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）

高階文段
Loneliness is a widespread problem with complex roots.There has been a quiet pandemic developing while most people’s attention has been on covid-19. The lockdown has worsened a problem that has been spreading in many developed nations for decades: loneliness.
It is a complex issue which covers not only social lives, but ①the way you work and ②the way you vote. Noreena Hertz, an academic, tackles the subject in an important new book, “The Lonely Century”.
Loneliness increases the risk of heart disease, strokes and dementia. Those ③who say they are lonely are likelier to be depressed five years later. In addition, lonely people can become more hostile towards others and more attracted to extremist politics.
短文翻譯
孤獨(dú)是一個(gè)普遍存在的問(wèn)題，其根源很復(fù)雜。當(dāng)大多數(shù)人的注意力都集中在新冠肺炎上時(shí)，一場(chǎng)悄無(wú)聲息的流行病正在蔓延。封鎖加劇了在許多發(fā)達(dá)國(guó)家蔓延了幾十年的問(wèn)題：孤獨(dú)。
這是一個(gè)復(fù)雜的問(wèn)題，不僅涉及社會(huì)生活，還涉及你的工作方式和投票方式。學(xué)者諾瑞娜·赫茲在一本重要的新書(shū)《孤獨(dú)的世紀(jì)》中探討了這個(gè)問(wèn)題。
