計劃說明
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。但是對大多數備考的同學來說，剛開始投入復習，就去讀考試文章難度的新聞報刊，也是不現實、并且不符合循序漸進的學習規律的，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）；同學們可以根據自己當前的情況，選擇其中一篇進行學習。
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）
初階文段
The Olympic Games will be held in our country in four years’ time. As a great many people will be visiting the country, the government will be building new hotels, an immense stadium, and a new Olympic-standard swimming pool. They will also be building new roads and a special railway line. The Games will be held just outside the capital and the whole area will be called ‘Olympic City’. Workers will have completed the new roads by the end of this year. By the end of next year, they will have finished work on the new stadium. The fantastic modern buildings have been designed by Kurt Gunter. Everybody will be watching anxiously as the new buildings go up. We are all very excited and are looking forward to the Olympic Games because they have never been held before in this country.
短文翻譯
奧運會將在四年后在我國舉行。由于許多人將訪問這個國家，政府將建造新的旅館、一個巨大的體育場和一個新的奧林匹克標準游泳池。他們還將修建新的公路和鐵路專線。奧運會將在首都郊外舉行，整個地區將被稱為“奧林匹克之城”。工人們將在今年年底前修好新路。到明年年底，他們將完成新體育場的工程。這些絕倫的現代建筑是由庫爾特·岡特設計的。所有人都將期盼地關注新大樓拔地而起。我們都非常興奮，期待著奧運會的到來，因為奧運會從來沒有在這個國家舉辦過。
