考研英语（二）历年真题阅读要点之2016-Text 1（二）
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 1，这篇文章主要探讨了早期计算机编程教育是有益的。The Flatiron School, where people pay to learn programming, started as one of the many coding bootcamps that’s become popular for adults looking for a career change. The high-schoolers get the same curriculum, but “we try to gear lessons toward things they’re interested in,” said Victoria Friedman, an instructor. For instance, one of the apps the students are developing suggests movies based on your mood.
pay to learn programming“花钱学习编程”；bootcamp“训练营地”；career“职业”；high-schoolers“中学生”；curriculum“课程”；try to do“试图做某事”；gear toward“使朝...方向发展”；be interested in“对...感兴趣”；instructor“教员”；develop“开发”；suggest“表明”；be based on“基于”；mood“心境”。
The students in the Flatiron class probably won’t drop out of high school and build the next Facebook. Programming languages have a quick turnover, so the “Ruby on Rails” language they learned may not even be relevant by the time they enter the job market. But the skills they learn--how to think logically through a problem and organize the results--apply to any coding language, said Deborah Seehorn, an education consultant for the state of North Carolina.
drop out of“退学”；turnover“变动，周转”，have a quick turnover可以理解为“变幻莫测”；Ruby on Rails指“软件工程师”；relevant“相关的”；enter the job market“进入职场”；skill“技能”；think through“彻底地想清楚”；logically“逻辑上，合乎逻辑地”；apply to“适用于”；education consultant“教育顾问”。
Indeed, the Flatiron students might not go into IT at all. But creating a future army of coders is not the sole purpose of the classes. These kids are going to be surrounded by computers--in their pockets, in their offices, in their homes--for the rest of their lives. The younger they learn how computers think, how to coax the machine into producing what they want--the earlier they learn that they have the power to do that--the better.
go into IT“进入IT行业”；army“军队”；sole“唯一的”；purpose“目的”；be surrounded by“为...所包围”；pocket“口袋”；coax“耐心地摆弄（机器）”，coax sb. into doing可以表示“哄骗”；“the + 比较级，the + 比较级”表示“越...，越...”。
以上就是文都教育考研英语老师为大家梳理的2016年Text 1后三段的要点。考研迫在眉睫。“明日复明日，明日何其多? 我生待明日，万事成蹉跎。”把握今天，胜过两个明天。各位同学，马上行动起来，用努力和方法提升自己，实现目标吧！
