2022年考研人數(shù)逐年增加，競爭之激烈使得我們不得不加急復(fù)習(xí)的日程。眾所周知，閱讀理解占據(jù)了考研英語二100分試卷的一半分值，而考研英語閱讀文章大多來自英美國家的主流報刊雜志，所以如果能在日常就多多閱讀這些文章，對以后讀懂文章做對題目來說會大有裨益。但是對大多數(shù)備考的同學(xué)來說，剛開始投入復(fù)習(xí)，就去讀考試文章難度的新聞報刊，也是不現(xiàn)實、并且不符合循序漸進的學(xué)習(xí)規(guī)律的，所以我們會在每次推送中，給大家給出兩篇短文，一篇是初階水平（大致在初高中水平）；一篇是高階水平（四六級到考研水平）；同學(xué)們可以根據(jù)自己當(dāng)前的情況，選擇其中一篇進行學(xué)習(xí)。
學(xué)習(xí)步驟如下：
1.不看漢語譯文自己看一遍短文做理解
2.看漢語譯文比對自己理解的意思與之出入
3.強化記憶重點單詞（以記憶其漢語意思為主）

高階文段
Much like other central banks, the ECB wants to offer consumers digital tender that is as safe as physical cash. Unlike bank deposits, a claim on central-bank reserves carries no credit risk. Digital-currency transactions could be settled instantly on the central bank's ledger, rather than using the pipes of card networks and banks. That could provide a back-up system in the event that outages or cyber-attacks cause private payment channels to fail.
短文翻譯
歐洲央行在很大程度上和其他央行一樣，希望向消費者提供和現(xiàn)金一樣安全的數(shù)字貨幣。對央行儲備的擁有權(quán)與銀行存款不同，它不存在信用風(fēng)險。數(shù)字貨幣交易可以通過央行分類帳即時結(jié)算，無需使用信用卡網(wǎng)絡(luò)和銀行渠道。當(dāng)出現(xiàn)因停電或者網(wǎng)絡(luò)攻擊而導(dǎo)致私營支付渠道不能正常運行時，它可以作為一個后備系統(tǒng)。
