考研英语历年真题阅读要点之2012-Text 2（一）
“逝者如斯夫，不舍昼夜。”时光如白驹过隙，转瞬即逝。各位同学，复习进度如何？赶紧行动起来哦！文都教育考研英语老师继续为大家梳理历年真题阅读文章中涉及的要点，包括词汇、短语、长难句以及简单的阅读方法。接下来看一下2012年考研英语真题阅读Text 2，这篇文章主要探讨了Entergy这家公司不遵守协议而招致的后果和影响。A deal is a deal -- except, apparently, when Entergy is involved. The company, a major energy supplier in New England, provoked justified outrage in Vermont last week when it announced it was reneging on a longstanding commitment to abide by the state’s strict nuclear regulations.
a deal is a deal“协议就是协议”；破折号后表明Entergy不遵守协议。a major energy supplier“一个主要的能源供应商”；provoke“引起”；justified“有正当理由的，合乎情理的”；outrage“愤怒”；announce“宣布”；renege on“违背”；longstanding“长期存在的”；commitment“承诺”；abide by“遵守”；strict nuclear regulations“严格的核管理条例”。
Instead, the company has done precisely what it had long promised it would not: challenge the constitutionality of Vermont’s rules in the federal court, as part of a desperate effort to keep its Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant running. It’s a stunning move.
precisely“正好，恰恰”；promise“承诺”；challenge“挑战”；constitutionality“合宪性”；federal court“联邦法院”；desperate effort“孤注一掷的努力”；nuclear power plant“核电站”；run“运营”；stunning“令人震惊的”；move“举措”。
The conflict has been surfacing since 2002, when the corporation bought Vermont’s only nuclear power plant, an aging reactor in Vernon. As a condition of receiving state approval for the sale, the company agreed to seek permission from state regulators to operate past 2012. In 2006, the state went a step further, requiring that any extension of the plant’s license be subject to Vermont legislature’s approval. Then, too, the company went along.
conflict“冲突”；surface“浮出水面”；corporation“公司”；an aging reactor“老化的反应堆”；as a condition of“作为...的条件”；approval“批准”；agree to do“同意做某事”；seek permission from“征求...的许可”；past可以指“越过，晚于”，past 2012就是“2012年之后”；go a step further结合语境，可以表示“做出进一步要求”；require“要求”；extension“延期”；license“许可证，执照”；be subject to“经受”；legislature“立法机关”；go along“赞同”。
以上就是文都教育考研英语老师为大家梳理的2012年Text 2前三段的要点。“学而时习之，不亦说乎？”某些知识点，尤其是相对陌生的，复习一遍是不够的。对于相对重要的内容，建议各位同学定期回顾，同时应用于实践。Practice makes perfect.熟能生巧。
