考研英语历年真题阅读要点之2006-Text 1（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。接下来看一下考研英语真题阅读2006年Text 1，这篇文章主要讲了美国社会的同化作用。The 1990 Census revealed that “a majority of immigrants ... after ten years of residence.” The children of immigrants tend to be bilingual and proficient in English. “By the third generation, the original language is lost ...” Hence the description of America as a “graveyard” for languages...
census“人口普查”；reveal“揭示”；a majority of“大多数”；residence“居住”；tend to do“倾向于，趋向于”；bilingual“双语的”；be proficient in“精通”；original language“源语言”；graveyard“坟墓”。
... whites and blacks.” By the third generation, one third of Hispanic women are married to non-Hispanics, and 41 percent of Asian-American women are married to non-Asians.
Hispanic“西班牙裔”；whites and blacks“白人和黑人”；one third of“三分之一”；be married to“与...结婚”，marry为动词形式“结婚”，名词形式marriage，形容词形式marital“婚姻的”。
Rodriguez notes that children in remote villages around the world are fans of superstars like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Garth Brooks, yet “some Americans fear that immigrants living within the United States remain somehow immune to the nation’s assimilative power.”
note“注意到”；in remote villages“在遥远的村庄”；Arnold Schwarzenegger“阿诺德·斯瓦辛格”，由其主演的《终结者》和《金蝉脱壳》十分经典；yet表转折；fear“担心”；somehow“以某种方法，莫名其妙地”；be immune to“对...有免疫力，不受...的影响”；assimilative power“同化力量”。
Are there divisive issues and pockets of seething anger in America? Indeed. It is big enough to have a bit of everything. But particularly when viewed against America’s turbulent past, today’s social indices hardly suggest a dark and deteriorating social environment.
divisive“造成不和的，导致分裂的”；seething“火热的，沸腾的”；pockets of seething anger可以表示“极度愤怒”；a bit of everything“什么都有一点儿”。It is big enough to have a bit of everything.可以理解为“美国如此之大，以至于什么样的问题都存在。”particularly“尤其，特别”，相当于in particular；turbulent past“动荡不安的过去”；deteriorating“恶化的”，与dark之间由and连接，表明语义相近。
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 1后四段的要点。“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。
