2015年9月18日,2016年全國碩士研究生入學(xué)統(tǒng)一考試英語考試大綱終于出爐。通過與《2015年全國碩士研究生入學(xué)統(tǒng)一考試英語考試大綱》對比,發(fā)現(xiàn)無論是英語(一)還是英語(二),2016年考研英語大綱傳統(tǒng)閱讀部分內(nèi)容均沒有實(shí)質(zhì)性變化?忌梢园凑赵械膹(fù)習(xí)思路進(jìn)行系統(tǒng)、深度地復(fù)習(xí),這體現(xiàn)了英語試題趨于穩(wěn)定性的規(guī)律。
英語二考研大綱閱讀模塊中,“根據(jù)閱讀材料,考生應(yīng)能:(1)理解主旨要義”。這就考生能夠通讀全文,理解文章大意。對于這類題型,我們文都教育名師在課堂教學(xué)中稱之為“主題題”。它往往出現(xiàn)在每篇文章的最后一題。它的表現(xiàn)形式往往如下所示:
What is the main idea/subject of this passage?
This passage is mainly/primarily concerned with__
The main theme/point of the passage is_____
Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
Which of the following best describes that passage as a whole?
In this passage the author mainly argues that__
What does that author intend to convey through the passage?
The central idea conveyed in the above passage is that_______.
對于“主題題”,小編告訴你們一個(gè)訣竅,那就是找“高頻詞”或者“高頻句”。只要選項(xiàng)中的重點(diǎn)詞在原文中出現(xiàn)多次,那它很可能就是答案。不多說了,真題為例。
【2013年考研英語閱讀真題】

In an essay entitled “Making It in America,” the author Adam Davidson relates a joke from cotton country about just how much a modern textile mill has been automated: The average mill has only two employees today, “a man and a dog. The man is there to feed the dog, and the dog is there to keep the man away from the machines.”
Davidson’s article is one of a number of pieces that have recently appeared making the point that the reason we have such stubbornly high unemployment and declining middle-class incomes today is largely because of the big drop in demand because of the Great Recession, but it is also because of the advances in both globalization and the information technology revolution, which are more rapidly than ever replacing labor with machines or foreign workers.
In the past, workers with average skills, doing an average job, could earn an average lifestyle. But, today, average is officially over. Being average just won’t earn you what it used to. It can’t when so many more employers have so much more access to so much more above average cheap foreign labor, cheap robotics, cheap software, cheap automation and cheap genius. Therefore, everyone needs to find their extra—their unique value contribution that makes them stand out in whatever is their field of employment.
Yes, new technology has been eating jobs forever, and always will. But there’s been an acceleration. As Davidson notes, “In the 10 years ending in 2009, U.S. factories shed workers so fast that they erased almost all the gains of the previous 70 years; roughly one out of every three manufacturing jobs—about 6 million in total—disappeared.”
There will always be change—new jobs, new products, new services. But the one thing we know for sure is that with each advance in globalization and the I.T. revolution, the best jobs will require workers to have more and better education to make themselves above average.
In a world where average is officially over, there are many things we need to do to buttress employment, but nothing would be more important than passing some kind of G.I. Bill for the 21st century that ensures that every American has access to post-high school education.
25. Which of the following would be the most appropriate title for the text?
A. Technology Goes Cheap. B. New Law Takes Effect.
C. Recession Is Bad. D. Average Is Over.
從文中,我們不難找出,選項(xiàng)A中的關(guān)鍵詞Technology出現(xiàn)一次(黑體字);選項(xiàng)B中的關(guān)鍵詞New Law和Effect沒有出現(xiàn);選項(xiàng)C中的關(guān)鍵詞Recession 出現(xiàn)一次(斜體字);而選項(xiàng)D中的關(guān)鍵詞Average Is Over出現(xiàn)兩次(黑體加下劃線),并且還是原句出現(xiàn)。因此,我們可以判定,文章就是圍繞Average Is Over這個(gè)話題展開的。因此,答案選D。

A century ago, the immigrants from across the Atlantic included settlers and sojourners. Along with the many folks looking to make a permanent home in the United States came those who had no intention to stay, and who would make some money and then go home. Between 1908 and 1915, about 7 million people arrived while about 2 million departed. About a quarter of all Italian immigrants, for example, eventually returned to Italy for good. They even had an affectionate nickname, “uccelli di passaggio,” birds of passage.
Today, we are much more rigid about immigrants. We divide newcomers into two categories: legal or illegal, good or bad. We hail them as Americans in the making, or brand them as aliens to be kicked out. That framework has contributed mightily to our broken immigration system and the long political paralysis over how to fix it. We don’t need more categories, but we need to change the way we think about categories. We need to look beyond strict definitions of legal and illegal. To start, we can recognize the new birds of passage, those living and thriving in the gray areas. We might then begin to solve our immigration challenges.
Crop pickers, violinists, construction workers, entrepreneurs, engineers, home health-care aides and physicists are among today’s birds of passage. They are energetic participants in a global economy driven by the flow of work, money and ideas. They prefer to come and go as opportunity calls them. They can manage to have a job in one place and a family in another.
With or without permission, they straddle laws, jurisdictions and identities with ease. We need them to imagine the United States as a place where they can be productive for a while without committing themselves to staying forever. We need them to feel that home can be both here and there and that they can belong to two nations honorably.
Accommodating this new world of people in motion will require new attitudes on both sides of the immigration battle. Looking beyond the culture war logic of right or wrong means opening up the middle ground and understanding that managing immigration today requires multiple paths and multiple outcomes, including some that are not easy to accomplish legally in the existing system.
30. The most appropriate title for this text would be .
A. Come and Go: Big Mistake B. Living and Thriving: Great Risk
C. Legal or Illegal: Big Mistake D. With or Without: Great Risk
從文中,我們不難找出,選項(xiàng)A中的關(guān)鍵詞Come and Go出現(xiàn)一次(黑體字);選項(xiàng)B中的關(guān)鍵詞. Living and Thriving出現(xiàn)一次(黑體);選項(xiàng)C中的關(guān)鍵詞 Legal or Illegal出現(xiàn)三次(黑體加下劃線),并且還原句出現(xiàn)兩次;選項(xiàng)D中的關(guān)鍵詞With or Without出現(xiàn)一次(黑體)。因此,我們可以判定,文章就是圍繞 Legal or Illegal這個(gè)話題展開的。因此,答案選C。
主題題的解題關(guān)鍵是在于通讀全文后,對文章整體的把握。答題關(guān)鍵在于找主題詞和高頻詞。希望還在考研路上奮斗的你,讀透真題,學(xué)會方法,做到事半功倍。最后,祝大家金榜題名!
