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）

Given their combined market value of more than $5.5 trillion, rifling through such small deals -many of them much less prominent than Wunderlist and Sunrise -might seem beside the point. Between them, the five biggest tech companies have spent an average of only $3.4 billion a year on sub-$1 billion acquisitions over the past five years -a drop in the ocean compared with their massive financial reserves, and the more than $130 billion of venture capital that was invested in the US last year.

However, critics say the big companies use such deals to buy their most threatening potential competitors before their businesses have a chance to gain momentum, in some cases as part of a “buy and kill” tactic to simply close them down.

短文翻譯

考慮到它們的總市值超過5.5萬億美元，審查這樣的小交易--其中很多都沒有 Wunderlist和 Sunise 那么引人注目--可能顯得無關緊要。在過去五年中這五家最大的科技公司平均每年僅花費34億美元用于10億美元以下的收購，與其龐大的財務儲備以及它們在美國1300億美元的風險投資相比，這只是滄海一粟。

但是，批評家們說，大公司在初創企業有機會獲得發展動力之前，利用此類交易購買最具威脅的潛在競爭對手，某些情況下這是“先買后殺”戰略的一部分，簡單粗暴地將其關閉。

題目解析

35.【解析】根據題干的five biggest tech companies 定位到原文第六段第三行 the biggest tech company have spent an average of only $3.4 billion....a drop in the ocean 意思是滄海一粟，九牛一毛，故對大公司而言，這點收購小公司的錢構不成財政壓力。故選B選項brought little financial pressure（幾乎不構成財政壓力）。
