2022年考研人數(shù)逐年增加，競爭之激烈使得我們不得不加急復(fù)習(xí)的日程。眾所周知，閱讀理解占據(jù)了考研英語二100分試卷的一半分值，而考研英語閱讀文章大多來自英美國家的主流報刊雜志，所以如果能在日常就多多閱讀這些文章，對以后讀懂文章做對題目來說會大有裨益。但是對大多數(shù)備考的同學(xué)來說，剛開始投入復(fù)習(xí)，就去讀考試文章難度的新聞報刊，也是不現(xiàn)實(shí)、并且不符合循序漸進(jìn)的學(xué)習(xí)規(guī)律的，所以我們會在每次推送中，給大家給出兩篇短文，一篇是初階水平（大致在初高中水平）；一篇是高階水平（四六級到考研水平）；同學(xué)們可以根據(jù)自己當(dāng)前的情況，選擇其中一篇進(jìn)行學(xué)習(xí)。
學(xué)習(xí)步驟如下：
1.不看漢語譯文自己看一遍短文做理解
2.看漢語譯文比對自己理解的意思與之出入
3.強(qiáng)化記憶重點(diǎn)單詞（以記憶其漢語意思為主）

As autonomous vehicles become more popular, some researchers remain worried about potential safety issues.Digital Trends reports researchers from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have been looking at the differences between autonomous systems learning in training and real world issues.A model by MIT and Microsoft researchers is testing what the cars will do when the training they have "learned" doesn't match what is happening on the road.Author of the paper Ramya Ramakrishnan said in a statement."Many times, when these systems are deployed, their trained simulations don't match the real-world setting and they could make mistakes, such as getting into accidents."

隨著自動駕駛汽車越來越受歡迎，一些研究人員仍然擔(dān)心潛在的安全問題。麻省理工學(xué)院的研究人員一直在研究自主系統(tǒng)在訓(xùn)練與現(xiàn)實(shí)問題之間的差異。麻省理工學(xué)院和微軟研究人員制作的模型正在測試：當(dāng)汽車“學(xué)到"的訓(xùn)練與實(shí)際道路情況不匹配時，汽車會發(fā)生什么情況。論文作者Ramya Ramakrishnan表示：“很多時候，當(dāng)系統(tǒng)部署之后，模擬訓(xùn)練與現(xiàn)實(shí)環(huán)境不匹配時，汽車可能會出錯，比如發(fā)生事故?！?

The second culprit cited by Ms Hertz is “neoliberalism”, which she defines as a “minimum state, maximum markets” approach. But it is hard to believe that state retreat is ①as decisive a factor in the loneliness pandemic as she suggests; after all, in 1990 the government of the average advanced economy spent 42% of GDP, and the proportion is the same today, according to the IMF.
Some changes in behaviour are down to individual choice. Before the pandemic no one was stopping people going to church or taking part in sports. They simply preferred to do other things. Indeed, one reason for the decline in communal activities is that men choose to be with their families rather than head to the bar; American fathers spend three times③as much time with their children as they did in the 1960s. That is surely a welcome development.

赫茲女士提到的第二個罪魁禍?zhǔn)资恰靶伦杂芍髁x”，她將其定義為“最小國家，最大市場”的方法。但很難相信，國家倒退是她所謂的孤獨(dú)大流行的決定性因素；畢竟，根據(jù)國際貨幣基金組織的數(shù)據(jù)，1990年發(fā)達(dá)經(jīng)濟(jì)體的政府平均支出占GDP的42%，而今天的支出所占比例也是一樣的。
行為上的一些變化取決于個人的選擇。在新冠疫情之前，沒有人阻止人們?nèi)ソ烫没騾⒓芋w育活動。他們只是更喜歡做其他事情。事實(shí)上，公共活動減少的一個原因是，男性選擇與家人呆在一起，而不是去酒吧；美國父親與子女在一起的時間是20世紀(jì)60年代時的三倍，這無疑是一個可喜的發(fā)展。
