2011mba英语真题阅读部分详解

 


阅读部分
    考生都应该知道“得阅读者得英语”,今年的阅读出题情况又如何呢?总体来说,文章都不是特别好懂,而且出题比较刁钻,难度较大,我和几位老师在做完之后,也发现其中有2道题我们自己之间也争议不小。但是难归难,如果各位考生可以很好的贯彻我们老师的思路的话,得到大部分的分数还是没有问题的。现在我们来每篇分析一下。
Passage 1
        这篇文章谈的是外部董事的职责和作用的。前四题看似都很好定位,但是却建立在真正读懂文章的基础上。
    第一题的出题句是“But by the end of 2009, Ms. Simmons was under fire for having sat on Goldman’s compensation committee; how could she have let those enormous bonus payouts pass unremarked?”,这句话看似和钱有关,于是很多考生都会错选A. gaining excessive profits。而其实她被批评是因为没有起到一个补偿委员会成员的监管作用,让大量的钱莫名其妙的流失了。所以答案是B. failing to fulfill her duty。这题如果考生记住了我说的转折词后面是出题点的话,至少答案定位不会错,只要读懂句子就可以作对。
    而第二题较简单,定位句很明显“Outside directors are supposed to serve as helpful, yet less biased, advisers on a firm’s board. Having made their wealth and their reputations elsewhere, they presumably have enough independence to disagree with the chief executive’s proposals.”所以答案是D.independent advisers凡是选A.unbiased executives的同学都属于把我的话当耳旁风,插入语是不会出答案的。
    第三题定位词很明显是Ohio University,于是找到出题句“They found that after a surprise departure ,the probability that the company will subsequently have to restate earning increases by nearly 20%.The likelihood of being named in a federal class-action lawsuit also increases ,and the stock is likely to perform worse.”除了A选项没有干扰性之外,B、D都很有欺骗性,错选B的考生是句子结构没有看懂,因为increase不是earning的谓语,而是主句的谓语,原文意思是“需要再次审核工资的可能性增加了”并不是涨工资,更何况后面的两个并列成分说的都是不好的情况,前面怎么可能是涨工资呢。而D是增加概念形错误选项,原文说的是公司更容易卷入官司,输还是赢不知道,而D变成了官司更容易输,牛头不对马嘴。所以答案是C.do less well in the stock market。
    第四题先说我的“反面思路”之“缓和语气”就算文章不懂,也应该至少听我讲过有缓和语气的选项要选,所以答案是A.may stay for the attractive offers from the firm。而文中定位也很明显“Firms who want to keep their outside directors though times may have to create incentives. ”就是说要那些董事留下来,一定要有刺激,而选项有个替换及用“offers”替换了“incentives”,可见单词还是很重要,今年的考生们一定要尽早准备单词。
    第五题是态度题,根据我讲的思路,只有B和D有可能,而我的正面思路是态度题,首段加尾段,尾段更重要,再加上前面的四道题,作者一直在说公司没有外部董事会怎么样以及如何留住他们,可见态度是积极的,答案是B. positive。
Passage 2
        这篇文章的主题是报业的衰退,题目较规范。
    第一题,我讲过句子推断题的思路是出题句不读,前后句,前句是“The recession threatened to remove the advertising and readers that had not already fled to the internet.”后句是“America’s Federal Trade Commission launched a round of talks about how to save newspapers.”都体现了报业的危在旦夕,所以答案毋庸赘言是D. were in a desperate situation。
    第二题,关键词所在句都在讲报业要如何降低成本,比如减少记者等,所以第二题答案也较简单是B. newspapers wanted to reduce costs。
    第三题,找到定位词日本后,可以看到这句“American papers have long been highly unusual in their reliance on ads. Fully 87% of their revenues came from OECD. In Japan the proportion is 35%. Not surprisingly, Japanese newspapers are much more stable.”所以答案也很明显是[C] are less dependent on advertising。
    第四题,依然是转折词出题原则“But completeness is no longer a virtue in the newspapers business.”所以答案是[B]Completeness is to blame for the failure of newspapers.而A、C根本没有提到,D也是偷换概念,不是读者没兴趣,而是作者不想写,所以答案是B,我再次强调,推理题是戴着镣铐跳舞,不是下发挥,文中一定是有影子的。
    第五题,正面思路是手段加尾段找交集,文中说报业不景气,但并没用彻底绝望,所以答案是A.American newspapers: Struggling For Survival,还在“夹缝中求生存”。
Passage 3
        这篇文章主题是美国的建筑风格,题目争议较大,出题思路不是很好。
    第一题,细节题,出题点是“During the Depression and the war, Americans had learned to live with less, and that restraint, in combination with the postwar confidence in the future, made small, efficient housing positively stylish.”所以答案比较明显是(C) restraint and confidence。
        第二题,阅读量很大,出题点是who like other people associated with the Bauhaus, a school of design, emigrated to the United States before World War II and took up posts at American Architecture schools, These designers came to exert enormous influence on the course of American architecture, but none more so than Mies.此句说大量的来自德国的设计师影响了美国的建筑课,可见(D) It had a great influence upon American architecture。没有什么问题。
    第三题,定位词是“elegance”,于是找到“Mies's sophisticated presentation masked the fact that the spaces he designed were small and efficient, rather than big and often empty.”这句话可以得出结论答案是(C) was not reliant on abundant decoration,不依赖于复杂的装饰。
    第四题,再次印证我说的转折句出题点“But they were popular because of their airy glass walls,the views they afforded and the elegance of the buildings’ details and proportions,the architectural equivalent of the abstract art so popular at the time.” 这句话清楚的体现了答案是(D) They shared some characteristics of abstract art。
    第五题,我们有些争议,但我觉得文中这句话已经说明了一切问题“Aesthetic effect came from the landscape,new materials and forthright detailing”,后面有关机器普及的描写是Ralph没有预料到的(mispredict),不过是补充而已,所以我觉的答案就是(B) Natural scenes were taken into consideration。
Passage 4
        这篇文章有关欧盟的不稳定,题目较难,需要注意。
    第一题,比较明显,出题点是“Now even the project’s greatest cheerleaders talk of a continent facing a “Bermuda triangle” of debt, population decline and lower growth.”可见答案是B: even its supporters begin to feel concerned。其他三个选项出题段根本没有。
    第二题,欺骗性很强,出题句是“It is stuck because the euro zone’s dominant powers, France and Germany, agree on the need for greater harmonization within the euro zone, but disagree about what to harmonies.”这句话说的很清楚,主要的2个国家不知如何达到和谐,所以选C: fail to reach an agreement on harmonization。但是说实话,我在另一个版本的真题中看到D选项的最后一个单词是integration,如果真题是如此的话,其实答案应该是D: disagree on the steps towards integration,在这里,考官故意将harmonization替换成了integration(统一就是和谐),如果真是这样,这题估计很多学生会失分。
    第三题,较简单,出题句很明显,“Germany thinks the euro must be saved by stricter rules on borrowing, spending and competitiveness, backed by quasi-automatic sanctions for governments that do not obey.”所以答案是B: stricter regulations be imposed。
    第四题,需要理解,出题句是“Translated, that means politicians intervening in monetary policy and a system of redistribution from richer to poorer members, via cheaper borrowing for governments through common Eurobonds or complete fiscal transfers.”简言之就是要把钱再次分配。从富国到穷国,所以答案是A: poor countries are more likely to get funds。注意,我的反面思路又可以用了likely是缓和语气,需要加以选择。
    第五题,又是态度题,思路同第25题,答案出题句是“It is too soon to write off the EU. It remains the world’s largest trading block.”可见这是一篇神龙摆尾的文章,所以答案是D: hopeful,也可以用三一原则,只有D是褒义的,其他三个都是贬义的,A悲观,B绝望,C自负。
Passage 5
        这篇文章让我大跌眼镜,居然要选的全是句子,没办法用语法猜,但好在定位词很清楚,就是五个人名,相信大家做全对没有什么问题,有问题,可以和我个别交流,我在这里就不做详解了。
三、翻译部分
    今年的翻译考试主题是信息业和碳排放,出的比较中规中矩,只要把我讲的翻译技巧全部掌握好,就算有一两个单词不认识,不会影响全篇的得分,大家可以放心,只要你写出来的文章像中文,让考官读得懂,得到一个满意分数不难。
四、写作部分
    今年写作让我们也吃惊不小,居然连续两年考书信和图表作文,但这对于学生倒是好事,书信考得是祝贺信,比较简单,而且与我们讲义上的范文几乎一样,问题不大,满分也不是奢望,图表作文(柱状图)我系统班和模串班都讲了,只要背过我给的动态模板,问题就不大。但是这给我们敲响了警钟,很多同学都觉得今年不会考图表了,结果继续考,如果有谁没有接受我的忠告,投机取巧,很有可能偷鸡不成蚀把米,我们不能再抱着一个投机的心态了,一定要一步一个脚印。
    考试已经结束了,不管大家考的怎么样,都木已成舟,只要过去的一年你努力了,就请相信自己,会成功的。我也希望告诫今年要考MBA的同学们,现在的MBA考试大方向虽然不变,但是很明显,单词要求越来越高,尤其是阅读和翻译中体现的很明显,现在这个阶段一定要吧单词的基础夯实,所谓兵马未动粮草先行,只有基础打好了,我将来给大家的完型,阅读,翻译,写作的方法技巧你们才可以操作的游刃有余,才能在最后的考试中胸有成竹,而立于不败之地。
    而对于已经考完的学生们,我很高兴过去的一年可以认识大家,与大家一起度过了很多个痛并快乐着的日子。就算考完感觉不好,也请不要灰心丧气,因为MBA考试的结果经常是柳暗花明又一村的,好好放松和犒劳一下自己,备考MBA的经历会成为你人生中的一笔财富,考上与否,你都是成功的,相信大家在未来的人生道路上一定会谱写出更加华美的乐章。
