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)
Another nationwide concern is whether public funds from other agencies are going into construction in fire-prone districts. As Moritz puts it, how often are federal dollars building homes that are likely to be lost to a wildfire?
“It’s already a huge problem from a public expenditure perspective for the whole country,” he says. “We need to take a magnifying glass to that. Like, ‘Wait a minute is this OK?’ Do we want instead to redirect those funds to concentrate on lower-hazard parts of the landscape?”
Such a view would require a corresponding shift in the way US society today views fire, researchers say.

另一个全国关注的问题是其它部门的公共积金是否会用于易受火灾影响地区的建设。正如莫里兹所说,联邦政府房屋建设资金有多少几率会损失在一场森林火灾之中?
“从全国公共开支的角度来看,它已经成为一个重大的问题,”他说道。“我们需要带上放大镜来看待此事。例如,等一等,这样做是不是可以?我们是不是要把那些资金改投到土地风险更低的地方?”
研究者们说,这种看法将要求当今美国社会适时的改变看待火灾的方式。

题目解析
37.【解析】本题目为具体细节题。根据题干的关键词a magnifying glass和大写字母Moritz定位到第四段第二句,目的就是最后一句。本句提到“to redirect those funds”,重新规划这些资金,本段首句也提及a huge problem from...public expenditure。正确答案D的guarantee safer spending是对这两句的完全概括,讨论公共基金如何更好花费的问题。干扰项A提到fund,但未说raise more,添加无关内容;选项B与原文刚好相反,不是avoid避免;选项C是对原文lower-hazard parts of the landscape的偷换概念。
