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。
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)
In the popular imagination, of course, guilt still gets a bad rap. It is deeply uncomfortable—it’s the emotional equivalent of wearing a jacket weighted with stones. Yet this understanding is outdated. “There has been a kind of revival or a rethinking about what guilt is and what role guilt can serve,” says Amrisha Vaish, a psychology researcher at the University of Virginia, adding that this revival is part of a larger recognition that emotions aren’t binary—feelings that may be advantageous in one context may be harmful in another. Jealousy and anger, for example, may have evolved to alert us to important inequalities. Too much happiness can be destructive.
短文翻譯
當然,人們還是普遍認為內(nèi)疚感并不是什么好事。它讓人感到非常不舒服一就如同身穿一件有許多石頭的夫克那般難受。然而這種理解已經(jīng)過時了。“內(nèi)疚感是什么,又會起到什么作用,這樣的問題已經(jīng)再度興起或重新引起人們的思考,”弗吉尼亞大學心理學研究員阿穆璃沙?瓦依希指出,并補充道,這種重新思考是對情緒更廣泛認知的一部分,即情堵不是二元對立的一一在某種情景下可能有利的情緒在另一種情景下則可能是有害的。例如嫉妒和憤怒可能會演變?yōu)榫?讓我們注意到重大的不平等現(xiàn)象。過多的快樂也可能具有破壞性。

題目解析
22.【答案】B. burdensome
【解析】 根據(jù)題干可知這是一個典型的細節(jié)題。根據(jù)題干關鍵信息 “paragraph 2, “ many people still consider guild to be”定位到第二段,最終鎖定對本段第二句話的理解,尤其關鍵的是對第二句話中破折號的理解,“it is deeply uncomfortable—it’s the emotional equivalent of wearing a jacket weighted with stones. ” (這種感覺非常不舒服,就像穿著一件石頭做的夾克一樣) , 對比所給四個選項,只有 B 項“burdensome”(負擔沉重的,繁重的)與原文表述一致,故為最佳答案。A項“deceptive” (欺騙的) C項“addictive”(上癮的) 以及D項“inexcusable” (不可原諒的)均與原文表述不一致,故排除。
23.【答案】D. an emotion can play opposing roles
【解析】根據(jù)題干可知這是一個典型的細節(jié)題。根據(jù)題干關鍵信息 “Vaish holds that …awareness that.” 定位本文的第二段 “There has been a kind of revival or a rethinking …can serve.”但是這句話是他的觀點句,也就是題干信息所在句,本句沒有答案,因此,根據(jù)線性思維,下文他又繼續(xù)補充到“adding that this revival is a psychology researcher…..in another ”(這種復興是更大的認識的一部分,即情緒不是二元情感,在一個情境中有利的情緒在另一個情境中可能是有害的), 對比四個選項,只有 D“an emotion can play opposing roles” (情緒可以起到相反的作用) 為最佳答案。A項“emotions are context-independent”(情緒與語境無關)與原文表述相反。B 項“emotions are socially constructive”(從社會角度講,情緒具有積極性) 在文中沒有提及。C項“emotional stability can benefit health”(情緒穩(wěn)定有益與身體健康) 在文中沒有提及,故排除。
