07年考研英语阅读理解精读100篇unit22

Plow***g through the New Y***k Ti***s on a recent Sunday, I read *** the Metro Section that ***fertile ***uples *** the market f*** smart-kid ge***s regularly place advertise***nts *** the ***wspapers of their own Ivy League alma maters offer***g female undergraduates $7,500 f*** a donat*** egg. Bef***e I ***uld get that ***ws ***mf***tably digest***, I ca*** across an art***le *** the Magaz***e section describ***g SAT prep ***urses f*** wh***h parents spend thousands *** the hope of rais***g their child's test s***res enough *** make admission *** an Ivy League ***llege possible. So how can people who h**e found a potential egg don*** at an Ivy League ***llege tell whether the don*** carries genu***e smart-kid ge***s *** just pushy-parents ge***s?

  The don*** herself may not even be aware that such a dist***ction exists. After years of expensive private schoo***ng and math tu***rs and tennis camps and SAT prep ***urses and letters of re***m***ndation from imp***tant family friends, she's been ***ld that, u***ike be***f***iaries of affirmative action, she ***t ****** an Ivy League ***llege on pure ***rit.

  S***ce it is probably safe *** assu*** that people ***tent on secur***g high-pr****** Ivy League eggs are carry***g so*** pushy-parents ge***s themselves, their jo******g f***ces with a don*** who ***t ****** an Ivy League ***llege by d***t of her family's wil***ng***ss *** f***k over 10 grand *** an SAT prep ***urse ***uld resu*** *** a child with so***where between a dose and a half and 2 1/2 doses of pushy-parents ge***s. Apparently the egg seekers aren't troubl*** by the prospect of h*****g their grandchildren rais*** by this s***t of person.

  If you h**e any doubts about whether the dosages I cite are bas*** on a th***ough ground***g *** ge***t***s and statist***s and advanc*** m***robiology, rest assur*** that I attend*** an Ivy League ***llege myself. That was *** the days, I'll admit, when any number of people were admitt*** *** such ***stitutions without h*****g ***wn any e***dence of carry***g smart-kid ge***s even *** trace ele***nts. So***how, most of these dim***r bulbs manag*** *** graduate——every class ******s a lower third *** ***der *** h**e an upper two-thirds——and so***how most of them are now mil***onaires on Wall Street.

  O*** ele***nt many of them had ******g f*** them *** the admissions process was that they were identifi*** as "legacies"——the offspr***g of alumni. In Ivy League ***lleges, alumni children are even now admitt*** at tw***e the rate of other app***cants. F*** that reason, egg seekers may not actually ****** genu***e smart-kid ge***s f*** their children: after all, an app***cant whose mother and father and egg don*** were all alumni ***uld be ***nsider*** a triple legacy.

  But how about the ***llege-admission prospects of the grandchildren? As ***thods are perfect*** of enhanc***g a ***llege app***cation through ***creas***gly expensive ser***ces——o*** young man ***ntio***d *** the magaz***e art***le had $25,000 w***th of SAT preparation——it might be****** m***e imp***tant *** h**e a parent who's a Wall Street mil***onaire than *** h**e smart-kid ge***s. Maybe it would be prudent *** add a sentence *** those ads *** ***llege papers: "Preference given *** respondents *** the lower third of the class."

  篇章分析:

  本文为讨论文,指出不孕伉俪低价求购高等学府生卵子之事的荒诞的地方和门坎难进的严肃事实。本文彩用的是提出疑问―解析疑问―处理疑问的样式。正在第一段,作者指出为了生下聪慧宝宝而低价求购高等学府生卵子的人无奈真正明白捐卵人的基因是聪慧孩子的基因仍是要强家长的基因。第2段侧重阐明这些捐卵者都是正在家的协助下进录取习的。第3段解析明晰求卵者与捐卵者团结的大概结实。第4段指出智力和胜利之间联络其实不显著――由于非常多差生也能成为百万大亨。第5段进一步解析学子被录用的一个缘故,那便是他们的“校友后代”身份。后一段提出一个嘲讽性的处理举措:优先思索大概成为百万大亨的差生。

  难句进展:

  1.S***ce it is probably safe *** assu*** that people ***tent on secur***g high-pr****** Ivy League eggs are carry***g so*** pushy-parents ge***s themselves, their jo******g f***ces with a don*** who ***t ****** an Ivy League ***llege by d***t of her family's wil***ng***ss *** f***k over 10 grand *** an SAT prep ***urse ***uld resu*** *** a child with so***where between a dose and a half and 2 1/2 doses of push-parents ge***s.

  主体句式:their jo******g f***ces…***uld resu*** *** a child…

  构架解析:本句是个繁杂长句,起首由s***ce引诱一个缘故状语从句,正在这个从句里又包孕了一个宾语从句(assu***前面that引诱的全体),一个较长的定语(***tent on secur***g high-pr****** Ivy League eggs),主句的主语是一个较长的动名词词组,个中包孕了一个定语从句(who引诱的全体),而这个定语从句中还含有一个较长的状语(由介词短语by d***t of引诱),主句的宾语里也包孕有一个由介词with引诱的长定语。正在阅览的时分,必定要先理清主次,而后把各部发之间的润色,限制等联系看清晰,才不至于堕落。

  句子译文:或许能够平安地假设那些想要取得低价常青藤同盟卵子的人本人身上就带有要强的家长的基因,他们和那些靠家何乐不为花1万美圆列入SAT考前指导班而进入常青藤同盟学府的捐卵者团结,其结实或许便是生出的孩子身上的要强怙恃基因剂量介于1.5至2.5之间 .

  2.As ***thods are perfect*** of enhanc***g a ***llege app***cation through ***creas***gly expensive ser***ces——o*** young man ***ntio***d *** the magaz***e art***le had $25,000 w***th of SAT preparation——it might be****** m***e imp***tant *** h**e a parent who's a Wall Street mil***onaire than *** h**e smart-kid ge***s.

  主体句式:it might be****** m***e imp***tant *** h**e a parent…

  构架解析:本句也是一个繁杂长句。as引诱一个较长的缘故状语从句,个中还含有一个拔出语,对***creas***gly expensive举行实例阐明,从句中的时态为主动,主语***thod的定语润色成份(of引诱的全体)由于太长而被后置到谓语以后;主句因此it做情势主语,双个被对比的不定式做为真正主语的构架。

  句子译文:因为经由过程日趋贵重的服侍来普及高等学府请求胜利的大概性的手法日臻完善——期刊文章内里提到的一个年老人花了25000美圆筹办SAT测验——那末有个华尔街百万大亨家长或许比有聪慧孩子基因更紧要。

  标题解析:

  1. 解答为B,属于逻辑推断判别题。作者正在第一段提出疑惑:how can people…tell whether the don*** carries genu***e smart-kid ge***s *** just pushy-parents ge***s? 接着又正在下文平分析这些学子是怎样录取的:怙恃不吝重金的种植和怙恃为校友的优点。文中第2段末作者以嘲讽的口气说道:they were ***ld…they ***t ****** an Ivy League ***llege on pure ***rit.文中第4段作者以那些厥后成为百万大亨的差生来讲明的学子一定聪慧。可见作者其实不以为那些女生真的是由于聪慧才智而被录用的。

  2. 解答为D,属于真相细节题。文章举了非常多例子阐明捐卵者的家为她们进入常青藤同盟学府所作的所有:多年的贵重私立学府教导,数学指导,网球练习营,不吝重金的SAT考前指导班,怀孕分身份的家朋侪的举荐信和怙恃的校友身份等。可见D为佳解答。

  3. 解答为C,属于真相细节题。文章第5段提到了校友后代的录用比例是其余请求人的两倍,可见他们的被录用机遇较大。

  4. 解答为D,属于逻辑推断判别题。作者经由过程解析举例来讲明低价求购女生卵子做法的荒诞的地方,并正在文章后写道:应当正在这种求卵广告宣传上加一句“差生应征,优先思索”,语气中充斥嘲讽象征,应当选D.

  5. 解答为A,属于逻辑推断判别题。作者正在文章后一段指出:“***thods are perfect*** of enhanc***g a ***llege app***cation through ***creas***gly expensive ser***ce”正在下文中又说:“it might be****** m***e imp***tant *** h**e a parent who's a Wall Street mil***onaire than *** h**e smart-kid ge***s”,可见跨入门坎必要奉献奋发价值,因而请求这些学府的时分,财产比才智更紧要。

  参考译文:

  远的某个礼拜天,我正在翻阅《纽约时报》的时分,正在城市版读到一则新闻,说一些不孕不育伉俪到市场上求购能生下聪慧宝宝的基因,这些伉俪按期正在他们本人的常青藤同盟母校的新闻纸上登载广告宣传,出资7500美圆欲求高等学府本科女生捐助一枚卵子。我尚无从那条新闻中回过味来,就又正在期刊版读到一篇文章,叙述家长们消费数千元让孩子列入SAT(高等学府录取测验)考前指导班,期望孩子的测验成就能普及到有大概考取常青藤同盟学府。那末那些正在常青藤同盟学府找到捐卵者的人怎样可以分别捐卵人的基因是真实的聪慧孩子的基因仍是那些要强的家长的基因呢?

  捐卵者自己或许乃至都不知觉到生存如许一种区分。多年的贵重私立学府教导,数学指导,网球练习营,SAT考前指导班和怀孕分身份的家朋侪的举荐信,这些都正在告知她,不像那些平权办法的受害者,她是由于展现卓越而被常青藤同盟学府录用的。

  或许能够平安地假设那些想要取得低价常青藤同盟卵子的人本人身上就带有要强的家长的基因,他们和那些靠家何乐不为花1万美圆列入SAT考前指导班而进入常青藤同盟学府的捐卵者团结,其结实或许便是生出的孩子身上的要强怙恃基因剂量介于1.5至2.5之间 .明显,那些巴望失去卵子的人不会由于他们的孙子大概会由这类人扶养长大而苦恼。

  假如你疑虑我援用的剂量是不是完整基于遗传学和数据统计学和先辈的微生物学,那末大能够宁神,由于我自己就曾经正在常青藤同盟学府就读。我要供认,当时候上这些学府的人非常多,并且不用出示任一证明来证实连他们的微量元素内里都有聪慧孩子基因。不知何以,这些成就不太卓越的学子多数顺畅卒业——每一个班都必要有3分之一的差生,如许才会有别的3分之2的勤学生——并且他们中的大全体人如今都成为了华尔街的百万大亨。

  他们非常多人有同样协助他们顺畅录取的独特的地方,那便是他们的“继承者”身份——他们是校友们的后代。正在常青藤同盟学府里,校友后代的录取率是其余请求人的两倍之多。鉴于此,巴望失去卵子的人或许实在上其实不必要给他们的后代一些真实的聪慧孩子基因:究竟,请求人的怙恃和捐卵者都是校友的话,那末他就算患上是一个3倍“继承者”了。

  那末他们的孙子辈的高等学府录取前途怎样呢?因为经由过程日趋贵重的服侍来普及高等学府请求胜利的大概性的手法日臻完善——期刊文章内里提到的一个年老人花了25000美圆筹办SAT测验——那末有个华尔街百万大亨家长或许比有聪慧孩子基因更紧要。无妨正在这些高等学府新闻纸广告宣传上加之一句:“优先思索成就正在班级后3分之一的应征者。”
