考研人數逐年增加，競爭之激烈使得我們不得不加急復習的日程。眾所周知，閱讀理解占據了考研英語二100分試卷的一半分值，而考研英語閱讀文章大多來自英美國家的主流報刊雜志，所以如果能在日常就多多閱讀這些文章，對以后讀懂文章做對題目來說會大有裨益。

學習步驟如下：

1.不看漢語譯文自己看一遍短文做理解

2.看漢語譯文比對自己理解的意思與之出入

3.強化記憶重點單詞（以記憶其漢語意思為主）

Perhaps half of U.S. farm laborers are undocumented immigrants. As fewer such workers enter the country, the characteristics of the agricultural workforce are changing. Today’s farm laborers, while still predominantly born in Mexico, are more likely to be settled rather than migrating and more likely to be married than single. They’re also aging. At the start of this century, about one-third of crop workers were over the age of 35. Now more than half are.

短文翻譯

美國的農場工人中可能有一半都是無證移民。隨著來到美國的此類工人越來越少,美國農業勞動力的特征也在不斷發生變化。如今美國的農業勞動者雖仍然主要出生于墨西哥,但他們更有可能定居下來,而不是繼續遷移;而且也更有可能已婚而非單身。他們也正在老齡化。本世紀初,大約三分之一的農作物工人年齡在35歲以上。而現在超過一半的農作物工人年齡都在35歲以上。

題目解析

32.【解析】細節推理題。根據題干中的trouble, U.S. agricultural workforce以及段落序列定位到文中第三段第二句。定位段第三至七句都在論證第二句的內容，其中第三句論證的是勞動力的來源及其傾向，第四至七句論證的是勞動力在變老并指出picking crops is hard on older bodies. 與選項D吻合。選項A中的rising及illegal屬于無中生有，選項B中的high mobility與定位段中的farm labors are more likely to be settled rather than immigrating矛盾，選項C屬無中生有。
