“宝剑锋从磨砺出，梅花香自苦寒来。”各位同学，为了考研成功，一定要克服困难，认真准备哦。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2013年Text 3，这篇文章主要探讨了人类对于未来的畅想。
Up until a few decades ago, our visions of the future were largely -- though by no means uniformly -- glowingly positive. Science and technology would cure all the ills of humanity, leading to lives of fulfillment and opportunity for all.
up until“一直到...”；a few decades ago“几十年前”；vision“设想，构想”；largely“主要地，在很大程度上”；by no means“决不”，也可以用under no circumstances，in no way；uniformly“一致地”；glowingly“灼热地”；positive“乐观的，积极的”，反义词negative“悲观的，消极的”；glowingly positive可以理解为“相当乐观的”；cure“治愈”，形容词形式curable，其反义词incurable“不能治愈的，无可救药的”；lead to“导致，通向”。
Now utopia has grown unfashionable, as we have gained a deeper appreciation of the range of threats facing us, from asteroid strike to epidemic flu and to climate change. You might even be tempted to assume that humanity has little future to look forward to.
unfashionable“过时的”；appreciation“理解”；range“范围”；threat“威胁”；asteroid strike“小行星碰撞”；epidemic flu“流行感冒”；climate change“气候变化”；be tempted to do“想要做某事”；assume“假设”；look forward to“期待”。
But such gloominess is misplaced. The fossil record shows that many species have endured for millions of years... Take a broader look at our species’ place in the universe, and it becomes clear that we have an excellent chance of surviving for tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of years.
gloominess“沮丧”；misplace“放错地方”；fossil record“化石记录”；endure“持续”；take a broader look at“放眼纵观”；in the universe“在宇宙中”；have an excellent chance of doing可以表示“极有可能做某事”。
Look up Homo sapiens in the “Red List” of threatened species of ... and you will read: “Listed as Least Concern as the species is very widely distributed, adaptable, currently increasing, and there are no major threats resulting in an overall population decline.”
look up“查阅”；Homo sapien“现代人”；threatened species“濒危物种”；distribute“分布”；adaptable“能适应的”；result in“导致”；overall“全部的，整体的”；population decline“种群衰落”。
以上就是文都教育考研英语老师为大家梳理的2013年Text 3前三段的要点。“古之立大事者，不惟有超世之才，亦必有坚忍不拔之志。”不经历风雨，怎能见彩虹？考研尚未成功，同学仍需努力。不管遇到什么样的困难，一定要认真复习。坚持，坚持，坚持！
