　　文都考研英语老师为大家梳理一下1994年考研英语真题阅读Text 3的要点，涉及相对重要的词汇和短语的含义和用法以及典型长难句的分析。这篇文章主要介绍了特殊儿童教育。供2018考研学子参考。

　　Exceptional children are different in some significant way from others of the same age. For these children to develop to their full adult potential, their education must be adapted to those differences.

　　exceptional children“特殊儿童，异常儿童”;be different from“与...不同”，反义词组be similar to“与...相似”;significant“值得注意的”;potential“潜力，潜能”，也可以充当形容词“潜在的”，potential danger“潜在的危险”;adapt...to...使...适应...。

　　In that mirror we can see the strengths, the weaknesses, the hopes, the prejudices, and the central values of the culture itself. The great interest in exceptional children shown in public education over the past three decades indicates the strong feeling in our society that all citizens, whatever their special conditions, deserve the opportunity to fully develop their capabilities.

　　strength“长处”;weakness“短处”;prejudice“偏见”;central value“核心价值”;indicate“表明”，也可以表示“暗示”;over the past three decades“在过去的三十年里”;that引导同位语从句，补充说明抽象名词feeling;deserve“应得”;capability“能力”，也可以表示“容量”。这部分内容应用于写作的可能性很大。

　　Although the phrase was used by this country’s founders to denote equality before the law, it has also been interpreted to mean equality of opportunity. That concept implies educational opportunity for all children -- the right of each child to receive help in learning to the limits of his or her capacity, whether that capacity be small or great.

　　although引导让步状语从句，可以略过;denote“表示”;interpret“解释，诠释”，也可以表示“口译”;equality of opportunity“机会平等”;concept“概念”;imply“意味，暗示”;to the limits of“达到...的极限”;capacity=capability“能力，容量”;whether that capacity be small or great为条件状语从句，“无论能力大小”。

　　Recent court decisions have confirmed the right of all children -- disabled or not -- to an appropriate education, and have ordered that public schools take the necessary steps to provide that education. In response, schools are modifying their programs, adapting instruction to children who are exceptional, to those who cannot profit substantially from regular programs.

　　decisions“决议”;confrim“确认，批准”;disabled“残疾的，有缺陷的”，the disabled“残疾人”;appropriate“恰当的，合适的”;order“命令”，其后宾语从句take前省略了should;take the necessary steps to do“采取必要的措施做某事”，这个短语往往应用于写作;in response“作为回应”;profit from“得益于”;substantially副词“充分地”，不认识无所谓，对于理解没什么影响。

　　以上就是文都考研英语老师为大家梳理的1994年考研英语真题阅读Text 3的要点，希望对各位同学的复习有所帮助。对于阅读中出现的相对重要的内容，建议大家完成之后，定期回顾，循序渐进，直到彻底掌握为止。
