何凯文每日一句

or learning possible and more convenient.The topic of online learning has constantly captured wide media attention.Undoubtedly, there are both advantages and disadvantages when more and more people study online instead of attending school.On one hand, learning online will drive us to learn skill to balance study and work by choosing and deciding the timetable and course arrangement, which contributes directly to enhancing our academic performance, job hunting and promotion in a system.On the other hand, young people should be encouraged to broaden their horizons with more activities to embrace this world, which may put youngsters in a favorable position in the job market.Unfortunately, online learning can not provide students enough opportunities to do so.Although the issues brought by online education can be addressed strategically within the proper policy adopted, I still believe that learning online alone can not make a full person.The public and government should adopt more comprehensive and reasonable perspective on this trend.英国脱欧系列报道

第二篇：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：

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。

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

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。

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。

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。

Although he had little else to offer patients besides the lifestyle remedies of the Greeks, melancholia was finally thought to be at least partly biological.In subsequent years, everything from herbal remedies to opium to music therapy to spinning stools designed to make people too dizzy to feel pain fell in and out of vogue.We can learn from the passage that___.(A)herbal remedies were once in fashion to control melancholia Fashion=vogue

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。

参考译文：应对高龄是皇室的一个新挑战（亲王已经96岁），但这仅是这个特别机构现在必须面对的众多困难之一。皇室正秉着一种职业精神应对。从1992年关于温莎堡大火由纳税人埋单的争吵到1997年黛安娜王妃去世的黑暗日子里，皇室在大众心目中的地位的确受到了挑战，而之后职业精神便成了皇室典型的行事作风。

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：

At rallies and in town hall meetings, and in a collection of blue state legislatures, liberal Democrats have pressed lawmakers, with growing impatience, to support the creation of a single-payer system, in which the state or federal government would supplant private health insurance with a program of public coverage.36 美国医保体制由两大部分组成，一是政府主导的联邦医疗保险计划（Medicare）、联邦医疗补助计划（Medicaid）、儿童健康保险（CHIP）和退伍军人医保体制（VA）等，在奥巴马医改实施后的2014年总共覆盖了38%的美国人口；另一个是商业保险，覆盖了53%的美国人口。平价医疗法案自出台以来就争议不断，甚至在民主党内部一些自由派人士都认为它成效有限，倾向于采取单一形式的由政府埋单的医保制度。由民主党控制的加州参议院通过初步计划，以进行单一支付制医保系统的立法。这是自2006年和2008年前州长施瓦辛格否决相关医保法案后民主党的首次郑重尝试。

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：

疲于奔命的都市职员们对城市公共交通的抱怨与日俱增、不绝于耳。令人无法忍受的延误、拥挤和嘈杂使得纽约州州长说，这几个月是通勤人的“地狱之夏”。联邦交通委员会表示，全美的大众交通系统都欠“修理”已久，估计需要到少900亿美元的费用。哥伦比亚商学院的研究者认为，虽然外界条件无法迅速改变，仍有一些方法来改变通勤人的心理状态，减少疲劳、焦虑和压力。比如说做一件能令人专注的事，像学一门新的语言（我觉得坐地铁的时候做背单词这种平时觉得枯燥的事最能让人心静和放松）。警觉训练也是如此，通过集中过于散漫的思维，人们能够以更友善的态度面对不佳的环境，不会对陌生人无意撞了你这种常事而过于愤怒，透支本已心力交瘁的认知资源。

美国众议院议长Paul Ryan在一次制造业会议上表示，非常有信心共和党人能够一次性地纠正这个国家的税收制度，虽然前方阻碍重重。但他的讲话仅仅止步于这些美好而笼统的前瞻上，并未提及具体的细节和国会议员与本届政府之间的磋商。税收制度改革是共和党必然要进行的政治举措，因为它是该党派的核心纲领和关键的大选承诺。然而税收计划的顺利推行取决于共和党人能否部分推翻奥巴马医改，如果成功那将为税收改革扫清障碍，减少巨额的税负，这样税收改革就无需花大力气重复处理这个问题。

民用无人机进入大多数国人视野，大概还是始于抢了汪峰头条那件事。老百姓们第一次意识到原来民用无人机技术已经如此精确而成熟，可以定制服务于人生最庸常不过的一件事——求偶上。要知道以前一谈到无人机，就是美国炸了哪里。以亚马逊和IBM为首的技术巨头已经在无人机配送方面申请了若干专利，花费巨资研究了仓储管理和物流运输的无人机技术应用。而包括脸书在内的其它硅谷公司则认为把无人机等同于送快递是非常低水平的应用，无人机不应该只限于送送戒指或洒洒农药。相反脸书对无人机的研究方向在发展通讯上，通过无人机来中继卫星信号，高效低成本地向无法通过传统电缆获得因特网接入的地区提供网络信号。当然，商业无人机的未来发展将面对的障碍不仅来自技术方面，法律和监管是否能够迅速跟进，确保其能在保护安全和秩序的前提下良性发展，也是非常关键的。今天的句子：

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。

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。

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。

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）。

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。

E-commerce is also a contributor to rising demand, as supermarkets and other retail sectors increasingly embrace the trend, says Will Mies, editorial director of RISI, a research firm that tracks forest products.And while none of the three big box makers release numbers on sales related to e-commerce, IP estimates its shipments to Amazon and its ilk are growing at a double-digit pace.词汇突破：

1.contributor促成者（因素）2.embrace拥抱 3.track追踪 4.release公布 5.estimate估测

6.shipment装货；装载的货物 7.ilk亲属；一类

第一句话 确定主干：

E-commerce is also a contributor to rising demand, says Will Mies.切分成分：

1.as supermarkets and other retail sectors increasingly embrace the trend 伴随状语从句

2.editorial director of RISI 同位语 3.a research firm 同位语

4.that tracks forest products 定语从句

第二句话 确定主干：

And IP estimates(that)„ 切分成分：

1.while none of the three big box makers release numbers on sales related to e-commerce 让步状语从句

2.that its shipments to Amazon and its ilk are growing at a double-digit pace 宾语从句

参考译文：锐思林（一家关注林业制品动向的研究公司）的编辑总监Will Mies说，随着超市和其他零售行业越来越顺应趋势，电子商务也成为需求上涨的一个促成因素。虽然三大纸箱制造商均未发布过关于电子商务的数字，国际纸业公司估计其发给亚马逊等电商的货物维持着2位数的增速。

明天的句子：

However, emails released by the auditor’s office, including a new batch of emails released Friday to The Chronicle, show that Napolitano’s office went far beyond offering guidance, instead editing surveys and emailing campuses that they expected to see the final draft before surveys were sent to auditors.47

第三篇：考研英语阅读——何凯文

[顶] k哥考研英语阅读34分必杀技之---关注观点

o

每每课间游走于教室时，总能见勤勉刻苦的同学会努力的在每一个他们不认识单词的上方标出汉语意思，字迹工整，详实丰富。这可谓之正确的做事。但是每次我都会告诫同学们以后切不可如此，因为这样的标注会使自己下次复习的时，视线呈波浪状起伏，阅读到认识的单词时视线是平的，到不认识处，视线自然上升。这样其实不是在阅读英文而是在阅读中文，以后再看到满页的英文时还是会觉得恐惧。阅读的能力依然很难提高。所以我们虽然在正确的做事，却没有做正确的事。

英语考研阅读理解A节中30%的考题是含有考研英语特有思路的，也就是说：“即使掌握了英语的基本技能（词汇，句子和语篇分析能力），如果不了解考研的出题思路，在面对选项时，考生依然很难做出正确的选择。”1所以盲目的对句子进行分析，而不从出题人的设计思路上入手，这样很容易掉入出题人设计的陷阱。“一艘大海中没有目标的航船，来自任何一个方向的风都是逆风。”“任何伟大的胜利都是思维的胜利”。所以我们必须首先找准目标，理清思路这样才能无往而不利，在万千化境中保持那份“大好河山都陷了，至少这理还在的”从容。

（一）考研的文体到底是什么？

这个话题是被很多学生忽视的问题，甚至包括很多老师对这个问题的重视程度都不够。我们往往就是停留在知道《Economist》（经济学人）上的很多文章是考研出题人所青睐的。但在分类的时候还是将文章分为：说明文和议论文。“面对议论文时我们要关注作者和文中其他人所谈到的观点。面对说明文时我们重点是考察重要细节和概念性的描述。”这是常识。而在考研的科普文中，我们一旦陷入关注细节的和概念性描述的常识性认识之中，我们就很难将一些题目作对。经济学人在英文世界中的地位很像我国的《读书》杂志，在上面发表文章的人都是英文世界中的文胆级的人物，而考研出题人所选取的文章也更多的是偏向人文社科和经济类的文章，和针砭时弊，嬉笑怒骂，自成一派的反思性文章。即使选取的是科普类的文章，文中更多的也是对人物观点进行评论，所以我们必须形成清醒的认识：考研阅读的文体就是议论文，哪怕是科普性的文章也是侧重对文中观点进行考察。

（二）题干的作用是什么？

在阅读的标准化试题中，我们都可以把阅读分为三个部分：原文，题干和选项。原文是解题的依据，题干是解题的路标，选项是解题的关键。而对于考研阅读中题干的路标作用同学们的理解并不深刻，很多时候老师在解析的时候也更多在关注选项间的区别，以及和原文的对应。认真关注题干，才是我们要做的正确的事。首先看第一个例子：

And this process need not be left to the unconscious.Cartwright believes one can exercise conscious control over recurring bad dreams.As soon as you awaken, identify what is upsetting about the dream.Visualize how you would like it to end instead;the next time it occurs, try to wake up just enough to control its course.With

much practice people can learn to, literally, do it in their sleep.（2005年passage3）

34.Cartwright seems to suggest that ________.A）waking up in time is essential to the ridding of bad dreams

B）visualizing bad dreams helps bring them under control

C）dreams should be left to their natural progression

D）dreaming may not entirely belong to the unconscious

这是一篇写如何控制梦的文章，从题材上讲是科普类的文章，但是整个文章都在讲述一个核心的观点。如果能从观点议论的角度出发，这篇文章中的很多难题都能迎刃而解。

34题当年的难度系数为：0.3712，也就是只有37.1%的同学作对了这个题，属于考研典型题目。

首先看一下题干：卡特莱特似乎在暗示________.问题是在问文中人物的观点，因此这个题干直接就把我们带到了段落的第二句：Cartwright believes one can exercise conscious control over recurring bad dreams.（卡特莱特认为人们可以练习有意识地控制噩梦的重演）believe就是题干中suggest的同意表述。如果我们牢记观点对应观点的法则，这个题很容易选出D选项---梦可能并不完全的是无意识的。而如果仔细阅读后面的内容你会发现其他选项有极强的迷惑性。

A)waking up in time is essential to the ridding of bad dreams.及时的醒来对于摆脱噩梦非常重要。

文中有谈到 try to wake up just enough to control its course，但只是说到这个事实，Cartwright没有对这个事实的性质做出评价，所以essential是错误点。

B）visualizing bad dreams helps bring them under control

想象噩梦有助于我们控制它们。

文中谈到的是Visualize how you would like it to end instead;

想象一下噩梦是怎么结束的，而不是想象噩梦本身。1所以bad dream成为错误点。

C）dreams should be left to their natural progression

应该让梦自然推进。

这个选项干扰性不强，可以直接排除。

而A,B两个选项却是让人在短时间内很难排除，但如果我们紧扣题干，相信路标，先做正确的事，那么我们就能避过考试出题人的干扰陷阱，直击正确选项D。2009年考研第二篇文章再次出现了这样的题目，并且思路和意图更加明显。

But some observers are skeptical, “There is a kind of false precision being hawked by people claiming they are doing ancestry testing,” says Troy Duster, a New York University sociologist.He notes that each individual has many ancestors-numbering in the hundreds just a few centuries back.Yet most ancestry testing only considers a single lineage, either the Y chromosome inherited through men in a father’s line or mitochondrial DNA, which a passed down only from mothers.This DNA can reveal genetic information about only one or two ancestors, even though, for example, just three generations back people also have six other great-grandparents or, four

generations back, 14 other great-great-grandparents.28.Skeptical observers believe that ancestry testing fails to _____.A）trace distant ancestors

B）rebuild reliable bloodlines

C）fully use genetic information

D）achieve the claimed accuracy

依然先看一下题干：持怀疑态度的观察家认为家谱检测未能_____.问题同样是在问文中人物的观点，因此这个题干直接就把我们带到了段落的第一句But some observers are skeptical, “There is a kind of false precision being hawked by people claiming they are doing ancestry testing,” says Troy Duster, a New York

University sociologist.但有些观察家对此表示怀疑的。纽约大学的社会学家特洛伊.达斯特说，“声称自己在做家谱测试的人正在吹嘘一种虚假的精确性。”同样道理believe就是题干中的says，这个社会学家就是怀疑者中的一个，他的观点代表的就是怀疑者的观点，因此我们很清晰可以看出D选项---达到（检测者）所声称的精确度，为对刚才那句话的同意替换，是正确答案。我们要是以后面的内容作为选择依据我们将被迷惑项搞得痛苦不堪，尤其是选项C。

我们先解决到A和B

A）trace distant ancestors

追溯年代久远的祖先

文中说most ancestry testing only considers a single lineage只考虑了单线的祖先，而不是说找不到年代久远的祖先，轻松排除。

B）rebuild reliable bloodlines

重建可靠的血统谱系

文中说This DNA can reveal genetic information about only one or two

ancestors，这种测试只能告知不完全的血统谱系，而不是说不能重建可靠的血统谱系。

最后看看C选项，这个选项在教育部的考试分析中我们可以看到这个选项时是错选率最高的，在错选答案中占到了89% 3也就是这个题做错的同学几乎都是错选的这个选项。

Fail to C）fully use genetic information

(未能)完整的利用基因信息

文章中Yet most ancestry testing only considers a single lineage只考虑了单线的祖先；This DNA can reveal genetic information about only one or two ancestors，这种测试只能告知不完全的血统谱系；几乎所有的线索都指向了答案C。但先仔细对比一下这两种说法：

1)Fully use genetic information;2）use full genetic information;

前一个强调的是使用这个动作的完整性；后一个强调的是使用对象的完整性。显然你就知道C选项是不对的了。

但是在考场上很少有同学能思考到这个层次，在D和C之间徘徊的时候请牢牢地记住了，问题在问观点是什么，就不要去选对观点的分析了。

再次强调：紧扣题干，找准路标，问观点就找观点，先做正确的事，再正确的去做事。

第四篇：何凯文 2014寒假英语复习计划

何凯文 2014寒假英语复习计划

2013考研英语的硝烟还未完全散尽，2014的战士们就已经蓄势待发了，有人会提出质疑这么早就进入备考状态会不会容易疲惫或者容易扼杀我们的创造力。首先回答这两个问题：（1）有节奏的计划和安排可以有助于我们在备考的时候合理分配时间和体力。（2）应试性的准备肯定会扼杀创造力，但是我们如果连被承认的可能都没有就更谈不上展现创造了，所以考研的目的对于很多考生来讲就是获得一个可以展现自己能力的机会。如果还有人担心说创造力被扼杀了，那只能说明你自己生命力太弱，趁早没了也罢。在中国这样一个残酷的国度中你不能在各种考试的扼杀中继续保持创造力你就不能叫真正成功。所以打消一些的犹豫和彷徨开始我们的寒假复习之旅吧！

从2013年考研英语真题的命题特点来看，基础的把握依然是重中之重，基础是什么，基础就是读懂句子，只有把句子读懂了做题才能真正的游刃有余，既然我们有时间又何必一开始就把希望寄托在一些所谓的技巧之上呢？你们之前的学长学姐们一定有深刻的体会，越是酷炫的技巧其实越需要超强的实力作为支撑，就好像踢球一样，再牛的技战术安排，如果球员连球的都停不稳，全是白搭。同样的道理，学习游泳的人如果连换气都不会，再漂亮的泳姿都是不可能做到的。所以读懂句子对于阅读来讲就相当于停球和换气一样是必须掌握的基本技能。

那怎么样才能读懂句子呢？

（一）单词的正确学习

单词要真的彻底掌握我个人建议完成以下几件事情。

第一件：排查归档

既然是应试，并且教育部还特意给出了考研英语的词汇大纲，所以掌握大纲词汇在这个寒假就是必须要做的了，5560个词汇首先可以进行一次排查归档，这个工作可以参看在微盘中提供的大纲词汇文档。这个工作请同学们抽出三天时间来完成：

第一类词汇：“黑色词汇”也可以叫做“形同陌路”或称之为“崭新词汇”；也就是完全不认识的词汇。第二类词汇：“白色词汇”也可以叫做“一见如故”或称之为“熟悉词汇”也就是不在需要你记忆的词汇

第三类词汇：“灰色词汇”也可以叫做“似曾相识”或称之为“模糊词汇”这部分词汇对于绝大部分同学来讲是主体部分，需要重点克服。

第二件：科学方法

记单词的过程中有很多方法，重点推荐同学们一些方法：

第一种： 根据音标记单词

这是最原始，最没有技巧，但却是大多数英语专业的同学都在使用的方法，也是我从大学以来背单词用的方法，知道一个单词的音标之后，根

据发音的一些规则记住发音然后再来记单词，并且对于以后口语的提高也有很大的帮助，因为只会记单词不知道准确的读音将是非常大的一块缺失。

基础不好的同学可以先把上面的音标熟悉了。

有了自己朗读时的正确的发音的刺激，单词记忆会更容易的。

方法二：各种为记单词而研发的方法

这些方法就相对比较繁多了，不过纵观各种记单词的方法我还是推荐刘一男老师的记单词的方法，不是由于我们现在是同事，而是刘老师在这个方面确实付出了很多的努力，用心去研发了这样一套记忆的体系，对单词的前世今生做了相对完整的阐释，同时也不失风趣，所以可以访问刘老师的微博

@刘一男。

第三件：定出科学的计划

建议大家在寒假里面可以选取一本词汇书，这里我推荐由我编写的《考研英语词汇必考词汇突破全书》或者是刘一男老师编写的《考研英语词汇速记指南》。当然你也可以有自己的选择，不过方法和计划是通用的。就以我的《必考词汇突破全书》为例：

在你自己统计了自己的分类文档之后，就可以以每两天一个LIST的进度推进了，这样就有了两套推进系统，更有自主性，这里一共21个LISTS

应该能在这个相对时间比较充裕的寒假完成第一遍的学习。特别提醒第一遍的学习重点是完成记忆，不要太奢求记忆的效果，毕竟我们还有一年的时间才最后考试。有了第一遍的基础，在开学后学习会轻松很多。每天抽出的时间也定在两个小时为宜。

第四件：学习的内容

考研词汇的学习一定包括：单词记忆；同意替换；典型例句这三个部分；这三个部分缺一不可。尤其是同意替换和典型例句这是击破考研阅读的不二法门！必须重点阅读和学习！同时一些词汇在考研这样的特殊语境下所呈现出来的相对不常见和不同于词典的释意。这是开学以后我们会作为专题进行讲解的，假期不用花太多时间来学习。

（二）句子结构的学习

很多同学对于英语学习的恐惧在很大程度上就是来由于不会句子结构的分析。这个坎是一定要迈出去的，尤其是对于考研英语而言更是这样的。但是我们没有必要从最细化的语法结构开始学习，毕竟我们不是语法专业的，我们只需要掌握使用的句子结构知识就可以了。这里给同学们推荐由我编写的《考研英语长难句解密》一书，这是很多同学都很熟悉的书籍了，非常薄但是内容很丰富，如果用一个图来表示那就是这个图了

在这本书的后面有66个句子，这66个句子每个句子都是非常经典的考研英语句子。学习这些句子有三个好处： 其一：每个句子中都有核心的考研英语词汇，这样就有了第三套记忆系统了（排查词表，必考词汇，句子中单词）这样三个系统交相辉映，必定会是五彩纷呈，便于记忆的！

其二：每个句子的结构都是非常典型的，非常适合我们用作检验我们句子结构学习效果的材料。

其三：每个句子的结构还适合我们用作造句练习，我们可以看着历年的考研英语作文真题，看看有没有可能对句子中的一些单词进行替换后用到我们的某年真题的写作中。等着大家写出好句子哦。

建议时间安排：

5天的时间系统的学习长难句解密的理论部分。

然后以每天两句的速度推进，建议是能背诵句子，如果觉得背诵有难度那就学习前面提到的三个好处即可。在这个部分每天的学习时间在一个半小时。

（三）语境的构建

有了单词有了句子，我们还需要做的事情是把句子放到文章中去。下学期一开学我们的任务肯定是学习真题，但是从现在开始我们就应该阅读一些和真题难度一致的文章。并且，只有把单词和句子放到一篇完整的文章中才能真正体会的到语言的真谛。这里推荐《考研英语阅读同源外刊时文精析》，同学们也可以选择相似的阅读材料。这本书的特点是选材狠很新，题材很有趣，可读性强，适合刚开始学习的同学阅读。

阅读文章适合一天一篇，不主张一开始对文章的每个句子都进行语法分析，主张文章最好阅读三遍。

第一遍：通读全文，争取在有语言障碍的情况下大致把握文章的大意。阅读的时候可以标示出有问题的地方。第二遍：集中清除障碍，尤其是那些影响你把握全文主题的关键障碍，包括词汇和结构，如果后面有解析不到位的地方可以到微博上评论询问，我一定回答。

第三遍：最后再通读全文，以及中文翻译，争取能大致复述，也就是当一个故事讲给你周围的朋友听。这项任务希望大家控制在一个半小时之内。

这样在寒假期间就希望同学们拿出5个小时学习语言。听上去挺多的，其实合理安

排好时间，这5个小时是很容易抽出来的，学会时间管理吧！

有了这样的基础，开学后你们将会真的获得一个特别不一样的英语学习境界！那里的风光会特别美！
