2017考研英語(yǔ):這篇模擬閱讀也模出了新高度(三)

　　考研英語(yǔ)，一篇完整的閱讀文章，我們要學(xué)會(huì)如何高效閱讀，在閱讀的基礎(chǔ)上再進(jìn)行題目的分析。今天文都考研英語(yǔ)輔導(dǎo)靖老師接著給大家就這篇模擬閱讀進(jìn)行解析，希望2017考研學(xué)子能夠借鑒學(xué)習(xí)。

　　24. What do you think the author believes about happiness and unhappiness? [A] One feels unhappy owing to his miserable origin. [B] They are independent but existing concurrently [C] One feels happy by participating in more activities. [D] They are actions and attitudes taken by human beings.題干可以看出問(wèn)的是關(guān)于主題happiness與unhappiness的內(nèi)容，從我們之前讀出的主題可知二者幾乎沒(méi)有關(guān)系，因此B是正確的，而AC都是從原因方面闡述的，unhappiness是由于遺傳，happiness是由于自己努力的結(jié)果，D選項(xiàng)本身就是錯(cuò)誤的。該題目注意細(xì)節(jié)定位以及主題的關(guān)聯(lián)。

　　25. The sentence “that's that” (Para. 5) probably means: Some people are born to be sad [A] and the situation cannot be altered. [B] and happiness remains inaccessible. [C] but they don't think much about it. [D] but they remain unconscious of it.該句考察代詞的指點(diǎn)內(nèi)容，我們需要找到前一句，This doesn’t mean, however, that some people are born to be sad and that’s that. 第一個(gè)that指代的前一句話，但是后邊的這個(gè)涉及到的不僅僅是代詞層面了，要結(jié)合句子語(yǔ)義進(jìn)行判斷了，可以字面翻譯為就那樣了,天生悲觀的就是不快樂(lè)了，其實(shí)按意思來(lái)看，選B也是可以的，但錯(cuò)在unhappiness與happiness并不是此消彼長(zhǎng)的關(guān)系，這是主題要首先清楚。還有同學(xué)認(rèn)為選的是D，本身就是錯(cuò)誤的，比如我是個(gè)天生悲觀的人，但我有可能就意識(shí)到這一點(diǎn)了，A與D的關(guān)鍵點(diǎn)在于一個(gè)是客觀的the situation,一個(gè)是命題者假象的文中的they，一帶有主觀，就可能是錯(cuò)誤答案了。另外，and多用于承接或并列，沒(méi)有真正意義上的轉(zhuǎn)折，但要視上下文有轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，比如I like apples and my father likes orange.But是表示明顯轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系的連詞。

　　該篇文章涉及到的重點(diǎn)單詞有以下：plain common sense, distinct, vice versa, clue, not any=no, back up, disposition , predisposition, run in, heritage, subjective, formula, More...than..., external, internal, painstaking efforts, inaccessible, concurrently，有不熟悉的可以自己查閱。該篇文章涉及到的重點(diǎn)句子有以下：句一：People might think that the higher a person’s level of unhappiness, the lower their level of happiness and vice versa. 句二：The recognition that feelings of happiness and unhappiness can co-exist much like love and hate in a close relationship may offer valuable clues on how to lead a happier life.句三：That advice is backed up by an extraordinary series of studies which indicate that a genetic predisposition for unhappiness may run in certain families.全文邏輯結(jié)構(gòu)：總(1/2段提出關(guān)系)--分(3/4/5段解釋原因及做法)

　　對(duì)于每一篇文章，我們按以下步驟來(lái)--做題、詞匯、句子、翻譯、邏輯結(jié)構(gòu)--句間&全文、再做題、技巧總結(jié)，對(duì)于閱讀研究做到以上步驟，并且多多練習(xí)，定能考試順利，金榜題名。

　　附文章:

　　It’s plain common sense—the more happiness you feel, the less unhappiness you experience. It’s plain common sense, but it’s not true. Recent research reveals that happiness and unhappiness are not really two sides of the same emotion. They are two distinct feelings that, coexisting, rise and fall independently.

　　People might think that the higher a person’s level of unhappiness, the lower their level of happiness and vice versa. But when researchers measure people’s average levels of happiness and unhappiness, they often find little relationship between the two.

　　The recognition that feelings of happiness and unhappiness can co-exist much like love and hate in a close relationship may offer valuable clues on how to lead a happier life. It suggests, for example, that changing or avoiding things that make you miserable may well make you less miserable, but probably won’t make you any happier. That advice is backed up by an extraordinary series of studies which indicate that a genetic predisposition for unhappiness may run in certain families. On the other hand, researchers have found happiness doesn’t appear to be anyone’s heritage. The capacity for joy is a talent you develop largely for yourself.

　　Psychologists have settled on a working definition of the feeling—happiness is a sense of subjective well-being. They have also begun to find out who’s happy, who isn’t and why. To date, the research hasn’t found a simple formula for a happy life, but it has discovered some of the actions and attitudes that seem to bring people closer to that most desired of feelings.

　　Why is unhappiness less influenced by environment? When we are happy, we are more responsive to people and keep up connections better than when we are feeling sad. This doesn’t mean, however, that some people are born to be sad and that’s that. Genes may predispose one to unhappiness, but disposition can be influenced by personal choice. You can increase your happiness through your own actions.
