考研英语（二）历年真题阅读要点之2016-Text 3（一）
为了提升阅读能力，各位同学不仅要掌握基本的方法，而且要注重实践。历年真题是最宝贵的复习资料。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2016年Text 3，这篇文章主要探讨了如何寻找时间进行阅读。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.
cliché“陈词滥调”；specific“特殊的”；complaint“抱怨”；mournfully“悲哀地”。
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.
thorny“棘手的，令人苦恼的”；time-management technique“时间管理技巧”；sufficient“足够的，充分的”；be full of“充满”；article“文章”；tip“建议”；give up“放弃”；at all times“始终”；method“方法”；free up“空出来”；odd“零散的”；flywheel“惯性轮”；work-related thought“与工作相关的想法”；spin“旋转”；exhausted“疲惫的”；challenging“有挑战性的”。
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.
novelist“小说家”；critic“批评家”；overwhelmingly“压倒性地，不可抵抗地”；be inclined toward/ to“倾向于”；interrupt“打断，妨碍”；deep reading“深度阅读”；require“需要”；obtain“获得”；efficient“高效的”。
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.
think of...as...“看作，视为”；resource“资源”；maximise“最大化”；approach“接近”；instrumentally“机械地”；judge“判断”；given“既定的”；in so far as“在...限度内，在...范围内”；advance“促进”；progress“进步，发展”；immersive“沉浸式的，沉浸感的”；by contrast“相反”；depend on“取决于”；be willing to do“乐意做某事”；risk“冒...的危险”；inefficiency“无效率”。
