很多同学在考英语的时候，都会出现这样一个现象：某道题做错了，出考场下答案，恍然大悟——“我太马虎了，这题不改错啊!”下面大家就随小编一起去了解一下吧!
英语并不是数学，不会出现6-2=8这样的低级错误。其实，所有的“马虎”都可以归结为“基本功不扎实”。同学们看到了nature 和 nurture 这两个词，觉得是太相似而忽略了本来的意思，“马虎”了。但是这种马虎真的是马虎吗?为什么我们能分得清“泰国”和“秦国”，而分不清nature 和 nurture?原因很简单，因为单词并不熟悉，加上审题不认真，当然会造成这个局面。
其实，在考研英语中，尤其是考研英语阅读中，不是所有题目都考考生的英文语言能力，还有大量的学术能力需要考察，或者说，要考察学生的仔细程度。如果足够仔细，即使英语水平本身有限，也是能够得分的——这也恰恰是那些基础很好的同学失分的地方。
比如，在刚刚结束的考研中，我们是否能够做对这道题呢?
25 which of the following would be the best for the text?
A. less Screening for More Safety
B. PreCheck– a Belated Solution
C. Getting Stuck in Security Lines
D. Underused PreCheck Lanes
这是第一篇阅读理解的最后一道题，看起来好难，因为这是标题题，强迫症做法是把文章再读一遍，或者翻来覆去想这篇文章讲了什么，然后再做答。可是，这就一定做得对吗?我们看一下文章。
First two hours, now three hours — this is how far in advance authorities are recommending people show up to catch a domestic flight, at least at some major U.S. airports with increasingly massive security lines.
Americans are willing to tolerate time-consuming security protocols in return for increased safety. The crash of EgyptAir Flight 804, which terrorists may have downed over the Mediterranean Sea, provides another tragic reminder of why. But demanding too much of air travelers or providing too little security in return undermines public support for the process. And it should: Wasted time is a drag on Americans' economic and private lives, not to mention infuriating.
Last year, the Transportation Security Administration(TSA) found in a secret check that undercover investigators were able to sneak weapons — both fake and real — past airport security nearly every time they tried. Enhanced security measures since then, combined with a rise in airline travel due to the improving economy and low oil prices, have resulted in long waits at major airports such as Chicago's O'Hare International. It is not yet clear how much more effective airline security has become — but the lines are obvious.
Part of the issue is that the government did not anticipate the steep increase in airline travel, so the TSA is now rushing to get new screeners on the line. Part of the issue is that airports have only so much room for screening lanes. Another factor may be that more people are trying to overpack their carry-on bags to avoid checked-baggage fees, though the airlines strongly dispute this.
There is one step the TSA could take that would not require remodeling airports or rushing to hire: Enroll more people in the PreCheck program. PreCheck is supposed to be a win-win for travelers and the TSA. Passengers who pass a background check are eligible to use expedited screening lanes. This allows the TSA to focus on travelers who are higher risk, saving time for everyone involved. TSA wants to enroll 25 million people in PreCheck.
It has not gotten anywhere close to that, and one big reason is sticker shock: Passengers must pay $85 every five years to process their background checks. Since the beginning, this price tag has been PreCheck's fatal flaw. Upcoming reforms might bring the price to a more reasonable level. But Congress should look into doing so directly, by helping to finance PreCheck enrollment or to cut costs in other ways.
The TSA cannot continue diverting resources into underused PreCheck lanes while most of the traveling public suffers in unnecessary lines. It is long past time to make the program work.
25. Which of the following would be the best for the text?
[A] Less Screening for More Safety
[B] PreCheck – a Belated Solution
[C] Getting Stuck in Security Lines
[D] Underused PreCheck Lanes
通过读文章，也许你看得一头雾水，也许根本不知道在说什么，或者你看懂了，但是阅读文章你都了多久?是否有必要?只为了作对一道题，究竟要花费多长时间?两分钟?四分钟?还是八分钟?
为什么不用你的学术型思维来进行解答呢?先看一看其他的题，看出门道了吗?
21. The crash of EgyptAir Flight 804 is mentioned to
[A] explain American’s tolerance of current security checks.
[B] stress the urgency to strengthen security worldwide.
[C] highlight the necessity of upgrading major U.S. airports.
[D] emphasize the importance of privacy protection.
22. Which of the following contributes to long waits at major airports?
[A] New restrictions on carry-on bags.
[B] The declining efficiency of the TSA.
[C] An increase in the number of travellers.
[D] Frequent unexpected secret checks.
23. The word “expedited” (Liner 4, Para. 5) is closet in meaning to
[A] quieter.
[B] cheaper.
[C] wider.
[D] faster.
24. One problem with the PreCheck program is
[A] a dramatic reduction of its scale.
[B] its wrongly-directed implementation.
[C] the government’s reluctance to back it.
[D] an unreasonable price for enrollment.
如果还是没有理解，说明你不具备学术思维。不客气的说，你还不具备读研究生的基本学术素养。那么，什么是学术思维?就是具体问题具体分析。我们不妨用逻辑来进行一个解答，
首先我们看到，24题的题目中有PreCheck这个词，其他选项没有，说明PreCheck在文中应该是后面才出现的，是一种障眼法，直接排除(处女座同学可以去文章当中找一找，是不是前面没有这个词)，只剩下了A. C. 两个选项，然后再想想做题时候，前四道题都隐约提到了与安全有关的内容，但是没有多少什么事情，那么，答案是哪个?只剩下C了。
这样的思维过程，不需要一分钟，即可。这就是不该丢掉的分数。也许，你会觉得这个方法比较悬，还是把文章读完了，题目翻译成汉语，比较“靠谱”。如果是这样的话，我想问你一句，你凭什么认为，你的英语水平能够将文章和题目翻译对呢?有这样的自信吗?你请翻译下面两句话：
To do is to be.
To be is to do.
