考研英语历年真题阅读要点之1992-Text 1
文都教育考研英语老师为大家梳理一下1992年考研英语历年真题阅读Text 1的要点，涉及相对重要的词汇和短语的含义和用法以及典型长难句的分析。这篇文章主要探讨了交通礼貌问题。It is all very well to blame traffic jams, the cost of petrol and the quick pace of modern life, but manners on the roads are becoming horrible... You might tolerate the odd road-hog, the rude and inconsiderate driver, but nowadays the well-mannered motorist is the exception to the rule.
the quick pace of modern life“现代生活的快节奏”这个短语可以用于写作；manners“礼貌”；tolerate“容忍”；odd“古怪的”；road-hog“乱开车者”；inconsiderate“不顾及他人的”，反义词considerate“考虑周到的”；well-mannered“有礼貌的”；the exception to...“是...的一个例外”。
Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too. It takes the most cool-headed and good-tempered of drivers to resist the temptation to revenge when subjected to uncivilized behavior. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards relieving the tensions of motoring... But such acknowledgements of politeness are all too rare today.
good manners“有礼貌”；good sense“判断力强”；cool-headed“沉着的，头脑冷静的”；good-tempered“脾气好的，宽容的”；temptation“诱惑”，动词tempt；revenge动词“报复”，也可以充当名词，常见搭配take revenge on“对...实施报复”；be subjected to...“遭受...”；uncivilized“不文明的”；go a long way towards“对...大有帮助”；all too“实在太...”。
Typical examples are the driver who brakes violently to allow a car to emerge from a side street at some hazard to following traffic... The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they care to.
at hazard“在危急中，随便地”；at some hazard to“对...造成一定的危险”；go for“适用于”；care to do“想要做某事”。
A veteran driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if motorists learnt to filter correctly into traffic streams one at a time without causing the total blockages that give rise to bad temper. Unfortunately, modern motorists can’t even learn to drive, let alone master the subtler aspects of boatmanship. Years ago the experts warned us that the car-ownership explosion would demand a lot more give-and-take from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.
veteran“经验丰富的”；faultless“无缺点的”；one at a time“一次性”；blockage“堵塞”；give rise to“引起”；unfortunately“不幸地”，反义词fortunately“幸运地”，阅读中出现不管是unfortunately还是fortunately，一律视为but，表示转折；let alone“更不用说”；subtle“微妙的”；give-and-take“妥协，互让”；it is high time for sb. to do sth.“对某人来说，是做某事的时候了。”这个句式往往可以用于写作，比如：It is high time for all of us to take some effective measures to protect our environment. take...to heart“认真关注”。
