考研人數(shù)逐年增加,競爭之激烈使得我們不得不加急復(fù)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(xué)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)
What makes this slump different from the last, he says, is that there are still buyers in the market. Almost everyone who was interviewed for this special report said that the biggest problem at the moment is not a lack of demand but a lack of good work to sell. The three Ds—death, debt and divorce—still deliver works of art to the market. But anyone who does not have to sell is keeping away, waiting for confidence to return.
短文翻譯
他表示,這次衰退與上一次的不同之處在于這次市場上仍有買家。幾乎所有接受這次特別報道采訪的人都說,目前最大的問題不是缺乏買家,而是缺乏可以出售的好作品。這個3D組合一死亡、債務(wù)和離婚仍在向藝術(shù)品市場提供作品。但是,任何不需要出售作品的人都在遠離市場,等待信心的回歸。

題目解析
24.【答案】C. factors promoting artwork circulation
【解析】根據(jù)“the last paragraph”和信號詞“the three Ds”可回文定位到尾段倒數(shù)第二句:The three Ds—death, debt and divorce—still deliver works of art to the market. “三 D 因素—死亡、債務(wù)、和離婚—依然會把藝術(shù)品推向市場。”詞匯推斷題的思路是跳出詞匯本身,依據(jù)其前后信息的綜合分析找到線索。3Ds 緊隨其后的謂語部分“still deliver works of art to the market”與 C 項:促進藝術(shù)作品流通的因素,相對應(yīng),所以 C 項正確。A 項的 auction houses’favorites和B項中的 contemporary trends 在文章均未提到,屬于無中生有干擾項。D項中的Impressionists出自第四段句首,但與本選項毫無關(guān)系,故此項亦屬于無中生有項。
25.【解析】主旨題的思路是對整篇文章的高度概括,考生可將各段的首句信息做綜合處理。這篇文章的每一段的第一句幾乎都有“art market”這個詞,即“藝術(shù)品市場”,而且通過文章的閱讀,我們很容易抓住藝術(shù)品市場不景氣這一主旨,因此C項正確。A項“藝術(shù)品價格的波動”和B項“最新的藝術(shù)品拍賣”包含的內(nèi)容太少,沒有從整體上概括全文。D項“對文科興趣的轉(zhuǎn)向”則有些混淆視聽的效果。Arts 一詞可以指學(xué)科類別中的文科門類,也可以與定冠詞一起泛指藝術(shù)。
