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 5，这篇文章主要讲了人们对待雄心壮志的虚伪表现。

　　If ambition is to be well regarded, the rewards of ambition -- wealth, distinction, control over one’s destiny -- must be deemed worthy of the sacrifices made on ambition’s behalf. If the tradition of ambition is to have vitality, it must be widely shared; and it especially must be highly regarded by people who are themselves admired, the educated not least among them.

　　ambition“雄心壮志”，形容词形式ambitious;reward“回报”;distinction可以表示“杰出，卓越”;control over“对...的控制”;destiny“命运”，be destined to do“注定做某事”;deem“认为”;make sacrifices“做出牺牲，付出代价”;on one’s behalf“为了...的利益”;vitality“生命力”;be widely shared“普遍认同”，it is widely shared that...“人们普遍认同”，it充当形式主语，真正的主语是that从句;especially表明分号后为主要内容;admire“钦佩，赞美”;be highly regarded by“得到...的高度重视”;not least“尤其”。

　　In an odd way, however, it is the educated who have claimed to have given up on ambition as an ideal. What is odd is that they have perhaps most benefited from ambition -- if not always their own then that of their parents and grandparents. There is heavy note of hypocrisy in this, a case of closing the barn door after the horses have escaped -- with the educated themselves riding on them.

　　however转折处，重点关注一下;odd“古怪的，异常的”;it is... who...为强调句型“正是受过教育的人...”;claim“声称”;give up on“放弃”;ideal“理想”;benefit from“受益于”，benefit的形容词形式beneficial，常见搭配be beneficial to“有益于”;破折号后补充说明，that指代ambition;heavy note of hypocrisy可以表示“浓厚的虚伪色彩”，hypocritical为形容词“虚伪的”，hypocrite“伪君子”。如果不认识hypocrisy这个词，可以根据其后case的具体内容推断：马逃跑之后把谷仓门关上——受过教育的人自己骑在马背上。如果看完这个例子之后，更加搞不懂，可以依据之前两句推断。

　　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 5第一段的要点。“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。
