考研

　　2018考研英语复习已经进入了攻坚阶段，这一阶段首要的的任务就是考研英语阅读真题的精析。考生需要将每一道题目的类型，定位方法，解题思路及选项特点分析清楚，尤其是对于一些难点题目。因为考研英语的学习是一项精细化的工程，必须吃透文章和题目。今天我们要分析的题目来自于2006年考研英语真题阅读Text1。文都考研老师将定位范围和题目对应给出，方便考生清楚的理解。

　　21. The word “homogenizing” (Line 1, Paragraph 1) most probably means ________.

　　[A] identifying

　　[B] associating

　　[C] assimilating

　　[D] monopolizing

　　定位解析：该题是词汇题，猜测词汇含义首先定位该词出现的定位句：In spite of “endless talk of difference,” American society is an amazing machine for homogenizing people. 尽管存在对差异的无休止的讨论，美国社会却是一个惊人的同化人的机器。句子内部有转折关系，所以可以根据已知前半部分的含义去推测后句的词汇homogenizing，前者讲美国社会充满了差异化，那么转折后就应该是反义：相同，同质化。所以答案选择[C] assimilating同化。其他三个选项分别是[A] identifying识别，[B] associating联系，[D] monopolizing垄断。

　　22. According to the author, the department stores of the 19th century ________.

　　[A] played a role in the spread of popular culture

　　[B] became intimate shops for common consumers

　　[C] satisfied the needs of a knowledgeable elite

　　[D] owed its emergence to the culture of consumption

　　定位分析：通过名词和时间词找到定位句：People are absorbed into “a culture of consumption” launched by the 19th-century department stores that offered “vast arrays of goods in an elegant atmosphere. 人们被19世纪的百货商店所发起的大众文化所吸引，这种商店在优雅的环境中提供很多系列的商品。从该句得出信息，百货商店引发了一种大众文化。而D选项却说百货商店owed its emergence to the culture of consumption的出现要归因于大众文化，意思是现有大众文化再有百货商店。这个逻辑与原文正好相反。答案继续往后找：Instead of intimate shops catering to a knowledgeable elite,” these were stores “anyone could enter, regardless of class or background. 这些当店不是迎合知识精英的私密场所，而是任何人都可以进入的，不管你是什么阶级或背景。[C] satisfied the needs of a knowledgeable elite满足了知识精英的需求，与原文冲突。[B] became intimate shops for common consumers成为了普通消费者的私密商店与原文相反。所以只有答案[A] played a role in the spread of popular culture在传播流行文化中起到了重要作用。正好对应第一个定位句，他引起了一种消费文化。概念对应是没有问题的。

　　对于比较难的题目，希望同学们仔细理解原文的含义。再次强调：题目的类型，定位方法，解题思路及选项特点分析清楚。做题时一定要严格的按照定位的原则，找到问题的出处，再根据定位句核心信息匹配正确选项。通过这种方式的训练，相信同学们会对解题过程把握的更加清楚。
