計劃說明
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(xí)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。但是對大多數(shù)備考的同學(xué)來說，剛開始投入復(fù)習(xí)，就去讀考試文章難度的新聞報刊，也是不現(xiàn)實、并且不符合循序漸進(jìn)的學(xué)習(xí)規(guī)律的，所以我們會在每次推送中，給大家給出兩篇短文，一篇是初階水平（大致在初高中水平）；一篇是高階水平（四六級到考研水平）；同學(xué)們可以根據(jù)自己當(dāng)前的情況，選擇其中一篇進(jìn)行學(xué)習(xí)。
學(xué)習(xí)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(qiáng)化記憶重點單詞（以記憶其漢語意思為主）
初階文段
I was having dinner at a restaurant when Tony Steele came in. Tony worked in a lawyer's office years ago, but he is now working at a bank. He gets a good salary, but he always borrows money from his friends and never pays it back. Tony saw me and came and sat at the same table. He has never borrowed money from me. While he was eating, I asked him to lend me twenty pounds. To my surprise, he gave me the moneyimmediately.“ I have never borrowed any money from you” Tony said, “so now you can pay for my dinner!”
短文翻譯
托尼·斯蒂爾進(jìn)來時，我正在一家餐館吃晚飯。托尼幾年前在律師事務(wù)所工作，但現(xiàn)在在銀行工作。他薪水很高，但他總是向朋友借錢，又從不還錢。托尼看見我就過來坐在同一張桌子旁。他從未問我借過錢。他吃飯時，我讓他借給我二十英鎊。令我吃驚的是，他馬上把錢給了我。“我從來沒有向你借過錢，”托尼說，“所以現(xiàn)在你可以幫我付飯錢了！”

高階文段
The pandemic was a boon for some. Once the shock of lockdownsfaded, stockmarkets climbed towards new records, in part because of the soaring share prices of tech firms. Zoom meetings became a feature for office employees sent home to work remotely (Zoomfatigue was soon a common gripe). As online shopping flourished, Amazon recruited hundreds of thousands of extra staff. Jeff Bezos, Amazon’s boss, saw his wealth increase from $111bn in March to $185bn in December. The combined wealth of the world’s ten richest people grew by 57%, to $1.14trn.
