考研英語閱讀：讀四句話得18分
通過研究04年考題，我發(fā)現(xiàn)文章最后一段的段首句十分重要。假設(shè)我們只讀
這一句，看看會有什么結(jié)果：
Text 1
Even those who aren't hunting for jobs may find search agents worthwhile.
搜索代理甚至對那些不找工作的人也有價值。
本句暗含的意思：SA對找工作的人很有價值。
1. How did Redmon find his job?
[A] By searching openings in a job database.
[B] By posting a matching position in a database.
[C] By using a special service of a database.
[D] By E-mailing his resume to a database.
由于沒讀文章，所以我們不知道R是如何找到工作的，但至少應(yīng)和SA有關(guān)。
看四個選項中的動詞：search, post, use, E-mail，能和SA發(fā)生關(guān)系的只有
use，所以選C。
5. Which of the following is true according to the text?
[A] Personal search agents are indispensable to job-hunters.
[B] Some sites keep E-mailing job seekers to trace their demands.
[C] Personal search agents are also helpful to those already employed.
[D] Some agents stop sending information to people once they are
employed.
本題的C與我們讀的這句幾乎一樣，考研閱讀中有這樣一個原則，沒有哪個選項
是因為太接近原文而被排除的，所以選C。
Text 2
The humiliation continues.
恥辱的感覺還在繼續(xù)。
本句暗含的意思：本文的主題(Topic)，是講一種恥辱。
7. What can we infer from the first three paragraphs?
[A] In both East and West, names are essential to success.
[B] The alphabet is to blame for the failure of Zo? Zysman.
[C] Customers often pay a lot of attention to companies' names.
[D] Some form of discrimination is too subtle to recognize.
在四個選項中找與恥辱有關(guān)的詞，馬上找到discrimination，選D。另外，
像A、B、C這樣的選項是很典型的就事論事的選項，不讀文章也能分辨得出。

Many folks see silver linings to this slowdown.
面對這種衰退，人們看到了一線希望。
本句暗含的意思：從絕望中尋找希望。
11. By "Ellen Spero isn't biting her nails just yet"(Line 1, Paragraph 1), the
author means_____.
[A] Spero can hardly maintain her business
[B] Spero is too much engaged in her work
[C] Spero has grown out of her bad habit
[D] Spero is not in a desperate situation
由于是第一句，既可以是文章主旨，也可以是首句陷阱（后面有But），所以
本題A、D都有可能。但根據(jù)常識，咬指甲表示緊張，所以選D的可能性更大。
12. How do the public feel about the current economic situation?
[A] Optimistic.
[B] Confused.
[C] Carefree.
[D] Panicked.
本題首先排除“永陪選項”B、C，剩下A和D�，F(xiàn)在要用另一條原則：考研
閱讀的文章，態(tài)度絕大多數(shù)是積極樂觀的，尤其當談到經(jīng)濟的時候。
“看到一線希望”，應(yīng)該不至于恐慌吧，所以選A。
15. To which of the following is the author likely to agree?
[A] A new boom, on the horizon.
[B] Tighten the belt, the single remedy.
[C] Caution all right, panic not.
[D] The more ventures, the more chances.
找從絕望中尋找希望的意思，選C。
Text 4
School remains a place where intellect is mistrusted.
學(xué)校仍在排斥對智力的培養(yǎng)。
本句暗含的意思：學(xué)校原來就這么干的。
16. What do American parents expect their children to acquire in school?
[A] The habit of thinking independently.
[B] Profound knowledge of the world.
[C] Practical abilities for future career.
[D] The confidence in intellectual pursuits.
本題選C。原則三：考研文章，常常找兩個東東，讓它們打架。
如：intellectual Vs practical; scientists Vs "untaught minds"; right-to-life
Vs right-to-die; businessmen Vs consumers——關(guān)鍵看作者是哪頭兒的。
17. We can learn from the text that Americans have a history of_____.
[A] undervaluing intellect
[B] favoring intellectualism
[C] supporting school reform
[D] suppressing native intelligence
本題選A。
20. What does the author think of intellect?
[A] It is second to intelligence.
[B] It evolves from common sense.
[C] It is to be pursued.
[D] It underlies power.
根據(jù)mistrusted，就能選C。
讀了四句話，得了18分，效果還可以。
