(40 points)Text 1A group of labour MPs, among them Yvette Cooper, are bringing in the new year with a call to institute a UK "town of culture" award. The proposal is that it should sit alongside the existing city of culture title, which was held by Hull in 2017 and has been awarded to Coventry for Zozl. Cooper and her colleagues argue that the success of the crown for Hull, where it brought in220m of investment and an avalache of arts, out not to be confined to cities.Britain' town, it is true are not prevented from applying, but they generally lack the resources to put together a bit to beat their bigger competitions. A town of culture award could, it is argued, become an annual event, attracting funding and creating jobs.Some might see the proposal as a boo by prize for the fact that Britain is no longer be able to apply for the much more prestigious title of European capital of culture, a sought-after award bagged by Glasgow in 1990 and Livorpool in 2008. "A cynic might speculate that the UK is on the verge of disappearing into an endless fever of self-celebration in its desperation to reinvent itself for the post-Brexit world: after town of culture, who knows that will follow-village of culture? Suburb of culture? Hamlet of culture?It is also wise to recall that such titles are not a cure-all. A badly run "year of culture"washes in and out of a place like the tide, bringing prominence for a spell but leaving no lasting benefits to the community. The really successful holders of such titles are those that do a great deal more than fill hotel bedrooms and bring in high-profile arts events and good press for a year. They transform the aspirations of the people who live there; they nudge the self-image of the city into a bolder and more optimistic light.It is hard to get right, and requires a remarkable degree of vision, as well as cooperation between city authorities, the private sector, community groups and cultural organisations. But it can be done: Glasgow's year as European capital of culture can certainly be seen as one of complex series of factors that have turned the city into the power of art, music and theatre that it remains today.A "town of culture" could be not just about the arts but about honouring a town's peculiarities-helping sustain its high street, supporting local facilities and above all celebrating its people and turn it into action.21. Cooper and her colleagues argue that a "town of culture" award could [A] consolidate the town-city ties in Britain.[B] promote cooperation among Britain's towns.[C] increase the economic strength of Britain's towns.[D] focus Britain's limited resources on cultural events.22. According to Paragraph 2, the proposal might be regarded by some as [A] a sensible compromise.[B] a self-deceiving attempt.[C] an eye-cotching bonus.[D] an inaccessible target.23. The author suggests that a title holder is successful only if it [A] endeavours to maintain its image.[B] meets the aspirations of its people.[C] brings its local arts to prominence.[D] commits to its long-term growth.24. Glasgow is mentioned in Paragraph 3 to present [A] a contrasting case.[B] a supporting example.[C]a background story.[D] a related topic.25. What is the author's attitude towards the proposal?[A] Skeptical[B] Objective[C] Favourable[D] Critical答案（21-25）21.D focus Britain's limited resources on cultural events.22.B a self-deceiving attempt.23.D commits to its long-term growth.24.B a supporting example.25.C Favourable.Text2Scientific publishing has long been a licence to print money, Scientists need journals in which to publish their research, so they will supply the articles without monetary reward. Other scientists perform the specialised work of peer review also for free, because it is a central element in the acquisition of status and the proction of scientific knowledge.With the content of papers secured for free, the publisher needs only find a market for its journal. Until this century, university libraries were not very price sensitive. Scientific publishers routinely report profit margins approaching 40% on their operations, at a time when the rest of the publishing instry is in an existential crisis.The Dutch giant Elsevier, which claims to publish 25% of the scientific papers proced in the world, made profits of more than f 900m last year, while UK universities alone spent more than f 210m in 2016 to enable researchers to access their own publicly funded research;both figures seem to rise unstoppably despite increasingly desperate efforts to change them.The most drastic, and thoroughly illegal, reaction has been the emergence of Sci-Hub, a kind of global photocopier for scientific papers, set up in 2012, which now claims to offer access to every pay walled article published since 2015. The success of Sci-Hub, which relies on researchers passing on copies they have themselves legally accessed, shows the legal ecosystem has lost legitimacy among its users and must be transformed so that it works for all participants.In Britain the move towards open access publishing has been driven by funding bodies.In some ways it has been very successful. More than half of all British scientific research is now published under open access terms; either freely available from the moment of publication,or pay walled for a year or more so that the publishers can make a profit before being placed on general release.Yet the new system has not worked out any cheaper for the universities. Publishers have responded to the demand that they make their proct free to readers by charging their writers fees to cover the costs of preparing an article. These range from around500 to $5,000.A report last year pointed out that the costs both of subscriptions and of these "article preparation costs" had been steadily rising at a rate above inflation.In some ways the scientific publishing model resembles the economy of the social internet:labour is provided free in exchange for the hope of status, while huge profits are made by a few big firms who run the market places. In both cases, we need a rebalancing of power.26. Scientific publishing is seen as "a licence to print money" partly because [A] its funding has enjoyed a steady increase.[B] its marketing strategy has been successful.[C] its payment for peer review is reced.[D] its content acquisition costs nothing.!27. According to Paragraphs 2 and 3, scientific publishers Elsevier have [A] thrived mainly on university libraries.[B] gone through an existential crisis.[C] revived the publishing instry.[D] financed researchers generously.28. How does the author feel about the success of Sci-Hub? [A] Relieved.[B] Puzzled.[C] Concerned.[D] Encouraged.29. It can be learned from Paragraphs 5 and 6 that open access terms [A] allow publishers some room to make money.[B] render publishing much easier for scientists.[C] rece the cost of publication substantially.[D] free universities from financial burdens.30. Which of the following characterises the scientific publishing model?[A] Trial subscription is offered.[B] Labour triumphs over status.[C]Costs are well controlled.[D] The few feed on the many.答案（26-30）26.D its content acquisition costs nothing.27.A thrived mainly on university libraries.28.D Encouraged.29.A allow publishers some room to make money.30.D The few feed on the many.Text 3Progressives often support diversity mandates as a path to equality and a way to level the playing field. But all too often such policies are an insincere form of virtue-signaling that benefits only the most privileged and does little to help average people.A pair of bills sponsored by Massachusetts state Senator Jason Lewis and House Speaker Pro Tempore Patricia Haddad, to ensure "gender parity" on boards and commissions, provide a case in point.Haddad and Lewis are concerned that more than half the state-government board are lessthan40 percent female. In order to ensure that elite women have more such opportunities, they have proposed imposing government quotas. If the bills become law, state boards and commissions will be required to set aside 50 percent of board seats for women by 2022.The bills are similar to a measure recently adopted in Califomia, which last year became the first state to require gender quotas for private companies. In signing the measure, California Governor Jerry Brown admitted that the law, which expressly classifies people on the basis of sex, is probably unconstitutional.The US Supreme Court frowns on sex based classifications unless they are designed to address an "important" policy interest, Because the California law applies to all boards, even where there is no history of prior discrimination, courts are likely to rule that the law violates the constitutional guarantee of "equal protection".But are such government mandates even necessary? Female participation on corporate boards may not currently mirror the percentage of women in the general population, but so what?The number of women on corporate boards has been steadily increasing without government interference. According to a study by Catalyst, between 2010 and 2015 the share of women on the boards of global corporations increased by 54 percent.Requiring companies to make gender the primary qualification for board membership will inevitably lead to less experienced private sector boards. That is exactly what happened when Norway adopted a nationwide corporate gender quota.Writing in The New Republic, Alice Lee notes that increasing the number of opportunities for board membership without increasing the pool of qualified women to serve on such boards has led to a "golden skirt "phenomenon, where the same elite women scoop up multiple seats on a variety of boards.Next time somebody pushes corporate quotas as a way to promote gender equity,remember that such policies are largely self-serving measures that make their sponsors feelgood but do little to help average women.31.The author believes that the bills sponsored by Lewis and Haddad will [A] help little to rece gender bias.[B] pose a threat to the state government.[C] raise women's position in politics.[D] greatly broaden career options.32. Which of the following is true of the Califormia measure?[A] It has irritated private business owners.[B] It is welcomed by the Supreme Court.[C] It may go against the Constitution.[D] It will settle the prior controversies.33. The author mentions the study by Catalyst to illustrate [A] the harm from arbitrary board decision. [B]the importance of constitutional guarantees.[C] the pressure on women in global corporations.[D] the needlessness of government interventions.34. Norway's adoption of a nationwide corporate gender quota has led to [A] the underestimation of elite women's role[B] the objection to female participation on boards.[C]the entry of unqualified candidates into the board.[D] the growing tension between labor and management.35. Which of the following can be inferred from the text?[A] Women's need in employment should be considered.[B] Feasibility, should be a prime concern in policy making.[C] Everyone should try hard to promote social justice.[D] Major social issues should be the focus of legislation.答案（31-35）31.A help little to rece gender bias.32.C It may go against the Constitution.33.D the needlessness of government interventions.34.C the entry of unqualified candidates into the board.35.B Feasibility should be a prime concern in policymaking.Text4 :Last Thursday, the French Senate passed a digital services tax, which would impose an entirely new tax on large multinationals that provide digital services to consumers or users in France. Digital services include everything from providing a platform for selling goods and services online to targeting advertising based on user data, and the tax applies to gross revenue from such services. Many French politicians and media outlets have referred to this as a"GAFA tax," meaning that it is designed to apply primarily to companies such as Google,Apple, Facebook and Amazon-in other words, multinational tech companies based in the United States.The digital services tax now awaits the signature of President Emmanuel Macron, who has expressed support for the measure, and it could go into effect within the next few weeks.But it has already sparked significant controversy, with the Unite Sates trade representative opening an investigation into whether the tax discriminates against American companies,which in turn could lead to trade sanctions against France.The French tax is not just a unilateral move by one country in need of revenue. Instead,the digital services tax is part of a much larger trend, with countries over the past few years proposing or putting in place an alphabet soup of new international tax provisions. These have included Britain's DPT (diverted profits tax).Australia's MAAL (multinational antiavoidance, law), and India's SEP (significant economic presence) test, to name but a few. At the same time, the European Union. Spain,Britain and several other countries have all seriously contemplated digital services taxes.These unilateral developments differ in their specifics, but they are all designed to tax multinationals on income and revenue that countries believe they should have a right to tax,even if international tax rules do not grant them that right. In other words, they all share a view that the international tax system has failed to keep up with the current economy.In response to these many unilateral measures, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) is currently working with 131 countries to reach aconsensus by the end of 2020 on an international solution. Both France and the United States are involved in the organization's work, but France's digital services tax and the American response raise questions about what the future holds for the international tax system.France's planned tax is a clear warning: Unless a broad consensus can be reached on reforming the international tax system, other nations are likely to follow suit, and American companies will face a cascade of different taxes from dozens of nations that will prove burdensome and costly.36.The French Senate has passed a bill to [A] regulate digital services platforms.[B] protect French companies interests.[C] impose a levy on tech multinationals.[D] curb the influence of advertising.37. It can be learned from Paragraph 2 that the digital services tax [A] may trigger countermeasures against France.[B] is apt to arouse criticism at home and abroad.[C] aims to ease international trade tensions.[D] will prompt the tech giants to quit France.38. The countries adopting the unilateral measures share the opinion that [A] redistribution of tech giants' revenue must be ensured.[B] the current international tax system needs upgrading.[C] tech multinationals' monopoly should be prevented.[D] all countries ought to enjoy equal taxing rights.39. It can be learned from Para 5 that the OECO's current work [A] is being resisted by US companies.[B] needs to be readjusted immediately.[C] is faced with uncertain prospects.[D] needs to in involve more countries.40. Which of the following might be the best title for this text?[A] France Is Confronted with Trade Sanctions[B] France leads the charge on Digital Tax[C] France Says "NO" to Tech Multinationals[D] France Demands a Role in the Digital Economy答案（36-40）36.C impose alevy on tech multinationals.37.A may trigger countermeasures against France.38.B the current international tax system needs upgrading39.C is faced with uncertain prospects.40.B France leads the charge on Digital TaxPart B Directions:In the following text, some sentences have been removed.

Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET. (10 points)[A] Eye fix actions are brief[B] Too much eye contact is instinctively felt to be rude[C] Eye contact can be a friendly social signal[D] Personality can affect how a person reacts to eye contact[E] Biological factors behind eye contact are being investigated [F] Most people are not comfortable holding eye contact with strangers[G] Eye contact can also be aggressive.In a social situation, eye contact with another person can show that you are paying attention in a friendly way, But it can also be antagonistic such as when a political candidate turns toward their competitor ring a debate and makes eye contact that signals hostility.Here's what hard science reveals about eye contact: We know that a typical infant will instinctively gaze into its mother's eyes, and she will look back. This mutual gaze is a major part of the attachment between mother and child. In althood, looking someone else in a pleasant way can be a complimentary sign of paying attention. It can catch someone's attention in a crowded room, "Eye contact and smile" can signal availability and confidence, a common-sense notion supported in studies by psychologist Monica Moore.42. Neuroscientist Bonnie Augeung found that the hormone oxytocin increased the amount of eye contact from men toward the interviewer ring a brief interview when the direction of their gaze was recorded. This was also found in high- functioning men with some autistic spectrum symptoms, who may tend to avoid eye contact. Specific brain regions that respond ring direct gaze are being explored by other researches, using advanced methods of brain scanning.43. With the use of eye-tracking technology, Julia Minson of the Harvard Kennedy School of Government concluded that eye contact can signal very different kinds of messages,depending on the situation. While eye contact may be a sign of connection or trust in friendly situations, it's more likely to be associated with dominance or intimidation in adversarial situations. "Whether you' re a politician or a parent, it might be helpful to keep in mind that trying to maintain eye contact may backfire if you' re trying to convince someone who has a different set of beliefs than you," said Minson.44. When we look at a face or a picture, our eyes pause on one spot at a time, often on the eyes or mouth. These pauses typically occur at about three per second, and the eyes then jump to another spot, until several important points in the image. are registered like a series of snapshots. How the whole image is then assembled and perceived is still a mystery although it is the subject of current research.45. In people who score high in a test of neuroticism, a personality dimension associated with self-consciousness and anxiety, eye contact triggered more activity associated with avoidance,according to the Finnish researcher Jari Hietanen and colleagues "Our findings indicate that people do not only feel different when they are the centre of attention but that their brain reactions also differ." A more direct finding is that people who scored high for negative emotions like anxiety looked at others for shorter periods of time and reported more comfortable feelings when others did not look directly at them.答案（41-45）41.

(10points)Following the explosion of creativity in Florence ring the 14h century known as the Renaissance, the modern world saw a departure from what it had once known. It turned from God and the authority of the Roman Catholic Church and instead favoured a more humanistic approach to being. Renaissance ideas had spread throughout Europe well into the 17h century,with the arts and sciences flourishing extraordinarily among those with a more logical disposition. (46) with the Church's teachings and ways of thinking eclipsed by the Renaissance,the gap between the Medieval and modern periods had been bridged leading to new and unexplored itellectual territories.During the Renaissance, the great minds of Nicolaus Copernicus, Johannes Kepler and Galileo Galilei demonstrated the power of scientific study and discovery. (47) Before each of their revelations many thinkers at the time had sustained more ancient ways of thinking.including the geo-centric view that the Earth was a the centre of our universe. Copernicus theorized in 1543 that all of the planets that we knew of revolved not around the Earth, but the Sun, a system that was later upheld by Galileo at his own expense. Offering up such a theory ring a time of high tension between scientific and religious minds was branded as heresy and any such heretics that continued to spread these lies were to be punished by imprisonment or even death.(48) Despite attempts by the Church to suppress. this new generation of logicians and rationalists, more explanations for how the universe functioned were being made at a rate that the people could no longer ignore.It was with these great revelations that a new kind of philosophy founded in reason was born.The Church's long- standing dogma was losing the great battle for truth to rationalists and scientists. This very fact embodied the new ways of thinking that swept through Europe ring most of 17h century. (49) As many took on the ty of trying to integrate reasoning and scientific philosophies into the world, the Renaissance was over and it was time for a new era-the Age of Reason.The 17h and I8h centuries were times of radical change and curiosity, Scientific method,rectionism and the questioning of Church ideals was to be encouraged, as were ideas of liberty, tolerance and progress. (50) Such actions to seek knowledge and to understand what information we already knew were captured by the Latin phrase' sapere aude' or dare to know',after Immanuel Kant used it in his essay" An Answer to the Question: What is Enlightenment?".It was the purpose and responsibility of great minds to go forth and seek out the truth, which they believed to be founded in knowledge.答案（46-50）46.随着教会的教义和思维方式在文艺复兴时期黯然失色，中世纪与现代之间的鸿沟得以弥合，从而出现了新的及尚未开发的知识领域。47.在每个真理揭示之前，当时的许多思想家都采用了更古老的思维方式，仍旧沿用以前的思维模式，其中包括认为地球是宇宙中心的地球中心说。48.尽管教会试图镇压这-代逻辑学家和理性主义者，但人们对宇宙如何运转的解释却越来越多，并且以-种不容忽视的速度在增加。49.当许多人承担起将理性科学的哲学融入世界的责任时，文艺复兴时代已经结束，并且开启了一个新的时代。50.此类寻求知识和了解已知信息的行为被拉丁语概括为：“sapere aude"即"敢于求知”作文Section ll WritingPart A51.

Nevertheless, the boy in the right picture is sitting in front of the desk and saying that he will not finish the homework until the last minute.Undoubtedly, the symbolic implication of the pictures is to show us that importance should be attached to the formation of good habits, especially the good habit of time management. On the one hand, efficient time management is critical to personal development. As the old saying goes,“Time is money," and in the fast-paced modern life, it seems that we always have a lot of things to do and we are very busy. In the face of such a situation, we have to realize that efficiency holdsthe key to saving time and time management skills hold the key to personal success. On the other hand, good time management habits play a vital role in the development of the whole society. There is no doubt that, to a large extent, social progress is closely related to the efforts of each indivial. If we can develop the good habit of time management, we are much more likely to improve efficiency and have a better performance in the learning and working process, which is anintegral part of social advances and prosperity.From what has been mentioned above, we can come to the conclusion that the sense of efficient time management skills is of equal importance in personal and social progress.Therefore,we ought to take advantage of the phenomenon to enlighten the public and the press is expected to take a lead in advertising the value of developing good time management habits.

昨天2020考研英语考试结束后，很多学生都在讨论今年考研英语的难度怎样，尤其是考研英语阅读理解很多学生说自己当时在考场上没有看明白，前两篇自己基本上都是蒙的，后两篇基本上还可以读懂，为此为了验证考生关于2020考研英语阅读理解的难度，老师我今天亲自做了2020考研英语阅读理解，在做完以后，感觉今年考研英语其实难度并不大，考察学生逻辑思维推理能力和阅读能力，生僻词汇也不多，阅读理解的单词和词汇完全在考研词汇范围以内。2020考研英语一阅读理解试题分析，难度不大，试题考察全面。第一篇阅读理解在四篇阅读理解当中属于难度最大的，但是难度最大并不代表不能做对，第一篇阅读理解词汇会比较生疏，但是考生大致应该可以读明白，是关于“town of culture”为主题的阅读，试题第21-25中，第21题、第24题、第25题属于常规难度题型，试题设置的四个选项迷惑性并不大，尤其是考察坐着态度的第25题基本上属于送分题，即使文章没看懂，但是大概看一遍也可以了解作者的态度。第23题和第24题属于拉开成绩的试题，在原文中难以找到答案，需要考生结合文章语句进行逻辑推理才能判断。考生做对3个试题的难度不大。第二篇阅读理解是关于科学和论文出版方向的阅读理解，文章生僻词汇量小，第26-30题的选项设置没有第一篇的难度大，整篇文章共5段，考生阅读起来难度不大。第26题考察原因，在第一段就可以得出正确答案。第27题属于推理性试题，结合文章的第二段和第三段就可以得出答案，难度并不大。第28题考察作者的态度，也属于送分题。第29题属于细节题，需要考生在第段落中寻找答案，考生如果心理状态紧张就很难做对。第30题属于寻找特征题，需要从整篇文章来分析，难度不大。个人认为考生应该做对4-5个题。第三篇阅读理解是关于美国女性平等法案的文章，文章第一段阅读生僻词汇多，但是以后的段落阅读难度并不大，第31题考察作者观点或者态度，基本上第一段找出答案，第一段最后一句话意思其实已经变大了作者的态度。第32题考察法案的哪一个选项是正确的，我们从第4段已经可以知道unconsitision意思是不符合宪法的意思，已经可以得出答案。第33题在第7段中可以得出正确答案，这类举例题的答案依据就在上一句。第34题难度比其他题难度大一些，第35题需要从整篇文章阅读以后才能得出答案，结合文章意思可以得出答案。个人认为应该做对4个题，难度不大。第四篇阅读理解是关于法国征收数字税的文章，文章阅读难度不大，在四篇阅读理解中应该是最容易的一篇。第36题考察法国征收数字税的目的，从第一段第一句就可以得出答案。第37题需要从第二段中推理，但是难度也不大，可以看到征收数字税会导致美国的反应可以得出答案。第38题考生容易做错，但是属于考生平时练习经常做过的试题，从第四段最后一句可以得出答案。第39题需要从第五段中寻找答案，但是文章中并没有直接给出答案，但是可以看到经济组织的当前工作充满不确定性。第40题考察文章主题，需要选择正确文章题目，难度不大，考生只要紧紧抓住文章主题数字税就可以得出正确答案。个人认为这篇阅读理解正常情况下考生应该做对5个。以上就是2020考研英语一阅读理解四篇文章的试题分析，可以说难度并不大，并没有考生考完以后所说的难度难，考生只要平时多做题就会得高分，四篇阅读理解无论是长难句，还是选项的迷惑性都在历年考研真题中属于中等水平试题考察的做题技巧都很全面，难度并没有超过以往的难度。

我们都听说过这样一句话，“得阅读者得天下”，而在考研英语里大家也必须清楚“得阅读者得考研英语”。其实很多同学们也知道阅读理解的重要性，但是在复习方面总是不得章法，达不到复习效果。考研英语阅读理解是一个考查考生们综合语言能力的题型，也就是去提升阅读理解得分并不是记几个单词的问题。今天就给大家讲讲如何提高阅读理解分数。阅读理解的提分需要有考生们在词汇，语法和技巧上都有一定的储备。但由于现在大家的英语基础还比较薄弱，还没有系统的学习过解题技巧。我们当前的复习目标还是停留在英语语言基础上。这个阶段各位考生们有了一定词汇基础，可以借助考研试题去提高阅读理解能力。但是要注意，是提高能力，而不是做题。有的同学们在复习的时候只求快，一天我能做多少篇阅读理解，其实这样是没有太大意义的。建议各位考生利用2010年前的阅读进行积累学习，2010后的阅读理解务必留到最后学习完阅读技巧后再来练习。大家考英语一的同学也可以拿英语二的阅读文章进行学习，考英语二的同学可以拿英语一的阅读文章进行学习。具体步骤建议大家使用2010年前的考研试题进行精读，具体怎么做呢？词汇：对于考研试题阅读中的每一个单词都要求背会，要全部熟悉掌握，可以制定周计划，每周定目标要精读4篇考研试题文章。把从考研试题中积累下来的单词进行反复记忆和学习。阅读中的长难句：每篇文章可以摘除5-10个长难句进行翻译，对照中文译文进行修改吸收，总结出来里面的单词和短语以及句型，进行积累和背诵。阅读：每一篇文章每一段落看完之后，可以自己写一个总结，总结出来每一段的中心思想。如果可以，同学们可以用英文撰写，同时锻炼来自己的写作能力。背诵：每周节选出一片考研试题范文进行背诵。写作：一周练习写一篇作文，要求使用在本周的学习过程中，在考研试题中摘取出来的单词/短语和句型进行练习。写完后可以自己进行修改，或者同学互相批改。

2020考研英语看什么书？关于这个问题，我有以下三点要说一下。【太阳城官网】 一、制定目标先给自己定一个复习目标，让自己有个大概的复习方向。大目标：我当时是根据自己其他科的情况制定的考研目标，如果总分想上400的话，英语最低也要达到70分。小目标：英语单科总分70 ，每一题也根据自己的情况制定了目标，6（完形）+32（阅读）+6（新题型）+6（翻译）+20（大小作文）=70分二、选择资料当时是从一位大神那儿学来的，现在把它分享出来，也是从群众来到群众中去了！◎基础薄弱必备3件套——太阳城三件套单词：《非常词汇》基础薄弱就用它，660个句子就能搞定2000+核心词汇，语境记忆，像看美剧一样记单词，记的又快又牢~真题：英一《考研真相》/英二《考研圣经》一词一句讲解真题，重点词汇和每个句子都有详细讲解，适合基础薄弱的同学。作文：《写作160篇》（英二写作宝中宝）先通过词句段篇帮你补基础，再通过三步作文法帮你拔高作文，专门针对基础薄弱的~配套网课：张国静团队网课，非常受欢迎，许多人都在用。公众号 闪过英语 中就可以试听。◎基础好，考名校必备三件套单词:闪过英语《考研词汇闪过》适合时间紧、想要快速记单词的同学。按照重要程度将词汇划分为必考词+基础词+偶考词+超纲词，方便记忆，省时省力~真题：尖刀侠《考研英语真题倍速快解》总结出真题解题方法，可以直接套用解题模板，帮你提高做题速度和正确率。身边考研的同学都在用！作文：尖刀侠《考研英语高分作文36法则》用36个高分写作方法，帮你突破作文句式，教你写出高分靓句。不会与他人雷同！！（英一英二通用）配套网课：同上三、时间安排备考开始—6月底：背单词、刷单词，复习长难句7月份—8月底：做真题，啃真题解析，熟悉真题套路，整理真题中的生词短语9月份—10月底：一遍一遍刷真题，总结做题技巧11月—考试前：突破作文附：单词怎么背？背到什么程度呢？1.考研英语单词非常多，多到每天不睡觉的背都背不完，那么怎么办？建议先背必考词和高频词，抓主要矛盾。解决完重点之后根据自己的时间去背其他的单词。可以参考闪过英语《考研词汇闪过》考点明确，直接按照重点背单词皆可以了。2.考研大纲词汇5500个，最起码要过一遍，混个脸熟。那么怎么分配呢？除了必考词和高频词之外，把其他单词都合理分配到每一天，你每天就可以利用吃饭排队的时候，睡觉前，去图书馆的路上这些零碎时间看一看背一背，不用掌握用法，认识就行。关于2020考研英语看什么书，现在明白了吧，当下先复习公共课吧。

先说点题外话，简单介绍下我本科的英语学习情况，四级考了三次才过，次次裸考，没有背过单词。从大二过了4级，我还是没有体会到记单词的重要性，不记英语单词就算了，我英语课都没怎么上过- -到了大三纠结了一学期到底考不考研，最后到了寒假我才决定考研，院校都还没确定，就先买了本词汇书记着。暑假在家记英语单词，有可能就是因为很久不看，几乎从0开始，对单词的印象特别浅，背了就忘。大三下学期开学之后，我改变了下背单词的方法。接下来我会详细说下，考研怎么准备英语？（有些是看论坛里大神的经验我觉得不错的）背单词：我建议基础不好前一个月先别做真题了，因为在单词和句子的基础非常薄弱的情况下，做真题的效果是非常差的。刚开始复习英语的第一个月，背单词的策略是大量接触。复习英语第1个月记单词方法：每天都花近3个小时过单词，以我用的闪过英语《考研词汇闪过》为例，必考词1 list大概是85左右的单词量，每天两个list的单词。1个单词用1分钟基本就需要2个半小时，边背边把单词的汉语意思写在本子上，然后还有半小时干嘛呢，默写。默写就是加深你对单词的印象，我建议必考词是一定要默写的！！基础差，多默写几遍，我就不信记不住！然后把自己默写错的，单独挑出来总结。第二天就不用再默写前一天的了，看一遍就行了。主要就是默写总结的+新一天背诵的单词。依次类推，一个月就这样复习必考词。第一个月结束后，你单词就过了两遍了，之后背单词的时间也就没这么多了。之后几个月的记单词方法：单词是每天都要记的，只不过是单词完整的记忆时间会随之减少。在之后的单词记忆中我建议把熟词僻义也要带上，除了核心必考词，熟词僻义也是考研词汇考察的点。还是每天过单词，然后过了默写。不过之后的单词记忆就要提高速度了，会的就直接过，也不用在本子上记汉语意思了。总之：单词一定要多过几遍，每天都要接触，不要细致的过了一遍后之后都不怎么看了。考研阅读存在着大量的长难句，所以打好长长难句基础也很重要，我看的就是张国静团队的长难句网课，每天1个半小时，一个月学完一个课程。刷真题：（阅读为主）（以英一的真题为例）97-04年的真题：难度较低，适合在一个月用来练手。05-12年的真题：这6套可以在英语单词和语法基础都提高了之后，用来认真做的！现在出题有点反套路了，所以做阅读真题的时候主要就是练思路（读选项—找定位—比对选项和定位句—排除干扰项—联系主旨选出正确项）13-18年的真题：近期的真题无疑是重点，在这一阶段，三天一套真题的速度应该是差不多的，可以留出两套最后练手。做真题阅读的方法是先做一遍，然后进行单词和句子的分析，标注不会的单词，弄懂没有看明白的句子。（把自己觉得不熟、好的句子都可以总结在本子上）之后对选项进行解析，主要是比对各选项和文章中目标句之间的差异，理解出题人设陷阱的点，这些参考书（推荐《考研真相》）上都会有所涉及。在做过三套真题后，一定要进行一次总结，反思不足，再继续做下去。真题中作文、翻译、完形（最后三个题型重要程度：作文>翻译>完形）我主要就说说作文，作文是一定要复习的，基础差建议你早点开始背常用的词汇、句式、段落、模版、整理一些自己需要用的句子，作文并不是太能拉分。翻译和完形，我觉得是相对不用下功夫去专门研究的了，因为这两个题型主要就是考察你英语整体水平的，水平提高了自然就提高了。而且阅读是40分（新题型10分其实也算阅读），阅读分高了英语自然也不会差到哪去。参考资料我个人认为参考资料还是很重要的，之前看别的同学在用的资料跟风去买了本，发现里面的解析根本不适合我这种基础弱的。我总结了下我用的书，你可以参考下。基础薄弱专用——太阳城考研英语3件套《非常词汇》：在660个句子记住2000+核心词汇，比较容易理解。《考研真相》，一词一句把真题里的词汇、语法解析的很详细，基础薄弱专用。《写作160篇》（英二写作宝中宝）常用词汇、句型、模板，总结的很全，还有3大定律和黄金法则来提分的。基础好、考名校必用——尖刀侠3件套闪过英语《考研词汇闪过》适合时间紧，想快速背单词的，按照重要程度划分必考词+基础词+偶考词+超纲词，根据自己的情况，可优先背必考词。尖刀侠《考研英语真题倍速快解》总结4个题型的解题方法，可以直接套用，帮你提高做题速度和正确率。尖刀侠《考研英语高分作文36法则》36个高分作文句式突破的方法，把常规作文写成高分作文。这本书是学长学姐推荐给我的。张国静团队的网课：是今年比较受欢迎的网课，推荐的人还挺多的。2020考研怎么准备英语，今天就先说到这里了。

不知道考研的小伙伴是否知道考研英语阅读理解部分一直有固定的来源的，考研英语阅读题源都从哪里找，如何利用？今天文都网校就给你聊聊，希望能帮助到大家~考研英语阅读来源报刊：考研英语阅读理解A部分的四篇文章一般都是来自英美国家一些享有较高声誉的权威报刊杂志，如Newsweek(《新闻周刊》)，NewYorkTimes(《纽约时报》)，U.S.NewsandWorldReport(《美国新闻与世界报道》)，TheEconomist(《经济学家》)，Times(《时代周刊》)等等。考研英语阅读内容涉及的话题：文章内容既包罗万象又具有相当的时效性，大多涉及当年的热门话题，包括了社会科学、自然科学、人文科学等各个领域。其中，社会科学领域的题材囊括了经济、心理、教育、传播、家庭、人口、交通、环境、能源、法律、体育等各个方面，自然科学则包括了医学、生物、大气、地质、海洋、遗传、空间、信息、工程、农业等，而人文科学包括了语言学、哲学、文化、历史、艺术、文学评论、散文等。考研英语阅读题材类型：从题材上看，大纲要求考生能够顺利读懂四类文章，分别为议论文、说明文、记叙文和应用文。不过，考研阅读理解的文章大多为说明文或者议论文。针对这两类文章，我们应该有不同的阅读重点和策略。对于说明文来说，最重要的是抓住文章的说明对象、事实和数据；对于议论文来说，最重要的是总结作者的观点和结论、抓住作者的态度，以及作者的观点和态度与其他人的观点和态度之间的关系等等。由历年真题可见，社会科学是考研英语阅读的主要和重点选材，自然科学一直保持在1篇文章左右的分量，人文科学的重要性则有上升的趋势。考研英语阅读来源网站推荐：大家在准备考研的过程中，应该充分重视上述的一些英美报纸杂志，平时要多看这些刊物，尤其是其中的议论、评论、报道和分析文章等。现在在国内买到英美国家原版报刊杂志的过刊还是比较容易的。如果想掌握最新文章，可以登录这些刊物的官方网站去阅读，通常这些文章都是免费的，但有的需要交费订阅才可以，考生可以灵活把握。小编主要给大家推荐TheEconomist(《经济学家》)的网站，不仅因为TheEconomist是考研选材的重点刊物之一，同时，大家在上面可以免费阅读近一两年的印刷版文章，非常方便实用。如果大家有着广泛阅读的兴趣和习惯，能紧跟时代步伐、了解全球的重大事件、信息和资讯，就能够为考研阅读准备丰富厚实的背景材料，因而在阅读时可以充分利用自己的相关知识来帮助理解原文。各位考研人应特别重视加强对于美国文化背景知识的了解，因为美国报纸杂志以及关于美国的报道是近几年考研阅读文章选材的重点。如何用好阅读题源资料，小编建议从以下几点入手：1.考研阅读文章一般会选取包含中立话题，不容易引起争议的文章。主要是因为并不是所有来自题源期刊报纸的文章，都符合考研阅读篇章的风格。要求：文章要具有较强的逻辑性，包含一些对事物之间的关系进行推理分析，说明议论的信息。所以，大家在挑选题源文章进行阅读的时候，要避免一视同仁，平均发力，而要有所鉴别和挑选。同学们也可以请求老师帮忙，挑选一些和考研真题风格接近或一致的文章。2.不能因为题源文章的阅读而忽视了真题的分析和研究。有一些同学行动很快，把本阶段要求的考研真题做了一遍，还未对真题答题情况进行复盘和反省，也未对真题文章考点和题干选项出题方式进行仔细研究，就迫不及待的开始做题源文章。这样做，其实是丢了西瓜，捡了芝麻。题源文章和真题文章相比而言，永远只是个很好的补充学习材料，但是绝对不能取代真题的位置。3.在阅读题源文章的时候，要注意对文化背景的理解。由于文化差异，不少文章中所描述的事物，和中国人的思维方式有着比较大的差别。这样也会对考生心理造成干扰，增加阅读难度，降低选择正确率。所以，建议考生多留意一些语言之外的信息，逐步积累文化背景知识。总之，在选择阅读题源文章时，既要进行有针对性的挑选文章，也不能喧宾夺主影响真题的分析研究，还要利用题源文章进行文化背景的学习。这样才可以利用好题源文章，为最终的考试得分打下良好基础。

2020年考研英语结束后很多学生在感叹：今年英语试题太难了，考生们纷纷表示考研英语阅读理解难度难出新高度，新题型难度也比往年要大。但是我们客观理性的分析，从历年考研英语结束后考生们的反映来看，每年考生考完英语后都会有相似的反应，那就是每年考生都会觉得自己年份的英语试题难度大。这里面既有考生个人发挥的因素影响，也有眼光局限的问题。由于考生没有经历过多次考研，因此很难真正判断考研英语真题的难度如何。2020考研英语试题难度太大？考研英语国家线变化都有哪些规律？考研英语不管难度如何变化，作文、翻译、完形填空难度基本难度变化不大，其实考生感觉考研难度大的也仅仅是考研英语阅读理解而已，另外新题型很多学生觉得难，但是这部分题对考生分数影响有限，一方面是因为分值比较低，另一方面是因为即使题简单，考生也很少做全对，即使题变难了，考生也可能会做正确三个左右，因此新题型试题难度变化对考生最后成绩影响不大，反而是考研英语阅读理解难度对考生最后成绩影响比较大。因此尽管很多考生都在吐槽2020考研英语太难了，认为考研英语阅读理解难度比较大，比去年考研英语阅读理解难度高，但是客观理性地讲难度也没有高出太多，整体难度没有高出往年多少，只能说难度高了一些，但是并不能说太难，考生复习到位还是能够得出正确答案，考出理想的成绩。既然考研英语难度不是太大，那么考研英语国家线变化都有哪些规律呢？根据自己对考研的研究，认为总体上讲考研英语国家线变化有三个基本规律，一是考研英语国家线如果上涨或者下降，变化幅度大概在1-5分范围以内。从近10年考研英语国家线变化来看，基本上如果考研国家线上升最多也是提高5分。二是考研英语国家线很少连续几年一直提高，考虑到2019年考研英语国家线大部分专业已经提高，因此判断2020考研英语国家线会继续提高的可能性并不是很大，但是很可能会保持在2019年的水平。三是经管类专业和文学专业考研英语国家线一直为各个专业最高，理工科专业考研英语国家线比较低，即使上升也是在0分多一点，对于理工科学生难度不大，农学这些冷门专业考研英语国家线最低，考生压力最小。

考研英语历年来都是考生考研复习的重点，因其题型设置复杂，阅读理解长难句多而让众多考生头疼，考研英语从难度上来看实际上高于英语六级难度，因此考生在做题时会感觉比较困难，每年考研英语结束都会听到考生关于考研英语难度的吐槽，尤其是今年考研英语考试结束后，有许多考生都说今年考研英语难度特别大，那么2020考研英语是否难度史上最大？在此作为考研老师，根据自己对这几年考研英语试题的研究，认为2020考研英语难度与2019年考研英语难度持平，难度低于2018年考研英语难度，并不是难度史上最大。主要依据有三点：一是从考研英语阅读理解来看，这部分分值占40%分数，2020考研英语阅读理解试题中没有特别有争议的选项，各个选项之间的差异性比较大，考生不容易受到迷惑。在阅读理解中长难句也不多，考生阅读后很容易翻译出来，也没有太多超出考研大纲的考研英语单词，整体上讲考研英语阅读理解难度与2019年考研英语持平，因此2020考研英语难度并不是史上最大。二是从考研英语作文来看，考研英语分值占用分数30%，2020考研英语小作文没太大难度，甚至比2019考研英语作文难度还要低，考生不会感觉无处下手，考生只要把平时学习记住的英语句子和模板运用上就轻松得分。而英语大作文主题几乎是考生平时复习到的知识点，写作起来难度也不大，很容易把平时的一些作文模板套用上。综合来看，2020考研英语难度与过去几年的考研英语作文一样，延续了作文难度一般的出题风格，并不是难度史上最大。三是从考研英语其他题型来看，这部分分数大概有30分，分别是完形填空、新题型、翻译题，今年考研英语的完形填空虽然有一定的难度，难度比2019年考研英语难度略高，新题型在选项设置上要比2019年考研英语难度要高，翻译题难度没太大难度，难度与2019年考研英语翻译题难度持平。因此从上述三点来看，阅读理解难度与2019考研英语持平、作文难度要略低2019考研英语作文，其他题型部分难度略高于2019考研英语难度，综合起来2020考研英语难度与2019考研英语难度持平，因此难度并不能称为史上最大。但是考研英语对于大部分考生而言仍然是一道门槛，每年有很多考生因为考研英语没有过国家线而没有进入考研复试。那么每年有多少考生英语卡在了英语国家线上呢？虽然没有公开的考研统计资料，但是根据老师每年的考研观察，自己的学生每年至少有30%左右的考生会因为考研英语成绩低，而卡在了英语国家线上，即使这些考生其他科目都成绩很高，也不能进入考研复试，对考生而言非常地遗憾。因此也提醒今后考研的考生一定要把考研英语复习好，这样才更有把握考上硕士研究生。

许多同学复习考研英语阅读理解时，往往很迷茫，不知道该弄懂哪些问题。所以，我们就在这里，总结了一下，我们在复习过程之中，应该做些什么事情，让我们更高效地复习考研英语阅读理解。首先，提升阅读能力可以适量看外刊。看外刊是培养阅读能力的一种方式，但是考研英语阅读是与做题直接挂钩的，因此相对而言更具针对性。所以建议大家还是先以真题为主，做到能够通过对阅读文本的翻译了解文章的谋篇布局，尝试做对题，把这套工作做扎实以后再考虑阅读其他刊物。虽然优秀的外刊文章很多，但毕竟不能代替真题。何老师的2020《考研英语阅读同源外刊时文精析》即将出版，这本书中的文章，就是真题同源外刊文章，并根据真题出题思路和规律，进行编排和讲解，对我们提升阅读能力，很有帮助。其次，阅读理解大致都会翻译，却做不对题怎么办。翻译虽然是做阅读理解的一项必要能力和过程，但阅读理解的成效最终体现在做题上，因此，要关注所翻译的部分是否与解题有所联系，要建立起文本与题目之间的联系，通过定位原文有针对性地进行翻译，并且与各个选项进行对比。要知道，很多人不需要翻译全部内容就可以做对题，这是考研学子要努力的方向。再次，阅读理解需要准备哪些复习材料。建议根据自己基础进行选择，如果觉得基础比较好，那么只需要真题和简单的答案解析就可以啦。如果觉得基础薄弱，那么一定要选择带有阅读翻译的答案解析！此外，阅读理解的一般步骤是什么。　　1.先以正常速度阅读一遍文章，标注每段主旨句和其他关键信息；2.审题(包括题目和选项)，标注题目中的关键信息，例如人名、地名、否定词等等，便于定位；3.定位到原文，可根据关键词定位或自然定位；4.关键句的理解和翻译；5.与答案作对比，根据确切依据选出正确答案。最后，阅读理解的做题时间如何把握？考研英语总共是三个小时，在做阅读理解时，一开始还是要以做对题为第一要务，不必太在意时间，随着对文章布局的熟悉和解题技巧的娴熟，速度自然会加快，最后全部阅读理解控制在一个半小时左右即可。当然，这也要根据每个人的特点，如果对写作比较生疏，那么要相对加快阅读理解的做题速度。了解了以上问题之后，我们再做做何老师的2020《考研英语阅读同源外刊时文精析》，对我们提高复习成绩和效率，很有益处。
