Happy people work differently. They’re more productive, more creative, and willing to take greater risks. And new research suggests that happiness might influence__1__firm’s work, too.
Companies located in places with happier people invest more, according to a recent research paper.__2__, firms in happy places spend more on R&D (research and development). That’s because happiness is linked to the kind of longer-term thinking__3__for making investments for the future.
The researchers wanted to know if the__4__and inclination for risk-taking that come with happiness would__5__the way companies invested. So they compared U.S. cities’ average happiness__6__by Gallup polling with the investment activity of publicly traded firms in those areas.
__7__enough, firms’ investment and R&D intensity were correlated with the happiness of the area in which they were__8__.But is it really happiness that’s linked to investment, or could something else about happier cities__9__why firms there spend more on R&D? To find out, the researchers controlled for various__10__that might make firms more likely to invest – like size, industry, and sales – and for indicators that a place was__11__to live in, like growth in wages or population. The link between happiness and investment generally__12__even after accounting for these things.
The correlation between happiness and investment was particularly strong for younger firms, which the authors__13__to “less codified decision making process” and the possible presence of “younger and less__14__managers who are more likely to be influenced by sentiment.” The relationship was__15__stronger in places where happiness was spread more__16__.Firms seem to invest more in places where most people are relatively happy, rather than in places with happiness inequality.
__17__ this doesn’t prove that happiness causes firms to invest more or to take a longer-term view, the authors believe it at least__18__at that possibility. It’s not hard to imagine that local culture and sentiment would help__19__how executives think about the future. “It surely seems plausible that happy people would be more forward-thinking and creative and__20__R&D more than the average,” said one researcher.

It’s true that high-school coding classes aren’t essential for learning computer science in college. Students without experience can catch up after a few introductory courses, said Tom Cortina, the assistant dean at Carnegie Mellon’s School of Computer Science.
However, Cortina said, early exposure is beneficial. When younger kids learn computer science, they learn that it’s not just a confusing, endless string of letters and numbers — but a tool to build apps, or create artwork, or test hypotheses. It’s not as hard for them to transform their thought processes as it is for older students. Breaking down problems into bite-sized chunks and using code to solve them becomes normal. Giving more children this training could increase the number of people interested in the field and help fill the jobs gap, Cortina said.
Students also benefit from learning something about coding before they get to college, where introductory computer-science classes are packed to the brim, which can drive the less-experienced or-determined students away.
The Flatiron School, where people pay to learn programming, started as one of the many coding bootcamps that’s become popular for adults looking for a career change. The high-schoolers get the same curriculum, but “we try to gear lessons toward things they’re interested in,” said Victoria Friedman, an instructor. For instance, one of the apps the students are developing suggests movies based on your mood.
The students in the Flatiron class probably won’t drop out of high school and build the next Facebook. Programming languages have a quick turnover, so the “Ruby on Rails” language they learned may not even be relevant by the time they enter the job market. But the skills they learn — how to think logically through a problem and
organize the results — apply to any coding language, said Deborah Seehorn, an education consultant for the state of North Carolina.
Indeed, the Flatiron students might not go into IT at all. But creating a future army of coders is not the sole purpose of the classes. These kids are going to be surrounded by computers — in their pockets, in their offices, in their homes — for the rest of their lives. The younger they learn how computers think, how to coax the machine into producing what they want — the earlier they learn that they have the power to do that — the better.
21. Cortina holds that early exposure to computer science makes it easier to____.
A. complete future job training
B. remodel the way of thinking
C. formulate logical hypotheses
D. perfect artwork production
22. In delivering lessons for high-schoolers, Flatiron has considered their____.
A. experience
B. academic backgrounds
C. career prospects
D. interest
23. Deborah Seehorn believes that the skills learned at Flatiron will____.
A. help students learn other computer languages
B. have to be upgraded when new technologies come
C. need improving when students look for jobs
D. enable students to make big quick money
24. According to the last paragraph, Flatiron students are expected to____.
A. compete with a future army of programmers
B. stay longer in the information technology industry
C. become better prepared for the digitalized world
D. bring forth innovative computer technologies
25. The word “coax” (Line4, Para.6) is closest in meaning to____.
A. challenge
B. persuade
C. frighten
D. misguide

Biologists estimate that as many as 2 million lesser prairie chickens---a kind of bird living on stretching grasslands—once lent red to the often gray landscape of the midwestern and southwestern United States. But just some 22,000 birds remain today, occupying about 16% of the species’ historic range.
The crash was a major reason the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS)decided to formally list the bird as threatened. “The lesser prairie chicken is in a desperate situation,” said USFWS Director Daniel Ashe. Some environmentalists, however, were disappointed. They had pushed the agency to designate the bird as “endangered,” a status that gives federal officials greater regulatory power to crack down on threats. But Ashe and others argued that the“threatened” tag gave the federal government flexibility to try out new, potentially less confrontational conservations approaches. In particular, they called for forging closer collaborations with western state governments, which are often uneasy with federal action and with the private landowners who control an estimated 95% of the prairie chicken’s habitat.
Under the plan, for example, the agency said it would not prosecute landowner or businesses that unintentionally kill, harm, or disturb the bird, as long as they had signed a range—wide management plan to restore prairie chicken habitat. Negotiated by USFWS and the states, the plan requires individuals and businesses that damage habitat as part of their operations to pay into a fund to replace every acre destroyed with 2 new acres of suitable habitat. The fund will also be used to compensate landowners who set aside habitat, USFWS also set an interim goal of restoring prairie chicken populations to an annual average of 67,000 birds over the next 10 years. And it gives the Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies (WAFWA), a coalition of state agencies, the job of monitoring progress. Overall, the idea is to let “states” remain in the driver’s seat for managing the species，” Ashe said.
Not everyone buys the win-win rhetoric Some Congress members are trying to block the plan, and at least a dozen industry groups, four states, and three environmental groups are challenging it in federal court Not surprisingly, doesn’t go far enough “The federal government is giving responsibility for managing the bird to the same industries that are pushing it to extinction,” says biologist Jay Lininger.
26. The major reason for listing the lesser prairie as threatened is____
[A]its drastically decreased population

Text 3
That everyone’s too busy these days is a cliché. But one specific complaint is made especially mournfully： There’s never any time to read.
What makes the problem thornier is that the usual time-management techniques don’t seem sufficient. The web’s full of articles offering tips on making time to read: “Give up TV” or “Carry a book with you at all times” But in my experience, using such methods to free up the odd 30 minutes doesn’t work. Sit down to read and the flywheel of work-related thoughts keeps spinning-or else you’re so exhausted that a challenging book’s the last thing you need. The modern mind, Tim Parks, a novelist and critic, writes, “is overwhelmingly inclined toward communication…It is not simply that one is interrupted; it is that one is actually inclined to interruption”. Deep reading requires not just time, but a special kind of time which can’t be obtained merely by becoming more efficient.
In fact, “becoming more efficient” is part of the problem. Thinking of time as a resource to be maximised means you approach it instrumentally, judging any given moment as well spent only in so far as it advances progress toward some goal immersive reading, by contrast, depends on being willing to risk inefficiency, goallessness, even time-wasting. Try to slot it as a to-do list item and you’ll manage only goal-focused reading-useful, sometimes, but not the most fulfilling kind. “The future comes at us like empty bottles along an unstoppable and nearly infinite conveyor belt,” writes Gary Eberle in his book Sacred Time, and “we feel a pressure to fill these different-sized bottles (days, hours, minutes)as they pass, for if they get by without being filled, we will have wasted them”. No mind-set could be worse for losing yourself in a book.
So what does work? Perhaps surprisingly, scheduling regular times for reading. You’d think this might fuel the efficiency mind-set, but in fact, Eberle notes, such ritualistic behaviour helps us “step outside time’s flow” into “soul time”. You could limit distractions by reading only physical books, or on single-purpose e-readers. “Carry a book with you at all times” can actually work, too-providing you dip in often enough, so that reading becomes the default state from which you temporarily surface to take care of business, before dropping back down. On a really good day, it no longer feels as if you’re “making time to read,” but just reading, and making time for everything else.
31. The usual time-management techniques don’t work because?????
[A] what they can offer does not ease the modern mind
[B] what challenging books demand is repetitive reading
[C] what people often forget is carrying a book with them
[D] what deep reading requires cannot be guaranteed
32. The “empty bottles” metaphor illustrates that people feel a pressure to?????
[A] update their to-do lists
[B] make passing time fulfilling
[C] carry their plans through
[D] pursue carefree reading
33. Eberle would agree that scheduling regular times for reading helps?????
[A] encourage the efficiency mind-set
[B] develop online reading habits
[C] promote ritualistic reading
[D] achieve immersive reading
34. “Carry a book with you at all times” can work if?????
[A] reading becomes your primary business of the day
[B] all the daily business has been promptly dealt with
[C] you are able to drop back to business after reading
[D] time can be evenly split for reading and business
35. The best title for this text could be?????
[A] How to Enjoy Easy Reading
[B] How to Find Time to Read
[C] How to Set Reading Goals
[D] How to Read Extensively
Text 4
Against a backdrop of drastic changes in economy and population structure, younger Americans are drawing a new 21st-century road map to success, a latest poll has found.
Across generational lines, Americans continue to prize many of the same traditional milestones of a successful life, including getting married, having children, owning a home, and retiring in their sixties. But while young and old mostly agree on what constitutes the finish line of a fulfilling life, they offer strikingly different paths for reaching it.
Young people who are still getting started in life were more likely than older adults to prioritize personal fulfillment in their work, to believe they will advance their careers most by regularly changing jobs, to favor communities with more public services and a faster pace of life, to agree that couples should be financially secure before getting married or having children, and to maintain that children are best served by two parents working outside the home, the survey found.
From career to community and family, these contrasts suggest that in the aftermath of the searing Great Recession, those just starting out in life are defining priorities and expectations that will increasingly spread through virtually all aspects of American life, from consumer preferences to housing patterns to politics.
Young and old converge on one key point: Overwhelming majorities of both groups said they believe it is harder for young people today to get started in life than it was for earlier generations. While younger people are somewhat more optimistic than their elders about the prospects for those starting out today, big majorities in both groups believe those “just getting started in life” face a tougher a good-paying job, starting a family, managing debt, and finding affordable housing.
Pete Schneider considers the climb tougher today. Schneider, a 27-yaear-old auto technician from the Chicago suburbs says he struggled to find a job after graduating from college. Even now that he is working steadily, he said.” I can’t afford to pay ma monthly mortgage payments on my own, so I have to rent rooms out to people to mark that happen.” Looking back, he is struck that his parents could provide a comfortable life for their?children even though neither had completed college when he was young. “I still grew up in an upper middle-class home with parents who didn’t have college degrees,” Schneider said. “I don’t think people are capable of that anymore.”
36. One cross-generation mark of a successful life is_____.????
[A] trying out different lifestyles
[B] having a family with children
[C] working beyond retirement age
[D] setting up a profitable business
37. It can be learned from Paragraph 3 that young people tend to?____.???
[A] favor a slower life pace
[B] hold an occupation longer
[C] attach importance to pre-marital finance
[D] give priority to childcare outside the home
38. The priorities and expectations defined by the young will?____.???
[A] become increasingly clear
[B] focus on materialistic issues
[C] depend largely on political preferences
[D] reach almost all aspects of American life
39. Both young and old agree that?____.
[A] good-paying jobs are less available
[B] the old made more life achievements
[C] housing loans today are easy to obtain
[D] getting established is harder for the young
40. Which of the following is true about Schneider?
[A] He found a dream job after graduating from college.
[B] His parents believe working steadily is a must for success.
[C] His parents’ good life has little to do with a college degree.
[D] He thinks his job as a technician quite challenging.

As adults,it seems that we are constantly pursuing happiness,often with mixed results.Yet children appear to have it down to an art-and for the most part they don't need self-help books or therapy.instead,they look after their wellbeing instinctively,and usually more effectively than we do as grownups.Perhaps it's time to learn a few lessons from them.
41.______________
What does a child do when he's sad? He cries.When he's angry?He shouts.Scared?Probably a bit of both.As we grow up,we learn to control our emotions so they are manageable and don't dictate our behaviours,which is in many ways a good thing.But too often we take this process too far and end up suppressing emotions,especially negative ones.that's about as effective as brushing dirt under a carpet and can even make us ill.What we need to do is find a way to acknowledge and express what we feel appropriately, and then-again like children-move.
42.____________
A couple of Christmases ago, my youngest stepdaughter, who was nine years old at the time, got a Superman T-shirt for Christmas. It cost less than a fiver but she was overjoyed, and couldn't stop talking about it.Too often we believe that a new job,bigger house or better car will be the magic silver bullet that will allow us to finally be content,but the reality is these things have very little lasting impact on our happiness levels. Instead, being grateful for small things every day is a much better way to improve wellbeing.
43.______________________
Have you ever noticed how much children laugh? If we adults could indulge in a bit of silliness and giggling, we would reduce the stress hormones in our bodies , increase good hormones like endorphins, improve blood flow to our hearts and even have a greater chance of fighting off enfection. All of which, of course, have a positive effect on happiness levels.
44.__________________
The problem with being a grown up is that there's an awful lot of serious stuff to deal with---work,mortgage payments,figuring out what to cook for dinner. But as adults we also have the luxury of being able to control our own diaries and it's important that we schedule in time to enjoy the things we love.Those things might be social,sporting,creative or completely random(dancing aroud the living room,anyone?)--it doesn't matter,so long as they're enjoyable, and not likely to have negative side effects,such as drinking too much alcohol or going on a wild spending spree if you're on a tight budget.
45.___________________
Having said all of the above, it's important to add that we shouldn't try too hard to be happy.Scientists tell us this can backfire and actually have a negative impact on our wellbeing. As the Chinese philosopher Chuang Tzu is reported to have said:"Happiness is the absence of striving for happiness."And in that,once more,we need to look to the example of our children,to whom happiness is not a goal but a natural by product of the way they live.

The supermarket is designed to lure customers into spending as much time as possible within its doors. The reason for this is simple:The longer you stay in the store, the more stuff you'll see, and the more stuff you see, the more you'll buy. And supermarkets contain a lot of stuff. The average supermarket, according to the Food Marketing Institute, carries some 44,00 different items, and many carry tens of thousands more. The sheer volume of available choice is enough to send shoppers into a state of information overload. According to brain-scan experiments, the demands of so much decision-making quickly become too much for us. After about 40 minutes of shopping, most people stop struggling to be rationally selective, and instead begin shopping emotionally - which is the point at which we accumulate the 50 percent of stuff in our cart that we never intended buying.

2017考研英語(yǔ)二真題解析
第一部分英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)言知識(shí)運(yùn)用分析
今年英語(yǔ)知識(shí)運(yùn)用部分選取了一篇有關(guān)現(xiàn)代人因使用手機(jī)而缺乏交流的說(shuō)明文，原文題目為Would a Work-Free World Be So Bad? 。文章考察的是如果科技代替人們工作，對(duì)于人們生活的種種影響，其中復(fù)合句和復(fù)雜句居多，這就要求考生在正確分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)的基礎(chǔ)上進(jìn)行答題。
該試題主要考查綜合語(yǔ)言運(yùn)用能力和語(yǔ)篇理解能力，即根據(jù)上下文的結(jié)構(gòu)推測(cè)文章的主題大意、缺省信息的詞義以及語(yǔ)法項(xiàng)目等。關(guān)注微信公眾號(hào)：林健英語(yǔ)。根據(jù)考試大綱，主要題型有：詞匯辨析題、搭配題、語(yǔ)法題和邏輯關(guān)系題。今年的考題與往年類(lèi)似，題目以上下文理解暗示和詞義辨析為主。語(yǔ)法項(xiàng)目已經(jīng)淡出完形填空考察的范圍，除第6題常用邏輯關(guān)系詞的詞義及其用法外，其余的題目都是詞義辨析題，包括動(dòng)詞、名詞、形容詞、代詞、連詞、介詞等各類(lèi)詞的辨析。其中包括純單詞辨識(shí)(第3、4、5、7、8、10、12、13、14、15、16、17、18、20題)、同綴詞辨析(第1、2、11、20題)、近義詞辨析也已經(jīng)不是考察重點(diǎn)(第16題)、詞組辨析(第10題)以及介詞搭配(第9、19題)。
由此可見(jiàn)，英語(yǔ)知識(shí)運(yùn)用部分越來(lái)越重視詞匯的考查，完型填空選項(xiàng)詞匯重復(fù)率非常高，達(dá)到96%以上，這就要求18級(jí)考生盡量擴(kuò)大詞匯量，尤其是大綱范圍內(nèi)常用詞匯的含義和用法。關(guān)注微信公眾號(hào)：林健英語(yǔ)。
第二部分閱讀理解A分析
閱讀理解A部分由四篇文章和20道選擇題組成。四篇文章平均420字左右，相比往年略有增加，但難度比前幾年略有下降。文章全部選自英美報(bào)刊文摘或網(wǎng)絡(luò)博文，內(nèi)容涉及體育運(yùn)動(dòng)、手機(jī)等電子設(shè)備與家庭關(guān)系、大學(xué)生與經(jīng)驗(yàn)積累以及城市火災(zāi)就業(yè)四個(gè)話(huà)題，體裁均為論說(shuō)文。文章雖然在原文基礎(chǔ)上做了少許改動(dòng)，但基本保持了原文的語(yǔ)言風(fēng)貌。試題題型主要包括：細(xì)節(jié)題、推斷題、判斷題、情感態(tài)度題、詞義推斷題和主旨題六大題型。
閱讀理解第一篇考察的是Parkrun，這是現(xiàn)在很流行的一種周末相約出去跑步五公里的運(yùn)動(dòng)，而且文章還談到了倫敦奧運(yùn)會(huì)，對(duì)這個(gè)活動(dòng)的影響;第二篇閱讀討論的的現(xiàn)在很實(shí)際的話(huà)題，人們總使用手機(jī)等電子設(shè)備后，對(duì)家庭成員關(guān)系的影響;第三篇閱讀理解圍繞著gap year，間隔年展開(kāi)，是否學(xué)生應(yīng)該在上大學(xué)之前，先去出去積累一些經(jīng)驗(yàn);第四篇閱讀選至于 源于The Christian Science MonitorJuly 1, 2016;http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/2016/0701/As-wildfires-challenge-California-the-causes-go-beyond-climateA shift in thoughtBy Jessica Mendoza, Staff writerJuly1, 2016;講的是wildfires，野火。怎樣才能解決在具體一個(gè)城市失火的這一問(wèn)題。
通篇來(lái)看，難度不大，保持之前一直的水準(zhǔn)。首先，我們之前說(shuō)過(guò)，英語(yǔ)二的閱讀題，主要以細(xì)節(jié)題為主，今年也仍然是這樣，通過(guò)題干當(dāng)中的細(xì)節(jié)定位，找到答案的來(lái)源句，然后仔細(xì)閱讀找出答案;其次，話(huà)題新潮，從剛才我們看的這四篇閱讀來(lái)看，parkrun，以及科技帶給生活的改變，以及野火，間隔年，這些話(huà)題也一直都是英語(yǔ)二的作風(fēng)，那就是緊跟社會(huì)話(huà)題，社會(huì)熱點(diǎn)。所以如果你是準(zhǔn)備2018年考研的考生，那你一定要在接下來(lái)的一年中，好好復(fù)習(xí)，多看一些英語(yǔ)方面的短文雜志之類(lèi)的。對(duì)于今年的考生而言，應(yīng)該總體問(wèn)題不大，因?yàn)樵诳紙?chǎng)中可以感覺(jué)到學(xué)生們還是答題很快，而且也普遍覺(jué)得題目比較簡(jiǎn)單。
考研英語(yǔ)，得閱讀者得天下，得細(xì)節(jié)題得閱讀。不少同學(xué)一直對(duì)如何復(fù)習(xí)閱讀百思不得其解。經(jīng)常聽(tīng)到有同學(xué)說(shuō)，題目做了很多，答案都已經(jīng)記得了，就是沒(méi)有大的進(jìn)步。學(xué)而不思則罔，做題的數(shù)量不能作為標(biāo)準(zhǔn)來(lái)衡量進(jìn)步。我們要真正找到復(fù)習(xí)的高效策略。
首先，在時(shí)間規(guī)劃合理的情況下，建議早期備考的學(xué)員適當(dāng)閱讀與考試材料來(lái)源有關(guān)的期刊雜志文章，比如Newsweek, The Guardian，The Economist，New York Times等等，精讀精翻。而且，還可以積累自己的背景知識(shí)。在閱讀過(guò)程中，要有意識(shí)地重視長(zhǎng)難句破解，學(xué)會(huì)分析句子主干成分，也就是主謂賓，把其他的修飾成分都拿掉，比如定同狀補(bǔ)，這樣句子的核心意思就清晰了。此外，記單詞的時(shí)候，要結(jié)合語(yǔ)境，要多多關(guān)注詞性，注意色彩詞匯，重點(diǎn)記憶高頻有效詞匯。
真題是王道。在研究真題過(guò)程中呢，窺破命題人思路最重要。關(guān)注微信公眾號(hào)：林健英語(yǔ)。首先要做到認(rèn)真讀題干，翻譯題干，捕捉一些關(guān)鍵詞，設(shè)別陷阱，同時(shí)判斷考查題型。我們說(shuō)閱讀主要考查題型有：主旨大意題、推斷題、判斷題、推測(cè)詞義句意題、情感態(tài)度題，以及細(xì)節(jié)題。今年的試題中，大部分題型都考到了。對(duì)題干準(zhǔn)確理解之后，我們就需要根據(jù)題干給出的關(guān)鍵信息回到原文中精確定位，然后研讀考點(diǎn)信息，最后利用答案特征和干擾項(xiàng)特征，依據(jù)原文信息，完美匹配選項(xiàng)，得出答案。
第三部分 新題型
今年閱讀理解新題型部分考查的是大綱規(guī)定的兩種題型之一——多項(xiàng)對(duì)應(yīng)題，也是我們所熟知的連線(xiàn)題。這種題型考前我們就在新題型滿(mǎn)分班重點(diǎn)訓(xùn)練過(guò)，關(guān)注微信公眾號(hào)：林健英語(yǔ)。難度適中。
第一段描述了狄更斯歷史地位。后面開(kāi)始挖空，如果讀一下首尾句，讀一下中間內(nèi)容，中間內(nèi)容也不是特別難。可以讀到有這樣的感受，按照人生時(shí)間順序描述他當(dāng)年出生描述到后來(lái)家庭變故。從他父親從監(jiān)獄里釋放出來(lái)，再描述到職業(yè)生涯起步，再?gòu)拿枋鲂《叹�，再描述到他做出了比較有名的幽默的小說(shuō)，幽默小說(shuō)，最后是以他人生最巔峰的一部，也是我們最了解的一部小說(shuō)《霧都孤兒》來(lái)結(jié)尾。
這類(lèi)題側(cè)重考查考生快速檢索能力，重點(diǎn)是查讀的能力，所以做這類(lèi)題目是有規(guī)律可循的，即使對(duì)文章沒(méi)有完全理解，也可以正確解答。另外，在題目設(shè)置上，左側(cè)題干都是包含大寫(xiě)字母的人名，在文中非常容易辨識(shí)，所以考生只要快速定位到文中相應(yīng)段落，然后再根據(jù)關(guān)鍵字的上下文意思得出正確答案即可。難度明顯偏低。
41. F�！窘馕觥扛鶕�(jù)direction，B、D選項(xiàng)位置已知，并且D選項(xiàng)是作為首段出現(xiàn)。根據(jù)D選項(xiàng)內(nèi)容，介紹狄更斯的身份地位，F(xiàn)選項(xiàng)開(kāi)頭部分也是對(duì)于狄更斯出身的介紹，講述其出生地的應(yīng)該在文章開(kāi)篇的前兩段提到，并且之后介紹到其父母、家庭信息，也構(gòu)成了語(yǔ)義的銜接，故選F。
42. E�！窘馕觥扛鶕�(jù)41空的F選項(xiàng)后半段，大量提到了狄更斯父親被判入獄的事情以及對(duì)其后期寫(xiě)小說(shuō)的影響，觀(guān)察剩下的幾個(gè)選項(xiàng)，E選項(xiàng)的段首提到了soon after his father’s release fromprison, Dickens got a…，E選項(xiàng)的首句和F選項(xiàng)的內(nèi)容能夠構(gòu)成最大銜接，故選E。
43. A�！窘馕觥坑^(guān)察E選項(xiàng)末句，提到了狄更斯對(duì)于生活有獨(dú)特的視角，并能根據(jù)生活內(nèi)容來(lái)創(chuàng)作，把創(chuàng)作內(nèi)容提交給雜志，其中submitted short sketches to obscure magazines和A選項(xiàng)的首句the first published sketch “A Dinner at Poplar Work”能夠構(gòu)成銜接連貫，故選A。
44. C�！窘馕觥�44小題可以根據(jù)A選項(xiàng)的最后一句或B選項(xiàng)的段首句來(lái)進(jìn)行判斷，根據(jù)B選項(xiàng)首句，提到了特指the runaway success of The Pickwick Papers，再觀(guān)察剩下的選項(xiàng)，C選項(xiàng)的末句提到了The comic novel, The PosthumousPapers of the Pickwick Clubs…，故44空選C。
45. G�！窘馕觥扛鶕�(jù)排除法，還剩下G選項(xiàng)，并且B選項(xiàng)末句提到的Pickwick，和G選項(xiàng)開(kāi)頭的after Pickwick，也能構(gòu)成銜接，故45選G。
第四部分翻譯
本文節(jié)選自http://www.fmprochester.info/news/featured-student/inese-gailane
發(fā)表的一篇博文。本文在原文基礎(chǔ)上稍作了改寫(xiě)，全文只1段，共5句話(huà)為幾年來(lái)最少，其中包括1個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單句，3個(gè)復(fù)合句和1個(gè)復(fù)雜句。但是，大部分句子結(jié)構(gòu)不太復(fù)雜，也沒(méi)有出現(xiàn)太多生僻詞。不過(guò)，要將原文完整通順地翻譯出來(lái)，需要考生結(jié)合上下文，采用增詞、意譯等多種翻譯策略靈活處理。今年的翻譯題與往年相比，從總體難度上來(lái)說(shuō)下降了許多。
翻譯原文：
MyDream
1.My dream has always been to worksomewhere in an area between fashion and publishing. 2.Two years beforegraduating from secondary school, I took a sewing and design course thinkingthat I would move on to a fashion design course.3. However, during that courseI realized that I was not good enough in this area to compete with othercreative personalities in the future, so I decided that it was not the rightpath for me. 4.Before applying for university I told everyone that I wouldstudy journalism, because writing was, and still is, one of my favoriteactivities.5. But, to be absolutely honest, I said it, because I thought thatfashion and me together was just a dream --- I knew that no one, apart from myself,could imagine me in the fashion industry at all!
[翻譯解析]
1.My dream has always been to work somewhere in an area betweenfashion and publishing。
【參考譯文】我的夢(mèng)想一直是在時(shí)裝設(shè)計(jì)和出版界之間找尋一個(gè)工作。
【句子分析】這個(gè)句子是簡(jiǎn)單句，句子主干是My dreamhas always been to work，后面的部分是狀語(yǔ)。難點(diǎn)的地方在于狀語(yǔ)部分somewherein an area between fashion and publishing，這里somewhere不需要翻譯出來(lái)避免后面的介詞短語(yǔ)重復(fù)，抽象理解為在時(shí)尚設(shè)計(jì)和出版界之間找尋一個(gè)工作。
2.Two years before graduating from secondary school， I took a sewing and design course thinking that I would move onto a fashion design course。
【參考譯文】在我中學(xué)畢業(yè)的兩年前，我參加了一個(gè)縫紉和設(shè)計(jì)課程，原以為我能再繼續(xù)參加一個(gè)時(shí)裝設(shè)計(jì)的課程。
【句子分析】句子主干為I took a sewing and design course 后面是現(xiàn)在分詞短語(yǔ)thinking that I would move on to a fashion design course作伴隨狀語(yǔ)。
3.However， during that course I realized that Iwas not good enough in this area to compete with other creative personalitiesin the future， so I decided that it was not the right path for me。
【參考譯文】然而，就在這個(gè)課程上，我意識(shí)到，將來(lái)在這個(gè)領(lǐng)域，我是無(wú)法和那些富于創(chuàng)新精神的精英們相媲美的。于是，我斷定到這條路走不通。
【句子分析】句子結(jié)構(gòu)是i realized +that 引導(dǎo)的賓語(yǔ)從句，so引導(dǎo)的結(jié)果狀語(yǔ)從句，結(jié)果狀語(yǔ)從句中that引導(dǎo)賓語(yǔ)從句。第一個(gè)賓語(yǔ)從句中主干是I was not good enough in this area，其后有動(dòng)詞不定式短語(yǔ)做目的狀語(yǔ)。
4.Before applying for university I told everyone that I wouldstudy journalism， because writing was， and still is， one of my favorite activities。
【參考譯文】在申請(qǐng)上大學(xué)之前，我和所有人都講，我想學(xué)新聞學(xué)，因?yàn)椋瑢?xiě)作曾經(jīng)是，現(xiàn)在也是我最喜歡的活動(dòng)之一。
【句子分析】句子結(jié)構(gòu)為I told everyone +that引導(dǎo)的賓語(yǔ)從句，because引導(dǎo)的狀語(yǔ)從句。
5.But， to be absolutely honest， I said it， because I thought that fashion andme together was just a dream - I knew that no one， apart frommyself， could imagine me in the fashion industry at all!
【參考譯文】但是，說(shuō)實(shí)話(huà)，我之所以這樣說(shuō)，是因?yàn)槲乙詾閺氖聲r(shí)裝設(shè)計(jì)不過(guò)是一個(gè)夢(mèng)想，我也知道，除了我之外，沒(méi)有人能想象出我會(huì)從事時(shí)裝設(shè)計(jì)的工作
【句子分析】本句主句為I said it ，其后又because 引導(dǎo)原因狀語(yǔ)從句，原因狀語(yǔ)從句中that引導(dǎo)了賓語(yǔ)從句。破折號(hào)之后的句子結(jié)構(gòu)為I know +that引導(dǎo)的賓語(yǔ)從句。
第五部分寫(xiě)作
【小作文】
假設(shè)你被邀請(qǐng)，給留學(xué)生做關(guān)于中國(guó)文化的報(bào)告。
我們上課時(shí)特別強(qiáng)調(diào)不管考英語(yǔ)1還是英語(yǔ)2，重視一下考過(guò)的歷年小作文真題。有相互借鑒作用。解題時(shí)，千萬(wàn)別匆忙下筆，必須仔細(xì)研讀direction里的要求，分清楚具體是何種信。不要原句照抄，可以使用里邊個(gè)別詞匯或者詞組，這位教授邀請(qǐng)你做一個(gè)報(bào)告介紹中國(guó)文化，寫(xiě)一封回信�！�2016年英語(yǔ)2考的回信，去年是贏(yíng)得一場(chǎng)翻譯比賽，一位朋友向你表示祝賀，今年再次寫(xiě)回信。
書(shū)信兩大出題方式，第一種逆向出題。第二種兩種結(jié)合，兩種書(shū)信結(jié)合起來(lái)整整你。但是，萬(wàn)變不離其中，不同瓶子裝相似的酒而已。關(guān)注微信公眾號(hào)：林健英語(yǔ)。。
有三點(diǎn)提綱，第一點(diǎn)展開(kāi)放在第一段，第二點(diǎn)展開(kāi)放在第二段。第三段再次感謝。
第一點(diǎn)接受邀請(qǐng)，要感謝一下，用感謝信的寒暄語(yǔ);第二點(diǎn)中國(guó)文化報(bào)告的關(guān)鍵點(diǎn)。
這個(gè)作文也是關(guān)于文化話(huà)題的，如果背過(guò)文化交流文化融合里很多表達(dá)可以使用，關(guān)于中國(guó)文化，文化的內(nèi)涵很廣泛，隨便寫(xiě)一種就可以。
【大作文】
今年考研英語(yǔ)二大作文是考研老司機(jī)的盛宴，精心研究歷年真題的學(xué)生得到了回報(bào)�？v觀(guān)考研英語(yǔ)二寫(xiě)作，四次柱狀圖，兩次餅圖，一次表格�？记拔揖痛竽戭A(yù)測(cè)過(guò)，連續(xù)考過(guò)靜態(tài)圖之后，該輪到動(dòng)態(tài)圖了，而且，折線(xiàn)圖是大熱門(mén)!當(dāng)你看到那兩條單一雙升趨勢(shì)的折線(xiàn)時(shí)，是不是頓時(shí)想起來(lái)“2010年手機(jī)訂購(gòu)量的變化圖”。關(guān)注微信公眾號(hào)：林健英語(yǔ)。出題人為了第一次全日制和非全日制考生第一次共同的考卷真是操碎了心，太仁慈了。
我們來(lái)看看第一段描述數(shù)據(jù)中的套路：雙升圖最佳區(qū)分為飆升和緩升，考生只需要對(duì)考察的兩條折線(xiàn)分別進(jìn)行數(shù)據(jù)內(nèi)容呈現(xiàn)就可以了。這么簡(jiǎn)單的句式，我在作文班都詳細(xì)地訓(xùn)練過(guò)，唯一遺憾的是好多考生博物館的英語(yǔ)不會(huì)寫(xiě)，寫(xiě)成library了。
其次，第二段的原因分析及個(gè)人評(píng)價(jià)，針對(duì)博物館數(shù)量及參觀(guān)者的數(shù)量變化趨勢(shì)，考生可以從經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展，國(guó)家政策，媒體導(dǎo)向，觀(guān)念改變等方面選取2到3點(diǎn)即可。無(wú)論是精神層面還是物質(zhì)層面，我在考前為大家精心準(zhǔn)備的語(yǔ)料，寫(xiě)起來(lái)會(huì)輕松寫(xiě)意得多。
