考研英语题源深阅读Ⅱ 《新闻周刊》、《探索》、《哈佛商业评论》分册试读：
前言
Foreword对于广大考研学子而言，考研英语阅读一直是一座难以跨越的高峰。近年来，随着考研英语阅读呈现出一系列的新变化，包括题源范围扩大化、文章题材多样化、考查角度灵活化等，阅读理解部分对考生的能力要求也相应有所提高。虽然市面上已有各种考研英语辅导资料来帮助考生攻克阅读难关，但是，无数的经验表明，仅靠题海战术及所谓的应试技巧是远远不够的，紧扣历年真题、深入剖析题源文章、注重阅读能力培养、实现应试技巧的全面提升才是决胜英语阅读的关键所在。
增加阅读量、扩大阅读范围是提高考生阅读能力的最有效的办法，而如何从浩如烟海的辅导资料中选择出真正贴近考研英语阅读、全面提升考研英语能力的文章则是至关重要的一步。事实上，如果我们能够选对英语文章、进行透彻分析，并且考生能够读深读透、坚持训练、持续总结，英语阅读能力的提升便指日可待。
幸运的是，通过对历年考研真题阅读理解文章来源的整理，我们发现，这其中是有规律可循的。下表为我们详细总结的2005—2015年的考研英语阅读理解部分真题来源以及出题频次汇总。近十年考研阅读真题来源汇总真题年份真题部分真题来源The Economist U．S．Text 1 Text 2 Text 3 2005News & World Report Text 4Newsweek The EconomistText 2 Text 3 Text 4 The Observer The 2006Part BEconomist TIME NewsweekThe New York Times Text 1 Text 2 Text 3 Scientific American 2007Text 4 Part BHarvard Magazine The Economist TIMEThe Economist Discovery The Economist Scientific Cloze Text 1 Text 2 2008American U．S．News & Text 3 Text 4World ReportThe New York Times Cloze & Text 1 Text Scientific American 20092 Text 3 Part BMcKinsey Quarterly EncartaThe Economist Commentary Business Cloze Text 1 Text 2 Week Harvard Business 2010Text 3 Text 4 Part BReview The Economist Mckinsey QuarterlyScientific American Cloze Text 1 Text 2 Commentary Business 2011Text 3 Text 4 Part BWeek McKinsey Quarterly Newsweek The EconomistThe New York Times TIME Cloze Text 1 Text 2 2012Boston Globe The Text 4 Part BEconomist New ScientistThe Economist Business Cloze Text 1 Text 2 Week The Economist New 2013Text 3 Text 4Scientist The Wall Street JournalThe Economist The Cloze Text 1 Text 2 Guardian The Economist 2014Text 3 Text 4Nature The Wall Street JournalGivology The Guardian Cloze Text 1 Text 2 2015The Washington Post Text 3 Text 4Nature The Guardian
上表详细列出了近十年考研英语真题阅读文章来源以及各刊物出题频次，根据这些报纸杂志的题源特点，我们按照真题选取频度由低到高，分类分册编写了5本丛书：《考研英语题源深阅读Ⅰ〈纽约时报〉与〈麦肯锡季刊〉分册》、《考研英语题源深阅读Ⅱ〈新闻周刊〉、〈探索〉与〈哈佛商业评论〉分册》、《考研英语题源深阅读Ⅲ〈时代周刊〉、〈科学〉、〈美国新闻与世界报道〉分册》、《考研英语题源深阅读Ⅳ〈科学美国人〉、〈商业周刊〉与〈卫报〉分册》、《考研英语题源深阅读Ⅴ〈经济学人〉与〈评论〉分册》。本系列丛书的编写正是基于这样的目的：在题源中精心选取在难度、篇幅、风格、题材方面与真题尽可能贴近的文章，附之以主旨、词汇、难句、文化背景等全方位多角度的点拨，从而最大限度地帮助考生节约复习时间、提高学习效率、实现英语阅读能力与应试技巧的双重跨越式提升。具体而言，本书在编写上具有以下特点：

我们知道，一篇考研英语的阅读真题是不可能与所选取的报纸杂志上的文章完全一致的，因为原文文章可能存在篇幅过长，超纲词汇较多，口语化表达或者书面化正式用语比较丰富等不适合考试阅读的情况。这就需要考研编题组对原文文章进行精简、改编，通过对题源文章和考研英语阅读真题的对比研究，我们发现，改编的原则大概有以下几条：
一、删去原文文章的题目。
二、将个别超出大纲词汇或者并不常用的词语更换成大纲词汇或我们比较熟悉的词语、短语等。
三、将含有感情色彩，影响文章感情判断的词语或文章主旨立场的词或短语弱化成没有感情色彩的、比较中性的词语。
四、精简文章内容，将不影响文章大意和阅读连贯性的细节部分合并或者直接删除。
本书开篇分别对选自《新闻周刊》、《探索》与《哈佛商业评论》的原文和考研英语真题文章进行对比分析，具体演示从题源文章到考研英语阅读的改编过程。同时，在右侧附上真题对应题及答案（答案见本章末）。2011年硕士研究生入学统一考试 Reading Part A Text 4
选自Not On Board With Baby，Newsweek，July 9th 2010
Not On Board With Baby(1)
It's no surprise that Jennifer Senior's insightful，provocative New York(2)magazine cover story，“I love My Children，I Hate My Life，”is arousing inciting(3)much chatter——nothing gets people talking like the suggestion that child rearing is anything less than a completely fulfilling，life enriching experience．（Remember the heat that novelist Ayelet Waldman took for merely implying that she loved her husband more than her children？）(4)Rather than concluding that children make parents either happy or miserable，Senior suggests we need to redefine happiness：instead of thinking of it as something that can be measured by moment-to-moment joy elation(5)，we should consider being happy as a past tense condition．Even though the day-to-day experience of raising kids can be soul crushingly hard，Senior writes that“the very things that in the moment dampen our moods can later be sources of intense gratification，nostalgia，and delight．”Apparently that selective，evolutionarily advantageous amnesia that makes women forget the pain of childbirth lasts well beyond the first years of your children's lives． According to one long-term study in California，no participants regretted having children，but 10 people in the study reported regretting not having a family．(6)
The magazine New York cover showing an attractive blonde(7)mother holding a cute，chubby，blue-eyed baby is hardly the only Madonna-and-child image combo(8)on newsstands this week．There's also Real Housewife Bethenny Frankel above the People magazine headline“My Baby Saved Me，”a possibly pregnant（but probably just bloated）Jessica Simpson（OK！magazine's“Baby for Jess”），and“Baby No． 2 on the Way！”（despite any evidence of conception whatsoever）for reality-TV personality Kourtney Kardashian on the cover of inTouch．(9)There are also stories about newly adoptive——and newly single——mom Sandra Bullock，as well as the usual“Jennifer Aniston is pregnant”news．（at least the third such rumor about Aniston this year，but this is a slow year）．(10)Practically every week features at least one celebrity mom，or mom to be，smiling beatifically(11)on the newsstands．
In a society that so persistently relentlessly(12)celebrates procreation，（especially when done by attractive celebrities），(13)is it any wonder that admitting you regret having children is equivalent tantamount(14)to admitting you support kitten-killing？It doesn't seem quite fair，then，to compare the regrets of parents to the regrets of the childless．Unhappy parents rarely are provoked to wonder if they shouldn't have had kids，but unhappy childless folks are bothered——those freakish nonbreeders——are bombarded(15)with the message that children are the single most important thing in the world：obviously their misery must be a direct result of the gaping baby size holes in their lives．
Of course，the image of parenthood that celebrity magazines like U．S．Weekly and People，inTouch，and OK！(16)present is hugely unrealistic，especially when the parents are single mothers like Bullock．According to several studies concluding that parents are less happy than childless couples，single parents are the least happy of all．No shock there，considering how much work it is to raise a kid without a partner to lean on；yet to hear Sandra and Britney tell it，raising a kid on their“own”（read：with round-the-clock help）is a piece of cake．
It's hard to imagine that many people are dumb enough to want children just because Reese and Angelina make it look so glamorous：most adults understand that a baby is not a haircut．But it's interesting to wonder if the images we see every week of blissful(17)，stress-free，happiness-enhancing parenthood aren't in some small，subconscious way contributing to our own dissatisfactions with the actual experience，in the same way that a small part of us hoped getting“the Rachel”might make us look just a little bit like Jennifer Aniston．

［A］temporary delight
［B］enjoyment in progress

选自Accidental Influentials，Havard Business Review，Feb．2007
The Accidental Influentials(18)
In his best-selling(19)book The Tipping Point，Malcolm Gladwell argues that“social epidemics”are driven in large part by the acting actions(20)of a tiny minority of special individuals，often called influentials，who are unusually informed，persuasive，or well connected． The idea is intuitively compelling，compelling——we think we see it happening all the time——(21)but it doesn't explain how ideas actually spread．
The supposed importance of influentials derives from a plausible-sounding but largely untested theory called the“two-step flow of communication”： information flows from the media to the influentials and from them to everyone else． Marketers have embraced the two-step flow because it suggests that if they can just find and influence the influentials，those select people will do most of the work for them． The theory also seems to explain the sudden and unexpected popularity of certain looks，brands，or neighborhoods． In many such cases，a cursory search for causes finds that some small group of people was wearing，promoting，or developing whatever it is before anyone else paid attention． Anecdotal evidence of this kind fits nicely with the idea that only certain special people can drive trends．
In their recent work，however，some researchers my colleague Peter Dodds and Ihave come up with the finding found(22)that influentials have far less impact on social epidemics than is generally supposed． In fact，they don't seem to be required of all．
The researchers Our argument stems from a simple observation about social influence：with the exception of a few(23)celebrities like Oprah Winfrey——whose outsize presence is primarily a function of media，not interpersonal influence——even the most influential members of a population simply don't interact with that many others． Yet it is precisely these non-celebrity influentials who，according to the two-step-flow theory，are supposed to drive social epidemics by influencing their friends and colleagues directly． For a social epidemic to occur，however，each person so affected must then influence his or her own acquaintances，who must in turn influence theirs，and so on；and just how many others pay attention to each of these people has little to do with the initial influential． If people in the network just two degrees removed from the initial influential prove resistant，for example，the cascade of change won't propagate very far or affect many people．
Building on the this basic truth about interpersonal influence，the researchers Dodds and I(24)studied the dynamics of social influence contagion(25)by conducting thousands of computer simulations of populations，manipulating a number of variables relating to people's ability to influence others and their tendency to be influenced． They found Our work shows that the principal requirement for what is called we call(26)“global cascades”——the widespread propagation of influence through networks——is the presence not of a few influentials but，rather，of a critical mass of easily influenced people，each of whom adopts，say，a look or a brand after being exposed to a single adopting neighbor． Regardless of how influential an individual is locally，he or she can exert global influence only if this critical mass is available to propagate a chain reaction．(27)
31．By citing the book The Tipping Point，the author intends to_____．
［A］analyze the consequences of social epidemics ［B］discuss influentials' function in spreading ideas ［C］exemplify people's intuitive response to social epidemics ［D］describe the essential characteristics of influentials
考查对作者写作意图的把握，结合第一段尤其是最后一句的理解即可找出答案。
32．The author suggests that the“two-step flow theory”_____．
［A］serves as a solution to marketing problems ［B］has helped explain certain prevalent trends ［C］has won support from influentials ［D］requires solid evidence for its validity

33．What the researchers have observed recently shows that_____．
［A］the power of influence goes with social interactions ［B］interpersonal links can be enhanced through the media ［C］influentials have more channels to reach the public ［D］most celebrities enjoy wide media attention

选自Gender Inequality：Women Under Stress，Discovery，2008
Gender Inequality：Women Under Stress(28)
While still catching up to men in some spheres of modern life，women appear to be way ahead in at least one undesirable category．“Women are particularly susceptible to developing depression and anxiety disorders in response to stress compared to men，”according to Dr．Yehuda，chief psychiatrist at New York's Veteran's Administration Hospital．(29)Yehuda．
Studies of both animals and humans have shown that sex hormones somehow affect modulate the stress response，causing females under stress to produce secrete(30)more of the trigger chemicals like CRF(31)than do males under the same conditions．In several of the studies，when stressed-out female rats had their ovaries （the female reproductive organs）(32)removed，their chemical responses became equal to those of the males．
Adding to a woman's increased dose of stress chemicals，are her increased“opportunities”for stress．“It's not necessarily that women don't cope as well．It's just that they have so much more to cope with，”says Dr．Yehuda．“Their capacity for tolerating stress may even be greater than men's，”she observes，“it's just that they're dealing with so many more things that they become worn out from it more visibly and sooner．”
Dr．Yehuda，also chief psychiatrist at New York's Veteran's Administration Hospital，(33)notes another difference between the sexes．“I think that the kinds of things that women are exposed to tend to be in more of 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．”
Adeline Alvarez told She TV how a lifetime of chronic stress finally overwhelmed her．“My mom was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia in 1964 when my sister was born，”she recalls，“and there were times that she wouldn't even know who we were，and it wasn't good for us to be with her，so they would separate us． I just had this little world of my own and I cried a lot．”Alvarez(34)married at 18 and gave birth to a son，but was determined to finish college．“I struggled a lot to get the college degree．I was living in so much frustration insanity(35)that that was my escape，to go to school，and get ahead and do better．”Later，her marriage ended and she became a single mother．“It's the hardest thing to take care of a teenager，have a job，pay the rent，pay the car payment，and pay the debt．I lived from paycheck to paycheck．”
Finally，the relentless pressure became too much to bear．“I went into a severe depression． I found myself in the attic looking at these pictures and crying over them，blaming myself like ‘what did I do？’”Alvarez recalls．“I was beating myself up． I lost my job，and I really broke down． Then the car broke down on top of that． I had a nervous breakdown for two months in the house and I couldn't function． I wouldn't even go out to shop．”(36)
Not everyone experiences the kinds of severe chronic stresses Alvarez describes．But most women today are coping with juggling(37)a lot of obligations，with few breaks，and feeling the strain．Alvarez's experience demonstrates the importance of finding ways to diffuse stress before it threatens your health and your ability to function．
21．Which of the following is true according to the first two paragraphs？
［A］Women are biologically more vulnerable to stress． ［B］Women are still suffering much stress caused by men． ［C］Women are more experienced than men in coping with stress． ［D］Men and women show different inclinations when faced with stress．
根据对第一、第二段的理解，尤其是第二段首句，可知A项与这句话的意思相符。
22．Dr．Yehuda's research suggests that women_____．
［A］need extra doses of chemicals to handle stress ［B］have limited capacity for tolerating stress ［C］are more capable of avoiding stress ［D］are exposed to more stress
根据第三段Yehuda的表述可以得出D项所述的结论。
23．According to Paragraph 4，the stress women confront tends to be_____．
［A］domestic and temporary ［B］irregular and violent ［C］durable and frequent ［D］trivial and random
出题点在第四段最后一句话，C项是对该句话的准确总结。
24．The sentence“I lived from paycheck to paycheck．”shows that_____．
［A］Alvarez cared about nothing but making money ［B］Alvarez's salary barely covered her household expenses ［C］Alvarez got paychecks from different jobs ［D］Alvarez paid practically everything by check
根据该句话的前面一句即可推断出正确答案。
25．Which of the following would be the best title for the text？
［A］Strain of Stress：No Way Out？ ［B］Responses to Stress：Gender Difference ［C］Stress Analysis：What Che-micals Say ［D］Gender Inequality：Women Under Stress
