阅读部分在整套考研英语试卷中所占的分值比重是最大的，因此突破阅读是考研英语过线甚至取得高分的关键。为了帮助大家更好地复习，文都教育考研英语老师为各位同学梳理一下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2014年考研英语真题阅读Text 4，这篇文章主要探讨了住房问题。When the government talks about infrastructure contributing to the economy the focus is usually on roads, railways, broadband and energy. Housing is seldom mentioned.
infrastructure“基础设施”；contribute to“有助于”；focus“焦点”；broadband“宽带”；housing“住房”；seldom“很少”；mention“提到”。
Why is that? To some extent the housing sector must shoulder the blame. We have not been good at communicating the real value that housing can contribute to economic growth. Then there is the scale of the typical housing project. It is hard to shove for attention among multibillion-pound infrastructure project, so it is inevitable that the attention is focused elsewhere. But perhaps the most significant reason is that the issue has always been so politically charged.
to some extent“在某种程度上”，也可以用to some degree；sector“部门”；shoulder“承担”；blame“责任”，也可以表示“责备”；be good at“擅长”，相当于do well in；communicate“传达”；contribute...to...“贡献”；scale“规模”；typical“典型的”；project“工程，项目”；shove for attention可以表示“脱颖而出”；inevitable“不可避免的”，相当于unavoidable；the most significant reason“最重要的原因”；charge“负责”，the issue has always been so politically charged可以指“这一问题一直受到政治制约”。
Nevertheless, the affordable housing situation is desperate. Waiting lists increase all the time and we are simply not building enough new homes.
nevertheless“然而”，表转折；affordable“负担得起的”；desperate“令人绝望的”，be desperate for表示“极度渴望”；waiting list“等待批准的申请人名单”；all the time“一直”。
The comprehensive spending review offers an opportunity for the government to help rectify this. It needs to put historical prejudices to one side and take some steps to address our urgent housing need.
comprehensive“综合的”；spending“花费”；review“审查”；offer“提供”；opportunity“机会”；rectify“整顿”；put...to one side“把...搁置一边”；historical prejudice“历史偏见”；take some steps to do“采取措施做某事”，也可以用take some measures/ actions to do；address“处理，应对”；urgent“紧急的”；housing need“住房需求”。
