《新编考研英语阅读理解150篇》Unite 6 Text 2Online databases of scientific journals have made life easier for scientists. No more strolling down to the library, searching through the old stacks and queuing up for the photocopier. Instead, a few clicks of a mouse can bring forth the desired papers and maybe others that the reader did not know of-the "long tail" of information that the web makes available.Well, that is how it is supposed to work, but does it? James Evans, a sociologist at the University of Chicago, decided to investigate. Dr Evans based his analysis on data from citation indexes compiled by Thomson Scientific. They record how often one article is cited as a source by others, and thus measure apaper's influence. Those used by Dr Evans cover 6,000 of the most prominent academic journals. By cross-referring these to a database called Fulltext Sources Online, he was able to work out when each of these journals became available on the web-and whether a journal had posted back-issues electronically as well. For each research paper he looked at, he calculated the average age of the articles citecL He then calculated, for each of those cited articles, the number of back-issues of the journal it had been published in which were available on the web at the time when it was cited, and averaged that too. Finally, helooked for correlations between the two averages.What he discovered was that, for every additional year of back-issues of a journal available online,the average age of the articles cited from that journal fell by a month He also found a fall, once a journal was online, in the number of papers in it that got any citations at all. Rather than measuring the length of the tail, then, it seems that modern science is actually focusing on a tiny bit of it.Why this should be so remains unclear. It does not seem to have anything to do with economics. The same effect applied whether or not a journal had to be paid for. One explanation could be that indexing works by titles and authors alone, as happened with printed journals, forced readers to cast at least a glance at work not immediately related to their own-or even that the mere act of browsing through a paper volume may have thrown up unexpected treasures. This may have led people to make broader camparisons and to integrate more past results into their research It is not yet clear whether this change is for good or ill Electronic searching means that no relevant paper is likely to go unread, but narrowing the definition of "relevance risks reducing the cross-fertilisation of ideas that sometimes leads to big, unexpected advances As someone once put it, an ex;pert is someone who knows more and more about less and less until, eventually, he knows everything about nothing It would be ironic if that is the sort of expertise that the world wide web is creating [495 words]6.

考研英语二阅读参考书推荐
考研英语二阅读参考书推荐第一，新东方的《决胜考研系列·考研英语：阅读理解基础进阶88篇+提高冲刺72篇》。
这本阅读相对不错，在题干和选项的设计上与真题较为接近，并且周围很多同学比较很认可其对于阅读、翻译的解析。
在搞透历年真题的基础上，可以看一看这本书。
第二，考研1号的《同源外刊句句讲》——英语二专用。
强烈推荐这本书，原因如下：一这本书选材很好，都是《经济学人》《新闻周刊》等与考研英语真题出处同源的一些外刊之中，与真题的要求基本一致。
二是这本书将这些文章一句一句拆开来细细讲解，对于每个句子中的重难点词汇和语法知识，进行系统性的排查和讲解。
对于那些基础不好的同学而言，这本书真是恶补基础的最佳选择。
但是，这本书也有一大缺憾，就是没有给每篇文章设置题干和选项。
也就是说，没有题，只能精读和分析，不能做到练习的目的，但是可以让你更好地理解考研阅读文章，更好地进行语篇分析。
不过个人认为，与其在题干和选项的命制方面存在问题，不如不命制这些东西，让考生全力投入到基本功的训练当中去，如果要做题，就做真题，这样也不会误导考生的做题思路。
第三，《新编考研英语阅读理解150篇（基础版+提高版）》。
这本阅读书具有一定的知名度。
但是做起来感觉很真题思路有很大差异，偏难偏怪。
有很多选项似乎是为了出题而出题，与历年真题的命制思路确有不同。
我做了没多少就扔一边了。
基础篇和提高篇都一样。
其实多数书籍（包括新东方的《考研英语阅读理解精读100篇（基础版+高分版）》）都是这样，跟历年真题不在一个水平上。
这也可以理解。
毕竟，真题是无数顶级专家长时间集体智慧的结晶，而所谓的模拟题，确是水平有限的个别老师的急功近利之作，两者差别，由此可见一斑。

张剑曾鸣编著《英语阅读理解150篇》Part ADirections:Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. (40 points)Text 1No t long after the telephone was invented, I assume, a call was placed. The caller was a parent saying, “your child is bullying my child, and I want it stopped!” The bully's parent replied, “you must have the wrong number. My child is a little angel.”A trillion phone calls later, the conversation is the same. When children are teased or tyrannized, the parental impulse is to grab the phone and rant. But these days, as studies in the U.S. show bullying on the rise and parental supervision on the decline, researchers who study bullying say that calling moms and dads is more futile than ever. Such calls often lead to playground recriminations and don't really teach our kids any lessons about how to navigate the world and resolve conflicts.When you call parents, you want them to “extract the cruelty”from their bullying children, says Laura Kavesh, a child psychologist in Evanston, Illinois. “But many parents are blown away by the idea of their child being cruel. They won t believe it.”In a recent police department survey in Oak Harbor, Washington, 89% of local high school students said they had engaged in bullying behavior. Yet only 18% of parents thought their children would act as bullies.In a new U.S.PTA survey, 5% of parents support contacting other parents to deal with bullying. But many educators warn that those conversations can be misinterpreted, causing tempers to flare. Instead, they say, parents should get objective outsiders, like principals, to mediate.Meanwhile, if you get a call from a parent who is angry about your child's bullying, listen without getting defensive. That's what Laura McHugh of Castro Valley, California, did when a caller told her that her then 13-year-old son had spit in another boy's food.Her son had confessed, but the victim's mom “wanted to make sure my son hadn't given her son a nasty disease,” says McHugh, who apologized and promised to get her son tested for AIDS and other diseases. She knew the chance of contracting any disease this way was remote, but her promise calmed the mother and showed McHugh's son that his bad behaviour was being taken seriously. McHugh, founder of Parents Coach Kids, a group that teaches parenting skills, sent the mom the test results. All were negative.Remember: once you make a call, you might not like what you hear. If you have an itchy dialing finger, resist temptation. Put it in your pocket. ［419 words］1.The word “bullying” probably means______.［A］frightening and hurting ［B］teasing［C］behaving like a tyrant ［D］laughing at2. Calling to a bully's parent.______.［A］has long existed but changed its content ［B］is often done with careful thinking［C］often leads to blaming and misunderstanding ［D］is used to warn the child not to do it again3.

2005年Text 3①Of all the components of a good night’s sleep, dreams seem to be least within our control. ②In dreams, a window opens into a world where logic is suspended and dead people speak.③A century ago, Freud formulated his revolutionary theory that dreams were the disguised shadows of our unconscious desires and fears; by the late 1970s, neurologists had switched to thinking of them as just “mental noise”—the random byproducts of the neural-repair work that goes on during sleep. ④Now researchers suspect that dreams are part of the mind’s emotional thermostat, regulating moods while the brain is “off-line.”⑤And one leading authority says that these intensely powerful mental events can be not only harnessed but actually brought under conscious control, to help us sleep and feel better. ⑥“It’s your dream,”says Rosalind Cartwright, chair of psychology at Chicago’s Medical Center.⑦“If you don’t like it, change it.”①在睡一个好觉的所有因素中，梦似乎是最无法控制的一个。
新编研究生英语阅读-Unit5课文翻译及分析(西农适用)
Poverty, Development and Environment文章逻辑：一开始开篇点题提出观点：发展中国家地区的农村居民相当依赖自然资源来维持生计，并且随着人口在增加而资源在减少，人口和资源就产生了一种不可持续的矛盾。
而且随着人们对自然资源的开发，自然资源日益匮乏，其中就有红树林，珊瑚礁和热带雨林三个例子，然后最后再提出建议如何改善贫困地区的人们的生活，如何帮助其脱贫。
文章中关系：这里面的关系是：农业生产产值为GDP的增加贡献了最多的部分，而产业结构中农业独大，制造业工业不强，导致农业生产效率低，并且制造业不发达无法提供足够就业岗位让贫穷地区的人民去从事非农就业。
然后发展，其实就是对应的经济发展嘛，经济发展缓慢，所以农业利用效率不高，所以一方面人们很贫穷，而贫穷又没法去从事非农就业，只能从事农业，而由于农业生产过度依赖自然资源，所以又对自然资源造成极大的压力，效率又不高，农业产值在国民经济产值占比高。
然后就是这种循环，原因还是农业生产效率低，又缺少制造业产业链行业，经济发展缓慢，所以最后提出建议，要加大基础设施，卫生医疗和教育的投资，人力资本投资，解决人们对无法便捷获得贷款、交易成本贵，不能从事制造业的问题，提高制造业在国民经济中的占比，提高农业效率。
文章结构：第1段—第2段：introduction，说明了全文的背景：发展中国家地区的农村居民相当依赖自然资源维持生计，而人口增加和资源减少就产生了一种不可持续的矛盾；第3段—第7段：current situation，一开始说明发展中国家的主要生态系统包括红树林，珊瑚礁和热带雨林已经开始消亡，然后分别介绍红树林，珊瑚礁和热带雨林流域的现状及其原有的功能；第8段—第12段：suggestions，针对前面说明的现状，提出可行的两种建议，可以直接对贫困地区的人们进行补偿以避免开发，其次是针对贫困地区进行投资，聚焦长期结构性提升贫困地区的基础设施和人力资本情况；第一段：提出本文的主题：发展中国家的人口直接依赖自然资源，并且农业产值在GDP中占有相当大的比重，绝大部分劳动力也是从事农业资源型活动，但是随着人口越来越多和资源越来越少，这样产生了矛盾。
研究生学位英语课文全文翻译-unit5
Unit5 三明治人－－生存在夹缝中的一代人1九月上旬，安妮接到卡尔加伏特山医院打来的电话，要她将住院的母亲接回家去。
已经84岁高龄的老母亲易瑞尼从三月中风以来就一直住在医院，接受精心地护理。
2六个月后，易瑞尼可以自己吃饭，也能下床走动。
但记性依然不好。
看样子，在敬老院腾出床位前她是不可能回家独自生活的。
已经42岁的安妮是社会服务顾问，同丈夫同住卡尔加城，家里还有三个孩子，老大19岁，老二15岁，最小的11岁。
安妮回忆接母亲的事时说：“她非常虚弱，简直弱不禁风。
我跟医院一再解释，我们不能接她回家——我们没法接她回来。
”但福特山医院答应帮忙安排家庭护理，安妮便将母亲接回了家。
要求隐去全名的安妮说：“这真让我们惊慌失措。
从医学上讲，医院已无力回天，他们要我接回母亲也有道理。
但是，我也无法照料好自己的老母。
”3安妮就是生活在夹缝中的人员之一上要顾老，下要顾小，同时还得努力雕自己的饭碗。
据估计在女口拿大，年长的亲戚与小一辈的家庭咸员生活在一起的大家庭大约有12万家。
尽管统计数字显示这样的大家庭越来越少，但那些确实搬到了子女家并与子女同住的大家庭已经发生了巨大的变化，他们与原来的大家庭完全不一样了，一方面现在的长辈子女少些，因而分担家庭重担的人相应减少了；另一方面，现代家庭中的女孩也都出外工作。
实际上，渥太华凡妮家庭研究所行政与交流主任安兰·马瑞贝里指出现代家庭中的一对夫妻平均一周要工作65~80小时，而20世纪50年代则只有4㈠5小时。
他说：“现代人的劳动强度是过去的两倍，只有这样才能维持一定的生活水平，”而这一变化完全为人们所忽略，相反公众舆论要求有些医疗保健上的负担从政府部门转到各个家庭，这样也许各家庭的经济问题解决了，但是，“我们不能只凭假设就认为我们能得到足够的医护人员，因为现代家庭已发生了很大的变化。
’4同时，马瑞贝里也意识到要让那些特护病人顺利回家，确实“各有各的难处”。
加拿大人流动性大，有一半的家庭平均每五年会换一个地方——家庭成员也天南地北。
2021年硕士入学考试英语阅读真题附答案详解-TEXT5_3
2021年硕士入学考试英语阅读真题附答案详解:TEXT52000 Passage 5If ambition is to be well regarded, the rewards of ambition — wealth, distinction, control over one's destiny — must be deemed worthy of the sacrifices made on ambition's behalf. If the tradition of ambition is to have vitality, it must be widely shared; and it especially must be highly regarded by people who are themselves admired, the educated not least among them. In an odd way, however, it is the educated who have claimed to have give up on ambition as an ideal. What is odd is that they have perhaps most benefited from ambition — if not always their own then that of their parents and grandparents. There is a heavy note of hypocrisy in this, a case of closing the barn door after the horses have escaped —with the educated themselves riding on them.Certainly people do not seem less interested in success and its signs now than formerly. Summer homes, European travel, BMWs — The locations, place names and name brands may change, but such items do not seem less in demand today than a decade or two years ago. What has happened is that people cannotconfess fully to their dreams, as easily and openly as once they could, lest they be thought pushing, acquisitive and vulgar. Instead, we are treated to fine hypocritical spectacles, which now more than ever seem in ample supply: the critic of American materialism with a Southampton summer home; the publisher of radical books who takes his meals in three-star restaurants; the journalist advocating participatory democracy in all phases of life, whose own children are enrolled in private schools. For such people and many more perhaps not so exceptional, the proper formulation is, "Succeed at all costs but avoid appearing ambitious."The attacks on ambition are many and come from various angles; its public defenders are few and unimpressive, where they are not extremely unattractive. As a result, the support for ambition as a healthy impulse, a quality to be admired and fixed in the mind of the young, is probably lower than it has ever been in the United States. This does not mean that ambition is at an end, that people no longer feel its stirrings and promptings, but only that, no longer openly honored, it is less openly professed. Consequences follow from this, of course, some of which are that ambition is driven underground, or made sly. Such, then, is the way things stand: on the left angrycritics, on the right stupid supporters, and in the middle, as usual, the majority of earnest people trying to get on in life.67. It is generally believed that ambition may be well regarded if ________.[A] its returns well compensate for the sacrifices[B] it is rewarded with money, fame and power[C] its goals are spiritual rather than material[D] it is shared by the rich and the famous68. The last sentence of the first paragraph most probably implies that it is________.[A] customary of the educated to discard ambition in words[B] too late to check ambition once it has been let out[C] dishonest to deny ambition after the fulfillment of the goal[D] impractical for the educated to enjoy benefits from ambition69.
