2008年考研英语阅读理解辅导:备考方案

　　C. Excessive emphasis has been placed on the basics.

　　D. The lifestyle has been influenced by western values.

　　4. 原文：Many captive shippers also worry they will soon be hit with a round of huge rate increases. The railroad industry as a whole, despite its brightening fortunes, still does not earn enough to cover the cost of the capital it must invest to keep up with its surging traffic. Yet railroads continue to borrow billons to acquire one another, with Wall Street cheering them on.

　　According to the text, the cost increase in the rail industry is mainly caused by _______.

　　(2003年passage3第5题)

　　A. The continuing acquisition.

　　B. The growing traffic.

　　C. The cheering Wall Street.

　　D. The shrinking market.

　　5. 原文：The researchers studied the behavior of female brown capuchin monkeys. They look cute. They are good natured, co-operative creatures, and they share food readily. Above all, like their female human counterparts, they tend to pay much closer attention to the value of “goods and services” than males.

　　Female capuchin moneys were chosen for the research most probably because they are _____.

　　(2005年passage1第3题)

　　A. more inclined to weigh what they get

　　B. attentive to researchers’ instructions

　　C. nice in both appearance and temperament

　　D. more generous than their male companions

　　上述例题均很好地印证了这类题的做题规律，而且长达十年这一规律都没有发生任何变化。考生在阅读复习过程中要注意题目的横向联系，不仅要按篇章来阅读，还要把历年的同一类型考题放到一起进行总结，从而发现做题技巧和规律，这样才能更好地保证复习的效率。

　　第三、大厦的内外装修——不可不知的陷阱

　　考研既然是一种选拔性的考试，就有区别于其他英语考试题的特点。很多考题并不是读完文章立即就能选出答案，而是会有一个思考和比较的过程。考研没有真正意义的正确选项，但有相对的better choice。在考研的选项中，很多选项都是陷阱，貌似很正确，其实有漏洞。对于这部分选项，考生应该了解一些出题者常用的陷阱设置，以便在今后做题过程中避免此类错误。

　　一、正话反说。考研英语阅读题中很多出题思路是“在是当中说非，在非当中说是”。 我们以2000年第一篇文章第四题为例：The author seems to believe the revival of the U.S. economy in the 1990s can be attributed to the ________.

　　A.turning of the business cycle

　　B.restructuring of industry

　　C.improved business management

　　D.success in education

　　根据原文：Few Americans attribute this solely to such obvious causes as a devalued dollar or the turning of business cycle. 可以看出，美国人并不认为devalued dollar or the turning of business cycle是导致美国经济复苏的主要原因，很多同学就首先排除了选项A，但是，A恰恰是本题的正确答案，作者的观点恰恰有别于一般美国人，在是当中说非，在非当中说是。

　　二、“正确≠答案”——大多数考生的误区

　　我们以2003 年的一道考研真题为例：

　　The author begins his article with Edmund Burk’s words to __________.

　　A.call on scientists to take some actions

　　B.criticize the misguide cause of animal rights

　　C.warn of the doom of biomedical research

　　D.show the triumph of the animal rights movement

　　从文章来看，四个选项似乎都有道理，可以说前三个选项都是对的。但是正确绝不是最优，而面对这种局面大多数考生往往不知所措，难以从中选出正确的选项。上述的例子还只是比较简单的，偏重于对文章主旨的考查，而现在考研的难度日益加大，这种出题思路会越来越多，分辨将会越来越难，所以在看懂全文的基础上时不时还是要在心里提个醒，别一不小心掉进了陷阱。
