　　对考研英语来说，阅读的重要性不言而喻。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2017-Text 1（一），这篇文章主要探讨了美国机场安检耗费大量时间这一问题。
　　First two hours, now three hours -- this is how far in advance authorities are recommending people show up to catch a domestic flight, at least at some major U.S. airports with increasingly massive security lines.
　　in advance“提前”；authorities“当局，官方”；recommend“建议，推荐”；show up“出现，露面”；domestic flight“国内航班”；at least“至少”；massive“大规模的”；security line“警戒线”。
　　Americans are willing to tolerate time-consuming security protocols in return for increased safety. The crash of Egypt Air Flight 804, which terrorists may have downed over the Mediterranean Sea, provides another tragic reminder of why. But demanding too much of air travelers or providing too little security in return undermines public support for the process. And it should: Wasted time is a drag on Americans’ economic and private lives, not to mention infuriating.
　　be willing to do“乐意做某事”；tolerate“容忍”；time-consuming“耗费时间的”；security protocol“安全协议”；in return for“作为回报，作为交换”；crash“坠毁”；provide“提供”；tragic“悲剧的，惨痛的”；reminder“暗示，提醒”；demand sth. of sb.“向...要求，向...索取”；undermine“破坏”；public support“公众支持”；drag“拖延”；infuriating“令人大怒的”。
　　Last year, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) found in a secret check that undercover investigators were able to sneak weapons -- both fake and real -- past airport security nearly every time they tried. Enhanced security measures since then, combined with a rise in airline travel due to the improving economy and low oil prices, have resulted in long waits at major airports such as Chicago’s O’Hare International. It is not yet clear how much more effective airline security has become -- but the lines are obvious.
　　secret check“秘密检查”；undercover“秘密的，秘密从事的”；investigator“调查者”；sneak“偷偷携带”；fake“假的，伪造的”；enhanced“增强的”；security measures“安全措施”；combined with“连同”；rise“增加”；due to“因为，由于”；improving economy“发展的经济”即“经济发展”；result in“导致”；long wait“漫长的等待”；it is not yet clear...“尚不明确”；effective“有效的”，take effective measures“采取有效措施”，efficient“高效的”；obvious“明显的，显而易见的”。
　　以上就是文都教育考研英语老师为大家梳理的2017年Text 1前三段的要点。毕竟复习时间有限，为了简单高效完成复习任务，建议大家及早接触考研英语阅读，不断培养语感和解题能力。同时，结合阅读语境，词汇和语法的复习效果也会更佳。
