　　“得真题者得天下”，真题的价值是任何模拟题都无法企及的。接触真题应该从基础阶段开始。文都考研英语老师为2018考研解读考研英语历年真题阅读理解中涉及的要点，包括词汇、短语和长难句。接下来看一下1996年考研英语真题阅读Text 5，这篇文章主要揭示了创造论的欺骗性。

　　Rumor has it that more than 20 books on creationism/evolution are in the publisher’s pipelines. A few have already appeared. The goal of all will be to try to explain to a confused and often unenlightened citizenry that there are not two equally valid scientific theories for the origin and evolution of universe and life. Cosmology, geology, and biology have provided a consistent, unified, and constantly improving account of what happened. “Scientific” creationism... is based on religion, not science. Virtually all scientists and the majority of non-fundamentalist religious leaders have come to regard “scientific” creationism as bad science and bad religion.

　　rumor has it that“据说”;creationism/evolution“创造论/ 进化论”;in the pipeline“在准备中，待处理”，in the publisher’s pipelines可以表示“即将出版”;confused“困惑的”;unenlightened“无知的，未受启迪的”;valid“有效的，有依据的”;consistent“一致的”;unified“统一的”;improving形容词“有启发性的，有教育意义的”;be based on“依据，以...为基础”;non-fundamentalist“非原教旨主义的”，不认识无所谓，和scientists并列，说明含义相近;regard... as...“把...视为...”。

　　The first four chapters of Kitcher’s book give a very brief introduction to evolution... He describes their programmes and tactics, and, for those unfamiliar with the ways of creationists, the extent of their deception and distortion may come as an unpleasant surprise. When their basic motivation is religious, one might have expected more Christian behavior.

　　give a very brief introduction to译为汉语时，可以把名词转化为动词，即“简单地介绍了”;tactic“策略”;be unfamiliar with“对...不熟悉”;deception“欺骗”，动词deceive;distortion“扭曲”;motivation“动机”;expect“期待”，名词expectation。

　　Kitcher is a philosopher, and this may account, in part, for the clarity and effectiveness of his arguments. The non-specialist will be able to obtain at least a notion of the sorts of data and argument that support evolutionary theory... On the dust jacket of this fine book, Stephen Jay Gould says: “This book stands for reason itself.” And so it does -- and all would be well were reason the only judge in the creationism/evolution debate.

　　in part“在某种程度上”;clarity“清晰度”;effectiveness“有效性”;argument可以表示“论断，观点”;obtain“获得”，名词obtainment;notion“概念”;dust jacket“书皮，包书纸”;stand for“代表，支持”;and all would be well were reason the only judge in the creationism/evolution debate虚拟条件句，if省略，were, should, had提前，构成倒装。

　　以上就是文都考研英语老师为大家梳理的1996年考研英语真题阅读Text 5的要点。学而不思则罔，思而不学则殆。大家平时一定注重学习与思考相结合。不要急于参考答案解析，一定要有独立思考的过程，善于发现和解决问题，从而培养和提升个人能力。
