计划说明
考研人数逐年增加,竞争之激烈使得我们不得不加急复习的日程。众所周知,阅读理解占据了考研英语二100分试卷的一半分值,而考研英语阅读文章大多来自英美国家的主流报刊杂志,所以如果能在日常就多多阅读这些文章,对以后读懂文章做对题目来说会大有裨益。但是对大多数备考的同学来说,刚开始投入复习,就去读考试文章难度的新闻报刊,也是不现实、并且不符合循序渐进的学习规律的,所以我们会在每次推送中,给大家给出两篇短文,一篇是初阶水平(大致在初高中水平);一篇是高阶水平(四六级到考研水平);同学们可以根据自己当前的情况,选择其中一篇进行学习。
学习步骤如下:
1.不看汉语译文自己看一遍短文做理解
2.看汉语译文比对自己理解的意思与之出入
3.强化记忆重点单词(以记忆其汉语意思为主)
初阶文段
Ms.Bauer also said that several fast-food chains offer fruit-topped oatmeal and yogurt parfaits that make for satisfying and tasty snacks.
When in Rome,splurge strategically.
Trying the local cuisine, Ms. Bauer said, is a pleasurable part of any vacation. “You can and should let yourself enjoy one‘cheat’ food each day, but be selective and pick something that is unique to that destination,” she said.

高级文段
That could mean veal Milanese in Milan, a lobster roll in Maine, a chocolate croissant in France and pad thai in Thailand. Stick to a reasonable portion of whatever you choose, and savor every bite.
Watch those sips.
Drinks don’t fill you up, and many are packed with sugar and calories.
Ms. Bauer said that it’s best to skip sweetened iced teas and lemonades throughout the day — seltzer flavored with fruit is an appealing alternative. When it comes to alcohol, many cocktails, including margaritas, can easily top 500 calories. Drink wine or a light beer instead. Or try a lower-sugar mixed drink such as vodka with club soda and a splash of fruit juice or a gin and tonic.
短文翻译
这意味着米兰的米兰小牛肉、缅因州的龙虾卷、法国的巧克力羊角包和泰国的泰式炒河粉。不管选择吃什么,份量都要适中,要细细品味每一口。
注意入口的饮品。
饮料不能让你有饱腹感,而且不少饮品都饱含糖分和卡路里。
鲍尔说最好一整天都别喝加了糖的冰茶和柠檬水——果味气泡水是种颇具吸引力的替代之选。至于酒,包括玛格利塔在内的许多鸡尾酒很容易就会超过500卡路里。喝红酒或淡啤作为代替,或者试试糖分较低的调酒,比如伏特加配苏打水和一点果汁,或是金汤力酒。
