Text 2
When Liam McGee departed as president of Bank of America in August, his explanation was surprisingly straight up. Rather than cloaking his exit in the usual vague excuses, he came right out and said he was leaving "to pursue my goal of running a company." Broadcasting his ambition was "very much my decision," McGee says. Within two weeks, he was talking for the first time with the board of Hartford Financial Services Group, which named him CEO and chairman on September 29.
当八月份，Liam McGee以总裁的身份从美国银行离职的时候，他的解释出人意料的直白。他没有忸怩的用平常的模糊的理由来遮掩他的离开，他很坦诚的讲他离开就是为了去追求他经营一家公司的目标。McGee说宣扬自己的目标就是自己的决定。两周后，他第一次和Hartford Financial Services Group的董事会第一次会谈，这家公司在9月29日提名他为董事会主席和CEO.
McGee says leaving without a position lined up gave him time to reflect on what kind of company he wanted to run. It also sent a clear message to the outside world about his aspirations. And McGee isn't alone. In recent weeks the No.2 executives atAvonand American Express quit with the explanation that they were looking for a CEO post. As boards scrutinize succession plans in response to shareholder pressure, executives who don't get the nod also may wish to move on. A turbulent business environment also has senior managers cautious of letting vague pronouncements cloud their reputations.
他说在离开的时候并没有找好后面的职位(下家)，使他有时间去反思他到底想去经营一家什么样的公司。这同时也就他的激情和决心，给了外界一个清晰的信号。这样做的并不只是McGee一个人。最近几周，Avon and American Express的一些高级经理离职并解释说想需找一个ceo的职位。当董事会迫于股东的压力对一系列的计划进行审查的时候，那些计划被否定掉的经理们也会想离开。激烈的商业环境同样使得高级经理很小心，模糊的表态可能会破坏他们的声誉。
As the first signs of recovery begin to take hold, deputy chiefs may be more willing to make the jump without a net. In the third quarter, CEO turnover was down 23% from a year ago as nervous boards stuck with the leaders they had, according to Liberum Research. As the economy picks up, opportunities will abound for aspiring leaders.
当经济复苏的标志开始确定的时候，二把手们可能更愿意在没有网(新的工作)情况下换
工作。第三季度，根据Liberum的调查，CEO的更迭和一年前相比减少了23%，这是由于紧张的董事会紧盯着他们的ceo们。随着经济的复苏和好转，对有理想的头儿们，机会是很多的。
The decision to quit a senior position to look for a better one is unconventional. For years executives and headhunters have adhered to the rule that the most attractive CEO candidates are the ones who must be poached. Says Korn Ferry，senior partner Dennis Carey :"I can't think of a single search I've done where a board has not instructed me to look at sitting CEOs first."
离开高管的职位去寻找一个更好的职位，并不是传统的做法。多年以来，经理们和猎头们都认同这样一个原则：最有吸引力的CEO的竞争是那些需要去挖来的人。Korn Ferry，senior partner Dennis Carey说道：我所做的每一次的招聘中，董事会都要求我从那些在任的CEO中寻找人选。
Those who jumped without a job haven't always landed in top positions quickly. Ellen Marram quit as chief of Tropicana when the business became part of PepsiCo (PEP) a decade ago, saying she wanted to be a CEO. It was a year before she became head of a tiny Internet-based commodities exchange. Robert Willumstad left Citigroup in 2005 with ambitions to be a CEO. He finally took that post at a major financial institution three years later.
那些没有找到工作就离开的人并不是很快就能找到顶级的职位。10年前，Tropicana被PepsiCo (PEP)收购了，她以经理的身份离职了，她说他想当ceo.但是花了一年的时间她才成为一家小型互联网交换公司的头。2005年Robert Willumstad带着想成为CEO的梦想离开了Citigroup.可是三年后他才成为了一家主要的金融机构的CEO.
Many recruiters say the old disgrace is fading for top performers. The financial crisis has made it more acceptable to be between jobs or to leave a bad one. "The traditional rule was it's safer to stay where you are, but that's been fundamentally inverted," says one headhunter. "The people who've been hurt the worst are those who've stayed too long."
很多招聘的人都说对于高管而言，过去认为的丢脸的感觉(没有工作)已经慢慢消失了。金融危机已经使得跳槽，离开一个不好的工作变得更加可以接受了。一个猎头就说到: "传统的规则是待在你原来的地方会更加安全，但是现在已经彻底改变了. 那些受伤最厉害的就是那里在一个地方待太久的人。"
语篇分析：
这篇文章来自：Business Week 商业周刊2009年11月5日，Top Managers Are Quitting, Without a New Job by Jena McGregor：顶级经理人在离职，新工作还没着落。
文章从Liam McGee的跳槽为引子开始，引出第二段中跳槽的人很多。第三段进一步的讲金融危机会引起更多的人跳槽。四段和五段回顾过去。六段回到现在。借别人的嘴强化观点：就是该跳，并且要"裸跳"，在没有找到下家就跳。"裸跳"不丢人。
26. When McGee announced his departure, his manner can best be described as being
[A]arrogant. [B]frank.
[C]self-centered. [D]impulsive.
解析：根据题干中的McGee announced his departure定位到这两句：When Liam McGee departed as president of Bank of America in August, his explanation was surprisingly straight up. Rather than cloaking his exit in the usual vague excuses, he came right out and said he was leaving "to pursue my goal of running a company." straight up.是第一个线索，Rather than vague excuses答案直接可以锁定：B. frank.就怕你们不认识单词啊，所以2012年同学加油背单词!记住单词记忆只有一个方法，重复!
27. According to Paragraph 2, senior executives' quitting may be spurred by
[A]their expectation of better financial status.
[B]their need to reflect on their private life.
[C]their strained relations with the boards.
[D]their pursuit of new career goals.
解析：题干的关注点在于spur 这是在课堂中讲过的隐含因果的表达。结果是：senior executives' quitting，寻找原因：文章中很明确的with the explanation that they were looking for a CEO post.这个题目中体现出来的还是一直强调的：文章表达的多样性在理解中的重要性：senior executives' quitting= the No.2 executives at Avon and American Express ;上下义词的替换;new career goals= CEO post;也是上下义词的替换。有干扰性的就是C了，后文确实说道了和board 之间的关系，但是是讲在计划不被批准的时候，并不是和董事会关系紧张。并且董事会的审查是在股东的压力下才执行的。没有理由支持这一选项。
28. The word "poached" (Line 3, Paragraph 4) most probably means
[A]approved of. [B]attended to.
[C]hunted for [D]guarded against.
解析：理解这句话：I can't think of a single search I've done where a board has not instructed me to look at sitting CEOs first.用反译法：我所做的每一次的招聘中，董事会都要求我从那些在任的CEO中寻找人选。这说明那些人都是要去挖的，那么对应的单词就是hunt for 了。
29. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that
[A]top performers used to cling to their posts.
[B]loyalty of top performers is getting out-dated.
[C]top performers care more about reputations.
[D]it's safer to stick to the traditional rules.
解析：这个题是个推理题，段落推理题。几个选项都得看：第二个选项在对应第一个观点：Many recruiters say the old disgrace is fading for top performers.但是对应错了：disgrace 不等于loyalty。一个是丢人，一个是忠诚。第三个选项中的比较是文中没有提到的。top performers care reputations这样是可以的，但是没有说过是more.第四个选项：和原文表述反了：The traditional rule was it's safer to stay where you are, but that's been fundamentally inverted.原文中说：The financial crisis has made it more acceptable to be between jobs or to leave a bad one.正话反说：top performers used to cling to their posts.高级经理过去常在一个地方呆着。
30. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
[A]CEOs: Where to Go? [B]CEOs: All the Way Up?
[C]Top Managers Jump without a Net [D]The Only Way Out for Top Performers
解析：强烈的干扰项是：[A]CEOs: Where to Go? [B]CEOs: All the Way Up?原因在于CEO 在文中出现了很多次，同学们把ceo当成了主体词。这也是反反命题的一个体现。文章的主体词其实是：top manager, ceo 只是他们想去成为，而不是现在就是。不是主题词。这给了我们一个启示，要从文章的大意找结构。不要被其他的所谓技巧所迷惑。去掉A和B以后，c和d相比答案就比较容易了。只是要理解net 就是替换了new job.再无耻一点，原文的标题就是这样的top Managers Are Quitting, Without a New Job
通过以上内容大家可以看到，这本书对于历年考研英语阅读译文和答案的解析是非常详细的，把题目中的考点都告诉了大家，这样大家在复习的时候就非常轻松了，做完题之后有一个很好的对照，就能知道自己的弱点到底在哪里。另外，还有一个大家很关注的问题，那就是怎样有效的提高阅读能力，对此，凯程老师给大家做出下面的建议：
复习建议：
英语学习是个循序渐进的过程，阅读能力的提升也非一日千里，考生可根据自身情况制定本阶段符合自己的“阅读学习计划”：
“两遍”阅读法：
第一遍“略读”：严格按照考试要求，在规定时间内通读文章、完成题目。以“大体了解文章中心思想和重点信息”为主旨，以解答题目作为目标。切不可拘泥于个别的词、句等语言细节，应注重培养实战感觉，稳定阅读速度，提升对文章整体的逻辑理解力。
第二遍“精读”：所谓“精读”，即要从词、句、篇、题四个层面对文章进行细读和研读，充分汲取每一篇文章的营养，全方位夯实自己的语言实力。具体而言，生词要理解记忆;难句要分析翻译;篇章结构也要梳理，提炼出每段的大意和篇章的主旨，进而理出文章的行文脉络;题目不要机械地对答案，要见木见林，做对的题要提炼思路，归纳方法，做错的题目要错误分析，汲取教训。
复习的重要性：复习是被很多考生做阅读时所遗忘的一个环节。殊不知，每读完一篇文章，里面的“得”与“失”都是考生成长过程中难能可贵的养分。所以，我们必须及时地、反复地复习，不断来摄取这些养料，知道考试前的最后一周。切记“题海”战术，要相信四千道题做一遍的效果绝对比不上一千道题做四遍的效果;与其博览群书，不如精读一本。
相信，通过以上的介绍，大家对于历年考研英语阅读译文的重要性，以及怎样快速提高阅读能力都有了一定的了解，凯程老师认为，考前的复习是非常重要的，所以大家一定要反复的去复习，把一本书，或者是一篇文章中的精华全部吸取到自己的思维中，这样才起到了做题的作用，有的时候读10本书，不如精读一本书。
2017年高考英语七选五阅读
2017年高考英语总动员“七选五”阅读 8.历年探究
（Ⅰ） 【2016·新课标全国卷I】 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Secret codes (密码) keep messages private. Bank, companies, and government agencies use secret code in doing business, especially when information is sent by computer. People have used secret codes for thousands of years. 36 Code breaking never lags (落后) behind code making. The science of decoding and reading coded messages is called cryptography. There are three main types of cryptography. 37 For example, the first letters a re “My elephant eats too many eels” spell out the hidden message “Meet me.” 38 You might represent each letter with a number, for example, let’s number the letters of the alphabet, in order, from 1 to 26. If we substitute a number for each letter, th e message “Meet me” would read “1 3 5 20 13 5”. A code uses symbols to replace words, phrases, or sentences. To read the message of a real code, you must have a code book. 39 For example, “bridge” might stand for “meet” and “out” might stand for “me”.The message “bridge out” would actually mean “Meet me”. 40 However, it

2018考研英语阅读解题思路：细节题_毙考题
2018考研英语阅读解题思路：细节题 理解文章的具体信息和概念含义是大纲对阅读的明确要求。细节题目的考查在每年的考研英语真题当中都会占到一半以上，考生必须给予足够重视，牢牢掌握细节题的解题方法和思路。我们以2009年的真题为例： The relationship between formal education and economic growth in poor countries is widely misunderstood by economists and politicians alike. Progress in both area is undoubtedly necessary for the social, political and intellectual development of these and all other societies; however, the conventional view that education should be one of the very highest priorities for promoting rapid economic development in poor countries is wrong. We are fortunate that it is, because building new educational systems there and putting enough people through them to improve economic performance would require two or three generations. 31. The author holds that the importance of education in poor countries______. [A] is subject to groundless doubts [B] has fallen victim of bias [C] is conventional downgraded [D] has been overestimated 解析：首先依据题干关键词the importance of education in poor countries定位到第一句The relationship between formal education and economic growth in poor countries is widely misunderstood，但是仔细研读后发现贫穷国家中正规教育与经济发展之间的关系为经济学家及政治家们普遍误解。，该句只是在说正式教育和经济发展之间的关系，并不是题干所要找的教育的重要性。继续定位到第三句however, the conventional view that education should be one of the very highest priorities for promoting rapid economic development in poor countries is wrong.那种认为教育应该是促进贫穷国家经济快速发展的重要因素之一的传统观点是错误的。句中涉及了和教育的重要性相关的信息，锁定为答案出处。作者说这种传统的观点时错误的，可以理解为作者认为贫困国家不应该把教育看的如此重要，即，现在的贫困国家太过于注重教育了，所以答案选[D] has been overestimated教育被高估了。[C] is conventional downgraded被降级轻视，和原文事实相反。A和B选项所说的怀疑和偏见态度在原文中找不到依据，可排除。

To reduce traffic jams and air pollution, many cities have offered bike-sharing. But sometimes, dreams can turn sour. As shared bikes become more popular, problems keep showing up. According to news reports, shared bikes are badly treated by users. When people are using the bike, some of them just throw it onto streets and even into ditches(水沟). Some bikes are stolen. Recently, a man in Shanghai was fined (罚款)1,000 yuan for stealing a shared bike. Besides, the damage to the QR codes on the bikes has brought huge losses to bike-sharing companies, like Mobike.

Mobike has 100 credit (信用) scores for each user. Penalty (惩罚)points will be taken in case of users? bad behaviors. Once the score drops to below 80, bike rental will go up to five yuan per 30 minutes. However, punishment may not be the best way to stop shared bikes from being stolen or damaged. Bike-sharing services will work well only if people follow the rules and show respect for the bikes and other users. 1. Why do many cities have offered bike-sharing? A.To provide convenience to travelers. B. To reduce traffic jams and air pollution. C. To make money for the company by renting. D. To encourage more people to excise by riding. 2.

考研英语个阅读题答题技巧毙考题
2017考研英语：57个阅读题答题技巧 距离2017年考研初试已经只剩一个多月的时间，各位考生在这段时间需要做得很重要的一件事就是练习真题，研究答题技巧。下面小编为大家整理了2017考研英语阅读题答题技巧，以供大家参考。 在考研英语中，阅读是一个拉分大项，也是难度较大的题目，因此同学们在复习的过程中应将答题技巧融合在复习过程中，下面是英语阅读的57个答题技巧。 1、原句重复出现，200%错。正确的都是有改动的，即同意替换。 2、文章是按顺序出题的。你要觉得不是，就是你做错了。 3、选项中意思完全相反的2个选项，其中之一是对的。(要有这个意识)。 4、就一般而言，some people，表作者不认同的观点。few people，表作者的观点。 5、用文章里举例的句子来作为选项，直接排除。200%错。(要有能辨别这个选项是不是文章中例子的能力)。 6、某某人说的话，或者是带引号的，一定要高度重视。尤其是在段落的后半部分。很有可能就是某个问题的同意替换。即题眼。 7、有的时候，一句话可以设2个问题。不过这种情况很少出现了，非常少。 8、文章基本以5段为主(也有6段、7段的)，要把握每段之间的关系。一般来说，一段一个题，只是一般来说喔。 9、一篇文章总会有5、6+个长难句，且总会在这里设问题。所以，长难句必须要拿下! 10、每段的第一句很重要。尤其总分结构的段。有的时候第一句话就是题眼。考研英语，总分结构或者总分总的段落很多。
11、若文章首段以why为开头的，这里若设题的话，选项里有because的，往往就是正确选项。不过这种类型的题，很少见了。 12、有时候每段的第一句话，仅仅是一个表述。而在第2或3句以后，会出现对比或者转折。一般来说，转折后面的是作者的态度。你要注意的是，作者对什么进行了转折。那个关键词你要找出来。 13、在应该出现答案的地方，没有答案。接着往下读。答案可能会在下一段的开头部分。因为文章都是接着说的。要有连贯性。这和7选5的技巧有些相似。不过这种情况并不多见。 14、一个长句看不懂，接着往下看，下一句可能是这个长句的解释说明。是的话，这的地方可能会出题。出的话，答案就在这附近。而实际情况是，文章在谈论某个问题或提出某个观点时，有时会再做进一步的解释说明。这种情况下，这里往往会设问题。不过，这种情况很少见了。 15、有些句子仅仅是解释补充，或者是起过渡作用的。这样句子的特点是，句子比较短。注意，答案一般不会在这儿出现。选项中出现，肯定是干扰项。你要知道的是，同意替换的句子，大都是长难句。一些作为过渡的句子，不可能是答案。在你读不懂的情况下，要有这个判断力。 16、正确选项都是原文中的个别几个词的同义替换。阅读理解历年的所有真题，都是同意替换!就看你能不能找得到。考研英语，考的就是这个!那个关键词，就看你找没找得到，不管是什么类型的题。 17、每一个问题，在原文中，都要有一个定位。然后精读，找出那个中心句或者关键词。要抓文章的中心主旨和各段落的大意，阅读理解考的就是这个中心句。 18、选项中的几个单词，是该段中不同句子里的单词拼凑的，有时看上去很舒服，注意，干扰项。还有从不同的段落里的词拼凑到一起的，直接排除。总之，选项的单词是拼凑的，肯定错。 19、一定要注意文章中句子的宾语部分，尤其是长难句中主干的宾语。上面说了，考研英语大都是长难句里设题。你要知道的是，长难句里，最可能是出题的就是句子的主干部分!主干的主语、宾语是什么，一定要知道。正确选项的题眼往往就在这儿。当然，还有一些起修饰、限定作用的词，一定要看仔细。小心陷阱。
2017年考研英语(二)真题与解析
2017年考研英语（二）真题与解析 作者：凯程陆老师，有问题找我 SectionI Use of English Directions: Read the following text.Choose the best word(s)for each numbered blank and mark A,B,C or D on the ANSWER SHEET.(10points) People have speculated for centuries about a future without work.Today is no different,with academics,writers,and activists once again1that technology be replacing human workers.Some imagine that the coming work-free world will be defined by2.A few wealthy people will own all the capital,and the masses will struggle in an impoverished wasteland.

2017年江苏省英语高考阅读C
2017年江苏省英语高考阅读C A new commodity brings about a highly profitable,fast-growing industry,urging antitrust（反垄断）regulators to step in to check those who control its flow. A century ago,the resource in question was oil. Now similar concerns are being raised by the giants（巨头）that deal in data, the oil of the digital age. The most valuable firms are Google,Amazon, Facebook and Microsoft. All look unstoppable. Such situations have led to calls for the tech giants to be broken up. But size alone is not a crime. The giants' success has benefited consumers. Few want to live without search engines or a quick delivery. Far from charging consumers high prices, many of these services are free (users pay, in effect, by handing over yet more data). And the appearance of new-born giants suggests that newcomers can make waves, too. But there is cause for concern. The internet has made data abundant, all-present and far more valuable, changing the nature of data and competition. Google initially used the data collected from users to target advertising better. But recently it has discovered that data can be turned into new services: translation and visual recognition, to be sold to other companies. Internet companies’ control of data gives them enormous power. So they have a “God’s eye view” of activities in their own markets and beyond. This nature of data makes the antitrust measures of the past less useful. Breaking up firms like Google into five small ones would not stop remaking

考研英语阅读各题型解题技巧分析 态度题是考研英语阅读理解中的必考题型,在20道选择题中大约要占到10%-1５％的比重，也是同学们得分率较低的一个题型，在做题时往往抓不住文中的关键信息来判断作者或是其他相关人士的态度。本文就来谈谈如何应对考研英语阅读理解中的态度题目。 首先，我们来看一下态度题目题干中的标志性词。当我们在题干中看到aｔtitudｅ,ｂelieve, agrｅe等词时就可以判定其为态度题了,选项中表示态度的单词常见的有：表示积极的态度:supｐoｒtｉve、optimiｓtｉｃ、coｎsent、ａpproval 表示消极的态度：ｉndifferent、inｄｉgnant、ｃontｅｍｐt、ｂiaｓ、pｅssimistic、skeｐticａl、resｅnt、susｐicｉon、oｐpoｓｉｔion 表示客观中立的态度:ｄｅtacｈｅd、reserveｄ、ｏbjectivｅ、concerneｄ、imparti ａl 此外，根据题干中态度主体的不同，分为作者态度题和他人态度题。在阅读题干和返回原文时，我们要注意态度的主体、态度的对象和态度的表达方式。即这道题是说谁的态度，关于哪一个话题、在文章中是怎样表现的。那么针对此类题,我们该如何解答呢?1.确定题干中态度的主体和对象;2、返回原文寻找包含主体和对象的句子；３.将原文中的态度词与选项进行比较，意思接近的为正确答案。 下面我们通过2000年考研阅读真题的第一篇文章来讲解一下这类题型的解题技巧。这篇文章主要讲了美国经济在不同时期的状况以及人们对经济发展不同的态度。以5４题为例进行讲解。 ５４.Ｔhe ａutｈor seｅms ｔｏｂeliｅve ｔhe ｒevｉｖａl oｆtｈe U.S． eco ｎoｍy ｉｎ the １990s ｃan be attribｕted to the ________． ［A] turniｎg of the bｕsiｎｅsｓｃｙclｅ [B] reｓtｒuctuｒing of iｎdustry [C］ improvｅd busｉneｓs manaｇemeｎｔ [Ｄ] sucｃess ｉn education 从题干的beliｅve一词我们可以判定这是一道态度题，另外，题干中提到具体定位信息,the ｒevivaｌｏf the U.S．ｅｃｏnoｍｙｉn ｔhe 19９0ｓ,所以需要我们根据选项中的内容返回原文进行查找。来源为第四自然段第二句话。Fｅw Americaｎｓaｔｔｒibute this solely to such ｏｂvｉoｕs ｃauｓｅｓａs a devalｕeｄ dollaｒ or the turｎiｎg ｏｆ the busｉｎess cｙcle. Few表示否定的概念，表示几乎没有人把美国经济的稳定增长单纯归因于美元贬值或是商业周期循环这些显而易见的原因,而这恰恰是美国经济复苏的原因所在。后面作者又提到自我怀疑被盲目自大所替代。下面几个人的说法（Ｒicharｄ, Ｓｔephen)正是盲目自大的具体表现。可见作者是不支持这种bｌinｄｐｒｉde的说法。Ｂ是Ｒichard的观点,C是Steｐhen和Williaｍ的观点。D没有提到。正确选项为Ａ。 通过以上题目的讲解，相信大家对考研英语阅读理解中态度题的做题方法有了更深的认识和把握。在今后阅读中遇到态度的问题时，一定要看清问的是谁的关于什么问题的态度，

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项中,选出最佳选项。 A To American visitors, Iceland is a very interesting country, partly because it is different in so many ways from what he or she is used to seeing at home. There are quite a few things that are not done, or that do not exist on the island —quite a few "No's". There is no pollution, for instance. No dogs are permitted in Reykjavik, the capital. There is no television on Thursdays or during the entire month of July, and only three hours of black-and-white TV the rest of the time. There is no hard liquor on Wednesdays and no beer at any time. There are no handguns; only one jail of thirty-five cells in the entire land —an admirable figure, even for a small country of 313,376 people. There is no army, air force or navy. There is no tipping for anything. There are no large stores open on Saturdays or Sundays. Since Iceland is situated just under the Arctic Circle, there is no darkness in summer and no daylight in winter. But thanks to Gulf Stream, the climate is rather mild, with temperatures ranging from 34 degrees Fahrenheit to 52 degrees in July. The rules on television, liquor, and guns are the result of governmental decision. But the absence of pollution is due in great part to the fact that Iceland gets its power from the enormous geyser(间歇泉and the thousands of hot springs that come out of the ground. They provide all the energy needed by the country. In fact, Iceland uses only 3 percent of all its available power. Iceland has been described as a democratic independent country where more fish are caught and more books published per person than anywhere else in the world. The Icelanders have always felt a particular love for literature. They composed their first works in the ninth and tenth centuries AD. These works were poems and tales about the kings, heroes, and heroines of Iceland and Norway. At first the stories were memorized
