　　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 5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，帮助大家更加有效地复习。这篇文章主要探讨了创新的要素。供2018考研学子参考。

　　Discoveries in science and technology are thought by “untaught minds” to come in blinding flashes or as the result of dramatic accidents. Sir Alexander Fleming did not, as legend would have it, look at the mold (霉) on a piece of cheese and get the idea for penicillin there and then. He experimented with antibacterial substances for nine years before he made his discovery. Inventions and innovations almost always come out of laborious trial and error.

　　untaught“无知的，为受教育的”;blinding“令人炫目的”;flash“闪光，瞬间”;blinding flashes可以表示“灵光一闪”;as the result of“作为...的结果”;dramatic“激动人心的，戏剧性的”，dramatic changes“巨大变化，戏剧性的变革”;as legend would have it“像传说中的那样”，充当插入语，可以略过;a piece of cheese“一片奶酪”，a piece of cake则表示“轻而易举的事情”;penicillin生僻词汇，不认识无所谓，对于理解没什么影响;experiment with“用...做实验”;antibacterial“抗菌的”，anti-“反对，抵抗”，bacterial“细菌的”，当然不认识也无所谓，只要知道“他用了9年的时间才有所发现”就可以;laborious“勤劳的，艰苦的”;trial and error“反复试验”。

　　The point is that the players who score most are the ones who take most shots at the goal -- and so it goes with innovation in any field of activity. The prime difference between innovators and others is one of approach. Everybody gets ideas, but innovators work consciously on theirs, and they follow them through until they prove practicable or otherwise. What ordinary people see as fanciful abstractions, professional innovators see as solid possibilities.

　　point名词“要点，关键”;that引导表语从句，考试的时候，大家没有必要辨析从句的种类，只要能看懂就可以;两个who均引导定语从句，先行词分别是players和ones;go with“与...相配”，也就是“适用于”;field“领域;prime“主要的”，prime factor“根本性因素”，prime也可以表示“全盛时期”，in the prime of“在...的黄金时期”;work on“从事...”;consciously“自觉地，有意识地”，反义词unconsciously“不知不觉，无意识地”;follow through“坚持到底”;prove“证明”;practicable“可行的”;see... as...“视...为...”;fanciful“想象的，幻想的”;abstraction“抽象概念”;solid“可靠的”;possibility“可能性”;solid possibilities可以表示“有根据并可能实现的事情”。

　　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 5前两段的要点，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。
