考研

　　各位同学，考研英语复习进度如何?阅读部分不可忽视哦。现在基础阶段，可以从早年考研英语真题入手，以精读的方式完成阅读部分。文都考研英语老师为2018考研学子梳理一下历年真题阅读文章中涉及的要点，包括词汇、短语、长难句以及简单的阅读方法。接下来看一下2000年考研英语真题阅读Text 4，这篇文章主要讲了日本社会传统道德观的日渐衰退。

　　While often praised by foreigners for its emphasis on the basics, Japanese education tends to stress test taking and mechanical learning over creativity and self-expression. “Those things that do not show up in the test scores ... are completely ignored,”... “Frustration against this kind of thing leads kids to drop out and run wild.”

　　while“尽管”，引导让步状语从句;be praised for“因为...而受到称赞”;emphasis on“对...的强调”;我们应该重点关注的是主句部分;stress A over B“重视A胜过B”;段首句表明作者认为日本教育在重视测试和机械学习的同时，也应该注重创造力和自我表达能力的培养;show up“呈现”;frustration“挫折”;lead to“导致”;drop out“退学”;run wild“失去控制”。

　　Last year Japan experienced 2,125 incidents of school violence, including 929 assaults on teachers. Amid the outcry, many conservative leaders are seeking a return to the prewar emphasis on moral education... raised eyebrows ... occupation authorities ... had weakened the “Japanese morality of respect for parents.”

　　experience“经历”，在此可以引申为“发生”;incidents of school violence“校园暴力事件”;including介词“包括”;assault“攻击，袭击”;outcry“强烈抗议”;conservative“保守的”;seek a return to“寻求回归到”;raise eyebrows字面含义“扬起眉毛”，在这里可以表示“引起不满”;occupation authorities“占领当局”;morality“道德，品行”。

　　But that may have more to do with Japanese life-styles... With economic growth has come centralization; ... live in cities where community and the extended family have been abandoned in favor of isolated, two-generation households. Urban Japanese have long endured lengthy commutes... and crowded living conditions, ..., the discomfort is beginning to tell...

　　that指代上文“日本人尊重父母的品行”;have more to do with“与...有更大的关系”;with economic growth介词短语位于句首，句子部分倒装;extended family“大家庭”;abandon“放弃”;in favor of“为了支持”;isolated“孤立的”;endure“忍耐”;lengthy“漫长的”;commute“通勤”;crowded living conditions“拥挤的居住条件”;tell可以表示“显现”。

　　以上就是文都考研英语老师为大家梳理的2000年考研英语真题阅读Text 4后两段的要点。“应知学问难，在乎点滴勤。”阅读能力的提升在于日常的积累，大家平时一定多加练习，总结方法和规律，应用于实践。行动起来吧!在实践中提升自己，为考研以及将来的生活做好准备。
