2022年考研人數逐年增加,競爭之激烈使得我們不得不加急復習的日程。眾所周知,閱讀理解占據了考研英語二100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。但是對大多數備考的同學來說,剛開始投入復習,就去讀考試文章難度的新聞報刊,也是不現實、并且不符合循序漸進的學習規律的,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);同學們可以根據自己當前的情況,選擇其中一篇進行學習。
學習步驟如下:
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)
初階文段
The landscape is rendered less easily burnable. Even in the event of a fire, fewer trees are consumed.
The need for such planning is increasingly urgent. Already, since 2010, drought and insects have killed over 100 million trees in California, most of them in 2016 alone, and wildfires have burned hundreds of thousands of acres.
California plans to treat 35,000 acres of forest a year by 2020, and 60,000 by 2030- financed from the proceeds of the state’s emissions- permit auctions.
短文翻譯
這種景觀的易燃性會降低。即使發生火災,被燒毀的樹木也更少。
對這類計劃的需求日益迫切。自2010年以來,干旱和昆蟲已經導致加州1億多棵樹木死亡,其中2016年一年內死亡的樹木占據了大多數;此外野火也燒毀了數十萬英畝的森林。
加州計劃到2020年,每年治理3.5萬英畝森林;到2030年,每年治理6萬英畝森林——所需資金來自該州排放許可拍賣的收益。

文段 II
State governments are well accustomed to managing forests, but traditionally they’ve focused on wildlife, watersheds and opportunities for recreation.
Only recently have they come to see the vital part forests will have to play in storing carbon. California’s plan, which is expected to be finalized by the government next year, should serve as a model.
短文翻譯
各州政府對于森林管理已經很有經驗,但他們歷來都把關注點放在野生動物、分水嶺和娛樂機會上。
直到最近,他們才意識到森林將在碳儲存中發揮重要的作用。加州的計劃有望在明年由州長最終敲定,這一計劃應成為一個典范。
