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)
Another nationwide concern is whether public funds from other agencies are going into construction in fire-prone districts. As Moritz puts it, how often are federal dollars building homes that are likely to be lost to a wildfire?
“It’s already a huge problem from a public expenditure perspective for the whole country,” he says. “We need to take a magnifying glass to that. Like, ‘Wait a minute is this OK?’ Do we want instead to redirect those funds to concentrate on lower-hazard parts of the landscape?”
Such a view would require a corresponding shift in the way US society today views fire, researchers say.

另一個全國關注的問題是其它部門的公共積金是否會用于易受火災影響地區的建設。正如莫里茲所說,聯邦政府房屋建設資金有多少幾率會損失在一場森林火災之中?
“從全國公共開支的角度來看,它已經成為一個重大的問題,”他說道。“我們需要帶上放大鏡來看待此事。例如,等一等,這樣做是不是可以?我們是不是要把那些資金改投到土地風險更低的地方?”
研究者們說,這種看法將要求當今美國社會適時的改變看待火災的方式。

題目解析
37.【解析】本題目為具體細節題。根據題干的關鍵詞a magnifying glass和大寫字母Moritz定位到第四段第二句,目的就是最后一句。本句提到“to redirect those funds”,重新規劃這些資金,本段首句也提及a huge problem from...public expenditure。正確答案D的guarantee safer spending是對這兩句的完全概括,討論公共基金如何更好花費的問題。干擾項A提到fund,但未說raise more,添加無關內容;選項B與原文剛好相反,不是avoid避免;選項C是對原文lower-hazard parts of the landscape的偷換概念。
