为了提升阅读能力，一定要将方法与实践相结合。历年真题是最宝贵的复习资料。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2018-Text 1（二），这篇文章主要探讨了自动化对中产阶级的影响及其可能的解决途径。
The first step, as Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee argue in The Second Machine Age, should be rethinking education and job training. Curriculums -- from grammar school to college -- should evolve to focus less on memorizing facts and more on creativity and complex communication. Vocational schools should do a better job of fostering problem-solving skills and helping students work alongside robots. Online education can supplement the traditional kind. It could make extra training and instruction affordable. Professionals trying to acquire new skills will be able to do so without going into debt.
job training“工作培训”；curriculum“课程”；grammar school“文法学校”；evolve to do“发展”；focus on“关注”；vocational school“职业学校”；foster“培养”；problem-solving skills“解决问题的能力”；work alongside“和...一起工作”；supplement“补充”；extra training and instruction“特殊训练和指导”；affordable“负担得起的”；professional“专业人员”；acquire“获取”；go into debt“负债”。
The challenge of coping with automation underlines the need for the U.S. to revive its fading business dynamism: Starting new companies must be made easier. In previous eras of drastic technological change, entrepreneurs smoothed the transition by dreaming up ways to combine labor and machines. The best uses of 3D printers and virtual reality haven’t been invented yet. The U.S. needs the new companies that will invent them.
cope with“处理”；underline“强调”；revive“复兴，苏醒”；fading business dynamism“衰退的企业活力”；start a company“创办公司”；in previous eras of drastic technological change“在以前的剧烈技术变革时代”；entrepreneur“企业家”；smooth“消除”；transition“过渡”；dream up“凭空设想出”；combine“结合”；virtual reality“虚拟现实”。
Finally, because automation threatens to widen the gap between capital income and labor income, taxes and the safety net will have to be rethought. Taxes on low-wage labor need to be cut, and wage subsidies such as the earned income tax credit should be expanded: This would boost incomes, encourage work, reward companies for job creation, and reduce inequality.
threaten“威胁”，threaten to do可以理解为“预示着要做某事”；widen the gap“拓宽差距”；capital income“资本收入”；low-wage labor“低工资劳工”；subsidy“补助金”；earned income tax credit“劳动收入所得税的抵免”。
Technology will improve society in ways big and small over the next few years, yet this will be little comfort to those who find their lives and careers upended by automation.
be little comfort to“对...来说几乎没有什么安慰”。
Destroying the machines that are coming for our jobs would be nuts. But policies to help workers adapt will be indispensable.
nut“难题”。
