本文描述了当代社会“人们不愿与陌生人交流”的现象，分析了原因，用实验举例说明与人交流可以让我们获益很多。
第一段提出问题：现代人热衷于玩手机，而不愿与陌生人交流。
第二段阐明观点：与陌生人交流有很多益处，可人们忽略了这些益处。
第三段过渡，提出问题：人们为什么不愿意与陌生人交流？第四、五段解释人们不愿意与陌生人交流的原因。
第六段举例论证与陌生人交流不是那么可怕的事情。
第七段进一步阐述与陌生人交流可以让人愉悦，并得出结论：与陌生人交流会让你感觉到自己与别人息息相关。
Para.1①In our contemporary culture, the prospect of communicating with—or even looking at—a stranger is virtually unbearable. ②Everyone around us seems to agree by the way they cling to their phones, even without a 1 on a subway.译 文①在我们当代的文化中，与陌生人交流——甚至是看陌生人一眼都是令人难以忍受的。
②我们身边每个人好像都同意这个观点，他们一直玩手机，哪怕是在没有信号的地铁里。
语篇分析首句点题，指出现代人对“与陌生人交流”这件事的态度。
第二句描述一个现象作为例证：人们宁愿在没有信号的地铁里一直玩手机，也不愿与陌生人交流，以此证明首句的观点。
289contemporary /kənˈtemprəri/ a.当代的，现代的prospect /ˈprɒspekt/ n.前景；期望virtually /ˈvɜ:tʃuəli/ ad. 实际上，事实上；几乎unbearable /ʌnˈbeərəbl/a.难以忍受的，不能忍受的难句分析In our contemporary culture, the prospect of communicating with—or even looking at—a stranger 时间状语主语插入语主语 is virtually unbearable.系动词表语句子的主干是the prospect...is...unbearable，表示“…前景是…让人难以忍受的”。
In our contemporary culture是时间状语。
两个破折号中间的or even looking at是插入语，分析句子主干的时候可以先忽略它。
virtually是副词，修饰后面的形容词unbearable，意思是“事实上；几乎”。
Para.2①It’s a sad reality—our desire to avoid interacting with other human beings—because there’s 2 to be gained from talking to the stranger standing by you. ②But you wouldn’t know it, 3 into your phone. ③This universal protection sends the 4 : “Please don’t approach me.”译 文①这是一个令人悲伤的现实——我们希望避免与其他人的互动——因为与你身边的陌生人谈话可以让你获益良多。
②但是如果总是翻看手机，你就不会知道这一点。
③这种普遍存在的自我保护行为传递出这样的信息：“请别靠近我。
”语篇分析第二段首句作者提出自己的观点：与陌生人沟通可以让人获益良多。
第二句用强转折词But 开头，进一步阐明观点：是手机让你认识不到这些益处。
第三句话点明原因：因为总是翻看手机的行为传递出“别靠近我”的信息。
考点词汇段落译文reality /riˈæləti/ n.现实interact /ˌɪntərˈækt/ v.相互作用；互动gain /geɪn/ v.获得；赢得plug /plʌg/ v.插上插头universal /ˌju:nɪˈvɜ:sl/ a.普遍的，一般的approach /əˈprəʊtʃ/ v.接近，走近，靠近难句分析It’s a sad reality—our desire to avoid interacting with other human beings—because there’s much 主句插入语to be gained from talking to the stranger standing by you.原因状语从句句子的主干为It’s a sad reality...because there’s much to be gained...。
句中两个破折号之间是插入语，具体说明a sad reality的内容，即我们希望避免与其他人互动。
破折号之后阐述的是现实令人感到悲伤的原因。
standing by you是现在分词短语作后置定语，修饰前面提到的the stranger，表示“站在你身边的陌生人”。
Para.3①What is it that makes us feel we need to hide 5 our screens?译 文①是什么让我们感到需要躲在手机屏幕后面呢？290语篇分析首句引用权威人士的观点，直接说明拒绝与人交流的原因是害怕。
第二句至第四句都以We fear开头，用排比句式具体说明人们在害怕什么。
考点词汇rejection /rɪ'dʒekʃn/ n.拒绝；摒弃innocent /ˈɪnəsnt/a. 无辜的，无罪的；清白的social /ˈsəʊʃl/a.社会的，社会上的advance /ədˈvɑ:ns/n.进展，进步disruptive /dɪsˈrʌptɪv/a.破坏的；扰乱的Para.5①Strangers are inherently 8 to us, so we are more likely to feel 9 when communicating with them compared with our friends and acquaintances. ②To avoid this uneasiness, we 10 to our phones. ③“Phones become our security blanket,” Wortmann says. ④“They are our happy glasses that protect us from what we perceive is going to be more 11 .”译 文①对于我们来说，陌生人原本就不熟悉，所以我们与陌生人交流的时候比与朋友和熟人交流更有可能感到焦虑不安。
②为了避免这种焦虑，我们求助于我们的手机。
③沃特曼说：“手机成了我们的保护伞。
④它们是我们幸福的保护屏障，让我们免于接触那些我们认为更加危险的事物。
”语篇分析第一句话进一步说明人们与陌生人交流时的心理感受。
第二句话用to do形式开头，说明人们为避免这样消极的心理感受所采取的方法。
最后两句引用心理教练的话，进一步说明人们有了手机之后的心理就是有了保护伞。
考点词汇inherently /ɪnˈhɪərəntlɪ/ ad.天性地，固有地unfamiliar /ˌʌnfəˈmɪliə（r）/a.不熟悉的；不常见的acquaintance /əˈkweɪntəns/n.相识的人，熟人turn to 转向，求助于security /sɪˈkjʊərəti/ n.安全perceive /pəˈsi:v/v.意识到；察觉，发觉难句分析Strangers are inherently unfamiliar to us, so we are more likely to feel anxious when主语系动词表语连词主语谓语communicating with them compared with our friends and acquaintances.时间状语291292语篇分析 首句用强转折词But 开头，说明本段内容与上面的段落形成对立关系。
首句是一个新的分论点，即收起手机尝试与陌生人沟通并没有什么害处。
从第二句开始详述了一项实验的内容与结果——实验开始前人们预计独自乘车的旅途会更愉快，但是与陌生人交流的实验完成后，并没有人觉得尴尬。
考点词汇rip off 撕掉band-aid /'bændeɪd/ n.急救绷带，创可贴tuck /tʌk/ vt. 把…塞入；把…藏入smart phone /smɑ:t fəun/智能手机commuter /kəˈmju:tə（r ）/ n. 通勤者unthinkable /ʌnˈθɪŋkəbl/ a. 无法想象的；难以置信的fellow /ˈfeləʊ/ a. 同伴的；同事的predict /prɪˈdɪkt/ vt. 预言，预测summarize /ˈsʌməraɪz/ vt. 总结，概述participant /pɑ:ˈtɪsɪpənt/ n. 参加者，参与者难句分析“When Dr. Epley and Ms. Schroeder asked other people in the same train station to predict how they 时间状语从句would feel after talking to a stranger, the commuters thought their ride would be more pleasant if they sat 宾语从句 主语 谓语 宾语从句（含if 引导的条件状语从句）on their own.”本句为主从复合句，句子的主干是...the commuters thought...。
when 引导时间状语从句，从句中的主语是Dr. Epley and Ms. Schroeder ，predict 后面是一个宾语从句。
主句谓语thought 后面是一个省略了引导词that 的宾语从句，而这个宾语从句里面嵌套了一个if 引导的条件状语从句。

Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. (40 points)Text 1①A new study suggests that contrary to most surveys, people are actually more stressed at home than at work. ②Researchers measured people’s cortisol, which is stress marker, while they were at work and while they were at home and found it higher at what is supposed to be a place of refuge.①“Further contradicting conventional wisdom, we found that women as well as men have lower levels of stress at work than at home,” writes one of the researchers, Sarah Damaske. ②In fac t women even say they feel better at work, she notes, “It is men, not women, who report being happier at home than at work.” ③Another surprise is that the findings hold true for both those with children and without, but more so for nonparents. ④This is why people who work outside the home have better health.①What the study doesn’t measure is whether people are still doing work when they’re at home, whether it is household work or work brought home from the office. ②For many men, the end of the workday is a time to kick back. ③For women who stay home, they never get to leave the office. ④And for women who work outside the home, they often are playing catch-up-with-household tasks. ⑤With the blurring of roles, and the fact that the home front lags well behind the workplace in making adjustments for working women, it’s not surprising that women are more stressed at home.①But it’s not just a gender thing. ②At work, people pretty much know what they’re supposed to be doing: working, making money, doing the tasks they have to do in order to draw an income. ③The bargain is very pure: Employee puts in hours of physical or mental labor and employee draws out life-sustaining moola.①On the home front, however, people have no such clarity. ②Rare is the household in which the division of labor is so clinically and methodically laid out. ③There are a lot of tasks to bedone, there are inadequate rewards for most of them. ④Your home colleagues—your family—have no clear rewards for their labor; they need to be talked into i t, or if they’re teenagers, threatened with complete removal of all electronic devices. ⑤Plus, they’re your family. ⑥You cannot fire your family. ⑦You never really get to go home from home.①So it’s not surprising that people are more stressed at home. ②Not only are the tasks apparently infinite, the co-workers are much harder to motivate.21. According to Paragraph 1, most previous surveys found that home .[A] offered greater relaxation than the workplace.[B] was an ideal place for stress measurement.[C] generated more stress than the workplace.[D] was an unrealistic place for relaxation.22. According to Damaske, who are likely to be the happiest at home?[A] Working mothers. [B] Childless husbands.[C] Working fathers. [D] Childless wives.23. The blurring of working women’s roles refers to the fact that.[A] their home is also a place for kicking back[B] they are both bread winners and housewives[C] there is often much housework left behind[D] it is difficult for them to leave their office24. The word “moola” (Para. 4) most probably means .[A]skills [B]energy[C]earnings [D]nutrition25. The home front differs from the workplace in that .[A]family labor is often adequately rewarded[B]home is hardly a cozier working environment[C]household tasks are generally more motivating[D]division of labor at home is seldom clear-cutText 2①For years, studies have found that first-generation college students—those who do not have a parent with a college degree—lag other students on a range of education achievement factors. ②Their grades are lower and their dropout rates are higher. ③But since such students are most likely to advance economically if they succeed in higher education, colleges and universities have pushed for decades to recruit more of them. ④This has created “a paradox” in that recruiting first-generation students, but then watching many of them fail, means that higher education has “continued to reproduce and widen, rather than close” an achievement gap based on social class, according to the depressing beginning of a paper forthcoming in the journal Psychological Science.①But the article is actually quite optimistic, as it outlines a potential solution to this problem, suggesting that an approach (which involves a one-hour, next-to-no-cost program) can close 63 percent of the achievement gap (measured by such factors as grades) between first-generation and other students.①The authors of the paper are from different universities, and their findings are based on a study involving 147 students (who completed the project) at an unnamed private university.②First generation was defined as not having a parent with a four-year college degree. ③Most ofthe first-generation students (59.1 percent) were recipients of Pell Grants, a federal grant for undergraduates with financial need, while this was true only for 8.6 percent of the students with at least one parent with a four-year degree.①Their thesis—that a relatively modest intervention could have a big impact—was based on the view that first-generation students may be most lacking not in potential but in practical knowledge about how to deal with the issues that face most college students. ②They cite past research by several authors to show that this is the gap that must be narrowed to close the achievement gap.①Many first-generation students “struggle to navigate the middle-class culture of higher education, learn the ‘rules of the game,’ and take advantage of college resources,” they write.②And this becomes more of a problem when colleges don’t talk about the class advantages and disadvantages of different groups of students. ③”Because US colleges and universities seldom acknowledge how social class can a ffect students’ educational experiences, many first-generation students lack insight about why they are struggling and do not understand how students ‘like them’ can improve.”26. Recruiting more first-generation students has .[A] reduced their dropout rates [B] narrowed the achievement gap[C] missed its original purpose [D] depressed college students27. The authors of the research article are optimistic because .[A] their findings appeal to students [B] the recruiting rate has increased[C] the problem is solvable [D] their approach is costless28. The study suggests that most first-generation students .[A] are from single-parent families [B] study at private universities[C] are in need of financial support [D] have failed their collage29. The authors of the paper believe that first-generation students .[A] may lack opportunities to apply for research projects[B] are inexperienced in handling their issues at college[C] can have a potential influence on other students[D] are actually indifferent to the achievement gap30. We may infer from the last paragraph that .[A] universities often reject the culture of the middle-class[B] students are usually to blame for their lack of resources[C] social class greatly helps enrich educational experiences[D] colleges are partly responsible for the problem in questionText 3①Even in traditional offices, “the lingua franca of corporate America has gotten much more emotional and much more right-brained than it was 20 years ago,” said Harvard Business School professor Nancy Koehn. ②She started spinning off examples. ③“If you and I parachuted back to Fortune 500 companies in 1990, we would see much less frequent use of terms like journey, mission, passion.④There were goals, there were strategies, there were objectives, but we didn’t talk about energy; we didn’t talk about passion.”①Koehn pointed out that this new era of corporate vocabulary is very “team”- oriented—and not by coincidence.②“Let’s not forget sports—in male-dominated corporate America, it’s still a big deal.③It’s not explicitly conscious; it’s the idea that I’m a coach, and you’re my team, and we’re in this together. ④There are lots and lots of CEOs in very different companies, but mostthink of themselves as coaches and this is their team and they want to win.”①These terms are also intended to infuse work with meaning—and, as Rakesh Khurana, another professor, points out, increase allegiance to the firm. ②“You have the importation of terminology that historically used to be associated with non-profit organizations and religious organizations: terms like vision, values, passion, and purpose,” said Khurana.①This new focus on personal fulfillment can help keep employees motivated amid increasingly loud debates over work-life balance. ②The “mommy wars” of the 1990s are still going on today, prompting arguments about why women still can’t have it all and books like Sheryl Sandberg’s Lean In, whose title has become a buzzword in its own right. ③Terms like unplug, offline, life-hack, bandwidth, and capacity are all about setting boundaries between the office and the home. ④But if your work is your “passion”, you’ll be more likely to devote yourself to it, even if that means going home for dinner and then working long after the kids are in bed.①But this seems to be the irony of office speak: Everyone makes fun of it, but managers love it, companies depend on it, and regular people willingly absorb it. ②As a lin guist once said, “You can get people to think it’s nonsense at the same time that you buy into it.”③In a workplace that’s fundamentally indifferent to your life and its meaning, office speak can help you figure out how you relate to your work—and how your work defines who you are.31. According to Nancy Koehn, office language has become .[A] less strategic [B] less energetic[C] more objective [D] more emotional32. “Team”-oriented corporate vocabulary is closely related to .[A] sports culture [B] gender difference[C] historical incidents [D] athletic executives33. Khurana believes that the importation of terminology aims to .[A] revive historical terms [B] promote company image[C] foster corporate cooperation[D] strengthen employee loyalty34. It can be inferred that Lean In .[A] voices for working women[B] appeals to passionate workaholics[C] triggers debates among mommies[D] praises motivated employees35. Which of the following statements is true about office speak?[A] Linguists believe it to be nonsense.[B] Regular people mock it but accept it.[C] Companies find it to be fundamental.[D] Managers admire it but avoid it.Text 4①Many people talked of the 288,000 new jobs the Labor Department reported for June, along with the drop in the unemployment rate to 6.1 percent, as good news. And they were right.②For now it appears the economy is creating jobs at a decent pace. ③We still have a long way to go to get back to full employment, but at least we are now finally moving forward at a faster pace.①However, there is another important part of the jobs picture that was largely overlooked.②There was a big jump in the number of people who report voluntarily working part-time. ③This figure is now 830,000 (4.4 percent) above its year ago level.①Before explaining the connection to the Obamacare, it is worth making an important distinction. ②Many people who work part-time jobs actually want full-time jobs. ③They take part-time work because this is all they can get. ④An increase in involuntary part-time work is evidence of weakness in the labor market and it means that many people will be having a very hard time making ends meet.①There was an increase in involuntary part-time in June, but the general direction has been down. ②Involuntary part-time employment is still far higher than before the recession, but it is down by 640,000 (7.9 percent) from its year ago level.①We know the difference between voluntary and involuntary part-time employment because people tell us. ②The survey used by the Labor Department asks people if they worked less than35 hours in the reference week. ③If the answer is “yes,” they are classified as working part-time.④The survey then asks whether they worked less than 35 hours in that week because they wanted to work less than full time or because they had no choice. ⑤They are only classified as voluntary part-time workers if they tell the survey taker they chose to work less than 35 hours a week.①The issue of voluntary part-time relates to Obamacare because one of the main purposes was to allow people to get insurance outside of employment. ②For many people, especially those with serious health conditions or family members with serious health conditions, before Obamacare the only way to get insurance was through a job that provided health insurance.①However, Obamacare has allowed more than 12 million people to either get insurance through Medicaid or the exchanges. ②These are people who may previously have felt the need to get a full-time job that provided insurance in order to cover themselves and their families. ③With Obamacare there is no longer a link between employment and insurance.36. Which part of the jobs picture was neglected?[A] The prospect of a thriving job market.[B] The increase of voluntary part-time jobs.[C] The possibility of full employment.[D] The acceleration of job creation.37. Many people work part-time because they .[A] prefer part-time jobs to full-time jobs[B] feel that is enough to make ends meet[C] cannot get their hands on full-time jobs[D] haven’t seen the weakness of the market38. Involuntary part-time employment in the US .[A] shows a general tendency of decline[B] is harder to acquire than one year ago[C] satisfies the real need of the jobless[D] is lower than before the recession39. It can be learned that with Obamacare, .[A] it is no longer easy for part-timers to get insurance[B] full-time employment is still essential for insurance[C] it is still challenging to get insurance for family members[D] employment is no longer a precondition to get insurance40. The text mainly discusses .[A] employment in the US [B] part-timer classification[C] insurance through Medicaid [D] Obamacare’s tro ublePart BDirections:Read the following text and answer the questions by choosing the most suitable subheading from the list A-G for each numbered paragraph (41-45). There are two extra subheadings which you do not need to use. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. (10 points)［A］You are not alone［B］Experience helps you grow［C］Pave your own unique path［D］Most of your fears are unreal［E］Think about the present moment［F］Don’t fear responsibility for your life［G］There are many things to be grateful forSome Old Truths to Help Y ou Overcome Tough TimesUnfortunately, life is not a bed of roses. We are going through life facing sad experiences. Moreover, we are grieving various kinds of loss: a friendship, a romantic relationship or a house. Hard times may hold you down at what usually seems like the most inopportune time, but you should remember that they won’t last forever.When our time of mourning is over, we press forward, stronger with a greater understanding and respect for life. Furthermore, these losses make us mature and eventually move us toward future opportunities for growth and happiness. I want to share these old truths I’ve learned along the way.41.Fear is both useful and harmful. This normal human reaction is used to protect us by signaling danger and preparing us to deal with it. Unfortunately, people create inner barriers with a help of exaggerating fears. My favorite actor Will Smith once said, “Fear is not real. It is a product of thoughts you create. Do not misunderstand me. Danger is very real. But fear is a choice. ” I do completely agree that fears are just the product of our luxuriant imagination.42.If you are surrounded by problems and cannot stop thinking about the past, try to focus on the present moment. Many of us are weighed down by the past or anxious about the future. You may feel guilt over your past, but you are poisoning the present with the things and circumstances youcannot change. Value the present moment and remember how fortunate you are to be alive. Enjoy the beauty of the world around and keep the eyes open to see the possibilities before you. Happiness is not a point of future and not a moment from the past, but a mindset that can be designed into the present.43.Sometimes it is easy to feel bad because you are going through tough times. You can be easily caught up by life problems that you forget to pause and appreciate the things you have. Only strong people prefer to smile and value their life instead of crying and complaining about something.44.No matter how isolated you might feel and how serious the situation is, you should always remember that you are not alone. Try to keep in mind that almost everyone respects and wants to help you if you are trying to make a good change in your life, especially your dearest and nearest people. You may have a circle of friends who provide constant good humor, help and companionship. If you have no friends or relatives, try to participate in several online communities, full of people who are always willing to share advice and encouragement.45.Today many people find it difficult to trust their own opinion and seek balance by gaining objectivity from external sources. This way you devalue your opinion and show that you are incapable of managing your own life. When you are struggling to achieve something important you should believe in yourself and be sure that your decision is the best. You live in your skin, think your own thoughts, have your own values and make your own choices.Section III Translation46. Directions:Translate the following text into Chinese. Write your translation on the ANSWER SHEET. (15 points)Think about d riving a route that’s very familiar. It could be your commute to work, a trip into town or the way home. Whichever it is, you know every twist and turn like the back of your hand. On these sorts of trips it’s easy to lose concentration on the driving and pay little attention to the passing scenery. The consequence is that you perceive that the trip has taken less time than it actually has.This is the well-travelled road effect: People tend to underestimate the time it takes to travel a familiar route.The effect is caused by the way we allocate our attention. When we travel down a well-known route, because we don’t have to concentrate much, time seems to flow more quickly. And afterwards, when we come to think back on it, we can’t remember the journey wel l because we didn’t pay much attention to it. So we assume it was shorter.Section IV WritingPart A47.

The Parkrun phenomenon began with a dozen friends and has inspired 400 events in the UK and more abroad. “Parkrun”这一现象最初由十几个朋友发起，如今在英国却已引发四百个类似活动，在国外就更多了。
Events are free, staffed by thousands of volunteers. 活动是免费的，还招募了大量的自愿者。
Runners range from four years old to grandparents; their times range from Andrew Baddeley's world record 13 minutes 48 seconds up to an hour. 跑步者从四岁到祖父母辈都有，他们的用时区间从安德鲁·巴德利创造的世界记录13分钟48秒到一个小时不等。

2015年考研英语二阅读真题
2015年考研英语二阅读真题Section II Reading ComprehensionPart 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 1A new study suggests that contrary to most surveys，people are actually more stressed at home than at work. Researchers measured people’s cortisol, which is a stress marker, while they were at were work and while they were at home and found it higher at what is supposed to be a place of refuge.“Further contradicting conventional wisdom, we found that women as well as men have lower levels of stress at work than at home.”Write one of the researchers, Sarah D amaske.In fact women even say they feel better at work, she notes, “It is men, not women, who report being happier at home than at work.” Another surprise is that the findings hold true for both those with children and without, but more so for nonparents. This is why people who work outside the home have better health.What the study doesn’t measure is whether people are stilldoing work when they’re at home, whether it is household work or work brought home from the office. For many men, the end of the workday is a time to kick back. For women who say home, they never get to leave the office. And for women who work outside the home, they often are playing catch—up—with—household tasks. With the blurring of roles, and the fact that the home front lags well behind the workplace in making adjustments for working women, it’s not surprising that women are more stressed at home.But it’s not just a gender thing. At work, people pretty much know what they’re supposed to be doing： working, making money, doing the tasks they have to do in order to draw an income. The bargain is very pure; Employee puts in hours of physical or mental labor and employee draws out life—sustaining moola.On the home front, however, people have no such clarity. Rare is the household in which the division of labor is so clinically and methodically laid out. There are a lot of tasks to be done,there are inadequate rewards for most of them. Your home colleagues—your family—have no clear rewards for most of them. Your home colleagues—your family—have no clear rewards for their labor; they need to be talked into it, or if they’re teenagers, threatened with complete removal of all。
2015年考研英语二复习指导-考研真题-招生简章-真题-分数线-参考书-辅导班
考研英语二复习指导2014全国硕士研究生入学统一考试英语(二)考试大纲》公布，与去年英语(二)大纲相比，2012考研英语(二)考试大纲没有任何变化。
为了帮助大家对英语(二)大纲有更深刻的认识，本文从考试性质、评价目标和试卷结构三个角度，对2012年英语(二)考试大纲的考查要求和内容进行解析。
一、考试性质全国硕士研究生入学统一考试英语(二)主要是为高等院校和科研院所招收专业学位硕士研究生而设置的具有选拔性质的统考科目。
全国硕士研究生入学统一考试英语(一)是为高等院校和科研院所招收硕士研究生而设置的具有选拔性质的统考科目。
即，英语(一)是针对学术硕士研究生的考生，英语(二)是针对专业硕士研究生的考生。
专业硕士研究生主要包括会计硕士等19种专业学位，2011年新增加的金融硕士等19种专业学位招生工作尚待教育部发文明确。
其中：MBA、MPA、项目管理MPM以及新增的工程管理MEM等硕士专业学位仅面向在职人员，应届生不能报考。
如报考工商管理硕士125100(MBA)、公共管理硕士125200(MPA)以及工程管理硕士MEM的考生必须具有大学本科毕业后三年以上(含三年)工作经验，或者大专毕业后五年以上(含五年)工作经验，或者具有硕士或博士学位并有两年以上(含两年)工作经验。
二、评价目标1. 语法：英语二明确了八个语法知识点英语(一)大纲要求考生能熟练地运用基本的语法知识，没有专门列出对语法知识的具体要求，而英语(二)专门列出了考生需要掌握的八个语法知识点，明确了考查方向和备考范围。
这在一定程度上意味着英语(二)语法考查范围相对较小，更注重考查考生的基础知识，难度会比英语一大大降低。
专家建议考生把这八个语法知识点认真吃透，并加以灵活运用。
2. 词汇：英语二词汇的复习重点有别于英语一词汇英语(一)大纲要求“考生能掌握5500左右的词汇及相关词组”。
而英语(二)大纲要求“考生应能较熟练地掌握5500个左右的常用词汇以及相关常用词组”。
考研英语二2010-2020年考研英语真题及解析
考研英语二2010-2020年考研英语真题及解析考研英语二 2010 2020 年考研英语真题及解析对于众多考研学子来说，英语二是考研路上的重要关卡。
了解并掌握 2010 2020 年的考研英语二真题，对于提高成绩、增强应考能力具有至关重要的意义。
在这十年的真题中，我们可以清晰地看到一些命题规律和趋势。
首先，从词汇方面来看，重点词汇的重复出现频率较高。
这就提醒我们，在备考过程中，要对历年真题中的高频词汇进行重点记忆和掌握。
同时，词汇的考查不仅仅局限于其常见释义，还会涉及到一些生僻、引申的含义。
例如，“address”这个词，常见释义为“地址”，但在考研英语中可能会考查其“处理、解决”的意思。
语法方面，各类从句、非谓语动词等一直是考查的重点。
长难句的理解对于阅读理解和翻译部分的得分至关重要。
通过对真题的分析，我们会发现，很多句子结构复杂，需要我们具备较强的语法分析能力，才能准确理解句子的含义。
阅读理解部分，题材广泛，涵盖了经济、科技、文化、教育等多个领域。
文章的长度和难度逐年有所增加，对阅读速度和理解能力提出了更高的要求。
题目类型包括细节理解题、主旨大意题、推理判断题等。
在解答细节理解题时，需要我们仔细比对原文和选项，注意关键词和细节信息；主旨大意题则需要我们从整体上把握文章的主旨和结构；推理判断题则要求我们在理解原文的基础上进行合理的推理和判断。
翻译部分，主要考查考生对长难句的翻译能力以及对一些特定词汇和短语的准确翻译。
在翻译过程中，要注意调整语序，使译文符合中文的表达习惯。
写作部分，分为小作文和大作文。
小作文通常是书信、通知等应用型文体，要求格式正确、语言得体、内容完整。
大作文多为图表类作文，需要我们能够准确描述图表内容，分析数据背后的原因，并提出合理的观点和建议。
以 2015 年的真题为例，阅读理解的一篇文章是关于人工智能在医疗领域的应用。
文章中出现了不少专业术语和长难句，如“With the use of artificial intelligence, the diagnosis of diseases has become more accurate and efficient ”对于这样的句子，我们要先分析句子结构，“With the use of”是一个介词短语作状语，“the diagnosis of diseases”是句子的主语，“has become”是谓语，“more accurate and efficient”是宾语补足语。

from the workplace in that_____________[A]home is hardly a cozier working environment[B]division of labor at home is seldom clear-cut[C]household tasks are generally more motivating[D]family labor is often adequately rewardedText2For years,studies have found that first-generation college students-those who do not have a parent with a college degree-lag other students on a range of education achievement factors.Their grades are lower and their dropout rates are higher.But since such students are most likely to advance economically if they succeed in higher education,colleges and universities have pushed for decades to recruit more of them.This has created“a paradox”in that recruiting first-generation students,but then watching many of them fail,means that higher education has“continued to reproduce and widen,rather than close”achievement gap based on social class,according to the depressing beginning of a paper forthcoming in the journal Psychological Sciense.But the article is actually quite optimistic,as it outlines a potential solution to this problem, suggesting that an approach(which involves a one-hour,next-to-no-cost program)can close63 percent of the achievement gap(measured by such factors as grades)between first-generation and other students.The authors of the paper are from different universities,and their findins are based on a study involving147students(who completed the project)at an unnamed private unive rsity.First generation was defined as not having a parent with a fou r-year college degree Most of thefirst-generation students(59.1percent)were recipients of Pell Grants，a federal g rant for undergraduates with financial need，while this was true only for8.6percent of the students wit at least one parent with a four-year degreeTheir thesis-that a relatively modest inte rvention could have a big impact-was based on the view that first-gene ration students may be most lacking not in potential but in practical knowledge about how to deal with the issues that face most college students They cite past resea rch by several authors to show that this is the gap that must be na rrowed to close the achievement gap.Many first-gene ration students”struggle to navigate the middle-class culture of higher education，learn the‘rules of the game，’and take advantage of college resou rces,”they write And this becomes more of a problem when collages don’t talk about the class advantage and disadvantages of different groups of students Because US colleges and universities seldom acknowledge how social class can affect students’educational expe rience，many first-gene ration students lack sight about why they a re struggling and do not unde rstand how students’like them can improve26.Recruiting more first-generation students has[A]reduced their d ropout rates[B]narrowed the achievement gao[C]missed its original pu rpose[D]depressed college students27The author of the research article are optimistic because[A]the problem is solvable[B]their approach is costless[q the recruiting rate has increased[D]their finding appeal to students28The study suggests that most first-gene ration

students[A]a re actually indifferent to the achievement gap[B]can have a potential influence on othe r students[C]may lack opportunities to apply for resea rch projects[D]are inexperienced in handling

class g reatly helps en rich educational experiences[D]colleges are partly responsible for the problem in questionText3Even in traditional offices，“the lingua franca of corporate America has gottenmuch more emotional and much more right-brained than it was20years ago，"said Ha rva rd Business School professor Nancy Koehn She sta rted spinning off examples.“If you and I pa rachuted back to Fortune500companies in1990，we would see much less frequent use of terms like Journey, mission,passion.There were goals，there were strategies，there were objectives，but we didn’t talk about energy;we didn’t talk about passion.”Koehn pointed out that this new era of corporate vocabula ry is very“team”-oriented-and not by coincidence.“Let’s not forget sDorts-in male-dominated corporate America，it’s still a big deal. It’s not explicitly conscious;it’s the idea that I’m a coach，and you’re my team，and we’re in thistogethec.There are lots and lots of CEOs in very different companies，but most think of themselves as coaches and this is their team and they want to win".These terms a re also intended to infuse work with meaning-and，as Khu rana points out，increase allegiance to the firm.“You have the importation of terminology that historically used to be associated with non-profit organizations and religious organizations：Terms like vision，values，passion，and purpose，”said KhuranaThis new focus on personal fulfillment can help keep employees motivated amid increasingly loud debates over work-life balance The“mommy wars”of the1990s a re still going on today, prompting arguments about why women still can't have it all and books like Sheryl Sandberg's Lean In，whose title has become a buzzword in its own right.Terms like unplug，offline，life-hack，bandwidth，and capacity are all about setting boundaries between the office and the home But if your work is your“passion,”you’II be more likely to devote yourself to it，even if that means going home for dinner and then working long after the kids are in bed But this seems to be the irony of office speak：Everyone makes fun of it，but manage rs love it，companies depend on it，and regular people willingly absorb it As Nunberg said，“You can get people to think it’s nonsense at the same time that you buy into it.”In a workplace that’s fundamentally indiffe rent to your life and its meaning office speak can help you figu re out how you relate to your work-and how your work defines who you are31.According to Nancy Koehn,office language has become________[A]more e motional[B]more objective[C]less energetic[D]less energetic[E]less strategic32.“team”-oriented corporate vocabulary is closely related to________[A]historical incidents[B]gender difference[C]sports culture[D]athletic executives33.Khurana believes that the importation of terminology aims to________[A]revive historical terms[B]promote company image[C]foster corporate cooperation[D]strengthen employee loyalty34.It can be inferred that Lean In_________[A]voices for working women[B]appeals to passionate workaholics[C]triggers dcbates among mommies[D]praises motivated employees35.Which of the following statements is true about office speak?[A]Managers admire it but avoid it[B]Linguists believe it to be nonsense[C]Companies find it to be fundamental[D]Regular people mock it but accept itText4Many people talked of the288,000new jobs the Labor Department reporled for Jure,along with the drop in the unemployment take to6J percent.at good news.And they were right.For now it appears the economy is creating jobs at a decent pace.We still have a long way to go to get back to full employment,but at least we are now finally moving forward at a faster pace.However there is another important part of the jobs picture that was targely ovedookcd. There was a big jump in the number of people who report voluntarily working part-time.This figure is now830,000(4,4percent)above its year ago level.Before explaining the connection to the Obamacare,it is worth making an important distinction.Many people who work part-time jobs actually want full-time jobs.They takepart-time work because this is all they can get.An increase in involuntary part-time work is evidence of weakness in the labor market and it means that many people will be having a very hard time making ends meet.There was an increase in involuntary part-time in June,but the general direction has been down.Involuntary part-time employment is still far higher than before the recession,but it is down by640,000(7.9percent)from its year ago level.We know the difference between voluntary and involuntary part-time employment because people tell us.The survey used by the Labor Department asks people if they worked less than35 hours in the reference week.If the answer is“yes.”they are classified as working part-time.The survey then asks whether they worked less than35hours in that week because they wanted to work less than full time or because they had no choice.They are only elassified as voluntarypart-time workers if they tell the survey taker they chose to work less than35hours a week.The issue of voluntary part-time relates to Obamacare becanse one of the main purposes was to allow people to get insurance outside of employment.For many people,especially those with serious health conditions or family members with serious health conditions,before Obamacare the only way to get insurance was through a job that provided health insurance.However,Obamacare has allowed more than12million people to either get insurance through Medicaid or the exchanges.These are people who may previously have felt the need to get a full-time job that provided insurance in order to cover themselves and their families.With Obamacare there is no longer a link between employment and insurance.36.Which part of the jobs picture was neglected?A.The prospect of a thriving job market.B.The increase of voluntary part-time jobs.C.The possibility of full employment.D.The acceleration of job creation.37.Many people work part-time because theyA.prefer part-time jobs to full-time jobsB.feel that is enough to make ends meetC.cannot get their hands on full-time jobsD.haven't seen the weakness of the market38.Involuntary part-time employment in the USA.is harder to acquire than one year agoB.shows a general tendency of declineC.satisfies the real need of the joblessD.is lower than before the recession39.It can be learned that with Obamacare,.A.it is no longer easy for part-timers to get insuranceB.employment is no longer a precondition to get insuranceC.it is still challenging to get insurance for family membersD.full-time employment is still essential for insurance40.The text mainly discusses.A.employment in the USB.part-timer classificationC.insurance through MedicaidD.Obamacare’s troublePart BDirections：Read the following text and answer the questions by choosing the most suitable subheading from the list A-G for each numbered paragraph(41-45).There are two extra subheadings which you do not need to use.Make your answers on the ANSWER SHEET.(10 points)[A]You are not alone[B]Experience helps you grow[C]Pave your own unique path[D]Most of your fears are unreal[E]Think about the present moment[F]Don’t fear responsibility for your life[G]There are many things to be grateful forSome Old Truths to Help You Overcome Tough TimesUnfortunately,life is not a bed of roses.We are going through life facing sad experiences. Moreover,we are grieving various kinds of loss:a friendship,romantic relationship or a house.Hard times may hold you down at what usually seems like the most inopportune time,but you should remember that they won’t last forever.When our time of mourning is over,we press forward,stronger with a greater understanding and respect for life.Furthermore,these losses make us mature and eventually move us toward future opportunities for growth and happiness.I want to share these old truths I’ve learned along the way.41._______________________________Fear is both useful and harmful.This normal human reaction is used to protect us by signaling danger and preparing us to deal with it.Unfortunately,people create inner barriers with a help of exaggerating fears.My favorite actor Will Smith once said,“Fear is not real.It is a product of thoughts you create.Do not misunderstand me.Danger is very real.But fear is a choice.”I do completely agree that fears are just the product of our luxuriant imagination.42.________________________________If you are surrounded by problems and cannot stop thinking about the past,try to focus on the present moment.Many of us are weighed down by the past or anxious about the future.You may feel guilt over your past,but you are poisoning the present with the things and circumstances you cannot change.Value the present moment and remember how fortunate you are to be alive.Enjoy the beauty of the world around and keep the eyes open to see the possibilities before you. Happiness is not a point of future and not a moment from the past,but a mindset that can be designed into the present.43.________________________________Sometimes it is easy to feel bad because you are going through tough times.You can be easily caught up by life problems that you forget to pause and appreciate the things you have. Only strong people prefer to smile and value their life instead of crying and complaining about something.44._______________________________No matter how isolated you might feel and how serious the situation is,you should always remember that you are not alone.Try to keep in mind that almost everyone respects and wants to help you if you are trying to make a good change in your life,especially your dearest and nearest people.You may have a circle of friends who provide constant good humor,help and companionship.If you have no friends or relatives,try to participate in several online communities, full of people who are always willing to share advice and encouragement.45._______________________________Today many people find it difficult to trust their own opinion and seek balance by gaining ivity from external sources.This way you devalue your opinion and show that you are incapableof managing your own life.When you are struggling to achieve something important you should believe in yourself and be sure that your decision is the best.You live in your skin,think your own thoughts,have your own values and make your own choices.SectionⅢTranslation46.Directions:Translate the following text from English into Chinese.Write your translation on ANSWER SHEET2.(15points)Think about driving a route that’s very familiar.It could be your commute to work,a trip into town or the way home.Whichever it is,you know every twist and turn like the back of your hand. On these sorts of trips it’s easy to lose concentration on the driving and pay little attention to the passing scenery.The consequence is that you perceive that the trip has taken less time than it actually has.This is the well-travelled road effect:people tend to underestimate the time it takes to travel a familiar route.The effect is caused by the way we allocate our attention.When we travel down awell-known route,because we don’t have to concentrate much,time seems to flow more quickly. And afterwards,when we come to think back on it,we can’t remember the journey well because we didn’t pay much attention to it.So we assume it was shorter.SectionⅣWritingPart A47.Direerions:Suppose your university is going to host a summer camp for high school students.Write a notice to1)briefly introduce the camp activities,and2)call for volunteers.You should write about100words on the ANSWER SHEET.Do not use your name or the name of your university.Do not write your address.(10points)Part B48.Directions:Write an essay based on the following chart.In your writing,your should1)interpret the chart,and2)give your comment.You should write about150words on the ANSWER SHEET.参考答案：完型填空题1.C signal2.D much3.C plugged4.A message5.C behind6.A misinterpreted7.B judged8.D unfamiliar9.B anxious10.D turn11.A dangerous12.A hurt13.B conversation14.D passengers15.C predict16.D ride17.A went through18.C in fact19.B since20B simple阅读题答案Text121.D offered greater relaxation than the workplace22.B childless husbands23.A they are both bread winners and housewives24.C earnings25.B division of labor at home is seldom clear-cutText226.C miss its original purpose27.A the problem is solvable28.C are in need offinancial support29.D are inexperienced in handling issues at college30.D colleges are partly responsible for the problem in question Text331.A more emotional32.C sports culture33.D strengthen employee loyalty34.A voices for working women35.C companies find it to be fundamentalText436.B the increase of voluntary part-time jobs37.C cannot get their hands on full-time jobs38.B shows a general tendency of decline39.B empolyment is no longer a precondition to get insureance40.B part-timer classification阅读新题型41.D Most of your fearsare unreal42.E Think about the[resent moment43.G There are many things to be grateful for44.A You are not alone45.C Pave your own unique path翻译题回想一下这样的经历：开车行驶在一条非常熟悉的道路上。
