考研人數(shù)逐年增加，競爭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(xué)習(xí)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(qiáng)化記憶重點單詞（以記憶其漢語意思為主）

Today, widespread social pressure to immediately go to college in conjunction with increasingly high expectations in a fast-moving world often causes students to completely overlook the possibility of taking a gap year. After all, if everyone you know is going to college in the fall, it seems silly to stay back a year, doesn’t it? And after going to school for 12 years, it doesn’t feel natural to spend a year doing something that isn’t academic.

短文翻譯

如今，即刻進(jìn)入高校的廣泛的社會壓力以及對快速發(fā)展的世界越來越高的期望，常常令學(xué)生完全忽視度過一個空檔年的可能。畢竟，如果你認(rèn)識的每一個人都在秋季入學(xué)，那留下待一年似乎很愚蠢，不是嗎？上了 12 年學(xué)之后，花一年時間做一些和學(xué)術(shù)無關(guān)的事情,感覺會很不自然。

*一定要做題哦

31.One of the reasons for high-school graduates not taking a gap year is that  _______.

[A] they think it academically misleading

[B] they have a lot of fun to expect in college

[C] it feels strange to do differently from others

[D] it seems worthless to take off-campus courses

題目解析

31.【解析】題目問的是高中畢業(yè)生不選擇間隔年原因之一是什么。根據(jù)題目中的high-school和gap year可定位到第一段第一句話。這句話后面一句的after all可以知道后面應(yīng)該是解釋理由了，After all, if everyone you know is going to college in the fall, it seems silly to stay back a year, doesn't it?這句話是說如果大家秋天都上大學(xué)去了，你要是晚了一年看起來有點傻。這個句子等同于C選項中的feel strange to do differently from others，因此選C。

【A】他們認(rèn)為這在學(xué)術(shù)上具有誤導(dǎo)性，無中生有。

【B】他們在大學(xué)里有很多樂趣，無中生有。

【D】校外課程似乎毫無價值，未提及，無中生有。
