考研人數(shù)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(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。

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）

If you look hard enough, you’ll find that many of the products we use every day – chewing gums, skin moisturizers, disinfecting wipes, air fresheners, water purifiers, health snacks, teeth whiteners, fabric softeners, vitamins – are results of manufactured habits. A century ago, few people regularly brushed their teeth multiple times a day. Today, because of shrewd advertising and public health campaigns, many Americans habitually give their pearly whites a cavity-preventing scrub twice a day, often with Colgate, Crest or one of the other brands.

短文翻譯

如果你觀察得足夠仔細,你會發(fā)現(xiàn)我們每天使用的許多產(chǎn)品都是“制造習慣”的產(chǎn)物,比如口香糖、潤膚乳、消毒濕巾、空氣清新劑、凈水器、健康零食、牙齒美白劑、織物柔軟劑、維生素等。一個世紀以前,很少有人每天有規(guī)律地刷好幾次牙。今天,由于精明的廣告宣傳和公共衛(wèi)生運動,許多美國人習慣性地每天刷兩次他們像珍珠一樣白的牙齒以防止齲齒,他們通常用的就是高露潔、佳潔士或某個其他品牌。

真題練習

*一定要做題哦

32. Bottled water, chewing gum and skin moisturizers are mentioned in Paragraph 5 so as to______.

[A] reveal their impact on people’s habits

[B] show the urgent need of daily necessities

[C] indicate their effect on people’s buying power

[D]manifest the significant role of good habits

題目解析

32.【解析】本段屬于典型的舉例段落，根據(jù)例證題的解答思路，本題答案應該在上段尋找。閱讀上段信息得知后兩句同樣在舉例子，所以本題目的最終定位應該是第四段的首句：If you look hard enough, you’ll find that many of the products we use every day?are results of manufactured habits，由此得知“許多產(chǎn)品的使用都是被制造出的習慣”，因此舉諸多產(chǎn)品為例目的就是闡述“人們很多習慣的改變”，所以 A 項為正確答案。  B 項中的 urgent need  在文中沒有體現(xiàn)，C 項中的 buying power  在文中也沒有體現(xiàn)，此兩項屬無中生有。D 項中的 good habits  顯然是錯誤的標志，作者只是客觀闡述產(chǎn)品對人們習慣的影響，沒有評論這些習慣的好壞。
