主持人：各位同学，大家晚上好，相信大家经过暑假一些培训班的学习，对英语的阅读理解有了更进一步的接触，很多同学给我们反映考研英语阅读理解题目太刁钻了。那么，今天我们海文教育集团请到了国家考研英语阅卷组成员、中国人民大学外语学院副教授、考研阅读辅导旗帜性人物郭庆民老师再次为大家讲解一下考研英语阅读理解考题分析及解答技巧。郭庆民：大家好，今天在这里我将再次为大家剖析一下考研英语阅读理解的部分考题，并详细介绍一下对应的解答技巧。
英语的提高是个日积月累，厚积薄发的过程，也是逆水行舟、不进则退的过程。你可以花一个月时间突击政治。但绝不敢自恃英语基础不错，放松英语的学习。提高英语成绩的捷径，我认为是多做阅读题：一是阅读理解的分值太高了，决定着考研的成败、考生的命运，无法不重视。二是阅读理解在巩固词汇，培养语感，提高英语水平方面有不可替代作用。
我们应该都注意到了，考研英语阅读文章的体裁大部分都是说明文和议论文。而这种体裁的文章，都是逻辑非常严密的文章。命题专家组不但选文是逻辑性强的，考察重点也是逻辑性较强的。我们经常遇到的“看懂了文章，却做不对题目”正是由于我们仅仅看懂了文章的字面意思，没有去认真体会文章的逻辑关系。另外，考研作文长久以来的“三段式”也是直接考察逻辑思维的。结构一般是这样的：
主题(本质)段： 拿出主题X的句子+定义X的句子
展开段： 正推1+逻辑证明正推1； 正推2+逻辑证明正推2。
总结段： 对主题用辨证逻辑来下结论。
考研阅读一般会在首句给出文章主题A，要养成认出A马上就问自己以上两个问题的习惯。比如首句是“人是自私的吗？”，那么显然，自私就是A，作者一般会对A做概念解释，然后通过正面证明自己观点和反驳相反观点的一系列逻辑推理来得出结论。那么，命题专家组就是要考察我们的这种逻辑思维能力。
下面我们实战演练一篇考题来让同学们进一步领会一下：
2004年研究生入学考试英语试题
Hunting for a job late last year, lawyer Gant Redmon stumbled across Career Builder, a job database on the Internet. He searched it with no success but was attracted by the site’s “personal search agent”.[本文的主题词在第二句P.S.A个人搜索工具。看到主题A应该怎么做？问自己A是什么、A作用根据] It’s an interactive feature that lets visitors key in job criteria such as location, title, and salary, then E-mails them when a matching position is posted in the database.[很好，符合我们的思维，作者马上对A做了定义] Redmon chose the keywords legal, intellectual property, and Washington, D.C. Three weeks later, he got his first notification of an opening. “I struck gold,’ says Redmon, who E-mailed his resume to the employer and won a position as in-house counsel for a company. [更好，这几句是对A能够作用举例论证。逻辑性非常强]
本段小结一下：主题+主题定义+主题根据。出题点不可能问主题是什么(都告诉我们了还考什么啊！一定是考紧跟其后的主题定义或者主题根据，又由于主题定义作者给的非常清楚明白，因此，重点出题点可能在主题根据)
With thousands of career-related sites on the Internet, finding promising openings can be time-consuming and inefficient. Search agents reduce the need for repeated visits to the databases.[讲了PSA的优势1：省时高效] But [刚才是PSA的优势，看到转折词，应该提醒自己了，要说劣势了]although a search agent worked for Redmon, career experts see drawbacks.[很好，和我们预期的一样，连专家都说有缺点了] Narrowing your criteria[讲劣势1，之后显然是“拉虎皮做大旗”，用专家的话来证明其劣势], for example, may work against you: “Every time you answer a question you eliminate a possibility.” says one expert.
本段讲了主题的优劣，是辨证的思维方式。小时候说“XXX是坏人”就不是辨证的思维。出题点肯定是优势1或者劣势1了。
For any job search, you should start with a narrow concept —— what you think you want to do —— then broaden it. “None of these programs do that,” says another expert. [劣势1的主人不再仅仅是PSA，而且是所有工作搜索工具，归纳思想]“There’s no career counseling implicit in all of this.” Instead,[好了，都“辨证”的看了优劣了，估计作者要讲怎样辨证的使用PSA了] the best strategy is to use the agent as a kind of tip service to keep abreast of jobs in a particular database; when you get E-mail, consider it a reminder to check the database again. “I would not rely on agents for finding everything that is added to a database that might interest me,” says the author of a job-searching guide. [太好了。我们的思路和作者几乎一致了。]
本段的重心在“辨证使用PSA”。出题点可能就这一个。
Some sites design their agents to tempt job hunters to return. [在“开发PSA－PSA－使用PSA”这个关系里，后两个都讲了，现在讲到开发PSA了]When CareerSite’s agent sends out messages to those who have signed up for its service, for example, it includes only three potential jobs —— those it considers the best matches. There may be more matches in the database; job hunters will have to visit the site again to find them —— and they do. [讲开发者的吸引回访策略1]“On the day after we send our messages, we see a sharp increase in our traffic,” says Seth Peets, vice president of marketing for CareerSite. [又是用别人的话再次论证此策略之成功]
本段是关系式里的头把交椅“开发者”，因此，必然会对其策略出题。
