  各位同学,考研复习的基础阶段就快结束了。你们的基础打好了吗?如果没有的话,赶快行动起来哦!科都教育考研英语老师继续为大家梳理考研英语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2001年Text 5,这篇文章主要探讨了人们生活态度的转变。

  When I decided to quit my full time employment it never occurred to me that I might become a part of a new international trend. A lateral move that hurt my pride and blocked my professional progress prompted me to abandon my relatively high profile career although, in the manner of a disgraced government minister, I covered my exit by claiming “I wanted to spend more time with my family”.

  decide to do“决定做某事”;quit“离开,放弃”,即“辞职”;employment“职业”;it充当形式主语,真正的主语是that引导的从句;it occurs to sb. that“某人突然想到”;trend“趋势”;lateral move“平级调动”;block“限制”;prompt“促进”;abandon“放弃”;high profile career“引人注目的职业”;in the matter of“以...方式”;disgraced“不光彩的,遭贬谪的”;cover“掩饰,掩盖”;exit“离开,离职”;claim“声称”。

  Curiously, some two-and-a-half years and two novels later, my experiment in what the Americans term “downshifting” has turned my tired excuse into an absolute reality. I have been transformed from a passionate advocate of the philosophy of “having it all,” preached by..., into a woman who is happy to settle for a bit of everything.

  term“把...叫做”;downshifting“放慢生活节奏”;turn into“转变成”;tired“厌倦的”;excuse“借口”;transform from... into...“从...转变成...”;passionate“热烈的,激昂的”;advocate“提倡者”;philosophy“哲学”;have it all“拥有一切”;preach“鼓吹,反复灌输”;settle“定居,安置”;a bit of everything“什么都有一点,杂七杂八”。

  I have discovered, as perhaps Kelsey will after her much-publicized resignation from the editorship of She after a build-up of stress, that abandoning the doctrine of “juggling your life,” and making the alternative move into “downshifting” brings with it far greater rewards than financial success and social status. Nothing could persuade me to return to the kind of life Kelsey used to advocate and I once enjoyed:...

  will后省略了discover;much-publicized“公开的,被媒体广泛报道的”;resignation“辞职”;editorship“编辑职位”;a build-up of stress“逐渐增加的压力”;doctrine“信条”;juggle one’s life可以表示“为生活忙碌”;making the alternative move into “downshifting”“转而过一种放慢节奏的生活”;financial success“经济上的成功”;social status“社会地位”;persuade“说服”,名词形式persuasion;used to do“过去常常”。

  以上就是科都教育考研英语老师为大家梳理的2001年考研英语真题阅读Text 5前三段的要点。“不积跬步无以至千里,不积小流无以成江海。”各位同学复习的时候,一定踏踏实实打好基础,就好像树木在土壤里扎根一样,经历这个漫长甚至痛苦的过程之后,成长起来就相对容易了。
