  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 2(一),这篇文章主要探讨了人们对在夏威夷莫纳克亚山架设望远镜的不同看法。

  “The ancient Hawaiians were astronomers,” wrote Queen Liliuokalani, Hawaii’s last reigning monarch, in 1897. Star watchers were among the most esteemed members of Hawaiian society. Sadly, all is not well with astronomy in Hawaii today. Protests have erupted over construction of the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT), a giant observatory that promises to revolutionize humanity's view of the cosmos.

  Hawaiian“夏威夷人”,Hawaii“夏威夷”;astronomer“天文学家”,astronomy“天文学”;reigning“统治的”;monarch“君主”;esteemed“受人尊敬的”;protest“抗议”;erupt“爆发”;construction“建造”;giant“巨大的”;observatory“天文台”;promise“承诺”;revolutionize“彻底改革”;humanity“人类”;view of the cosmos“宇宙观”。

  At issue is the TMT’s planned location on Mauna Kea, a dormant volcano worshiped by some Hawaiians as the piko, that connects the Hawaiian Islands to the heavens. But Mauna Kea is also home to some of the world's most powerful telescopes. Rested in the Pacific Ocean, Mauna Kea’s peak rises above the bulk of our planet’s dense atmosphere, where conditions allow telescopes to obtain images of unsurpassed clarity.

  at issue“争论中的”;dormant volcano“休眠火山”,即“死火山”;worship“崇拜,尊敬”;piko在夏威夷本地语言中代表“大海的浪花”,并引申为“阳光”、“生命”、“健康”等含义;heaven“天堂,天空”;telescope“望远镜”;be rested in“坐落于”;the Pacific Ocean“太平洋”;rise above“克服,不受...的影响”;the bulk of“大部分”;dense atmosphere“稠密大气”;obtain“获得”;image“图像”;unsurpassed“无与伦比的”;clarity“清晰度”。

  Opposition to telescopes on Mauna Kea is nothing new. A small but vocal group of Hawaiians and environmentalists have long viewed their presence as disrespect far sacred land and a painful reminder of the occupation of what was once a sovereign nation.

  opposition to“反对”;vocal“直言不讳的,激烈地表达意见的”;view... as...“视为”;presence“存在”;disrespect“不敬”;sacred“神圣的”;painful“痛苦的”;reminder“提醒”;occupation“占领”;sovereign“有主权的”,sovereign nation“主权国家”。

  以上就是文都教育考研英语老师为大家梳理的2017年Text 2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。
