　　就考研英语真题而言，阅读部分所占分值比重最大。为了帮助各位同学更好地复习，文都教育考研英语老师为大家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。接下来看一下考研英语历年真题阅读要点之2016-Text 2（二），这篇文章主要探讨了英国各党派对乡村的不同态度。
　　The sensible place to build new houses, factories and offices is where people are, in cities and towns where infrastructure is in place. The London agents Stirling Ackroyd recently identified enough sites for half a million houses in the London area alone, with no intrusion on green belt. What is true of London is even truer of the provinces.
　　sensible“合理的”，也可以表示“明智的”；infrastructure“基础设施”；in place“就绪”；identify“确定”；site“地点，位置”；intrusion“侵扰”；be true of“符合，对...适用”。
　　The idea that “housing crisis” equals “concreted meadows” is pure lobby talk. The issue is not the need for more houses but, as always, where to put them. Under lobby pressure, George Osborne favours rural new-build against urban renovation and renewal. He favours out-of-town shopping sites against high streets. This is not a free market but a biased one. Rural towns and villages have grown and will always grow. They do so best where building sticks to their edges and respects their character. We do not ruin urban conservation areas. Why ruin rural ones?
　　crisis“危机”；equal“等同于”；concreted“混凝土的”；meadow“草地”；lobby talk“游说之词”；favour“赞成，偏爱”；out-of-town“位于市外的”；high street“大街，主要街道”；biased“有偏见的”；rural town“乡镇”；willage“村庄”；stick to“坚持”；edge“边缘”；character“特色”；urban conservation areas“城市保护区”。
　　Development should be planned, not let rip. After the Netherlands, Britain is Europe’s most crowed country. Half a century of town and country planning has enabled it to retain an enviable rural coherence, while still permitting low-density urban living. There is no doubt of the alternative -- the corrupted landscapes of southern Portugal, Spain or Ireland. Avoiding this rather than promoting it should unite the left and right of the political spectrum.
　　let rip“无拘无束行事”；retain“保持”；enviable“值得羡慕的”；coherence“一致，连贯性”，形容词形式coherent；permit“许可，允许”，名词形式permission；low-density“低密度的”；alternative“可供选择的事物”；corrupted“毁坏的”；avoid“避免”；rather than“而不是”；unite“联合”；political spectrum可以指“政治派别”。
　　以上就是文都教育考研英语老师为大家梳理的2016年Text 2后三段的要点。建议各位同学从复习之初就接触阅读，不断培养语感以及解题能力。同时，词汇和语法的复习也可以结合阅读语境，记忆和掌握效果更佳。毕竟复习时间有限，希望各位同学可以采取简单高效的方法完成复习任务。
