考研人數(shù)逐年增加，競(jìng)爭(zhēng)之激烈使得我們不得不加急復(fù)習(xí)的日程。眾所周知，閱讀理解占據(jù)了考研英語(yǔ)二100分試卷的一半分值，而考研英語(yǔ)閱讀文章大多來自英美國(guó)家的主流報(bào)刊雜志，所以如果能在日常就多多閱讀這些文章，對(duì)以后讀懂文章做對(duì)題目來說會(huì)大有裨益。
學(xué)習(xí)步驟如下：
1.不看漢語(yǔ)譯文自己看一遍短文做理解
2.看漢語(yǔ)譯文比對(duì)自己理解的意思與之出入
3.強(qiáng)化記憶重點(diǎn)單詞（以記憶其漢語(yǔ)意思為主）
Someday a stranger will read your e-mail without your permission or scan the Websites you've visited. Or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell phone bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits.
In fact, it's likely some of these things have already happened to you. Who would watch you without your permission? It might be a spouse, a girlfriend, a marketing company, a boss, a cop or a criminal. Whoever it is, they will see you in a way you never intended to be seen - the 21st century equivalent of being caught naked.
短文翻譯
有一天，一個(gè)陌生人會(huì)不經(jīng)你的允許看你的電子郵件，或者瀏覽你訪問過的網(wǎng)頁(yè)。再或者有人會(huì)隨意翻閱你的信用卡的購(gòu)物單或手機(jī)話費(fèi)單，以此來了解你的購(gòu)物喜好或通話習(xí)慣。
事實(shí)上，很可能其中一些事情已經(jīng)在你的身上發(fā)生過了。誰(shuí)會(huì)未經(jīng)你的允許而窺視你呢？也許是你的配偶，你的女友，營(yíng)銷公司，老板，警察，或者罪犯。無(wú)論是誰(shuí)，他們都會(huì)以一種你始料未及的方式窺視你——這在21世紀(jì)就相當(dāng)于你裸體是被別人撞見。
