This is now a question for Gloria Mackenzie, an 84-year-old widow who recently emerged from her small, tin-roofed house in Florida to collect the biggest undivided lottery jackpot in history. If she hopes hernew-found for tune will yield lasting feelings of fulfillment, she could doworse than read Happy Money by Elizabeth Dumn and Michael Norton.These two academics use an array of behavioral research to show that the mostrewarding ways to spend money can be counterintuitive. Fantasies of great wealthoften involve visions of fancy cars and extravagant homes. Yet satisfaction withthese material purchases wears off fairly quickly what was once exciting and newbecomes old-hat; regret creeps in. It is far better to spend money on experiences, say Ms Dumn and Mr Norton, like interesting trips, unique meals or even going tothe cinema. These purchases often become more valuable with time-as storiesor memories-particularly if they involve feeling more connected to others.This slim volume is packed with tips to help wage slaves as well as lotterywinners get the most "happiness bang for your buck." It seems most people would bebetter off if they could shorten their commutes to work, spend more time with friends and family and less of it watching television(something the average American spends a whopping two months a year doing, and is hardly jollier for it).Buying gifts orgiving to charity is often more pleasurable than purchasing things for oneself,and luxuries are most enjoyable when they are consumed sparingly. This is apparentlythe reason MacDonald's restricts the availability of its popular McRib - a marketing trick that has turned the pork sandwich into an object of obsession.Readers of “ HappyMoney”are clearly a privileged lot,anxious about fulfillment, not hunger.Money may not quite buy happiness,but people in wealthier countries are generally happier than those in poor ones. Yet the link between feeling good andspending money on others can be seen among rich and poor people around the world,and scarcity enhances the pleasure of most things for most people.Not everyone will agree with the authors’ policy ideas,which range from mandating more holiday time to reducing tax incentives for American homebuyers.But most people will come away from this book believing it was money well spent。

考研英语(一)长难句解析系列——2015年阅读Text4

考研英语（一）长难句解析系列——2015年阅读Text4本文选自2014年6月29日The Observer上一篇名为As the hacking trial proves, we lack moral purpose in public life的文章，主要通过《世界新闻报》电话窃听案的审理这一事件，分析了当前社会中道德丧失问题存在的原因，尤其是在新闻产业中的一系列体现。

全文中在长难句方面，难度还是比较大的。

作为2015年阅读部分的第四篇文章，其中的复杂长难句不算少，其中又多集中在前半部分，句子较长且内容又涉及电话窃听案，因此给考生们造成了理解上的困难，尤其是对该热点没有太多关注的同学来说，读起来就更加困难了。

后半部分的内容涉及对公司管理层的讨论，易于理解，且语言相对简单，所以难度不是特别大。

但是就整体来说，难度集中在前面，会给考生造成较大压力，且不利于理解文章。

下面就其中的典型例句进行分析：【典型例句1】：Integrity had collapsed, she argued, because of a collective acceptance that the only “sorting mechanism”in society should be profit and the market.【例句解析】：本句主干为Integrity had collapsed。

she argued由两个逗号隔开，属插入语，可先不看。

because of a collective acceptance that the only “sorting mechanism”in society should be profit and the market属because of 介词短语引导的原因状语，其中又包含that引导的同位语从句解释说明acceptance的内容。

【难点点拨】：a collective acceptance：一个共同的接受，实际上指的就是“人们普遍认为”。

Section II Reading Comprehension Part ADirections: Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. (40 points)Text 1King Juan Carlos of Spain once insisted kings don't abdicate, they die in their sleep. But embarrassing scandals and the popularity of the republican left in the recent Euro-elections have forced him to eat his words and stand down. So, dies the Spanish crisis suggest that monarchy is seeing its last days? Does that mean the uniting is on the wall for all European royals, with their magnificent uniforms and majestic lifestyles?The Spanish case previous arguments both for and against monarchy when public opinion is particularly. Polarized, as it was following the end of the France regime, monarchs can rise above "mere" politics and "embody" a spirit of national unity.It is this apparent transcendence of politics that explains monarchs continuing popularity as heads of states. And so, the Middle East expected, Europe is the most monarch-infested region is the world, with 10 kingdoms (not counting Vatican city and Andorra). But unlike their absolutist counterparts in the Gulf and Asia, most royal families have survived because they allow voters to avoid the difficult search for a non-controversial but respect public figure.Even so, kings and queens undoubtedly have a downside, symbolic of national unity as they claim to be, their very history—and sometimes the way they behave today-embodies outdated and indefensible privileges and inequalities. At a time when Thomas Piketty and other ecumenists are warning of rising inequality and the increasing power of inheritedwealth, it is bizarre that wealthy aristocratic families should still be the symbolic heart of modern democratic families should still be the symbolic heart of modern democratic states. The most successful monarchies strive to abandon or hide their old aristocratic ways. Prince and princess have day-jobs and ride bicycles, not horses (or helicopters). Even so, these are wealthy families who party with the international 1%, and media intrusiveness makes it increasingly difficult to maintain the right image.While Europe's monarchies will no doubt be smart enough to strive for some time to come, it is the British royals who have most to fear from the Spanish example.It is only the Queen who has preserved the monarchy reputation with her rather ordinary (if well-healed) granny style. The danger will come with Charles, who has both an expensive taste of lifestyle and a pretty hierarchical view of the world. He has failed to understand that monarchies have largely survived because they provide a service—as non-controversial and non-political heads of state. Charles ought to know that as English history shows, it is kings of republicans, who are the monarchy's worst enemies.21、According to the first two paragraphs, king Juan Carl of span_____.ed to enjoy high public supportB.was unpopular among European royalsC.ended his reign in embarrassmentD.eased his relationship with his rivals正确答案是：C22、Monarchs are kept as head of state in European mostly_____.A.owing to their undoubted and respectable statusB.to achieve a balance between tradition and realityC.to give voters more public figures to look up toD.due to their everlasting political embodiment正确答案是：A23、Which of the following is shown to be odd, according to Paragraph 4?_____.A.Aristocrats' excessive reliance on inherited wealth.B.The simple lifestyle of the aristocratic families.C.The role of the nobility in modern democracies.D.The nobility's adherence to their privileges.正确答案是：C24、The British royals "have most to fear" because Charles_____.A.takes a tough line on political issues.B.fails to change his lifestyle as advised.C.takes republicans as his potential allies.D.fails to adapt himself to his future role.正确答案是：B25、Which of the following is the best title of the text?_____.A.Carlos, Glory and Disgrace CombinedB.Carlos, a Lesson for All European MonarchsC.Charles, Slow to React to the Coming ThreatsD.Charles, Anxious to Succeed to the Throne正确答案是：BText 2Just how much does the Constitution protect your digital data?

The policy follows similar efforts from other journals, after widespread concern that basic mistakes in data analysis are contributing to the irreproducibility of many published research findings."Readers must have confidence in the conclusions published in our journal," writes McNutt in an editorial. Working with the American Statistical Association, the journal has appointed seven experts to a statistics board of reviewing editors (SBoRE). Manu will be flagged up for additional scrutiny by the journal's internal editors, or by its existing Board of Reviewing Editors or by outside peer reviewers. The SBoRE panel will then find external statisticians to review these manuscripts.Asked whether any particular papers had impelled the change, McNutt said:"The creation of the 'statistics board'was motivated by concerns broadly with the application of statisticsand data analysis in scientific research and is part of Science's overall drive to increase reproducibility in the research we publish."Giovanni Parmigiani, a biostatistician at the Harvard School of Public Health, a member of the SBoRE group, says he expects the board to "play primarily an advisory role." He agreed to join because he "found the foresight behind the establishment of the SBoRE to be novel, unique and likely to have a lasting impact. This impact will not only be through the publications in Science itself, but hopefully through a larger group of publishing places that may want to model their approach after Science."31、It can be learned from Paragraph I that_____.A.Science intends to simplify its peer-review process.B.journals are strengthening their statistical checks.C.few journals are blamed for mistakes in data analysis.ck of data analysis is common in research projects.正确答案是：B32、The phrase “flagged up ”(Para.2)is the closest in meaning to_____.A.found.B.revised.C.markedD.stored正确答案是：C33、Giovanni Parmigiani believes that the establishment of the SBoRE may_____.A.pose a threat to all its peersB.meet with strong oppositionC.increase Science's circulation.D.set an example for other journals正确答案是：D34、David Vaux holds that what Science is doing now_____.A.adds to researchers’workload.B.diminishes the role of reviewers.C.has room for further improvement.D.is to fail in the foreseeable future.正确答案是：C35、Which of the following is the best title of the text?_____A.Science Joins Push to Screen Statistics in PapersB.Professional Statisticians Deserve More RespectC.Data Analysis Finds Its Way onto Editors' DesksD.Statisticians Are Coming Back with Science正确答案是：AText 4Two years ago, Rupert Murdoch's daughter, Elisabeth, spoke of the "unsettling dearth of integrity across so many of our institutions". Integrity had collapsed, she argued, because of a collective acceptance that the only "sorting mechanism" in society should be profit and the market. But "it's us, human beings, we the people who create the society we want, not profit”.Driving her point home, she continued: "It's increasingly apparent that the absence of purpose, of a moral language within government, media or business could become one of the most dangerous goals for capitalism and freedom." This same absence of moral purpose was wounding companies such as News International, she thought, making it more likely that it would lose its way as it had with widespread illegal telephone hacking. As the hacking trial concludes—finding guilty one ex-editor of the News of the World, Andy Coulson, for conspiring to hack phones, and finding his predecessor, Rebekah Brooks, innocent of the same charge—the wider issue of dearth of integrity still stands. Journalists are known to have hacked the phones of up to 5,500 people. This is hacking on an industrial scale, as was acknowledged by Glenn Mulcaire, the man hired by the News of the World in 2001 to be the point person for phone hacking. Others await trial. This saga still unfolds.In many respects, the dearth of moral purpose frames not only the fact of such widespread phone hacking but the terms on which the trial took place. One of theastonishing revelations was how little Rebekah Brooks knew of what went on in her newsroom, how little she thought to ask and the fact that she never inquired how the stories arrived. The core of her successful defence was that she knew nothing.In today's world, it has become normal that well-paid executives should not be accountable for what happens in the organizations that they run. Perhaps we should not be so surprised. For a generation, the collective doctrine has been that the sorting mechanism of society should be profit. The words that have mattered are efficiency, flexibility, shareholder value, business-friendly, wealth generation, sales, impact and, in newspapers, circulation. Words degraded to the margin have been justice, fairness, tolerance, proportionality and accountability.The purpose of editing the News of the World was not to promote reader understanding, to be fair in what was written or to betray any common humanity. It was to ruin lives in the quest for circulation and impact. Ms. Brooks may or may not have had suspicions about how her journalists got their stories, but she asked no questions, gave no instructions—nor received traceable, recorded answers.36、According to the first two paragraphs, Elisabeth was upset by_____.A.the consequences of the current sorting mechanism.panies' financial loss due to immoral practicesernmental ineffectiveness on moral issues.D.the wide misuse of integrity among institutions.正确答案是：A37、It can be inferred from Paragraph 3 that_____.A.Glenn Mulcaire may deny phone hacking as a crime.B.more journalists may be found guilty of phone hacking.C.Andy Coulson should be held innocent of the charge.D.phone hacking will be accepted on certain occasions.正确答案是：B38、The author believes that Rebekah Brooks's defence_____.A.revealed a cunning personality.B.centered on trivial issues.C.was hardly convincing.D.was part of a conspiracy.正确答案是：C39、The author holds that the current collective doctrine shows_____.A.generally distorted values.B.unfair wealth distribution.C.a marginalized lifestyle.D.a rigid moral code.正确答案是：A40、Which of the following is suggested in the last paragraph?_____A.The quality of writings is of primary importance.mon humanity is central to news reporting.C.Moral awareness matters in editing a newspaper.D.Journalists need stricter industrial regulations.正确答案是：CSection II Reading Comprehension Part BDirections: The following paragraphs are given in a wrong order.

The SBoRE panel will then find external statisticians to review these manuscripts.Asked whether any particular papers had impelled the change, McNutt said:"The creation of the 'statistics board'was motivated by concerns broadly with the application of statistics and data analysis in scientific research and is part of Science's overall drive to increase reproducibility in the research we publish."Giovanni Parmigiani, a biostatistician at the Harvard School of Public Health, a member of the SBoRE group, says he expects the board to "play primarily an advisory role." He agreed to join because he "found the foresight behind the establishment of the SBoRE to be novel, unique and likely to have a lasting impact. This impact will not only be through the publications in Science itself, but hopefully through a larger group of publishing places that may want to model their approach after Science."31、It can be learned from Paragraph I that_____.A.Science intends to simplify its peer-review process.B.journals are strengthening their statistical checks.C.few journals are blamed for mistakes in data analysis.ck of data analysis is common in research projects.正确答案是：B32、The phrase “flagged up ”(Para.2)is the closest in meaning to_____.A.found.B.revised.C.markedD.stored正确答案是：C33、Giovanni Parmigiani believes that the establishment of the SBoRE may_____.A.pose a threat to all its peersB.meet with strong oppositionC.increase Science's circulation.D.set an example for other journals正确答案是：D34、David Vaux holds that what Science is doing now_____.A.adds to researchers’workload.B.diminishes the role of reviewers.C.has room for further improvement.D.is to fail in the foreseeable future.正确答案是：C35、Which of the following is the best title of the text?_____A.Science Joins Push to Screen Statistics in PapersB.Professional Statisticians Deserve More RespectC.Data Analysis Finds Its Way onto Editors' DesksD.Statisticians Are Coming Back with Science正确答案是：AText 4Two years ago, Rupert Murdoch's daughter, Elisabeth, spoke of the "unsettling dearth of integrity across so many of our institutions". Integrity had collapsed, she argued, because of a collective acceptance that the only "sorting mechanism" in society should be profit and the market. But "it's us, human beings, we the people who create the society we want, not profit”.Driving her point home, she continued: "It's increasingly apparent that the absence of purpose, of a moral language within government, media or business could become one of the most dangerous goals for capitalism and freedom." This same absence of moralpurpose was wounding companies such as News International, she thought, making it more likely that it would lose its way as it had with widespread illegal telephone hacking. As the hacking trial concludes—finding guilty one ex-editor of the News of the World, Andy Coulson, for conspiring to hack phones, and finding his predecessor, Rebekah Brooks, innocent of the same charge—the wider issue of dearth of integrity still stands. Journalists are known to have hacked the phones of up to 5,500 people. This is hacking on an industrial scale, as was acknowledged by Glenn Mulcaire, the man hired by the News of the World in 2001 to be the point person for phone hacking. Others await trial. This saga still unfolds.In many respects, the dearth of moral purpose frames not only the fact of such widespread phone hacking but the terms on which the trial took place. One of the astonishing revelations was how little Rebekah Brooks knew of what went on in her newsroom, how little she thought to ask and the fact that she never inquired how the stories arrived. The core of her successful defence was that she knew nothing.In today's world, it has become normal that well-paid executives should not be accountable for what happens in the organizations that they run. Perhaps we should not be so surprised. For a generation, the collective doctrine has been that the sorting mechanism of society should be profit. The words that have mattered are efficiency, flexibility, shareholder value, business-friendly, wealth generation, sales, impact and, in newspapers, circulation. Words degraded to the margin have been justice, fairness, tolerance, proportionality and accountability.The purpose of editing the News of the World was not to promote reader understanding, to be fair in what was written or to betray any common humanity. It was to ruin lives in the。

详解2015英语二真题阅读Text4

详解2015英语二真题阅读Text42015考研英语已经落下帷幕，今年英二考题的传统阅读部分在选项设计方面难度增加。

下面笔者就阅读第四篇进行深度解析。

第二篇阅读选自2014年7月7日在theHuffington Post发表的名为“The Good News About Obamacare in the June Jobs Report”的文章，就题材来说属于社会生活类，主要内容是描述了奥巴马的医保政策促进了美国的就业及其原因。

文章后五道考题中四道细节题，一道主旨题，其难度与往年第四篇相比趋于稳定。

首先36题是一道细节题。

该题考察了考生对文章第二段前两句的细节理解。

该题主要可采用我们钻石卡VIP课程中经常讲到的细节定位法。

根据题干关键词“job pictures, neglected”可以回文定位到第二段第一句话“the jobs picture ...was largely overlooked”，其中neglected是overlooked的同义替换。

并且此句有明显的命题点“however”。

第二句具体指出被忽略的部分是“there was a big jump in the number of people who report voluntarily working part-time.”，即有大量的人自愿从事兼职工作。

故正确答案为B。

其中increase是原文jump的同义替换，voluntary part-time jobs是voluntarily working part-time的同义转述。

阅读中的这种同义替换也是我们课程中屡次强调的考点。

A选项（蒸蒸日上的用工市场的前景）和D选项（加速创造就业机会）均是对第一段就业形势好的一种描述，并没有说这种现象被忽视。

故排除。

而C选项（全民就业的可能性），文中第一段只是客观描述了我们依然有很长的路才能达到全民就业，而并不是说这种问题被忽略，故C选项排除。

2015年考研英语二深度解析：阅读
TEXT4
2015考研英语刚刚结束，凯程考研第一时间为同学们带来今年阅读部分的深度解析，以下内容是考研英语(二)Text 4的答案及分析：
Part A
Text 4
36题：Which part of the jobs picture was neglected?(工作图的哪个部分被忽视了?)
答案B: The increase of voluntary part-time jobs.
解析：该题属事实细节题。

从neglect与overlook近义词对应的角度来看，很容易确定选项B：The increase of voluntary part-time jobs.
37题：Many people work part-time because they__(许多人从事兼职是因为____) 答案C: cannot get their hands on full-time jobs
解析：该提属分析判断题中的因果分析题。

换言之，就是他们没办法获得全职工作。

由此不难判断，选项C正确： cannot get their hands on full-time jobs 该选项短语“get hands on”表示“获得”与原文中的(all they can) “get”在意义上一致。

38题：Involuntary part-time employment in the US___(美国的非自愿兼职工作____) 答案B: shows a general tendency of decline.
解析：该提属事实细节题。

根据“Involuntary part-time employment”可定位到第3段第4句：An increase in involuntary part-time in June, but the general direction has been down. 整句话语义的重点在转折之后，也就是：大致的趋势是在依然下降。

B 选项“shows a general tendency of decline”中的general tendency对应原文中的 general direction, 而 decline 与 down相对应.
39题：It can be learned that with Obamacare,___(从Obamacare中我们可以得知_____)
答案B: employment is no longer a precondition to get insurance
解析：该题属事实细节题。

答案定位到第5段。

第5段的两句话中，第1句表示Obamacare 的目的是让无业人士也可以拥有保险。

第2句进一步阐释说明，在Obamacare之前，人们想要获得保险必须先获得一份提供保险的工作，而Obamacare改变了这一局面。

故答案为B：employment is no longer a precondition to get insurance
40题：The text mainly discusses____(这篇文章主要探讨了_____)
答案A employment in the US
解析：该题为主旨大意题。

本文的主题可在归纳各段要点后得出。

B选项“兼职工作的分类”以偏概全，仅能概括文章前第2、3段的内容。

C选项属细节干扰项，因Medicaid 仅出现在文章结尾。

D选项Obamacare’s trouble 与作者立场矛盾。

分析各选项，根据排除法得出正确答案A。

虽然有突破口、也有规律可循，但这并不意味着我们可以一劳永逸、高枕无忧，要知道，想要精通世界上任何一门语言，除非有天生的语言天分，否则偷不得半分懒，只能勤勤恳恳反复练习。

一遍不懂读两遍，默念不行就大声念出来，遇到不认识的单词就查，不懂的句子就静下心来拆分结构。

总之，读书百遍、其义自现，英语学习之路上没有笨蛋，只有懒人。

综上就是小编给大家提供的高分技巧，技巧就是牢固的知识点和强悍的答题思路，预祝所有考生2016考研有个好成绩。

小提示：目前本科生就业市场竞争激烈，就业主体是研究生，在如今考研竞争日渐激烈的情况下，我们想要不在考研大军中变成分母，我们需要：早开始+好计划+正确的复习思路+好的辅导班（如果经济条件允许的情况下）。

2017考研开始准备复习啦，早起的鸟儿有虫吃，一分耕耘一分收获。

加油！。
