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。
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)
To Microsoft's critics, the fates of Wunderlist and Sunrise are examples of a remorseless(持续恶化的) drive by Big Tech to chew up any innovative companies that lie in their path. “They bought the seedlings(幼苗) and closed them down, " complained Paul Arnold, a partner at San Francisco-based Switch Ventures, putting an end to businesses that might one day turn into competitors. Microsoft declined(拒绝) to comment.

题目解析
32.【解析】 根据Microsoft’s critics和big tech companies可定位到原文第三段第四行,putting an end to businesses that might one day turn into competitors.(消灭有朝一日可能成为竞争对手的企业) Putting an end相当于eliminate。同义替换,故选C选项eliminate their potential competitors(清除他们未来的竞争者)。 【A】项:夸大他们的产品质量,无中生有;【B】项:不公平地对待新技术人才,针对的是新兴公司,偷换对象;【D】项:忽视公众意见,文章最后一句之说微软拒绝评论,不等于忽视公众意见,无中生有。
