考研人數逐年增加，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。

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）

But switching to a mainly plant-based素食的 diet wouldn't help. There is a good reason why the UK is dominated by（由……主導） animal husbandry(畜牧業）: most of its terrain（土地） doesn't have the right soil or climate to grow crops on a commercial basis. Just 25 per cent of the country's land is suitable for crop-growing, most of which is already occupied by arable fields（耕地）. Even if （即使）we converted all the suitable land to fields of fruit and veg -which would involve taking out all the nature reserves（自然保護區） and removing thousands of people from their homes -we would achieve only a 30 per cent boost in crop production.

短文翻譯

但是轉向以農作物為主的飲食也無濟于事。英國以畜牧業為主導有一個充分的理由:大部分地區沒有適合商業化種植作物的土壤或氣候。該國只有25%的土地適合種植農作物，其中大部分已經被耕地占用。即使我們把所有適宜的土地都改種水果和蔬菜--這將破壞所有的自然保護區，并使成千上萬的人離開家園--我們也只能使農作物產量增加 30%。

題目解析

28.【解析】由“crop-growing”定位至“most of its terrain doesn't have the right soil or climate to grow crops on a commercial basis.”（它的大部分地形都沒有合適的土壤或氣候來商業種植農作物。），由此可知，農作物種植被“restricted”限制的原因是【A】its natural conditions（自然條件）。
