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習的日程。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)備考的同學來說,剛開始投入復習,就去讀考試文章難度的新聞報刊,也是不現(xiàn)實、并且不符合循序漸進的學習規(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);同學們可以根據(jù)自己當前的情況,選擇其中一篇進行學習。
學習步驟如下:
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.強化記憶重點單詞(以記憶其漢語意思為主)
初階文段
Over the past few years, Dollar General has been aggressively expanding across the United States.Analysts say that the rate the retailer is growing is "unthinkable" in this day and age, when so many brick and mortar stores are struggling.But according to Business Insider, Dollar General has no plans of slowing down either.The company plans to open 975 more locations in 2019.While over-saturation is a potential risk for Dollar General, Dollar's stores are less expensive to create, and they can be put up and taken down more quickly.
