理疾病； 这个发现不是希腊人做出来的，所以排除！(D)the opium used to be used to cure the melancholia Used to be used = 过去被用，而现在不被用；
原文说的是鸦片治疗抑郁症过去流行过，现在不流行了。而不是说不用了。当然cure这个词用的也不准确。今天的句子：
Back in 1990, Pew asked couples what made a marriage work, and fewer than half(47%)of adults said sharing household chores was very important.When couples were asked again 17 years since later, no other item on the list(which included faithfulness and happy sexual relationships)had risen in importance nearly as much, and across the demographic landscape―among men as well as women, marrieds as well as singles;old as well as young.According to the recent survey, what makes the marriage work well decisively ?(A)the loyalty to the marriage(B)the harmonious communication(C)the importance of home chores(D)the joint efforts for homework
近日，一位男子在Quora上的提问招来了全世界网友劈头盖脸的痛骂。他说，“我未婚妻的收入还不到我的四分之一，却不肯婚后辞职，想让我分担家务。我告诉她要得到自己想要的，就得去找个收入和她一样的。我说错了么？”对于家庭分工这个课题，专门研究稀缺资源分配的经济学有话要说。首先需要考虑的是专业化。亚当•斯密1776年在《国富论》中就提到，财富的秘密不在于金钱而在于劳动力的专业化：一个人不应寻求把所有事都做好，而是专心于自己最擅长也最能获得成就感的事（这就是相对优势理论）。所以对于这位男子和他的未婚妻来说，两个人都更擅长和喜欢自己的工作，那么就都不应该放弃职业。这个矛盾就引出了下一个经济学原则——公平。经济学有一个经典实验，叫做“最后通牒博弈”。参与者甲有20美元，他必须决定给乙一部分钱，如果乙拒绝接受，两个人都不能得到钱。实际上，只有在甲将钱的40-50%分给乙时，才能达到博弈的效能最大化，因为更低的数额会显失公平，令乙退出博弈。这个原则应用到家务分配中，就是说不管双方收入如何，身份完全平等的夫妻（古代或落后法律制度下不平等的关系除外）应该尽量分担家务这种枯燥且认同感极低的工作，否则婚姻这个“博弈”将无法持续地进行下去。词汇突破

上周末，谷歌一位工程师在内部备忘录中抨击了谷歌的性别平等计划，认为科技行业中存在性别差距的部分原因来自于生理（他认为女性的抗压能力相对较低，谷歌不应把“共情力”看的那么重要），谷歌应该停止通过所谓的性别平等计划“排外保守主义者”。该内部备忘录后流出，引爆了社交网络，招来一片讨伐之声。然而据这名工程师说，许多谷歌的同事都同意和卫护他的观点。谷歌的人力资源在两方之间又是躲石子又是找立场，一时间不知道如何回应。直到周一，谷歌的首席官SundarPichai说：“这份备忘录违反了我司的行为准则，通过倡导有害的性别定型越了界。”谷歌工程副总裁Ari Balogh发表声明说：“我们文化中很重要一部分是分享不同的观点。但这份备忘录的一个方面让我深刻不安，他暗示女性或者男性必须以一种特定的方式去感受或行动。这是有害的标签化。它的内核是偏见。”彭博社随后报道，该名员工已被解聘。而谷歌对于这份报道没有提出异议，相当于默认了解聘行为的发生。今天的句子： After a controversial memo by a Google engineer about diversity programs at the company and gender differences went viral over the weekend, sparking an explosive reaction on social media, the search giant did not dispute media reports late Monday that the employee had been fired.词汇突破：

“骨灰级”工作狂、96岁的菲利普亲王于本周三正式退休，终于结束了长达65年的公职。从1952年至今，不数他陪伴女王出席的各种活动，他一共单独出席了22219场公开活动。菲利普亲王同时还是一位风趣诙谐的段子手，为女王获得了很多支持，但也曾因为开不恰当的政治玩笑而频上媒体头条。时光无情，当年俊美的希腊王子如今已是耄耋之年。他经过了二战却也熟稔这个和平时代的处处互联，更是一步步帮助妻子渡过了皇室的公众信任危机。谈到顺应潮流、适应时代同时坚持传统，这个世上也许没有比英国皇室和菲利普亲王做得更好的了——一个古老的君权和一位古稀的老人舍弃了那张不露声色的贵族脸，融入了新千年中大众的热忱。

不管你是个热心的素食者还是个固执的肉食者，不管你用的是帆布袋还是塑料袋，你一个人对于生态的影响是微乎其微的。但这些生活细节就极大地影响别人怎么看你，你如何看自己。心理学家发现，如果人们极其关注社会地位时，倾向于在公共场所购物时选择绿色产品。也就是说虚荣心，而不是行为效能，才是促进大部分人环保的最有效因子。但虚荣心只有在被别人看得见时才发挥作用，一旦回到私下则会出现“道德许可”现象。即人们觉得在一方面做“够”了好事，就能在另一方面放松放松。比如说大部分说自己绿色环保的精英人士从来没有拼过车也没有尽量避免坐飞机出行，而单是这两项的碳足迹就远超过吃肉了。换句话说，也就是自我克制常常会导致自我放纵（认真减过肥的人想必有所体会）。

[A] Customers might be relieved of their disasters through lawsuits.[B] Injured customers could expect protection from the legal system.[C] Companies would avoid being sued by providing new warnings.[D] Juries tended to find fault with the compensations companies promised.先做题再看解析吧！题目的解析：
1.It’s a rough world out there.外面的世界很残酷；
2.Step outside and you could break a leg slipping on your doormat.一出门，你可能在门垫上滑倒，摔断了腿；
3.Light up the stove and you could burn down the house.一给炉子生火，你可能会把房子给烧了。前三句话做了一个引入； 4.Luckily, if the doormat or stove failed to warn of coming disaster, a successful lawsuit might compensate you for your troubles.幸运的是，如果门垫或者火炉没有警告即将到来的灾难，一场成功的诉讼可能会对你的麻烦做出赔偿。
5.Or so the thinking has gone since the early 1980s, when juries began holding more companies liable for their customers’ misfortunes.这句话是重点，因为题干有很明显的定位词”1980s” 句法分析： 句子主干：
Or so the thinking has gone（since the early 1980s状语）这里的or = and So 用法你应该见过：
“确实是这样”，表示对前面陈述事实的强调，结构为so+主语+助动词/情态动词/系动词
例句：Tony works very hard at all the subjects.So he does.这里的has gone 就是系动词= has been;The food has gone bad.= The food has been bad.所以主干变成大家能读懂的样子就是： And the thinking has been so since the early 1980s 从1980年代以来人们的想法就是这样的了！（所以第四句就是答案来源句！）再来看一下这个状语从句：
when juries began holding more companies liable for their customers’ misfortunes.那时候陪审团开始认为(holding)更多的公司应该为他们消费者的不幸负责（liable for）。怎样原文解释的够清楚了吧！51.What were things like in 1980s when accidents happened? [A] Customers might be relieved of their disasters through lawsuits.选择A的同学主要是不知道relive的搭配！Relieve something 表示的是减轻…
但是relieve sb of sth 也就是sb is relieved of sth，只能表示“免除某人…；”“某人被免除…” 所以这里的A选项就是不对的，不可能通过一场诉讼就免除灾难！你以为法院是寺庙呢？还可以消灾免难？打完官司出来一看，我去，腿没断！！（妈的，智障！）这就是很多年词汇的梗了！
[B] Injured customers could expect protection from the legal system.这是正确答案，受伤的顾客可以期待从法律系统中获得保护； 也就是第四句讲的：
a successful lawsuit might compensate you for your troubles.模糊替换！
[C] Companies would avoid being sued by providing new warnings.（公司可以通过提供新的警告来避免被起诉。）
选C的同学，你要是能给我找出哪里有“提供新的警告”，以及“避免被起诉”我就把电脑吃下去，你是自己在脑子里想出来的吧！你是蒋中挺派来的？自己去一元，冷静一下！[D] Juries tended to find fault with the compensations companies promised.（陪审团常常会挑出公司承诺赔偿的毛病。）
这也是属于要上天的同学选的答案，你想象力太丰富了，给你一个jury 你就能选D，在多给点其他的，你就要和太阳肩并肩了！滚粗！别烫着自己！
阿黛尔6月底向粉丝致公开信道歉取消两场已经售尽的演唱会，她写道：“我不知道怎么开口。前两晚我已经力不从心了。我的声带已经不能再坚持。”音乐产业最有力的年轻之声陷入沉默。年仅29岁的阿黛尔已经是第二次声带受伤，第一次她通过高风险的声带微手术找回了声音。然而声乐老师Lisa Paglin和Marianna Brilla在那次手术时就已经把声誉赌上，准确地预料到阿黛尔会因伤再次离开舞台，原因是手术治标并未治本。他们认为当前越来越多的艺术家面临严重的声带损伤，是因为自从瓦格纳以来人们就开始崇尚一种不自然的演唱方式，张得不能再大的嘴巴，大口大口的呼吸，面部表情极其骇人。这种发声方式已经导致大量歌唱家失去声音。也许我们太习惯现在的表演方式，太习惯了尖叫出来的高音和宣泄，忘记了在贝尼亚米诺·吉里的时代，压根就没有听说过声带受损这回事，那时所有的表演者唱歌都带着自然轻松的愉快表情。每一种嗓音都有特殊的处理方法，力图服从本能，掌握令自已舒适的发声方式，才是长久之道。今天的句子：They aim to stimulate the cords precisely where they aren’t coming together properly, and to break students out of the bad habits that cause problems in the first place: taking big gulps of air,tensing the throat and jaw muscles, forcing the mouth to open to exaggerated proportions, and the urge to scream out the high notes.词汇突破：

生命起源于何处？Fiat lux et facta est lux.（Let there be light and then there is light.许多大学的座右铭源于这个拉丁文。）有了光之后呢？曾经我们认为原始海洋是生命的源初之地，为单细胞生物提供了能量、养分和庇护，并进一步催化它们发展成为更复杂的生命形式。但是这个理论有诸多漏洞。最说不通的地方在于海洋中大量的水会快速稀释和分散聚合生命所需的分子，这些化学物质根本来不及相互作用，以形成细胞膜和原始的新陈代谢体系。最近分子学家对澳大利亚一处古岩石的考古发现，为生命的起源提供了新的方向。他们认为，生命不来自海洋，而起源于陆地上干湿交替的火山间歇泉。一方面，火山带来的地热给原始生命提供了“起动资金”——能量；另一方面，分子可在干涸期的水洼中聚集和浓缩，从而进行的必要的化学反应，生成更加复杂的分子聚合物；而丰水期的再次到来则给予了这些高分子聚合物更多机会扩散，等到干涸期再次来临时他们会继续浓缩并反应，最终形成细胞膜的原形。The pools have heat to catalyze reactions, dry spells in which complex molecules called polymers can be formed from simpler units, wet spells that float these polymers around, and further drying periods that maroon them in tiny cavities where they can interact and even become concentrated in compartments of fatty acids—the prototypes of cell membranes.词汇突破

公共卫生专家有时会用一座城市的地铁线路图或铁路交通图来研究和描述收入差距与居民寿命的相关性。比如说伦敦的银禧线，从政治中心西敏寺到后工业区坎宁镇的8个站，每经过一个站，居民的平均寿命就会下降一岁。而在格拉斯哥市，从乔丹山到布里厅顿共7个站，男性平均寿命就从75.8岁下降至61.9岁。这些鲜明的区别也许是对广泛存在的医疗不平等最醒目的描述。保守党和自由民主党联盟共同执政的几年内，贫富人口之间在医疗卫生方面的差别没有像他们承诺的一样缩小，反而因为经济危机之后的紧缩政策而逐渐增大。今天的句子！

Yet the BBC will have to change, because the broadcasting world around it is changing.The commercial TV channels — ITV and Channel 4 — were required by the Thatcher Government's Broadcasting Act to become more commercial, competing with each other for advertisers, and cutting costs and jobs.But it is the arrival of new satellite channels — funded partly by advertising and partly by viewers' subscriptions — which will bring about the biggest changes in the long term.58.The foremost reason why the BBC has to readjust itself is no other than ________.[A] the emergence of commercial TV channels
[B] the enforcement of Broadcasting Act by the government
[C] the urgent necessity to reduce costs and jobs
[D] the challenge of new satellite channels
思路解析：
第一句：BBC不得不改变，因为其周围的广播的世界在变！第二句：变化的表现一。（原因一）第三句：变化的表现二。（原因二）
现在问题就来了：到底是看第二句还是看第三句呢？ A选项和B选项还有C选项仿佛在对应着第二句； D选项对应第三句；
这个时候就要检查你是否尊重题干了！
题干中有个很重要的定位词: The foremost reason 这是在问最主要的原因！所以第二句和第三句的地位是不一样的！
第三句中：But it is the arrival of new satellite channels — funded partly by advertising and partly by viewers' subscriptions — which will bring about the biggest changes in the long term.有But,有biggest所以第三句才是主要原因啊！
所以答案只能选择D！
同时：ABC这三个选项都不是对第二句话的同意替换，只是看上去有点相似而已！即使你看不出ABC的错误，那你也必须知道定位到第二句就是错的！当你读到关于癌症研究的新闻故事时，请记住一个健康警示：相信字里行间的希望，但别信里边的炒作。一个好的新闻标题醒目煽动，可迅速地“收割”大范围的读者注意力；然而坚实的科学却是长期针对复杂问题一步一步迈出的路。如果一种新的疗法仍在研究过程中，那意味着真正应用到临床还需要很多年。虽然我们在面对华而不实的信息时要保持头脑的清醒，但是仍需承认癌症的治疗已多有突破，希望一直都在。现在我们知道除了传统的侵入性化疗之外，还有一些更智能更有效的靶向药。比如说一些乳腺癌细胞的存活有赖于一种叫做HER2的蛋白质，可使用抗体药物赫塞汀进行治疗；而另一种乳腺癌细胞则依附于雌激素，可由抗雌激素它莫西芬控制。

Supporters of the new super systems argue that these mergers will allow for substantial cost
reductions and better coordinated service.Any threat of monopoly, they argue, is removed by fierce competition from trucks.But many shippers complain that for heavy bulk commodities traveling long distances, such as coal, chemicals, and grain, trucking is too costly and the railroads therefore have them by the throat.According to those who support mergers, railway monopoly is unlikely because ________.[A] cost reduction is based on competition [B] services call for cross-trade coordination [C] outside competitors will continue to exist [D] shippers will have the railway by the throat 今天题目的解析：
1.Supporters of the new super systems argue that these mergers will allow for substantial cost reductions and better coordinated service.新的超级系统的支持者认为这些合并将会带来（allow for）大幅的费用降低和更好的协调服务
2.Any threat of monopoly, they argue, is removed by fierce competition from trucks.他们认为任何由垄断所带来的威胁都被来自卡车的竞争给消除了。
3.But many shippers complain that for heavy bulk commodities traveling long distances, such as coal, chemicals, and grain, trucking is too costly and the railroads therefore have them by the throat.但是很多货主却抱怨道对于需要长途运输的大宗商品，比如煤炭，化学品和粮食；有卡车运输就太贵了。这样一来铁路就卡住了他们的脖子。（这里是个比喻，表示这些货主受制于铁路行业）
According to those who support mergers, railway monopoly is unlikely because ________.那些支持合并的人认为，铁路行业的垄断是不可能的，因为_______.精确定位只能到第二句！第一句虽然也是支持合并的人的观点，但是没有谈到垄断啊！所以 [A] cost reduction is based on competition（费用的降低是基于竞争的）
[B] services call for cross-trade coordination（服务需要跨行业的协调）A和B我真的不会选！
对D选项我更是要呵呵了！
[D] shippers will have the railway by the throat（货主将会卡住铁路的脖子）
且不说谁卡谁的脖子，定位就错了啊！问的是支持者的观点，第三句是货主的观点！我肯定不会选！
但是我也知道大家在考场上还做不到第一步就能排除ABD，那我就只希望你们在最后选择的时候问一问自己：我有没有精确定位！我有没有尊重题干！[C] outside competitors will continue to exist 直接对应第二句：competition from trucks= outside competitors 这里就可以积累这样两个句子：
A句：Any threat of monopoly, they argue, is removed by fierce competition from trucks.B句：According to those who support mergers, railway monopoly is unlikely because outside competitors will continue to

The second half of the 20thcentury saw a collection of geniuses, warriors, entrepreneurs and visionarieslabour to create a fabulous machine that could function as a typewriter and printing press, studio and theatre, paintbrush and gallery, piano and radio,the mail as well as the mail carrier.Not only did they develop such a devicebut by the turn of the millennium they had also managed to embed it in a worldwide system accessed by billions of people every day.The networked computer is an amazing device, the first media machine that serves as the mode of production, means of distribution, site of reception, and place of praise and critique.The computer is the 21st century's culture machine.But for all the reasons there are to celebrate the computer, we must also act with caution.This is because the networked computer has sparked a secret war between downloading anduploading— between passive consumption and active creation — whose outcome willshape our collective future in ways we can only begin to imagine.I call it a secret war for tworeasons.First, most people do not realise that there are strong commercial agendas at work to keep them in passive consumption mode.Second, the majority of people who use networked computers to upload are not even aware of the significance of what they are doing.All animals download, but only a few upload.Beavers build dams and birds make nests.Yet for the most part, the animal kingdom moves through the world downloading.Humans are unique intheir capacity to not only make tools but then turn around and use them to create superfluous material goods — paintings, sculpture and architecture — and superfluous experiences — music, literature, religion and philosophy.Of course, it is precisely these superfluous things that define human culture andultimately what it is to be human.Downloading and consuming culture requiresgreat skills, but failing to move beyond downloading is to strip oneself of adefining constituent of humanity.For all the possibilities of our new culture machines, most people are still stuck in download mode.Even after the advent of widespread social media, a pyramid of production remains,with a small number of people uploading material, a slightly larger group commenting on or modifying that content, and a huge percentage remain ingcontent to just consume.One reason for the persistence of this pyramid of production is that for the past half-century, much of the world's media culture has been defined by a single medium — television — and television is defined bydownloading.Television is a one-way tap flowing into our homes.The hardest task that television asks of anyone is to turn the power off after he has turned it on.The networked computer offers thefirst chance in 50 years to reverse the flow, to encourage thoughtful downloading and, even more importantly, meaningful uploading.What counts as meaningfuluploading? My definition revolves around the concept of “stickiness”—creations and experiences to which others adhere.Applications like tumblr.com, whichallow users to combine pictures, words and other media in creative ways and then share them, have
the potential to add stickiness by amusing, entertaining and enlightening others.1.According to the second paragraph, which of the following is true? [A]The networked computer overturned the traditional culture.[B]The online services wage a war against the creation.[C]The conflict between downloading and uploading makes the computer the culture machine.[D]The online shopping should be categorized as the mode of downloading.2.Bysaying “All animals download, but only a few upload.”, the author indicatesthat_______.[A]computer skills can be acquired by certain animals [B]it is difficult for animals to build homes [C]animals are different from humans in using digital means [D]the innovative activities set boundaries between humans and other species
3.The word “pyramid” mentioned in paragraph 5 means_______.[A]a marvelous human construction [B]the widespread access to the internet [C]the scarcity of creative minds [D]the prevalence of innovative thoughts
4.The author’s attitude towards networked computer is _______.[A]sympathy [B]objectiveness
[C]objection
[D]bias
5.Toassure the meaningful uploading, one must_______.[A]increase the entertainment value [B]take advantage of the media [C]combine useful materials [D]focus on the quality that interests people
特朗普对应对气候变化态度冷淡（从他让美国高调退出巴黎协定就可见一斑），这将对整个经济和全球环境治理产生深远的影响。可政治决策固然重要，但清洁能源领域科学进步的速度、大宗商品市场的起伏、个人及企业的投资决策都是影响应对气候变化成效的关键因素。目前谈到气候变化政策时，关键的矛盾不在于环保的意愿，而在于由谁来埋单才不会显失公平。比如出于技术的限制，清洁能源的使用会导致传统能源从业人员大批失业和电价大幅上升，受影响最大的将是对日常生活支出价格敏感的普通民众，所以很多人非常支持特朗普的政策，因为对于他们来说，养家糊口高于一切。今天的句子：

今天的题目：Since OPEC agreed to supply-cuts in March, the price of crude oil has jumped to almost $26 a barrel, up from less than $10 last December.The oil price was given another push up this week when Iraq suspended oil exports.Strengthening economic growth, at the same time as winter grips the northern hemisphere, could push the price higher still in the short term.51.The main reason for the latest rise of oil price is ________.[A] global inflation [B] reduction in supply [C] fast growth in economy [D] Iraq’s suspension of exports 解析：

明天的句子：“There is no experimental evidence to support the idea that people get asthma or exacerbated asthma from exposure to fragrances,” says Wolkoff, who suspects psychology is at work instead.A big problem with experiments that expose people to fragrances is that blinding is virtually impossible: the subject knows they are smelling a scent and this may affect their response.41 今天来谈谈香的坏处。这里的香不是“春风花草香”里的植物之香，亦不是“赌书消得泼茶香”中的雅香，更不是屈夫子诗句里满满的中药香，而是现代商业带来的各种含香消费品。香料的流行始于古埃及的贵族，他们非常喜欢麝香和其他来自珍稀动植物的昂贵且难求的原料。19世纪晚期开始，人们开始利用现代化工技术合成多样且低成本的合成香料，从蜡烛到洗发水，甚至是厨房和厕所都慢慢散发出柠檬和松香的味道，人类从来没有暴露在如此多的人工芳香化学物之中。问题在于没有人知道这些含香产品是否安全，甚至很难知道它们的成分，在大多数国家厂家香料成分无需声明。越来越多的人表示无孔不入的人工香味已经严重地影响了他们的健康，然而矛盾在于嗅觉是无法进行盲法实验对比，因此很难排除心理因素。

“There is no experimental evidence to support the idea that people get asthma or exacerbated asthma from exposure to fragrances,” says Wolkoff, who suspects psychology is at work instead.A big problem with experiments that expose people to fragrances is that blinding is virtually impossible: the subject knows they are smelling a scent and this may affect their response.词汇突破： asthma 哮喘 exacerbate 加重 experiment 实验 expose 暴露；置身 fragrance 芳香 scent 气味 response 反应

Wolkoff说，“没有实验证据支持暴露于香气中会让人得哮喘或加重哮喘这一观点”，相反他怀疑起作用的是心理。芳香实验的一大问题在于，对于置身其中的人来说，盲法几乎是不可能的：实验对象知道他们正在闻一种气味，这会影响他们的反应。
今天的句子：
莎士比亚曾经在威尼斯商人中写道：“慈悲不是出于勉强，它像甘霖一样从天而降，既赐福于施与者，又赐福于受施者”（The quality of mercy is not strained, it droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven upon the place beneath.It is twice blessed.It blessth him that gives and him that takes）。今天选的这篇文章标题即化用了这句经典，但恰恰是以相反的口吻——“勉强的慈悲”。如出此言？因为美国农业地区严重的老龄化和极高的老年痴呆病发率令许多家庭苦不堪言，到了“对上帝感到愤怒”（get angry with God）的地步（天地不仁，以万物为刍狗）。美国正以前所未有的速度老龄化，加上年轻人口大规模涌向大城市，农业地区的人口构成越来越向65岁以上人群倾斜。而这个年龄段的美国人，每10位就有1位患有不同程度的老年痴呆，这对农业地区造成了巨大的社会和经济负担。

参考译文：年青人逃离农业社区的大迁移，加上退休人员向田园美景的回归，农业人口的构成正在向65岁以上倾斜。美国农业部近期的一份报告预测，农业地区退休年龄以上的人口将大幅增长，且人口最稀少的郡县死亡率将比最密集的高14倍。
也许要了解英国的政府治理，金斯林这个城市边缘镇并不是明显的选择。它处于“半阴影区”，经济方面几乎乏尚可陈，既不像剑桥那样发达，可以吸引大数目的投资，也不像更东边的市镇那样偏远得毫无希望。为了振兴经济，让小镇重回14世纪商贸要塞的风光，当地一些政治人士提议与周边的市镇联合组成特殊的行政区，推选出一名共同市长，以此来交换一定的财政支持。此计划响应了2015年乔治•奥斯本提出的“放权革命”，即通过地方级别的联合决策来促进经济发展。但因有人担心联合的区域过大会导致尾大不掉、无疾而终，新一届政府也不热衷于放权，所以许多计划最后都被投票否决。也就是标题所说的“空途末路”（Reaching a dead end）。
Yet in November the council voted to reject a plan for the 16 boroughs of Norfolk and Suffolk to join up in a “combined authority”, and accept a mayor for the region, known as East Anglia, in exchange for a slice of £25m funding a year for 30 years to support economic growth and the development of local infrastructure, as well as £130m for housing.词汇突破

今天的题目： A report consistently brought back by visitors to the US is how friendly, courteous, and helpful most Americans were to them.To be fair, this observation is also frequently made of Canada and Canadians, and should best be considered North American.There are, of course, exceptions.Small-minded officials, rude waiters, and ill-mannered taxi drivers are hardly unknown in the US.Yet it is an observation made so frequently that it deserves comment.55.In the eyes of visitors from the outside world, ________.[A] rude taxi drivers are rarely seen in the US[B] small-minded officials deserve a serious comment [C] Canadians are not so friendly as their neighbors[D] most Americans are ready to offer help 几年前看了部日本电影《那年夏天宁静的海》，情节我倒是影响不深刻，但是名字一直记得，好听。今天来说说爱尔兰的那片沙滩吧。爱尔兰沿岸最大的岛屿阿基尔岛Dooagh村出现了一件奇怪的事。早在三十年前就因暴风雨被冲走的海滩（washed away by storms）复活节期间竟然在一次潮汐后重新出现。成百吨的沙子随着海浪（transport sand in）留在了本已全是石头和石坑的区域，再现了1984年前的黄金海滩盛景。居民对此十分高兴（delighted to have the beach back），因为海滩可以带来更多的游客，提升当地的民生。这座小岛地处偏僻，目前依靠名人故居和作家胜地发展旅游业（1972年获得诺贝尔奖的海因里希•伯尔曾在该岛居住过）。
今天的句子：But after a freak tide around Easter this year, hundreds of tonnes of sand were deposited around the area where the beach once stood, recreating the old 300-metre stretch of golden sand.词汇突破：1.Freak 奇怪的2.Easter 复活节3.Deposit 沉积4.Recreate 重新创造5.Stretch 一片地域或水域
确定主干：hundreds of tonnes of sand were deposited around the area 切分成分+独立成句：
1.after a freak tide around Easter this year 状语 2.where the beach once stood
3.recreating the old 300-metre stretch of golden sand.=This recreates the old 300-metre stretch of golden sand.（This 指代对象是前面的整个句子。）参考译文：但今年复活节期间一次奇怪的潮汐之后，成百吨的沙子被沉积在原来海滩所处的区域，再现了昔日长达300米的黄金海滩。
昨天的解析：
A report consistently brought back by visitors to the US is how friendly, courteous, and helpful most Americans were to them.To be fair, this observation is also frequently made of Canada and Canadians, and should best be considered North American.There are, of course, exceptions.Small-minded officials, rude waiters, and ill-mannered taxi drivers are hardly unknown in the US.Yet it is an observation made so frequently that it deserves comment.去美国访问的人经常带回报告说，大多数美国人对他们友善、好客、乐于助人。公正的说，人们对加拿大人也有这样的评论，因而，应当认为这是北美普遍的现象。当然也有例外。在美国，心胸狭隘的官员，举止粗鲁的招待和毫无礼貌的出租车司机也并非罕见。尽管有不如意的地方，但因为人们常常得出美国人好客的观察意见，因而也就值得议论一番了。
55.In the eyes of visitors from the outside world, ________.[A] rude taxi drivers are rarely seen in the US
[B] small-minded officials deserve a serious comment
[C] Canadians are not so friendly as their neighbors
[D] most Americans are ready to offer help 题型识别：细节题；

这是一道特别典型的细节题：）今天的句子：
如今传统行业的经济表现几乎无法吸引大众的目光，能带来轰动效应的总是快速增长的互联网企业，例如亚马逊。但今年国际纸业公司上涨的现金流和稳定攀升的分红，让投资者不得不关注这家生产包装材料和纸类产品的传统企业。这家公司的年终股息在过去5年内平均增长12%，股票收益率高达3.5。国际纸业是全球最大的硬纸板和瓦楞包装生产商，北美每3个纸箱就有一个来自国际纸业。值得注意的整个造纸行业市场容量并没有显著的增长，反而有许多中小型企业在之前以低价换销量的恶性竞争中败下阵来。这使得国际纸业和另外四家主要竞争者可以控制70%的市场份额，更合理地制定价格、保证利润。同时电商平台的蓬勃发展也给了纸业巨头一些机遇，疯狂的节日网购缓解了第四季度例来的冷清，令现金流在整个商业周期都十分充裕。
