計(jì)劃說(shuō)明

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(lái)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(lái)說(shuō)會(huì)大有裨益。但是對(duì)大多數(shù)備考的同學(xué)來(lái)說(shuō)，剛開(kāi)始投入復(fù)習(xí)，就去讀考試文章難度的新聞報(bào)刊，也是不現(xiàn)實(shí)、并且不符合循序漸進(jìn)的學(xué)習(xí)規(guī)律的，所以我們會(huì)在每次推送中，給大家給出兩篇短文，一篇是初階水平（大致在初高中水平）；一篇是高階水平（四六級(jí)到考研水平）；同學(xué)們可以根據(jù)自己當(dāng)前的情況，選擇其中一篇進(jìn)行學(xué)習(xí)。

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）

初階文段

I was being tested for a driving licence for the third time. I had been asked to drive in heavy traffic and had done so successfully. After having been instructed to drive out of town, I began to acquire confidence. Sure that I had passed, I was almost beginning to enjoy my test. The examiner must have been pleased with my performance, for he smiled and said，'Just one more thing, Mr.Eames. Let us suppose that a child suddenly crosses the road in front of you. As soon as I tap on the window, you must stop within five feet.'I continued driving and after some time, the examiner tapped loudly, Though the sound could be heard clearly, it took me a long time to react. I suddenly pressed the brake pedal and we were both thrown forward. The examiner looked at me sadly. 'Mr.Eames',he said, in a mournful voice, 'you have just killed that child!'

 People become quite illogical when they try to decide what can be eaten and what cannot be eaten. If you lived in the Mediterranean, for instance, you would consider octopus a great delicacy. You would not be able to understand why some people find it repulsive. On the other hand, your stomach would turn at the idea of frying potatoes in animal fat--the normally accepted practice in many northern countries. The sad truth is that most of us have been brought up to eat certain foods and we stick to them all our lives.No creature has received more praise and abuse than the common garden snail. Cooked in wine, snails are a great luxury in various parts of the world. There are countless people who, ever since their early years, have learned to associate snails with food. My friend, Robert, lives in a country where snails are despised. As his flat is in a large town, he has no garden of his own. For years he has been asking me to collect snails from my garden and take them to him.

短文翻譯

在決定什么能吃而什么不能吃的時(shí)候，人們往往變得不合情理。比如，如果你住在地中海地區(qū)，你會(huì)把章魚(yú)視作是美味佳肴，同時(shí)不能理解為什么有人一見(jiàn)章魚(yú)就惡心。另一方面，你一想到動(dòng)物油炸土豆就會(huì)反胃，但這在北方許多國(guó)家卻是一種普通的烹任方法。不無(wú)遺憾的是， 我們中的大部分人，生來(lái)就只吃某幾種食品，而且一輩子都這樣。沒(méi)有一種生物所受到的贊美和厭惡會(huì)超過(guò)花園里常見(jiàn)的蝸牛了。蝸牛加酒燒煮后，便成了世界上許多地方的一道珍奇的名菜。有不計(jì)其數(shù)的人們從小就知道蝸牛可做菜。但我的朋友羅伯特卻住在一個(gè)厭惡蝸牛的國(guó)家中。他住在大城市里的一所公寓里，沒(méi)有自己的花園。多年來(lái)，他一直讓我把我園子里的蝸牛收集起來(lái)給他捎去。
