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。
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)
ust 23 per cent of the fruit and vegetables consumed in the UK are currently home-grown(自产的), so even with the most extreme measures we could meet only 30 per cent of our fresh produce needs. That is before we look for the space to grow the grains(谷物), sugars, seeds and oils that provide us with the vast bulk of(大量的) our current calorie intake(摄入).
短文翻译
目前,英国消费的水果和蔬菜中只有23%是本国种植的,因此,即使采取最极端的措施,我们也只能满足30%的新鲜农产品需求。而这是在我们还没有寻找种植谷物、糖类、种子和油类作物的土地的情况下,而我们目前摄入的大部分热量都来自这些物质。

题目解析
29.【解析】由题干信息可直接定位至最后一段,“Just 23 per cent of the fruit and vegetables consumed in the UK are currently home-grown, so even with the most extreme measures we could meet only 30 per cent of our fresh produce needs.”(目前,英国消费的水果和蔬菜中只有23%是本国种植的,因此即使采取最极端的措施,我们也只能满足我们新鲜农产品需求的30%),由此可知,British people【C】rely largely on imports for fresh produce(新鲜农产品主要依靠进口)。
【A】项:他们正在努力种植新的谷物品种,无中生有;
【B】项:正在寻找有效的方法来减少热量摄入,无中生有。
【D】项:水果消费量稳步上升,无中生有。
30.【解析】态度题。作者对于英国自给自足的态度是_______。通过第29题我们可以看出,作者对于英国自给自足的态度是十分不乐观的(即使采取最极端的措施,我们也只能满足我们新鲜农产品需求的30%),
所以选择负面情感态度的词【D】 doubtful(怀疑的)。
A. defensive(保护的);
B. tolerant(包含的)
C. optimistic(乐观的)不符合文中情感色彩。
