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
Last week I went to the theatre. I had a very good seat. The play was very interesting. I did not enjoy it. A young man and a young woman were sitting behind me. They were talking loudly. I got very angry. I could not hear the actors. I turned round. I looked at the man and the woman angrily. They did not pay any attention. In the end, I could not bear it. I turned round again, ‘I can't hear a word!' I said angrily.
'It's none of your business’, the young man said rudely. 'This is a private conversation!'
短文翻译
上周我去看戏了。我的座位很好。这出戏很有趣。但我看得不爽。一男一女坐在我后面，他们在大声说话。我非常生气。我听不见演员的声音。我转过身来，生气地看着那对男女，他们没有理会。最后，我受不了了。我又转过身来，“我一个字也听不见！”我生气地说。
“这不关你的事，”年轻人粗鲁地说,"这是私人谈话"。
