随着考研英语复习的推进,我们越来越接近的真题。各位同学是否具备了一定的应试能力呢?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2013年考研英语(二)真题阅读Text 1,这篇文章主要探讨了随着自动化的发展,人类劳动应该告别平庸。
In an essay entitled “Making It in America”, the author Adam Davidson relates a joke from cotton about just how much a modern textile mill has been automated: The average mill has only two employees today, “a man and a dog. The man is there to feed the dog, and the dog is there to keep the man away from the machines.”
essay指“短文,散文”;entitle“名为...”,be entitled to“有权,有...的资格”;relate“叙述”,也可以表示“使...有联系”;joke“笑话”;modern“现代的”,modernism“现代主义”,2010英语(一)写作涉及到postmodernism“后现代主义”,各位同学掌握了基础词汇之后,一定要懂得举一反三、触类旁通;textile mill“纺织厂”;automate“使自动化”;average“普通的”,average people“普通人”,average也可以指“平均的”,常见搭配on average“平均”;employee“雇员”,employer“雇主”;feed“喂养”;keep...away from...“使...远离...”。
Davidson’s article is one of a number of pieces that have recently appeared making the point that the reason we have such stubbornly high unemployment and declining middle-class incomes today is largely because of the big drop in demand because of the Great Recession, but it is also because of the advances in both globalization and the information technology revolution, which are more rapidly than ever replacing labor with machines or foreign worker.
article“文章”;a number of“若干,许多”;make the point“证明一个论点”;stubbornly“顽固地”,形容词形式stubborn可以指“固执的,难处理的”;high unemployment“高失业率”,unemployment“失业”,反义词employment“就业”;declining“减少的”;middle-class“中产阶级的”;income主要指“个人收入”,revenue指“国家收入”;big drop in demand because of the Great Recession“大萧条导致的需求的大幅度降低”;globalization“全球化”;information technology revolution“信息技术革命”;replace...with...“用...取代...”,replace的名词形式replacement。
