考研英语历年真题阅读要点之2006-Text 2（二）
时间是有限的，复习应该有针对性，避免无用功。如何把握脉络，有效复习？当然就是参考历年真题。文都教育考研英语老师继续为大家梳理考研英语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2006年考研英语真题阅读Text 2，这篇文章主要探讨了皇家莎士比亚剧团缺乏资金的现状。The townsfolk don’t see it this way and local council does not contribute directly to the subsidy of the Royal Shakespeare Company. Stratford cries poor traditionally. Nevertheless every hotel in town seems to be adding a new wing or cocktail lounge. Hilton is building its own hotel there, which you may be sure will be decorated with ... and so forth, and will be very expensive.
local council“地方政府”；contribute to“对...做出贡献”，也可以用make contributions to；subsidy“补贴”；nevertheless表转折；wing“耳房”；cocktail lounge可以表示“休息室”；you may be sure为插入语；be decorated with“用...装饰”；由nevertheless转折处及接下来的举例论证可知，小镇并不是真的缺钱；and so forth相当于and so on。
Anyway, ... (The theatre has broken attendance records for three years in a row... occupied ...) The reason, of course, is that costs have rocketed and ticket prices have stayed low.
anyway“无论如何”，也可以用anyhow, in any case；break attendance record“打破了上座率记录”；in a row“连续”；occupy“占用”；rocket“迅速增加”；ticket price“票价”。
It would be a shame to raise prices too much because it would drive away the young people who are Stratford’s most attractive clientele... They all seem to look alike ... -- lean, pointed, dedicated faces, wearing jeans and sandals, eating their buns and bedding down for the night on the flagstones outside the theatre to buy the 20 seats and 80 standing-room tickets held for the sleepers and sold to them when the box office opens at 10:30 a.m.
it充当形式主语，真正的主语是to do；shame“羞耻”；raise price“提价”；drive away“赶走”；attractive“引人注目的”；clientele“顾客”，也可以用customer，consumer；look alike“看起来相像”；lean“瘦削的”；pointed“率直的”；dedicated faces可以表示“专注的表情”；bun“小圆面包”；bed down“找过夜睡觉的地方”；flagstone“石板”；standing-room ticket“站票”；be held for可以表示“为...预留”；box office“售票处”。
以上就是文都教育考研英语老师为大家梳理的2006年考研英语真题阅读Text 2后三段的要点。“学而不思则罔，思而不学则殆”。死记硬背，生搬硬套，终究无法从根本上解决问题。因此，各位同学在复习过程中，一定注重学习与思考相结合，同时把理论应用于实践，举一反三，触类旁通，争取最大限度提升个人能力。
