　　时间是有限的，复习应该有针对性，避免无用功。如何把握脉络，有效复习？当然就是参考历年真题。文都教育考研英语老师继续为大家梳理考研英语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2006年考研英语真题阅读Text 3，这篇文章主要探讨了海洋生物由于过度捕捞而遭到威胁的状况。
　　Dr. Worm acknowledges that these figures are conservative... Today’s vessels can find their prey using satellites and sonar, which were not available ... a higher proportion of ... is likely to be worse than the one recorded by changes in catch sizes... longlines would have been more saturated with fish. ..., since no baited hooks would have been available to trap them, leading to an underestimate of fish stocks in the past. Furthermore, in the early days of longline fishing, a lot of fish were lost to sharks after they had been hooked...
　　acknowledge“承认”；figure“数字”；conservative“保守的”；vessel“船舶”；prey“猎物”，相当于game；sonar“声呐”；available“可获得的，可用的”；a higher proportion of“更高比例的”；be likely to do“有可能”；record“记录”；catch size“捕捞规模”；longline“多钩长线”；be saturated with“充满”；since引导原因状语从句；baited hook“带饵钩”；trap“诱捕”；lead to“导致”；underestimate“低估”；fish stock“鱼群”；furthermore“此外”；shark“鲨鱼”；hook“钩住”。
　　... argue ... baseline, which future management efforts must take into account... support an idea current among marine biologists, that of the “shifting baseline.” The notion is that people have failed to detect the massive changes ... because they have been looking back only a relatively short time into the past. That matters because theory suggests that the maximum sustainable yield that can be cropped from a fishery comes when the biomass of a target species is about 50% of its original levels. Most fisheries are well below that, which is a bad way to do business.
　　argue“认为”；baseline“基线”；management effort可以表示“管理工作”；take into account“考虑”；support“支持”；current“现在的，目前的”；marine“海洋的”；shifting“移动的”；notion“观点”；fail to do“未能做某事”；detect“察觉，发现”；massive changes“巨大变化”；look back into the past“回顾过去”；a relatively short time“相对较短的一段时间”；matter“要紧”；suggest“表明”；maximum sustainable yield“最大限度的持续产量”；crop from“从...中收获”；a target species“目标物种”；original“原始的，最初的”；well below“远远低于”。
　　以上就是文都教育考研英语老师为大家梳理的2006年考研英语真题阅读Text 3后两段的要点。“学而不思则罔，思而不学则殆”。死记硬背，生搬硬套，终究无法从根本上解决问题。因此，各位同学在复习过程中，一定注重学习与思考相结合，同时把理论应用于实践，举一反三，触类旁通，争取最大限度提升个人能力。
