考研英语历年真题阅读要点之2008-Text 2（一）
“古之立大事者，不惟有超世之才，亦必有坚忍不拔之志。”各位同学，你们的考研复习进度如何？需要坚持不懈哦。文都英语老师继续为大家梳理历年考研英语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2008年考研英语真题阅读Text 2，这篇文章主要探讨了研究成果获取途径的改变。It used to be so straightforward. A team of researchers working together in the laboratory would submit the results of their research to a journal. A journal editor would then remove the authors’ names and affiliations from the paper and send it to their peers for review. Depending on the comments received, the editor would accept the paper for publication or decline it. Copyright rested with the journal publisher, and researchers seeking knowledge of the results would have to subscribe to the journal.
used to be“过去曾经”；straightforward“简单直接的”；working together现在分词充当后置定语；laboratory“实验室”；submit...to...“提交”；journal“期刊”；affiliation“附属机构”；paper“论文”；peer“同行”；review“审阅”；comment“评论”；publication“发表，出版”；decline“拒绝”；copyright“版权”；rest with“归属于”，也可以表示“在于，取决于”；seek knowledge of“寻求...的知识”，也就是“想要了解”；subscribe to“订阅”，也可以表示“赞同，捐款”。
No longer. The Internet -- and pressure from funding agencies, who are questioning why commercial publishers are making money from government-funded research by restricting access to it -- is making access to scientific results a reality... has just issued a report describing the far-reaching consequences of this. The report, ..., makes heavy reading for publishers who have, so far, made handsome profits. But it goes further than that. It signals a change in what has, until now, been a key element of scientific endeavor.
No longer.“情况不再是这样了。”表明现在已经和以前不同，接下来讲的是现在的情况。两个破折号之间补充说明，因此第二句的主干结构是The Internet is making access to scientific results a reality.“网络使得科研成果的获取变为现实。”funding agency“基金资助机构”；question“质疑”；commercial“商业的”；government-funded“政府资助的”；restrict“限制”；issue“发布”；far-reaching consequence“深远影响”；make heavy reading可以理解为“读起来心情沉重”；make handsome profits“获得可观的利润”。But it goes further than that.“但是它的意义不仅如此。”signal“标志”；key element“关键性要素”；scientific endeavor可以指“科学研究”。
以上就是文都英语老师为大家梳理的2008年考研英语真题阅读Text 2前两段的要点。“百川东到海，何时复西归？少壮不努力，老大徒伤悲。”各位同学，好好把握学习和探索的黄金时期，不断丰富自己，提升能力吧！“长风破浪会有时，直挂云帆济沧海。”
