2017英語:有多少分丟得可惜
很多同學在考英語的時候,都會出現(xiàn)這樣一個現(xiàn)象:某道題做錯了,出考場下答案,恍然大悟——“我太馬虎了,這題不改錯啊!”
英語并不是數(shù)學,不會出現(xiàn)6-2=8這樣的低級錯誤。其實,所有的“馬虎”都可以歸結為“基本功不扎實”。同學們看到了nature 和 nurture 這兩個詞,覺得是太相似而忽略了本來的意思,“馬虎”了。但是這種馬虎真的是馬虎嗎?為什么我們能分得清“泰國”和“秦國”,而分不清nature 和 nurture?原因很簡單,因為單詞并不熟悉,加上審題不認真,當然會造成這個局面。
其實,在考研英語中,尤其是考研英語閱讀中,不是所有題目都考考生的英文語言能力,還有大量的學術能力需要考察,或者說,要考察學生的仔細程度。如果足夠仔細,即使英語水平本身有限,也是能夠得分的——這也恰恰是那些基礎很好的同學失分的地方。
比如,在剛剛結束的考研中,我們是否能夠做對這道題呢?
25 which of the following would be the best for the text?
A. less Screening for More Safety
B. PreCheck– a Belated Solution
C. Getting Stuck in Security Lines
D. Underused PreCheck Lanes
這是第一篇閱讀理解的最后一道題,看起來好難,因為這是標題題,強迫癥做法是把文章再讀一遍,或者翻來覆去想這篇文章講了什么,然后再做答。可是,這就一定做得對嗎?我們看一下文章。
First two hours, now three hours — this is how far in advance authorities are recommending people show up to catch a domestic flight, at least at some major U.S. airports with increasingly massive security lines.
Americans are willing to tolerate time-consuming security protocols in return for increased safety. The crash of EgyptAir Flight 804, which terrorists may have downed over the Mediterranean Sea, provides another tragic reminder of why. But demanding too much of air travelers or providing too little security in return undermines public support for the process. And it should: Wasted time is a drag on Americans' economic and private lives, not to mention infuriating.
Last year, the Transportation Security Administration(TSA) found in a secret check that undercover investigators were able to sneak weapons — both fake and real — past airport security nearly every time they tried. Enhanced security measures since then, combined with a rise in airline travel due to the improving economy and low oil prices, have resulted in long waits at major airports such as Chicago's O'Hare International. It is not yet clear how much more effective airline security has become — but the lines are obvious.
Part of the issue is that the government did not anticipate the steep increase in airline travel, so the TSA is now rushing to get new screeners on the line. Part of the issue is that airports have only so much room for screening lanes. Another factor may be that more people are trying to overpack their carry-on bags to avoid checked-baggage fees, though the airlines strongly dispute this.
There is one step the TSA could take that would not require remodeling airports or rushing to hire: Enroll more people in the PreCheck program. PreCheck is supposed to be a win-win for travelers and the TSA. Passengers who pass a background check are eligible to use expedited screening lanes. This allows the TSA to focus on travelers who are higher risk, saving time for everyone involved. TSA wants to enroll 25 million people in PreCheck.
It has not gotten anywhere close to that, and one big reason is sticker shock: Passengers must pay $85 every five years to process their background checks. Since the beginning, this price tag has been PreCheck's fatal flaw. Upcoming reforms might bring the price to a more reasonable level. But Congress should look into doing so directly, by helping to finance PreCheck enrollment or to cut costs in other ways.
The TSA cannot continue diverting resources into underused PreCheck lanes while most of the traveling public suffers in unnecessary lines. It is long past time to make the program work.
25. Which of the following would be the best for the text?
[A] Less Screening for More Safety
[B] PreCheck – a Belated Solution
[C] Getting Stuck in Security Lines
[D] Underused PreCheck Lanes
通過讀文章,也許你看得一頭霧水,也許根本不知道在說什么,或者你看懂了,但是閱讀文章你都了多久?是否有必要?只為了作對一道題,究竟要花費多長時間?兩分鐘?四分鐘?還是八分鐘?
為什么不用你的學術型思維來進行解答呢?先看一看其他的題,看出門道了嗎?
21. The crash of EgyptAir Flight 804 is mentioned to
[A] explain American’s tolerance of current security checks.
[B] stress the urgency to strengthen security worldwide.
[C] highlight the necessity of upgrading major U.S. airports.
[D] emphasize the importance of privacy protection.
22. Which of the following contributes to long waits at major airports?
[A] New restrictions on carry-on bags.
[B] The declining efficiency of the TSA.
[C] An increase in the number of travellers.
[D] Frequent unexpected secret checks.
23. The word “expedited” (Liner 4, Para. 5) is closet in meaning to
[A] quieter.
[B] cheaper.
[C] wider.
[D] faster.
24. One problem with the PreCheck program is
[A] a dramatic reduction of its scale.
[B] its wrongly-directed implementation.
[C] the government’s reluctance to back it.
[D] an unreasonable price for enrollment.
如果還是沒有理解,說明你不具備學術思維。不客氣的說,你還不具備讀研究生的基本學術素養(yǎng)。那么,什么是學術思維?就是具體問題具體分析。我們不妨用邏輯來進行一個解答,
首先我們看到,24題的題目中有PreCheck這個詞,其他選項沒有,說明PreCheck在文中應該是后面才出現(xiàn)的,是一種障眼法,直接排除(處女座同學可以去文章當中找一找,是不是前面沒有這個詞),只剩下了A. C. 兩個選項,然后再想想做題時候,前四道題都隱約提到了與安全有關的內(nèi)容,但是沒有多少什么事情,那么,答案是哪個?只剩下C了。
這樣的思維過程,不需要一分鐘,即可。這就是不該丟掉的分數(shù)。也許,你會覺得這個方法比較懸,還是把文章讀完了,題目翻譯成漢語,比較“靠譜”。如果是這樣的話,我想問你一句,你憑什么認為,你的英語水平能夠將文章和題目翻譯對呢?有這樣的自信嗎?你請翻譯下面兩句話:
To do is to be.
To be is to do.
你還會覺得,你所謂的方法,是對的嗎?
