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）

The pattern was observed by political scientist Andrew Hacker in the late 1970s. Sociologist Catherine Kohler Riessman reports in her new book Divorce Talk that most of the women she interviewed—but only a few of the men—gave lack of communication as the reason for their divorces. Given the current divorce rate of nearly 50 percent, that amounts to millions of cases in the United States every year – a virtual epidemic of failed conversation.

短文翻譯

20世紀70年代末,政治學家安德魯·哈克對這種模式進行了觀察。社會學家凱瑟琳·科勒·里斯曼在她的新書《離婚談》中提到,她采訪的大多數女性——但只有少數男性——認為缺乏溝通是造成她們離婚的原因。鑒于當前的離婚率接近50%,也就是說美國每年有數百萬的離婚案件一這實際上是一種溝通失敗導致的“流行病”。

[B] nearly 50 percent of recent divorces are caused by failed conversation

題目解析

28.【解析】本題是細節題中的排除題，此類題題干往往缺乏信號詞，所以需要根據答案中的關鍵詞回到文章中定位。選項 B 可定位到文章第三段尾句：Given the current divorce rate of nearly 50 percent...，經比照可發現原文只是提到“目前美國離婚率為 50%”，但沒有說“50%”的離婚率是由溝通失敗造成的，所B項錯誤，是本題正確答案。A、D均可定位到文章第二段首句：although American men tend to talk more than women in public situations, they often talk less at home.所以 A、D 兩項是正確的。選項C可以定位到第四段第二句：Instead, they focused on communication,故C項也正確。

*本題選擇的是唯一一個錯誤的選項，注意all of the follwing are true except 題型！
