2000-201年考研英语真题及范文
2000-201年考研英语真题及范文2011年小作文Directions: Write a letter to a friend of yours to1. recommend one of your favorite movies and2. give reasons for your recommendationYou should write about 100 words on ANSWER SHEET 2. Don’t sign your name at the end of the letter. Use “Li Ming ” instead. Don’t write the address. Dear Stefanie,How are you doing recently? Last time you asked me to recommend some good movies to you. I happened to watch the movie Inception last week and I want to share it with you.The movie is a science fiction with deliberately designed plot. One thing I have to tell you is that its leading role is casted by your favorite actor, Leonald Dicaprio. The most fantastic thing about the movie is that it tries to make an illusion between reality and dreams, which confuses the characters of the story.I think you have to watch the movie yourself soon to discover all the secrets about our dreams. And we can have more discussion after you see it. Looking forward to your reply.Yours,Liming范文Today, our nation is confronted with the problem of environmental pollution more seriously. As is clearly shown in the picture, in the river floats a boat, surrounded by a surprisingly large number of plastic bottles and cans which are throwed by two young men sitting in the boat and visitors like them. Simple as the picture is, its intended meaning is really profound. It reveals the phenomenon that tourism attractions are ruined by mankind’s littering and destruction. Nowadays, it is common to see food leftovers, plastic bags, fruit peels and other trash in the natural beauty such as lakes and mountains, in the historical buildings, in almost every site of attraction.Not only does this kind of phenomenon show a lack of civilization in our nation, but also destroyes the beauty of the world. The situation being so serious, it is high time that certain measure were taken to stop it. On one hand, it is urgent fot the government to enforce strict laws and regulations to better protect the tourist attractions and our environment. And those who commit the behavior as in the picture should be subject to certain punishment. On the other hand, every individual/citizen need to be aware of the importance of environmental protection. If the solutions mentioned above are well implemented, we can hopefully predict a brighter future of our environment.2010WritingPart A51. Directions:You are supposed to write for the postgraduate association a notice to recruit volunteers for an international conference on globalization, you should conclude the basic qualification of applicant and the other information you think relative.You should w rite about 100 words. Do not sign your o w n name at the end of the letter. Use "postgraduate association" instead.Part B52. Directions:Write an essay of 160-200 words based on the follow ing dra w ing. In your essay, you should1. describe the drawing briefly,2. explain its intended meaning, and then3. give your comments.You should w rite neatly on ANSHWER SHEET 2.答案：Part A51. 应用文参考范文An AnnouncementJan. 9, 2010International Conference on Globalization will be held at our university on March 3rd. Therefore, we, the Postgraduates' Association, are looking for volunteers to help us organize the relevant affairs, such as reception, distribution of documents, and technical support.The applicants with previous experience as volunteers are preferred. Besides, they should be good at computer and oral English, and possess an amicable personality. All the volunteers will be trained in next month with free transportation.If you are interested, please contact us at email of ×××@×××. com before Jan. 15th. Your applications are welcomed.Postgraduates' AssociationPart B52. 范文As is vividly shown in the above picture, the boiling hotpot contains various domestic and alien cultures, whieh could be categorized as literature, moral values and performing arts. The indication of the drawing is that with the development of globalization, cultural blending should be encouraged and maintained.The connotation of the drawing can be interpreted as following. Since China's opening up in 1978, the growth of economy of our country has been promoted. In consequence, the great changes of culture has come up, especially the traditional culture. At present, multi-cultures conflict with each other but also merge into a unique form to a certain degree". As the world is highly integrated today, no country is an isolated island. What every nation faces is the miscellaneous alien culture. Therefore, China needs to assimilate a good deal of foreign progressive culture.Form my point of view, multi-cultures which is extremely vital to a country's prosperity and future development should be protected and kept. Thus people, especially the young, should cultivate an appropriate sense of cultural concept. Only in these ways can we make greater contributions to theworld cultural heritage.2009WritingPart A51. Directions:Restrictions on the use of plastic bags have not been so successful in some regions. "White pollution" is still going on. Write a letter to the editor(s) of your local newspaper to1) give your opinions briefly, and2) make two or three suggestions.You should write about 100 words on ANSWER SHEET 2.Do not sign your own name at the end of the letter. Use "Li Ming" instead.Do not write the address. (10 points)Part B52. Directions:Write an essay of 160-200 words based on the following drawing. In your essay, you should1) describe the drawing briefly,2) explain its intended meaning, and then3) give your comments.You should write neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2. (20 points)答案：Part ADear editors:I am writing the letter in purpose of drawing your attention to the fact that some people still use plastic bags in spite of restrictions on the use of them, and I will try to make some conducive recommendations concerning the white pollution.To begin with, our government should continue to exercise strict control over the production and abuse of plastic bags, punishing those who fail to obey relevant laws and regulations. What’s more, people should be educated from childhood to cultivate the awareness that we have only one planet and our natural resources are exhaustible. Last but not least, there should be some substitutes for plastic bags, such as bags made of paper or cloth which can be reused and degraded.I hope you will find these proposals useful, and I would be ready to discuss this matter with you to further details. Your prompt attention to my recommendations will be highly appreciated.Yours sincerely,Li MingPart BAs is illustrated in the picture, people are all sitting in front of a computer and their working place is just like a spidernet. Obviously, the spidernet symbolizes the Internet and it is hard to say if the net is making people closer to each other or making them farther away from each other.This picture is vivid and humourous but asks us a serious question: is the Internet a blessing or a disaster? On the one hand, the Internet has brought us a lot of conveniences, such as making our work easier and making people more powerful. We can keep track of the world almost at any time and in any place. On the other hand, the development of computer science has given riseto some new problems. For example, people spend more and more time on computers and tile traditional gatherings between family members and friends become dreams that are hard to come true for work on the computer seems to be endless and an occasional greeting through the Internet is prevailing among computer users. Therefore, the wide use of the Internet is to some extent another challenge that tests our wisdom and intelligence.In my opinion, any new invention is a double-blade sword and the Internet is no exception. If we know the limits and disadvantages it may have from the very beginning and use the invention in the right way, we will not be led by the nose and head for destruction.2008WritingPart A51. Directions:You have just come back from Canada and found a music CD in your luggage that you forgot to re- turn to Bob, your landlord there. Write him a letter to1) make an apology, and2) suggest a solution.You should write about 100 words on ANSWER SHEET 2.Do not sign your own name at the end of the letter. Use "Li Ming" instead.Do not write the address. (10 points)Part B52. Directions:Write an essay of 160 - 200 words based on the following drawing. In your essay, you should1) describe the drawing briefly,2) explain its intended meaning, and then3) give your comments.You should write neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2. (20 points)你一条腿，我一条腿；你我一起，走南闯北。
2015年考研英语(一)阅读理解text4详解
2015年考研英语(一)阅读理解text4详解2015年英语(一)的阅读理解Part A部分与2014年相比没有太大改变，考生在考试过程中应继续秉承正确的方法——先读题目，了解题目的要求，再有目的地回到原文中找正确答案。
Text 4 的文章整体来讲不算难，如果对Murdoch (默多克)传媒帝国下属的news of the world (《世界新闻报》)的telephone hacking(电话窃听)丑闻有所了解的话，这篇文章做起来应该是得心应手的，所以多了解背景知识对我们的英语考试有很大帮助。
第36题，According to the first two paragraphs, Elisabeth was upset by_____. 问Elisabeth 因为什么感到生气。
第一段和第二段都是围绕Elisabeth的话展开的，第一段有一个明显的提示词because of，这句话就非常清晰的解释了Elisabeth生气的原因，Integrity had collapsed, she argued, because of a collective acceptance that the only “sorting mechanism”in society should be profit and the market.(诚信崩塌是因为公众都接受这样一个观点：社会的“分拣机制”应该是能盈利的和能做交易的)。
与A选项对应，the consequences of the current sorting mechanism.(现行分拣机制的后果)。
其实就是说Elisabeth主要是因为“dearth of integrity”或“integrity had collapsed”生气，而这正是现行“sorting mechanism”的结果。
第37题，It can be inferred from Paragraph 3 that______. 可以从第3段推断出什么。

Moreover, fishing’s fruit is reducing may thanks to the world’s environment changing caused by people’s behavior ,which gave the water where fish live on the negative effect that kill majority fish or hamper the fishing producing to influence the fishing ecology system.

Having recognized that the importance of protecting fish source and paying attention to consume economically, The fish in water wouldn’t get less or extinct.【第一段点评修改】①As we see from the cartoon above（above作为副词，修饰动词时可以放在动词之后，比如说the question mentioned above；作为介词，具体用法是above the sea；但是作为形容词，修饰名词时，需要放在名词之前）,there exist（因为该段在描绘漫画内容时有时间定位，所以要注意整段的动词时态为过去式并保持一致） two different aspects of fishing（namely引导了该句的分句，所以在这里应加逗号将两个句子隔开） namely it is a brief history of commercial fishing②The first picture shows that fish wandering（这里表示鱼在水中漫游的状态，wandering前面缺少系动词be）in the water and there is（动词时态问题，few修饰可数名词，所以这里系动词要用were） only few boat（使用复数） working on fishing in（渔船在湖面作业应使用介词on，in表示在湖里） the lake③There are numerous fish in the water above （问题同①句）which（这里which引导的从句并不是在修饰前文内容，而同样是漫画中的景象，应与前文为并列关系，所以应使用表并列的连接词，如and，at the same time等） a boat wasoccupied with fishing that what much bigger in size when 1900.（that 从句和when引导的从句缺少谓语动词，从句部分表意不清）④By the contrast, the second picture indicates（动词时态问题）that in 1996 there are（动词时态问题）numerous boats fishing on the water in which it hardly （动词不定式to see前没有谓语部分）to see a few fish whose size was bigger than former.因为文中的问题较多，也涉及到了各方面的知识点，所以这里以第一段为例进行了详细地修改，后面将要注意的问题系统地归纳出来，希望对你有所帮助。
2006年考研英语(一)阅读 text 3精读精讲
2006年考研英语(一)阅读text 3精读精讲全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1Text 3 for Reading Comprehension was Suuuper Long!Oh man, Text 3 on the big reading test for getting into graduate school was really hard! It had a bunch of paragraphs and tons of long words. I had to read it like three times just to kinda get what it was talking about.The passage was all about some guy named John Maynard Keynes. I think he was an economist from a long time ago in England. The text said he came up with ideas that were "revolutionary" for economics. That means his ideas were brand new and different from what other people thought back then.Keynes had this concept called the "paradox of thrift." Say what? I had to look that word up - paradox means something that seems kinda contradictory or goes against what you'd normally expect. So the paradox of thrift is when people try to save more money, but it actually ends up hurting the economy!Here's how it works: Let's say there's a recession happening and people lose their jobs and don't have as much money. To save money, they stop buying as much stuff. But then companies don't have as many customers buying their products. So those companies have to lay off workers to cut costs. More people lose their jobs, so they spend even less money buying stuff. It becomes this big cycle that just makes the recession worse and worse!Keynes said that in situations like that, the government needs to step in and spend more money to boost demand and get things going again. Even if it means going into debt for a while, it's better than letting the recession spiral out of control.The passage talked about how controverial Keynes' ideas were at first. A lot of other economists were like "Whaaat? You want the government to just print more money and spend spend spend during a recession? That's crazy!" Back then, people believed in something called "financial prudence" which basically meant being super frugal and not wasting money or going into debt. So telling governments to borrow tons of cash was blasphemy!But then the Great Depression happened in the 1930s, which was like the worst economic meltdown ever. Keynes' ideas aboutboosting demand and deficit spending were put to the test. Countries that followed his approach seemed to bounce back faster than the ones that stuck to austerity and tight budgets. So even though it sounded bizarre at first, Keynes' revolutionary thinking ended up becoming standard economic policy for governments around the world.There was some other complicated stuff in the passage about liquidity preference theory that went over my head. Something about why people prefer holding cash versus investing it? I got kinda lost on the technical details. But the main point was that Keynes fundamentally changed how economists viewed recessions and the role of government spending.Even today, like a hundred years after Keynes came up with this stuff, politicians still argue about using Keynesian policies or not. Like during the pandemic, a lot of countries did "stimulus spending" of trillions of dollars to prop up their economies. Pretty wild if you think about one guy's ideas having that much global impact!Anyways, that's my take on Text 3 after sweating through reading it for this brutal exam. I'll have to review it a few more times to really nail down the concepts. But hey, at least I got some good practice with my vocabulary - revolutionize, paradox,prudence, liquidity, blasphemy. Mr. Keynes sure liked his fancy economics words! Hopefully breaking it down like this helps it click for the big test. Now where's my snack?篇2Text 3 From the 2006 Graduate English Exam Reading - An Elementary Kid's ExplanationHey kids! Today we're going to take a super deep dive into a reading passage from a really important test that lots of adults have to take. It's called Text 3 from the 2006 Graduate English Entrance Exam. I know, I know, it sounds super boring. But trust me, once I explain it to you, you'll see it's actually pretty interesting!The passage is all about these tiny little creatures called "mites". Mites are sort of like teensy weensy spiders, but not quite. They're so small that you can't even see them without a microscope! The passage tells us all about the incredible, almost unbelievable lives of these miniature mites.It starts off by explaining that mites live basically everywhere - in soil, in water, even inside other animals' bodies! Can you imagine having an entire mite family living inside you? Creepy! The passage says some mites are "parasitic" which means theylive off of a host, kind of like tiny roommates. Except these roommates don't pay any rent!Then it goes into how mites have been around for a super duper long time - like 500 million years! That's waaay before dinosaurs even existed. The longest dinosaurs only lived around 160 million years ago. So mites were crawling around long before T-Rex was even a twinkle in his momma's eye!After that, the passage describes just how many different types of mites there are out there. Get this - scientists have identified over 45,000 different mite species so far! And they think there could be over a million more species that haven't even been discovered yet. A million! That's like, more than the number of Pokémon species. Who knew these tiny critters were so diverse?The passage continues by talking about all the crazy places mites live. Apparently you can find them everywhere from deserts to Antarctic ice. Heck, some mites even live inside people's facial skin! I'm never taking a bath again.It then goes into the mite life cycle, which sounds pretty wild. Mites hatch from tiny eggs as larvae, go through a bunch of molting stages, and can live for months or even years as adults.During that time, they're busy mating, laying eggs, and just generally going about their mite-y business.The author describes how mites feed on all sorts of materials like plants, fungus, clothes, and even dead skin flakes (gross!). Some mites are hunters that paralyze their prey, while others are the hunted and get eaten by bigger bugs. It's a brutal mite eat mite world out there!Then the passage gets into how mites can cause problems for us humans. Some species of mites are parasites that bite us and suck our blood like little vampires. Others trigger allergies and asthma attacks. Yikes! A few mites even damage crops and spread viruses to plants. Those are some Bad Seed mites for sure.But it's not all bad news - the passage also talks about how some mites are actually helpful to people. Like the Garon mite that attacks termites, or the Phytoseiulus mite that protects crops by eating other mite pests. It's like a real-life Spiderman vs. villain battle, but extremely tiny!At the end, the author wraps things up by saying that even though mites are everywhere and super abundant, we still don't know that much about them. There's a whole hidden mite universe out there just waiting to be discovered by curious scientists! Who knows what crazy mite facts they'll uncover next.Phew, that was a lot of info about those little mite creatures, huh? I definitely learned my fair share of new things while reading and explaining this passage. Like did you have any idea just how long mites have been around? Or how many bizarre species exist? I sure didn't!I bet a lot of the grown-ups taking that big exam didn't know most of this mite trivia either. That's why it's good we went over the key details nice and slowly. Hopefully if any of you kids end up taking a graduate exam someday, you'll be prepared to ace the mite questions!Anyway, that's all I've got for dissecting Text 3 from the 2006 Grad English test. Let me know if you need me to go over anything again. And for Pete's sake, check your sheets for mites before going to bed tonight!篇3Hi everyone! Today I'm going to tell you all about a really interesting reading passage from a test for grown-ups who want to go to an even higher level of school called "graduate school." It's all about this smart guy named John Maynard Keynes and his ideas about money and the economy. Get ready, because it's going to be a fun ride!The passage starts off by telling us that Mr. Keynes was born a long time ago in 1883. That's like over 100 years in the past! Can you imagine living back then with no phones, computers or even TVs? It must have been so different. Anyway, he grew up to become a really important economist. That means he studied all about money, jobs, businesses and that kind of stuff.One of the key things Mr. Keynes figured out was that the economy doesn't always run smoothly on its own. Sometimes it gets a little wobbly and unstable. During those times, the government needs to step in and help get things back on track. It's kind of like if you were riding a bike and started swerving all over the place - you'd want someone to come over and help steady you, right?Mr. Keynes had some interesting ideas about what can cause the economy to get wobbly like that bike. One biggie was what he called the "paradox of thrift." Sounds weird, right? But here's what it means: if everybody tries to save up too much money instead of spending it, then businesses struggle because nobody is buying their products. It's definitely a paradox because saving money is usually smart, but if everyone does it at the same time, it messes things up!Another cool idea from Mr. Keynes was that governments should spend money on things like building roads, bridges or schools when the economy is slow. This gives people jobs and helps get money circulating again. It's kind of like if your mom gave you an allowance to go buy ice cream - that small amount she spent gets passed around to the ice cream shop owner, the people who drove the ice cream truck, and everyone involved. One person's spending becomes another person's income!Keynes' ideas really took off though when they helped the economies of many countries recover from the Great Depression in the 1930s. See, prior to Keynes, nobody really understood how to deal with recessions and high unemployment and everything. But following his advice to spend money and get things moving again worked like a charm for places like the United States and Germany. Even today, we still use lots of Keynesian economics when there are downturns.The passage wraps up by discussing how many of Keynes' theories remain very influential, but that some critics these days argue they can also contribute to problematic inflation if not implemented carefully. I don't fully understand inflation myself - it has something to do with prices going up, up, up over time.But I do know that no economic theory is perfect and there are always trade-offs to consider.All in all, I thought this was a really fascinating reading about an economist from way back when who helped shape much of how countries approach recessions, spending and employment even today. Mr. Keynes sure did make a huge impact with his quirky ideas about paradoxes, bicycle riding, and getting money circulating again. Pretty impressive for a guy from wayyy back in 1883!So that's my extremely detailed, kid-friendly summary of the reading passage. I tried to explain Keynes' main theories using lots of simple examples and analogies an elementary student could understand. Let me know if any part was still too confusing or complex! I had fun breaking it all down in a young voice.篇4Hey friends! Today we're going to read a really interesting article from a test that older students take to get into graduate school. It's called Text 3 and it's all about these cool animals called seabirds. Let me tell you what I learned!First, we find out that seabirds are birds that get their food from the ocean. They can fly for super long distances over theopen water to find fish, squid, and other yummy sea critters to eat. Some seabirds even ride on the backs of bigger animals like whales and eat the leftover scraps of food! How cool is that?The article talks about the different types of seabirds. There are gulls, which are those gray and white birds you might see at the beach stealing people's french fries. Then there are petrels, which are smaller dark birds that look a little bit like pirates with their hooked beaks. Crazy, huh?Albatrosses are some of the biggest and most awesome seabirds. They're like the giants of the sky with wings that can spread out over 3 meters wide! That's bigger than a car. No wonder they can fly so far out over the ocean. The article says some albatrosses fly as far as 15,000 kilometers just to find a spot to lay their eggs. That's like flying from my house to the moon and halfway back!But being a seabird isn't all fun and games. They face a lot of dangers like getting caught in fishing nets, having their homes destroyed by pollution, and losing their hunting grounds because of overfishing. That's really sad. The article says almost half of all seabird species are in trouble and might go extinct if we don't help them.So what can we do? Well, we can reduce plastic pollution in the oceans, make sure fishing is done responsibly, and protect the islands and coastlines where seabirds nest and breed. We need to take care of our amazing feathery friends who soar majestically over the waves!Overall, I thought Text 3 taught me so much cool stuff about seabirds that I never knew before. From their crazy long-distance flying abilities, to their pirate bird looks, to the important role they play in ocean ecosystems. Seabirds are simply incredible and we need to do everything we can to make sure they stick around for a long, long time.Wasn't that an awesome read? Let me know if you have any other questions! I'll leave you with one last mind-blowing seabird fact: the tiny Leach's storm petrel weighs less than a pencil but can flap its wings over 2 million times on its yearly migration! That's some true bird power right there. See you next time!篇5Text 3 is Totally Awesome!Hey kids! Today we're going to talk about a really cool reading passage from a big test called the Graduate AdmissionsEnglish Exam. This passage is called Text 3 and it's from the year 2006. Get ready to learn some amazing stuff!Text 3 is all about these tiny creatures called "ants." Have you ever seen ants marching along in a line on the ground? They're these little bugs that live together in colonies and they're super hardworking. The passage tells us loads of fascinating facts about how ants live and behave.First up, did you know that ants can be farmers? It's true! Some ant species actually grow fungi and bacteria as crops to feed their colony. They make special gardens underground just for growing their ant food. How neat is that? I didn't know insects could be farmers until I read this passage.Another wild fact is that some ants can slaughter and eat other bugs! The passage describes different types of ants that are expert hunters. They go out and catch creatures like termites to feed to the colony. Some even grow fungi that can paralyze and kill insects for the ants to munch on. Pretty gruesome for such tiny critters, huh?But the coolest part is about these ants called "Leafcutter Ants." These guys are master architects and builders. They construct these massive nests underground made of soil and pieces of leaves. The nests can be as big as a multi-story houseand have elaborate tunnel systems underground. And get this - millions of ants live together in one of these mega-nests! It's like an entire ant city beneath our feet. Mind-blowing, right?The passage goes into a ton of detail about how the Leafcutter Ants divide up all the work to keep their colony going. There are worker ants just for cutting leaves, others for carrying the leaf chunks back, ants that chew up the leaves, gardener ants that grow fungi on the leaves for food, and even a queen ant running the whole show. It's like they have a miniature society with everyone doing their specific job. So well-organized for little bugs!My favorite fact from the whole reading was about how the Leafcutter Ants get new ants to join their colony. Apparently, if they come across another ant colony, they'll kidnap unsuspecting baby ants and bring them home! Once those baby ants grow up, they just think they're part of the Leafcutter colony and start working. How crazy is that? It's like the Leafcutters have their own ant adoption program.There was so much jam-packed into this reading about the secret world of ants. I never knew insects could be so clever and do such incredible things as farmers, builders, hunters and kidnappers! This text just goes to show that some of the mostamazing stuff is happening all around us, we just have to look a little closer at the world's tiniest creatures.Learning about ants from Text 3 was an absolute blast. I can't wait to go searching for some ant colonies myself and see if I can spot any Leafcutters hauling leaves or making their intricate nests. The mysteries of the ant kingdom await! Thanks for reading along, kids. Let me know if any of you amazing ant facts blew your mind too!篇6Text 3 for the Big KidsHi friends! Today we're gonna talk about a really cool reading passage from a very important test called the 2006 Graduate Entrance Exam. It's all about these tiny things called nanotubes. They're like a million times smaller than a human hair! Can you even imagine something that tiny? Well let me tell you all about them.Nanotubes are made from carbon, which is the same stuff that pencil lead is made from. But instead of being a dull gray color, nanotubes are these amazing hollow tubes that can be thinner than a strand of DNA! DNA is that codey stuff that has allthe instructions to make you, me, plants, animals, everything. So nanotubes are seriously small.The cool thing about them is they are super strong, like way stronger than steel! They can stretch and bend without breaking too. Some scientists think we could use them to make spaceships and elevators that go into outer space one day. How awesome would that be?? We could visit aliens and see other planets!Nanotubes also conduct electricity better than copper wires do. That means they could make our phones and computers way faster if we used them instead of regular wires. No more waiting forever for videos to load!But get this - nanotubes aren't justfor making elevators to space and hyper-speed phones. They could also help sick people! Some scientists want to use them to deliver medicine right inside people's bodies. The tiny nanotubes could go where they need to go and give the medicine directly to the place that's sick or injured. That way less medicine would be needed since it wouldn't get spread all over. Pretty neat, right?There's more though! Nanotubes might be able to suck up toxic pollution from the air and water to help keep our planet clean. Or they could be used to make artificial muscles that couldmake robots move just like real arms and legs. The possibilities seem endless!Another tricky thing is figuring out how to make nanotubes with different properties depending on what you need them for. Like if you want them to be conductive for electronics, or super strong for building materials, or have a certain flexibility. The passage says it's hard to control all of the properties you want.But don't worry, the smart scientists are working really hard to overcome these challenges! The passage says they are coming up with clever techniques using chemistry and electrical fields to precisely control the size, structure and properties of the nanotubes. That way we can get exactly what we need for different uses.There are still many mysteries about nanotubes too. Like, what illrecipes do to people if they breathe them in over a long time? The passage mentions some scientists are worried nanotubes could cause health risks kind of like asbestos did when it was used for insulation and fireproofing. Yikes! More research is needed there.Overall though, the passage has a pretty positive outlook on nanotubes. It says their potential seems "extraordinary" and talks about their "remarkable" properties. The author seems to thinknanotubes will lead to all kinds of revolutionary technologies in electronics, materials, energy and medicine once we figure out how to manufacture them perfectly.Well that's the main gist of this reading about nanotubes. I tried to explain it in a fun, easy to understand way without getting too bogged down in technical mumbo-jumbo. Nanotubes are these crazy tiny, but super strong and useful materials that could change the world! From building ultra-light spaceships, to delivering medicine inside the bodylike tiny missiles, to cleaning up pollution - nanotubes might be able to do it all one day. If we can learn to control and produce them better.。

最新版考研英语阅读理解160篇（简介）众所周知,考研英语“得阅读理解者得天下”。
本书的编写基于这样一个理念：因近两年考研英语阅读理解中较稳定的部分是阅读理解和英译汉两部分，而这两部分又是考生夯实基础的关键；本着对考生负责的态度及切实提高考生成绩的愿望，我们特精心编写了这本由阅读理解和英译汉两部分组成的强化教材。
为了配合此书的有效复习，我们还同期编写出版了集语言学习与文化学习于一身的《考研英语词汇宝典》，协助考生扩大词汇量和熟词新义的知识面。
本书的编写侧重于以下几个特点的体现：文章大都选自英美重要报刊书籍，内容涉及社会科学（主要包括社会学、人类学、教育学、心理学、经济、管理、金融等领域）、自然科学（主要包括交通、物理、化学、生物、工程、计算机、医学、农业等领域）和人文科学（主要包括哲学、历史、文学、语言、新闻、艺术等领域）。
同时，我们按照考纲要求对这些原版文章进行了改写，使之更具有可命题性，在设置题目时也尽量按照近两年的命题原则进行编写，这两项特点均在本书的语篇或题目中有所注明。
我们在对每篇文章仔细研读的基础上，对文中出现的长难句进行了深入剖析，以期使考生的阅读与翻译水平同步提高；且对每篇文章都进行了更加全面彻底的全文精译；同时通过“核心及超纲词汇”注释及译文中的“重点词汇短语再现”这种双语即英汉同步训练的形式，全方位服务于考生，以期达到使考生在短期内攻克单词关的目的。
其次，我们还加大了对文章的解析力度，并对每道题的考点出处都进行了标注，以方便考生查阅，使考生在复习的过程中能真正达到举一反三的目的。
增加了阅读功能表。
我们对每个语篇的阅读及答题都提出了建议时间，考生可用自己实际测验所花的时间与之比较来对自己的阅读速度进行了解并改进。
同时，表中留有“答题备忘”的空栏，方便考生对自己的阅读及答题情况进行总结记录。
如此，考生在复习完此书时，能方便地掌握自己在每一时期的复习情况。
衷心祝愿大家成功考取理想的学校和专业！------------一、英语阅读理解的命题特点------------一、英语阅读理解的命题特点（一）阅读理解的命题特点1. 阅读理解的定义及其对答题的启发阅读理解的定义有很多，但总起来我们认为，阅读理解本质上是认知能力、逻辑思维能力、社会文化背景知识与语言知识相结合的心理活动过程。
我们可以图示如下：以上定义的启发意义在于：读者需要利用文章的各种关联信息，主动进行推理解题，并在这一认知心理过程中，充分利用“心理直译带动语篇理解”的快读方法。
多年的考研辅导与教学经验表明：难点和考点是相通的，了解难点是阅读的基点，判断考点是解题的目的。
我们向考生推荐的是这样一种应试观点：“难点即为考点”。
具体地讲，难点和考点的统一是指平时多了解难点，不断攻克难点就等于在主动把握应试考点。
难点是客观存在的语言点，也就是我们可以直接察觉到的考点。
难点与考点的关系为：难点都可以作考点，但考点不一定都是难点，它也涉及到方法和技巧等因素。
那么，什么是阅读理解题型的难点考点呢?我们认为，阅读理解题目或题干是考点既然是不言而喻的，那么，答对阅读理解题目，实质上就是如何通过考点努力在语篇当中找到难点的认知过程；找到了难点就成功，找不到难点就失败。
2. 阅读理解复习策略虽然大纲中依然提到“考生应能读懂……与本人学习或工作有关的文献、技术说明和产品介绍等”，但是根据考研英语阅读的一贯出题风格，阅读文章中出现“技术说明和产品介绍”这种文体的可能性比较小，因此，针对大纲中对考生的阅读要求，建议考生对阅读理解部分采取以下两点复习策略：（1）迅速突破单词关考研阅读虽然只要求5500个左右的单词，但是在历年真题中经常出现熟词生义、一词多义等现象，另外有相当一部分考生在通过四六级考试之后放松了英语学习，所以对多数考生而言，在目前阶段，最关键的就是要迅速恢复自己的单词水平，并要特别关注在考研中经常出现的熟词生义和一词多义。
考研大纲附录中的单词表看起来比较简陋，但是却简单明了，一目了然，是帮助考生记单词的好帮手，建议同学们可以迅速背诵三遍这个单词表，同时选出自己不熟悉的、未曾掌握的单词，集中力量，重点消灭，这里我们建议考生选用由索玉柱、商志两位老师编著的2007版《考研英语词汇宝典》，此书以最新考试题型为标准统领了大纲规定的所有单词（组），同时突出了单词的熟词生义与一词多义功能，并对高频的超纲词作了归纳总结。
这样，通过两个月左右的强化训练，同学们应当能够初步越过词汇这一大障碍。
（2）适当阅读时文所谓时文，是指时效性比较强的英美报刊文摘。
在历年的考研阅读文章中，时文占到相当大的比例。
这要求考生真正做到：“国事、家事、天下事，事事关心。
”考生在准备过程中可以多通过网络阅读一些西方报纸刊物上的文章，一方面熟悉内容，另一方面也可以从中学到很多精彩的语言点。
考研英语中，阅读理解是重头戏，占总分值的60%。
阅读理解做的好与坏，直接关系到考生整个的英语成绩。
因此提高阅读水平是每个考生的迫切希望。
那么，要怎样才能在最短的时间内提高阅读水平呢？笔者根据多年的教学经验建议考生不妨从以下三方面入手：①泛读各类文章，增强背景知识根据语言习得的规律，背景知识对阅读理解水平有着重要的影响。
国内外许多语言学专家在谈到背景知识的作用时都认为：在做阅读理解时，考生对文章内容的熟悉程度有时要比其本身的语言水平更重要。
不同于四、六级考试，考研阅读文章多以议论、说明文为主。
而题材涉及各种社会问题、经济、历史、天文、地理、国际热点、体育、交通、动植物、环境保护、生态平衡、社会进化、伦理道德、哲学、心理学、科学技术等广泛的社会科学和自然科学各个领域。
因此考生在复习迎考时，要有针对性地选读一些有关各学科知识的文章，留意各类评论性文章（数量无须太多，但要以近年的热点话题为主），增加一些背景知识，有意识地强化记忆有关词汇，以便能理解考试中将会遇到的各种内容的文章，从而收到事半功倍的效果。
③掌握正确的阅读方法提高阅读能力，还必须掌握正确的阅读方法。
根据不同的目的而采用不同的阅读方法。
一般来说，阅读方法有以下几种：A. 略读法（skimming）略读就是有所省略地读，而不是逐字逐句读。
不要花时间去琢磨难句和生词，而要对文章有个总体的轮廓，领会文章的大意或中心思想。
在阅读时，考生可有意识地读取段落的段首或段尾。
B. 扫读法（scanning）扫读法也称为查读法（fast reading）、寻读法（searching reading）、高效阅读法（expeditious reading）。
这种方法的目的是找出某些特定信息或回答阅读理解题所需要的事实及依据。
在对通篇文章疏而不漏的快速扫描中，迅速定位信息点，而和内容无关或关系不大的部分则可一带而过。
C. 研读法（scouring）研读法又称细读法（reading for full understanding）。
研读法是指在阅读期间仔细研究篇章内容，不仅要掌握文章的大致内容，还要清楚了解和理解篇章涉及的一切细节。
4. 阅读理解试题的考点类型因果关系题【例1】According to the author, what may chiefly be responsible for the moral decline of Japanese society?【例2】To achieve the desired result, humorous stories should be delivered .语义归纳题【例1】From the last paragraph the conclusion can be drawn that ambition should be maintained .【例2】From the first three paragraphs we can see that the writerseems .细节判断题【例1】What used to be the danger in being a man according to the first paragraph?【例2】Which of the following is true according to the author?主旨大意题【例1】Which of the following would be the best title for the text?【例2】What is the purpose of writing this text?推理暗示题【例1】The last sentence of the first paragraph most probably implies that it is .【例2】It can be inferred from the text that public services .词语释义题【例1】“Juggling one s life”probably means living a life characterized by .【例2】The word “gizmos”(Line 1,Para. 2) most probably means .※为了便于复习，我们将近6年阅读理解的题干考点特征归纳如下：年份/题干2004年2005年2006年2007年2008年2009年因果关系题5题3题2题4题3题3题语义归纳题5题5题4题4题4题3题细节判断题6题5题4题3题4题4题主旨大意题1题2题2题2题3题4题推理暗示题2题3题6题5题4题4题词语释义题1题2题2题2题2题2题根据上表，我们不妨预测2010年英语阅读题干的命题总体趋向，大致有三个方面：(1)细节判断题、因果关系题归纳题充当主要考点，是考生平时的复习重点。
(2)推理题是考生平时要攻克的难点，此类题目答对率很低。
(3)语义归纳题是2010年复习的一个要点。
（二）英译汉的命题特点英语阅读理解英译汉即英汉翻译题型的难点是以长句、复杂句、逻辑语义关系交错为主要特征的。
考研英译汉题目将难点设为考点是不言而喻的。
难点是客观存在的语言点，也就是可以察觉到的考点。
考点是为了考核考生的语篇理解能力和用汉语表达出原文意思的翻译能力。
翻译题型具体要求考生应根据短文的上下文将划线部分译成汉语；汉语译文要求内容准确、完整。
从翻译题型的定位特征来看，难点与考点的关系为：难点都可以作考点，但考点不一定都是难点，还要涉及到翻译方法和技巧等因素。
因此，无论是为了提高语言能力还是为了强化英汉训练，都要求考生领会下列英汉翻译题型的定位特征：第一，突出对长句的直译理解及正向进行汉译的准确性。
第二，突出对逻辑语义关系的意译表达。
（注意本书所提及的逻辑语义关系，特指语句之间的对比关系、因果关系、条件关系等。
