现在基础阶段,大家的复习重点仍然是早年考研英语真题阅读的精读。阅读是一个相对综合的题型,在复习过程中,各方面能力都会有所提升。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2002年考研英语真题阅读Text 1,这篇文章主要讲了如何有效使用幽默。

  ... identify shared experiences and problems. Your humor must be relevant to... and are in sympathy with their point of view... you may refer to the disorganized methods of their secretaries; alternatively ... comment on ...

  identify“确定”;shared“共享的”;be relevant to“与...相关”;be in sympathy with“与...一致”;point of view“观点”,也可以用viewpoint,standpoint,opinion,view;refer to“涉及”;disorganized“紊乱的,无组织的”;secretary“秘书”;alternatively“或者”;comment on“对...作出评论”。

  ... convention, ... works well ... He sees wonderful accommodations... grabs his food and stomps over to a table by himself...

  convention“会议”;work well“有效”;accommodation“居住设施”;grab“夺取”;stomp“跺脚,重踩”;by oneself“独自地”。

  ... you will be in a position to know ... it’ll be appropriate for you to make a passing remark about the inedible canteen food or the chairman’s notorious bad taste in ties. With other audiences you mustn’t attempt to cut in with humor as they will resent an outsider making disparaging remarks about their canteen or their chairman. You will be on safer ground if you stick to scapegoats like the Post Office or the telephone system.

  be in a position to do“能够做某事,有做某事的机会”;appropriate“恰当的,合适的”;make a passing remark about“对...作出短暂的评论”;inedible“不可食用的,难以下咽的”;cantee“食堂”;notorious“臭名昭著的”,不认识无所谓,知道和bad含义相近即可;attempt to do“尝试做某事,企图做某事”;cut in“插嘴,打断”;resent“厌恶”;disparaging“毁谤的,轻蔑的”;stick to“坚持”;scapegoat“替罪羊”;尾句说的是“邮局和电话系统往往会成为笑柄”。

  If you feel awkward being humorous... off-the-cuff remarks which you can deliver in a relaxed and unforced manner... you are making a light-hearted remark.

  awkward“笨拙的,困难的”;off-the-cuff“即兴的”;deliver“发表”;unforced“自然的,不勉强的”;light-hearted“轻松愉快的”。

  ... A twist on a familiar quote ... or a play on words or on a situation... Look at your talk ... turn about and inject with humor.

  twist“扭曲”;quote“引语”;a play on words可以表示“双关语”;look at“考虑”;turn about“反复思考”;inject with“增添”。

  以上就是文都教育考研英语老师为大家梳理的2002年考研英语真题阅读Text 1的要点。“骐骥一跃,不能十步;驽马十驾,功在不舍。锲而舍之,朽木不折;锲而不舍,金石可镂。”切忌“三天打鱼,两天晒网,”对学习一定要有恒心和毅力,如果没有坚持,极有可能导致一事无成。
