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）

A few decades ago, many people didn’t drink water outside of a meal. Then beverage companies started bottling the production of far-off springs, and now office workers unthinkingly sip bottled water all day long. Chewing gum, once bought primarily by adolescent boys, is now featured in commercials as a breath freshener and teeth cleanser for use after a meal. Skin moisturizers are advertised as part of morning beauty rituals, slipped in between hair brushing and putting on makeup.  

短文翻譯

幾十年前,許多人不會在吃飯時間外喝水。后來飲料公司開始將遙遠地區的泉水裝入瓶中,如今辦公室工作人員整天都不假思索地喝瓶裝水。口香糖曾經主要由青春期男孩購買,現在在商業廣告中被定位為餐后使用的口氣清新劑和牙齒清潔劑。潤膚乳被宣傳為早晨美容程序的一部分,不知不覺成為梳頭和化妝之間的一個步驟。

真題練習

*一定要做題哦

33. Which of the following does NOT belong to products that help create people’s habits?

[A] Tide.

[B] Crest.

[C] Colgate.

[D] Unilever.

題目解析

33.【解析】由題干中“products that help create people’s habits”可定位到第六段“...Tide, Crest, and other products... Creating positive habits is a huge part of improving our consumers’ lives”可知，Tide, Crest and other products  可以幫助顧客養成良好的習慣，而 Unilever 雖然文中有提，但它是公司名稱，并不是產品名稱。所以 D 項為正確選項。
