一、閱讀文章的題材和體裁 四篇文章的體裁都是議論文，這也是考研一貫的選材標準。 題材如下: Text 1: More stress at home than workplace. （家裡比工作場所壓力更大） Text 2: First-generation college students（第一代大學生，即父母都沒上大學的大學生） Text 3：lingua franca（office speak）（辦公室用語的變化） Text 4: employment in the US（美國的就業狀況） 從這四篇文章的題材可以看出，考研文章的topic十分廣泛，不局限在某一個領域，可以考經濟類，也可以考社會科學和人文類的文章。 所以對於2016考研的同學，應該培養"所有題材都一樣"的能力。 二、閱讀文章的詞彙和句式 詞彙: 詞彙的能力要求和六級（CET-6）相當，比英語一的要求要低很多。只考察詞彙的基本含義，沒有過多涉及熟詞生意，近義詞和同義替換。 句式: 句式特點是層次較少，長句較短，難度較低。多數情況下，不需要刻意分析句型，只要具備相應的詞彙量和基礎語法知識，就可以把文章大致看懂。 三、考研閱讀真題分析 以Text 4 為例 Text 4 Many people talked of the 288,000 new jobs the Labor Department reported for June, along with the drop in the unemployment rate to 6.1 percent, as good news. And they were right. For now it appears the economy is creating jobs at a decent pace. We still have a long way to go to get back to full employment, but at least we are now finally moving forward at a faster pace. However, there is another important part of the jobs picture that was largely overlooked. There was a big jump in the number of people who report voluntarily working part-time. This figure is now 830,000(4.4 percent) above its year ago level. Before explaining the connection to the Obamacare, it is worth making an important distinction. Many people who work part-time jobs actually want full-time jobs. They take part-time work because this is all they can get. An increase in involuntary part-time in June, but the general direction has been down. Involuntary part-time employment is still far higher than before the recession, but it is down by 640,000(7.9 percent) from its year ago level. We know the difference between voluntary and involuntary part-time employment because people tell us. The survey used by the Labor Department asks people if they worked less than 35 hours in the reference week. If the answer is "yes," they are classified as working part-time. They survey then asks whether they worked less than 35 hours in that week because they wanted to work less than full time or because they had no choice. They are only classified as voluntary part-time workers if they tell the survey taker they chose to work less than 35 hours a week. The issue of voluntary part-time relates to Obamacare because one of the main purposes was to allow people to get insurance outside of employment. For many people, especially those with serious health conditions of family members with serious health conditions, before Obamacare the only way to get insurance was through a job that provided health insurance. However, Obamacare has allowed more than 12 million people to either get insurance through Medicaid or the exchanges. These are people who may previously have felt the need to get a full-time job that provided insurance in order to cover themselves and their families. With Obamacare there is no longer a link between employment and insurance. 36. Which part of the jobs picture was neglected? A. The prospect of a thriving job market. B. The increase of voluntary part-time jobs. C. The possibility of full employment. D. The acceleration of job creation. 此題問的是"Which part of the jobs picture was neglected?"即工作圖景中的哪部分被忽視了？ 可以到原文中確定此題的大致解題範圍: 在第二段中發現了job picture 和overlook（neglect的同義詞）--也即是這篇文章的第一段沒有出題（通過精確定位可以避免對無關文字的深度閱讀，從而節約時間，提高解題效率）。 However, there is another important part of the jobs picture that was largely overlooked. There was a big jump in the number of people who report voluntarily working part-time. This figure is now 830,000(4.4 percent) above its year ago level. 然後對著兩句精讀:第二句說，報告自願兼職工作的人的數量有一個很大的上升。這就是被忽略的內容。 看選項: 只有B. The increase of voluntary part-time jobs和第二句意思一致。（rise=increase）. 37. Many people work part-time because they A. prefer part-time jobs to full-time jobs B. feel that is enough to make ends meet C. cannot get their hands on full-time jobs D. haven't seen the weakness of the market 37題做法和36類似： 根據順序原則和精確定位的概念，可以看到第三段中出現了Many people who work part-time jobs actually want full-time jobs. They take part-time work because this is all they can get. 其意思是: 很多人之所以做兼職，是因為他們只能得到兼職，而他們其實是想要全職的。 答案選C cannot get their hands on full-time jobs(get one's hands on意為獲得) 38. Involuntary part-time employment in the US A. is harder to acquire than one year ago B. shows a general tendency of decline C. satisfies the real need of the jobless D. is lower than before the recession 38題定位到: An increase in involuntary part-time in June, but the general direction has been down. Involuntary part-time employment is still far higher than before the recession, but it is down by 640,000(7.9 percent) from its year ago level. 這句話中提到: 六月份中的不情願兼職有所增長，但是整體的方向是向下的。這和B shows a general tendency of decline.(其中direction和tendency同義詞；down和decline同義詞。 ) 39. It can be learned that with Obamacare, __________. A. it is no longer easy for part-timers to get insurance B. employment is no longer a precondition to get insurance C. it is still challenging to get insurance for family members D. full-time employment is still essential for insurance. 此題定位的關鍵是Obamacare.倒數第二段。 The issue of voluntary part-time relates to Obamacare because one of the main purposes was to allow people to get insurance outside of employment.此句講到，Obamacare的主要目標是讓僱傭關係之外的人也獲得保險。也即是，沒有工作也有保險。這和B. employment is no longer a precondition to get insurance（precondition 先決條件 no longer 不再） 40. The text mainly discusses____________. A. employment in the US B. part-timer classification C. insurance through Medicaid D. Obamacare's trouble 此題考的是主旨: 文章中提到的full-time, Involuntary part-time ,voluntary part-time 其實都是就業問題的具體體現，答案選A。 B只提到了part-time,以偏概全，並且沒有講分類問題。 C insurance 是原文的一個細節，只在最後出現，二細節是不能做主旨的。 D 錯誤方式和C相同。 總評 由於英語二針對專碩考生，故在出題時故意降低難度，在詞法、句法、題型和選項上都考察基礎能力，甚少涉及邏輯推理，重點考察語言層面上的理解。因此在整體備考上，大家需要以基礎能力的培養為主。 而在解題層面，主要應該培養對於微觀題型的把握能力，即精確定位和局部精讀的技能。2015年只考了一道主旨題，也可以看出對於全篇文章的把握不是考研的重點。考生關注》》》聽說速成三級走讀班 |考研基礎課程
