2019英语二真题阅读Text4 细节与主题的统一_2019年考研英语二答案
2019年考研英语已然结束，总体来说，这次英语二考题的传统阅读部分在题目内容及设计上仍旧维持往年难度，本篇文章选自2018年10月6日Huffpost 发表的名为“Let‘s Stop Pretending Quitting Straws Will Solve Plastic Pollution” 文章，属于社会生活类的文章，又与环境保护主题相关，是考生较为熟悉的话题，解读起来相对来说比较容易，主要的内容是探讨人们过去在解决塑料污染过程中出现的问题，以及应该如何真正解决塑料污染的问题。
本篇文章的题目设置仍旧是以细节题和推理题为主，五道题中有一道传统细节题，三道观点细节题，一道推理题，其题型分类的分配比例与往年相比基本一致，考生应对此类题目应该较为容易，准确率较高；其中观点态度题型占比最重，难度上略有增加，需要学生根据上下文中的结构关系，进行综合性分析，提炼主题要义进行题目的分析理解，进而匹配正确选项，因此学生应对此类题目时可能会感觉较为模糊，不能轻易确定答案。
本篇文章中的传统细节题较为直接明了，在题干中找到关键信息词，在文中进行一一匹配即可获得正确选项，例如第四篇文中的第36题，直接找到第一段的定位句，匹配选项A 即可。
而观点细节题主要涉及对人物观点及作者观点的提问，需要考生对于文章上下段落的结构有一个比较精准的把握，对文中意思进行深入理解，找出主题，与此同时，与选项进行一一匹配排除，才能选出正确答案。
譬如说39题中对于人物观点细节的考查，考生不仅需要找到五段中的精准定位，提炼关键词“structural”，还需要在第六段的论据中找到“structural”的具体体现，明确这种结构式的改变即是自上而下的过程，才能确定正确选项。
由此可见，在题目的理解上，要加注对于上下文的主题的综合考虑。
最后，仅有一道的推理题，难度最高，需要考生对文章的理解要更为深入，实际上也是与上下文中综合体现的中心思想有着紧密的练习，只有统一细节与主题，才能更好的确定答案。
简而言之，题目的设置规律与往年一致，重点仍旧是对于细节理解与推理能力的考查，只不过针对题目的理解而言，需要考生能更好的把握段落和文章的主题，将细节与主题相统一，才能更准确确定答案，一定要谨记我们课堂中的命题原则，相信今年的同学们一定会考出理想的成绩。
预祝大家金榜题名！

2019年英语二阅读第4篇
2019年英语二阅读第4篇Okay, here's a sample of a conversational and informal writing style for the fourth reading passage of English Test II in 2019, adhering to the given requirements:Man, I tell you, that article was intense! I mean, it was all about the latest advancements in technology and how it's changing our lives. You know, like those super-smart homes that can learn your habits and adjust the temperature or lighting accordingly? Crazy, huh?And then there was this bit about virtual reality becoming more and more realistic. I mean, people are actually starting to forget they're in a simulation! It's like the Matrix, but without the evil robots trying to take over. Still, it's a bit scary to think about.But what really caught my attention was the section on artificial intelligence and how it's becoming more and more human-like. I read about these robots that can haveconversations with you, almost like a real person. It's amazing and a bit freaky at the same time.And of course, there was a part about the ethical implications of all these advancements. You know, like when does a machine become sentient? Or when do we need to start treating robots as equals? It's a tough question, and one that we'll have to grapple with as technology continues to evolve.Overall, it was an interesting read. It definitely got me thinking about where we're headed and what the future might hold. I mean, who knows?。

I first met Paul Newman in 1968, when George Roy Hill, the director of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid , introduced us in New York City. When the studio didn’t want me for the film - it wanted somebody as well known as Paul - he stood up for me. I don’t know how many people would have done that; they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers.The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference, we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV. We were respectful of craft （技艺） and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play. Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors: humorous, aggressive, and making fun of each other - but always with an underlying affection. Those were also at the core （核心） of our relationship off the screen.We shared the brief that if you’re fortunate enough to have success, you should put something back - he with his Newman’s Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill, and me with Sundance and theinst itute and the festival. Paul and I didn’t see each other all that regularly, but sharing that brought us together. We supported each other financially and by showing up at events.I last saw him a few months ago. He’d been in and out of the hospital. He and I both knew what the deal was, and we didn’t talk about it. Ours wasa relationship that didn’t need a lot of words.1. Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to author at first?A.Paul Newman wanted it.B.The studio pow ers didn’t like his agent.C.He wasn’t famous enough.D.The director recommended someone else.2.

What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to?A.Their belief.B.Their care for chileden.C.Their success.D.Their support for each other.4. What is the author’s purpose in writing the test?A.To show his love of films.B.To remember a friend.C.To introduce a new movie.D.To share his acting experience.3. Terrafugia Inc. said Monday that its new flying car has completed its first flight, bringing the company closer to its goal of selling the flying car within the next year. The vehicle-named the Transition – has two seats ，four wheels and wings that fold up so it can be driven like a car. The Transition, which flew at 1,400 feet for eight minutes last month, can reach around 70 miles per hour on the road and 115 in the air. It flies using a 23-gallon tank of gas and bums 5 gallons per hour in the air. On the ground, it gets 35 miles per gallon.Around 100 people have already put down a $10,000 deposit to get a Transition when they go on sale, and those numbers will likely rise after Terrafugia introduces the Transition to the public later this week at the New York Auto Show. Bu t don’t expect it to show up in too many driveways. It’s expected to cost $279,000.And it won’t help if you’re stuck in traffic. The car needs a runway.Inventors have been trying to make flying cars since the 1930s, according to Robert Mann, an airline industry expert. But Mann thinks Terrafugia has come closer than anyone to making the flying car a reality. The govemment has already permitted the company to use special materials to make it easier for the vehicle to fly. The Transition is now going through crash tests to make sure it meets federal safety standards.Mann said Terrafugia was helped by the Federal Aviation Administration’s decision five years ago to create a separate set of standards for light sport aircraft, which are lower than those pilots of larger planes Terrafugia saysan owner would need to pass a test and complete 20 hours of flying time to be able to fly the Transition, a requirement pilots would find redatively easy to meet.1. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. The basic data of the Transition.B. The advantages of flying cars.C. The potential market for flying cars. C. The designers of the Transition.2. Why is the Transition unlikely to show up in too many driveways?A. It causes traffic jams.B. It is difficult to operate.C. It is very expensive.D. It bums too much fuel.3. What is the government’s attitude to the development of the flying car?A. CautiousB. Favorable.C. Ambiguous.D. Disapproving.4. What is the best title for the text?A. Flying Car at Auto ShowB. The Transition’s Fist FlightC.Pilots’Dream Coming TrueD. Flying Car Closer to Reality4. When a leafy plant is under attack , it doesn’t sit qu ietly. Back in 1983,two scientists,Jack Schultz and Ian Baldwin, reported that young maple trees getting bitten by insects send out a particular smell that neighboring plants can get. These chemicals come from the injured parts of the plant and seem to be an alarm.What the plants pump through the air is a mixture of chemicals known as volatile organic compounds,VOCs for short.Scientists have found that all kinds of plants give out VOCs when being attacked .It’s a plant’s way of crying out.But is any onelistening?Apparently.Because we can watch the neighbours react.Some plants pump out smelly chemicals to keep insects away.But others do double duty .They pump out perfumes designed to attract different insects who are natural enemies to the attackers.Once they arrive,the tables areturned .The attacker who was lunching now becomes lunch.In study after study,it appears that these chemical conversations help the neighbors .The damage is usually more serious on the first plant,but the neighbors ,relatively speaking ,stay safer because they heard the alarm and knew what to do.Does this mean that plants talk to each other? Scientists don’t know. Maybe the first plant just made a cry of pain or was sending a message to its own branches, and so, in effect, was talking to itself. Perhaps the neighbors just happened to “overhear” the cry. So information was exchanged, but it wasn’t a true, intentional back and forth.Charles Darwin, over 150 years ago, imagined a world far busier, noisier andmore intimate( 亲密的 ) than the world we can see and hear. Our senses are weak. There’s a whole lot going on.1. What does a plant do when it is under attack?A. It makes noises.B. It gets help from other plants.C. It stands quietlyD. It sends out certain chemicals.2. What does the author mean by “the tables are turned” in paragraph 3?A. The attackers get attacked.B. The insects gather under the table.C. The plants get ready to fight back.D. The perfumes attract natural enemies.3. Scientists find from their studies that plants can________________________ .A.predict natural disastersB.protect themselves against insectsC.talk to one another intentionallyD.help their neighbors when necessary4. what can we infer from the last paragraph?A.The word is changing faster than ever.B.People have stronger senses than beforeC.The world is more complex than it seemsD.People in Darwin’s time were more imaginative.二、七选五5. 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。
