考研

　　“吾尝终日而思矣，不如须臾之所学也;吾尝跂而望矣，不如登高之博见也。”与其盲目憧憬未来，不如赶紧行动起来。文都考研英语老师继续为2018考研同学们梳理历年考研英语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2010年考研英语真题阅读Text 1，这篇文章主要探讨了报刊文艺评论范围和严肃性的衰退。

　　Unfortunately, these critics are virtually forgotten. Neville Cardus, who wrote for the Manchester Guardian from 1917 until shortly before his death in 1975, is now known solely as a writer of essays on the game of cricket. During his lifetime, though, he was also one of England’s foremost classical-music critics, a stylist so widely admired that his Autobiography (1947) became a best-seller. He was knighted in 1967, the first music critic to be so honored. Yet only one of his books is now in print, and his vast body of writings on music is unknown save to specialists.

　　unfortunately“不幸地”;virtually“事实上”;接下来举例论证，NC这个人就是实际上已经被遗忘的评论家之一;shortly before“在...以前不久”;be known as“作为...而为人所知”;solely“仅仅”;essay“随笔”;cricket“板球”，不认识无所谓，知道是一种game“运动”即可;foremost“最重要的”;classical music“古典音乐”;stylist“文体学家”;admire“钦佩，赞美”;autobiography“自传”;best-seller“畅销书”;knight“授以爵位”;the first music critic to be so honored“首位获得如此殊荣的音乐评论家”;in print“正在发售的”;vast body of“大量的”;save“除...之外”。

　　Is there any chance that Cardus’s criticism will enjoy a revival? The prospect seems remote. Journalistic tastes had changed long before his death, and postmodern readers have little use for the richly upholstered Vicwardian prose in which he specialized. Moreover, the amateur tradition in music criticism has been in headlong retreat.

　　首句为问句，这种情况，通常问题是段落中心，阅读的目的是寻找问题的答案。chance“可能性”;enjoy a revival“复兴，重新流行”;prospect“前途”;remote“遥远的”;taste“品味”;long before“在...以前很久”;postmodern“后现代的”;have little use for可以理解为“不需要”;richly upholstered Vicwardian prose“辞藻华丽的维多利亚-爱德华时期的散文”;specialize in“专门研究”;amateur“业余的”;be in headlong retreat可以理解为“迅速衰退”。

　　以上就是文都考研英语老师为大家梳理的2010年考研英语真题阅读Text 1后两段的要点。能力的提升不可能一蹴而就。“操千曲而后晓声，观千剑而后识器。”各位同学，平时一定注重积累，循序渐进，在量变的基础上实现质变。结果固然重要，但是过程同样重要。从某种程度上来说，什么样的过程带来什么样的结果。
