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。

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）

文段一

Today many people find it difficult to trust their own opinion and seek balance by gaining objectivity from external sources. This way you devalue your opinion and show that you are incapable of managing your own life. When you are struggling to achieve something important you should believe in yourself and be sure that your decision is the best. You live in your skin, think your own thoughts, have your own values and make your own choices.

短文翻譯

如今，人們很難相信自己的看法，并想從外部資源客觀性中尋求平衡。這樣的話，你低估了自己，表明你不能掌控自己的生活。當你掙扎，想要成就一些事時，一定要相信自己，確信自己的決定是最明智的。過自己的，想自己的，有自己的價值觀，自己做決定。

文段 II

The decline in American manufacturing is a common refrain, particularly from Donald Trump. “We don't make anything anymore,” he told Fox News, while defending his own made-in-Mexico clothing line.

Without question, manufacturing has taken a significant hit during recent decades, and further trade deals raise questions about whether new shocks could hit manufacturing.

短文翻譯

美國制造業的衰落是老生常談，唐納德.特朗普的話最能說明這一點。他曾對《福克斯新聞》這么說，“我們什么都不造了。”但與此同時他為自己的墨西哥的制衣廠辯護。

毫無疑問，制造業在近幾十年遭遇重創，而新的貿易協議又引發了制造業會不會遭遇新打擊的問題。
