阅读理解Part A作答指导I
文章读懂的秘密
考研英语阅读理解的文章多选自西方国家报刊，体裁多是议论文。一篇议论文的构成主要有论点和论据两部分。作者在文章中提出自己的观点，即我们所称的论点，然后将各个论据用不同的论证方法加以论证，形成一篇逻辑缜密的文章。因此，“读懂文章”重在寻找论点，理清论据。
一、寻找论点
考生首先要有寻找文章论点的意识，根据历年真题的考查情况，我们总结如下：在考研英语阅读的文章中，作者通常在首段首句、首段末句、第二段首句以及段落中表示转折的句子处表明自己的观点。
(一）论点在首段首句
关注文章各段首句，尤其是第一段首句。这一点充分体现了西方人的思维习惯对语言的影响。西方人属于直线式思维模式，即习惯于开门见山地表达自己的观点，然后通过各种论述方法论证自己的观点。因此通常情况下，文章首段首句是文章的中心句，各段首句是段落中心句。
［例1］
Why do so many Americans distrust what they read in their newspapers? The American Society of Newspaper Editors is trying to answer this painful question. The organization is deep into a long self-analysis known as the journalism credibility project ... [ 2001年]
［例2］
In recent years, railroads have been combining with each other, merging into super systems, causing heightened concerns about monopoly. As recently as 1995, the top four railroads accounted for under 70 percent of the total ton-miles moved by rails. Next year, after a series of mergers is completed, just four railroads will control well over 90 percent of all the freight moved by major rail carriers ... [ 2003年]
［例3］
Americans no longer expect public figures, whether in speech or in writing, to command the English language with skill and gift. Nor do they aspire to such command themselves. In his latest book, Doing Our Own Thing: The Degradation of Language and Music and Why We Should, Like, Care, John McWhorter, a linguist and controversialist of mixed liberal and conservative views, sees the triumph of 1960s counter-culture as responsible for the decline of formal English ... [ 2005年]
（二）论点在首段末句
这类文章的一个显著特点是，作者先说明一个现象或讲述一个事件，然后在该段末尾，作者针对这个现象提出相应的观点。
［例1］
“The Heart of the Matter,” the just-released report by the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (AAAS), deserves praise for affirming the importance of the humanities and social sciences to the prosperity and security of liberal democracy in America. Regrettably, however, the report’s failure to address the true nature of the crisis facing liberal education may cause more harm than good. [ 2014年]
［例2］
During the past generation, the American middle-class family that once could count on hard work and fair play to keep itself financially secure has been transformed by economic risk and new realities. Now a pink slip, a bad diagnosis, or a disappearing spouse can reduce a family from solidly middle class to newly poor in a few months. [ 2007年]
（三）论点在第二段首句
这类文章的首段有一个显著的特点，作者在说明现象和讲述事件时通常使用描述性语言和记叙性语言；而在第二段首句出现的文章论点通常是议论性语言。
［例1］
In the early 1960s Wilt Chamberlain was one of only three players in the National Basketball Association listed at over seven feet. If he had played last season, however, he would have been one of 42. The bodies playing major professional sports have changed dramatically over the years, and managers have been more than willing to adjust team uniforms to fit the growing numbers of bigger, longer frames.
The trend in sports, though, may be obscuring an unrecognized reality: Americans have generally stopped growing ... [ 2008年]
［例2］
Over the past decade, thousands of patents have been granted for what are called business methods. Amazon.com received one for its “one-click” online payment system. Merrill Lynch got legal protection for an asset allocation strategy. One inventor patented a technique for lifting a box.
Now the nation’s top patent court appears completely ready to scale back on business-method patents, which have been controversial ever since they were first authorized 10 years ago. In a move that has intellectual-property lawyers abuzz, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit said it would use a particular case to conduct a broad review of business-method patents. In re Bilski, as the case is known, is “a very big deal,” says Dennis D. Crouch of the University of Missouri School of law. It “has the potential to eliminate an entire class of patents.” [ 2010年]
（四）表示转折的句子通常为段落论点
关注文章首段或其他段落中表示转承、因果的句子。因为通常情况下，首段出现这样的句子, 要么是中心句，要么与中心密切相关；而在文章其他段落出现这样的句子通常为段落主旨句。
［例1］
All around the world, lawyers generate more hostility than the members of any other profession—with the possible exception of journalism. But there are few places where clients have more grounds for complaint than America. [ 2014年 ]
［例2］
On a five to three vote, the Supreme Court knocked out much of Arizona’s immigration law Monday—a modest policy victory for the Obama Administration. But on the more important matter of the Constitution, the decision was an 8-0 defeat for the Administration’s effort to upset the balance of power between the federal government and the states. [ 2013年]
因此考生要读懂考研阅读的文章，首先要学会有意识地寻找文章的中心主旨，通过研究真题，整理总结文章主旨的出现方式，基本上常考的主旨题也就迎刃而解了。
二、理清论据
当作者提出文章中心，即这篇议论文的论点后，接下来还会运用各类论据证明自己的观点，考生应学会整理。在考研英语阅读文章中，作者经常使用的论据类型包括：引用专家或教授等人的观点、数字论据、事实论据以及实验调查研究等。
（一）一种论据
［例1］（数字论据）
The value of knowledge and the return on the public investment in research depends, in part, upon wide distribution and ready access. It is big business. In America, the core scientific publishing market is estimated at between $7 billion and $11 billion. The International Association of Scientific Technical and Medical Publishers says that there are more than 2,000 publishers worldwide specializing in these subjects. They publish more than 1.2 million articles each year in some 16,000 journals. [ 2008年]
［例2］（专家观点）
Dr. Yehuda notes another difference between the sexes. “I think that the kinds of things that women are exposed to tend to be in a chronic or repeated nature. Men go to war and are exposed to combat stress. Men are exposed to more acts of random physical violence. The kinds of interpersonal violence that women are exposed to tend to be in domestic situations, by, unfortunately, parents or other family members, and they tend not to be one-shot deals. The wear-and-tear that comes from these longer relationships can be quite devastating.”[ 2008年]
