2015考研英語(yǔ)：閱讀找準(zhǔn)“標(biāo)桿詞”快速定位
考研英語(yǔ)閱讀文章一般在400～500字左右，如此短的文章中夾雜著生僻的單詞和疑難句，從而使得閱讀工作變得異常困難。那么在這其中，我們應(yīng)當(dāng)怎么做呢？ 在此考研教育網(wǎng)建議大家使用如下的方法：
1、掃讀文章，了解基本內(nèi)容、作者立場(chǎng)和文章結(jié)構(gòu)。一般而言，我們所要閱讀的內(nèi)容集中在文章首段、各段首尾句和轉(zhuǎn)折句處。
2、仔細(xì)讀題目，劃出“標(biāo)桿詞”——最獨(dú)特的詞組、數(shù)字或符號(hào)（如生詞、拼寫(xiě)較長(zhǎng)或很短的詞、大寫(xiě)的詞、斜體詞、百分比、年代或日期、貨幣代號(hào)等）。
3、掃視全文，一旦找到和題目相對(duì)應(yīng)的信息，立馬放慢速度，直到所讀意群表達(dá)意思與題目無(wú)關(guān)為止。
4、對(duì)比選項(xiàng)，選出最適合的答案。
5、在定位的同時(shí)，要結(jié)合自然段定位的原則輔助定位。
下面我們結(jié)合真題來(lái)進(jìn)行一下具體講解。
真題解析（2000年 Text1）
A history of long and effortless success can be a dreadful handicap， but， if properly handled， it may become a driving force. When the United States entered just such a glowing period after the end of the Second World War， it had a market eight times larger than any competitor， giving its industries unparalleled economies of scale. Its scientists were the world‘s best， its workers the most skilled. America and Americans were prosperous beyond the dreams of the Europeans and Asians whose economies the war had destroyed.
It was inevitable that this primacy should have narrowed as other countries grew richer. Just as inevitably， the retreat from predominance proved painful. By the mid1980s Americans had found themselves at a loss over their fading industrial competitiveness. Some huge American industries， such as consumer electronics， had shrunk or vanished in the face of foreign competition. By 1987 there was only one American television maker left， Zenith. （Now there is none： Zenith was bought by South Korea‘s LG Electronics in July.） Foreign made cars and textiles were sweeping into the domestic market. America’s machine-tool industry was on the ropes. For a while it looked as though the making of semiconductors， which America had invented and which sat at the heart of the new computer age， was going to be the next casualty.
All of this caused a crisis of confidence. Americans stopped taking prosperity for granted. They began to believe that their way of doing business was failing， and that their incomes would therefore shortly begin to fall as well. The mid-1980s brought one inquiry after another into the causes of America‘s industrial decline. Their sometimes sensational findings were filled with warnings about the growing competition from overseas.
How things have changed！ In 1995 the United States can look back on five years of solid growth while Japan has been struggling. Few Americans attribute this solely to such obvious causes as a devalued dollar or the turning of the business cycle. Self doubt has yielded to blind pride. “American industry has changed its structure， has gone on a diet， has learnt to be more quick witted，” according to Richard Cavanagh， executive dean of Harvard‘s Kennedy School of Government. “It makes me proud to be an American just to see how our businesses are improving their productivity，” says Stephen Moore of the Cato Institute， a think tank in Washington， DC. And William Sahlman of the Harvard Business School believes that people will look back on this period as “a golden age of business management in the United States.”

第一步，掃讀文章，確定文章的寫(xiě)作對(duì)象——美國(guó)的工商業(yè)在二戰(zhàn)后由興旺到衰退再到復(fù)興的過(guò)程。
第二步，仔細(xì)審題，確定關(guān)鍵字。（見(jiàn)題目）
51題，詢(xún)問(wèn)的是二戰(zhàn)后美國(guó)達(dá)到了主導(dǎo)地位，原因是什么？根據(jù)二戰(zhàn)的信息，我們定位在第一段。使用排除法，容易排出ABD選項(xiàng)，A選項(xiàng)中 painstaking錯(cuò)誤，因?yàn)槲恼率钦f(shuō)的effortless，是一個(gè)“不費(fèi)力的過(guò)程”，而此處是說(shuō)“痛苦”顯然錯(cuò)誤。B選項(xiàng)比較對(duì)象發(fā)生了錯(cuò)誤，文章是說(shuō)“和任何的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)者相比，大八倍”，而選項(xiàng)是說(shuō)“和自己以前相比，大八倍”。D選項(xiàng)中unparalleled，原文不是修飾workforce，而此處卻修飾workforce，故而錯(cuò)誤。由于考研四選一，故而可以直接選C.C選項(xiàng)是文章第一段最后一句的同義詮釋。
52題，20 世紀(jì)80年代，美國(guó)在世界經(jīng)濟(jì)方面喪失了主導(dǎo)地位，主要表現(xiàn)在下面哪一事實(shí)。A選項(xiàng)，重疊原文不難發(fā)現(xiàn)，文中說(shuō)，電視制造業(yè)已經(jīng)消失。但是選項(xiàng)卻說(shuō)“退回了國(guó)內(nèi)市場(chǎng)”。B選項(xiàng)，文中中“半導(dǎo)體業(yè)將會(huì)成為下一個(gè)受害對(duì)象”。選項(xiàng)卻說(shuō)，已經(jīng)被國(guó)外市場(chǎng)所吞并。C選項(xiàng)，望文生義，原文中的on the ropes是岌岌可危，但是選項(xiàng)卻當(dāng)成了自殺性行為，故而錯(cuò)誤，排除法，D選項(xiàng)正確。
53題，通過(guò)使用自然段定位法，不難定位在第三段。推理題型。根據(jù)凱程小技巧，我們正確答案定位于BD之間，D選項(xiàng)在文中首句出現(xiàn)，但是偷換了概念，首句使用的詞語(yǔ)是long and effortless 但是被替換成了long，故而錯(cuò)誤，所以答案就是B了。
54題，作者將90年代美國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)的復(fù)蘇，歸因于——。這里再次使用凱程小技巧（眾人皆醉我獨(dú)醒）將答案定位于Few Americans attribute this solely to such obvious causes as a devalued dollar or the turning of the business cycle.重疊選項(xiàng)，僅有A是符合題意的。
通過(guò)上述的分析，同學(xué)們不難發(fā)現(xiàn)，考研的文章有時(shí)也僅僅是“紙老虎”。只要我們從現(xiàn)在開(kāi)始堅(jiān)定地鍛煉基本功，扎扎實(shí)實(shí)地掌握考研必備的知識(shí)點(diǎn)，沖擊高分就不再是夢(mèng)想。
