2022年考研人数逐年增加,竞争之激烈使得我们不得不加急复习的日程。众所周知,阅读理解占据了考研英语二100分试卷的一半分值,而考研英语阅读文章大多来自英美国家的主流报刊杂志,所以如果能在日常就多多阅读这些文章,对以后读懂文章做对题目来说会大有裨益。但是对大多数备考的同学来说,刚开始投入复习,就去读考试文章难度的新闻报刊,也是不现实、并且不符合循序渐进的学习规律的,所以我们会在每次推送中,给大家给出两篇短文,一篇是初阶水平(大致在初高中水平);一篇是高阶水平(四六级到考研水平);同学们可以根据自己当前的情况,选择其中一篇进行学习。
学习步骤如下:
1.不看汉语译文自己看一遍短文做理解
2.看汉语译文比对自己理解的意思与之出入
3.强化记忆重点单词(以记忆其汉语意思为主)
初阶文段
Fishing is my favourite sport. I often fish for hours without catching anything. But this does not worry me. Some fishermen are unlucky. Instead of catching fish, they catch old boots and rubbish. I am even less lucky. I never catch anything — not even old boots. After having spent whole mornings on the river, I always go home with an empty bag." You must give up fishing!" my friends say. "It's a waste of time. But they don't realize one important thing. I'm not really interested in fishing. I am only interested in sitting in a boat and doing nothing at all!
短文翻译
钓鱼是我最喜欢的运动。我经常钓上几个小时什么也没钓到。但我并不担心。有些渔民很不幸。他们抓的不是鱼,而是旧靴子和垃圾。我就更不走运了。我什么都抓不到,连旧靴子也抓不到。在河里呆了一上午之后,我总是空着袋子回家。“你必须放弃钓鱼!”我的朋友说这是浪费时间,但他们没有意识到一件重要的事。我对钓鱼不太感兴趣。我只对坐在船上无所事事感兴趣!
