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）
Parkrun is not a race but a time trial: Your only competitor is the clock. The ethos welcomes anybody. There is as much joy over a puffed-out first-timer being clapped over the line as there is about top talent shining. The Olympic bidders, by contrast, wanted to get more people doing sport and to produce more elite athletes. The dual aim was mixed up: The stress on success over taking part was intimidating for newcomers.
短文翻译
公园跑不是速度赛，而是计时赛：你唯一的对手就是计时器。这种理念欢迎每个人的参与，首次参与者气喘吁吁地跑过终点，赢得掌声，他们感受到的喜悦之情与第一名是一样的。那些奥运会拥护者则相反，他们想让更多的人进行体育运动，产生更多的精英运动员。两种目的混杂在一起：对参加奥运会的新人而言，获胜相对于参与所带来的压力是令人害怕的。
