【英二】2010年考研英语阅览真题及解析【第二篇】(英二2010新题型)
passage2注解:标题为赤色,翻译为蓝色,分析为绿色。????????i was addressing a small gathering in a suburban(address a small gathering在一个小型集会上的说话,address在这儿的意思是“宣告讲演,发布说话”) virginia living room—a womens group that had invited men to join them. throughout(throughout整个时期) the evening one man had been particularly talkative(爱说话的,善谈的), frequently offering ideas and anecdotes, while his wife sat silently beside him on the couch(沙发。【1】couch是指那种像床相同可以睡的沙发,可以说成睡椅。sofa是泛指那种带扶手和靠背的沙发。【2】couch沙发,coach教练,辅导). toward the end of the evening i commented that women frequently complain that their husbands dont talk to them. this man quickly nodded in agreement(nod in agreement答应标明附和). he gestured toward his wife and said, the room burst into laughter(burst into laughter爆宣告笑声。这个短语在讲故事类,或许记叙文中呈现的比照多。); the man looked puzzled and hurt.
????????this episode(episode 标明电视剧里的一集,接连剧中的某一集。但在这儿是指日子中的某一集,也就是日子中的小插曲,某个小场景) crystallizes((使)结晶,(使)清楚化{文章取这个意思} .crystal水晶) the irony that although american men tend to talk more than women in public situations, they often talk less at home. and this pattern(图像,图样,方法{文章取这个意思。是指前面说到的美国男人说话方法})?is wreaking havoc with(wreak havoc with构成严峻损坏)?marriage.
????????the pattern was observed by political scientist andrew hacker in the late 1970s. sociologist catherine kohler riessman reports in her new book that most of the women she interviewed—but only a few of the men — gave lack of communication as the reason for their divorces. given(这儿翻译成:思考到) the current divorce rate of nearly 50 percent , that amounts to millions of cases in the united s
tates every year — a virtual epidemic(盛行病。尽管长得跟上一段的episode插曲很像)?of failed conversation.
????????in my own research complaints from women about their husbands most often focused not on tangible(清楚的,真实的) inequities such as having given up the chance for a career(这儿是指自个的作业生计)?to accompany a husband to his or doing far more than their share of daily life-support work like cleaning, cooking, social arrangements and errands(errand差事,跑腿). instead they focused on communication: i found as hacker observed years before that most wives want their husbands to be first and foremost conversational partners but few husbands share this expectation of their wives.
????????in short the image that best represents the current crisis is the stereotypical(呆板形象的) cartoon scene of a man sitting at? the breakfast table with a newspaper held up in front of his face, while a woman glares at the back of it, wanting to talk.

三、阅览答案:a c b d b四、全文翻译:?????????在弗吉尼亚的一个会客厅里,我对来这儿参加小型集会的我们宣告了一篇讲演,尽管这是一个女人组织的集体,但也聘请了一些男性参加进来。整个晚上,有一个男性体现地特别善谈,他时不时地供给一些点子和奇闻轶事,可是他的老婆却恬静地坐在他周围的沙发里。就在那晚的集会快要结束的时分,我谈论到,女人常常诉苦自个的丈夫不好她们交流。而这位男性很快答应标明附和我的观念。他向老婆做了个手势说:“在家里,她就是个话匣子。”登时,房间里爆宣告笑声,而他却看起来很利诱还有点受伤。他说明到:“这是真的,当我下班回到家里,我觉得没有啥话可说。假定不是她一向和我说话,咱们会在缄默沉静中度过一个夜晚。”
????????这个小插曲形象地体现了这样一个讥讽的表象:尽管美国男性在公共场合体现得比女人更善谈,但在家里他们却很少交流。这一说话方法给婚姻构成了很大的损害。
????????在二十世纪七十年代后期政治社会家安德鲁·海克就调查到了这一方法。凯瑟琳·科勒·里斯曼在她的新书《离婚对话》中叙说到,她采访的大大都女人都将短少交流视为她们离婚的理由,而只需少量男性认同这一点。思考到当前近50%的离婚率,这就意味着美国每年会有上百万的离婚事例——这本质上是交丢掉利而致使的盛行病。
????????在我自个的研讨中,女人对丈夫的诉苦一般都与真实的一些不公正无关,比方说,扔掉她自个的作业而陪同丈夫,或许做了许多额定的例如打扫清洁、煮饭和交际组织之类的家务。相反,这些诉苦都与交流有关:?辉敢馇闾保8辉敢夂臀医涣鳌薄U绾?嗽谛矶嗄昵8鞑榈降南嗤曳⑾郑滓彩亲钪匾模蟠蠖祭掀哦计谕煞虮涑伤墙涣鞯陌槁拢墒呛芟∮姓煞蚨岳掀偶挠柘嗤钠谕?br>
????????简而言之,最能描绘当前危机的是这样一幅呆板形象的卡通画,一个男人坐在早餐桌旁,手捧报纸在读,报纸遮住了自个的脸,而老婆则生气地盯着报纸的不和,很想和他说话。
