考研英语(二)真题解析精读|英语词汇阅读-每一日练-Day1

考研人数逐年增加,竞争之激烈使得我们不得不加急复习的日程。众所周知,阅读理解占据了考研英语二100分试卷的一半分值,而考研英语阅读文章大多来自英美国家的主流报刊杂志,所以如果能在日常就多多阅读这些文章,对以后读懂文章做对题目来说会大有裨益。

学习步骤如下:

1.不看汉语译文自己看一遍短文做理解

2.看汉语译文比对自己理解的意思与之出入

3.强化记忆重点单词(以记忆其汉语意思为主)


文段一

The researchers from Ohio University used a database that covered more than 10,000 firms and more than 64,000 different directors between 1989 and 2004.Then they simply checked which directors stayed from one proxy statement to the next. The most likely reason for departing a board was age, so the researchers concentrated on those “surprise” disappearances by directors under the age of 70.

短文翻译

俄亥俄大学的研究人员建立了一个资料库,该资料库涵盖 1989 年至 2004 年超过 10000 多家企业和 64000 多位的外部董事。接着他们又核查那些连任的外部董事。研究人员发现离职最大的原因是年龄,因此他们集中研究了 70 岁以下突然离职的董事。

重点单词

director [dəˈrektə(r)]

n.董事

proxy [ˈprɒksi]

n.代理权; 代表权;

(proxy statement指的是(股东的)委托投票说明书,也就是这些大学里的研究人员是通过这个说明书上的人员确定哪个董事会成员(director)从上一份报告持续到下一份报告都还在这家公司)

board [bɔːd]

n.董事会

concentrate on sth.

集中于某事物

文段 II

They found that after a surprise departure, the probability that the company will subsequently have to restate earnings 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. The effect tended to be larger for larger firms. Although a correlation between them leaving and subsequent bad performance at the firm is suggestive, it does not mean that such directors are always jumping off a sinking ship. Often they “trade up,” leaving riskier, smaller firms for larger and more stable firms.

短文翻译

他们发现外部董事意外离开公司后,公司需要重申盈利的可能性增加了近20%。被牵扯到联邦法院所受理的集体诉讼案件中的可能性也随之增加,而且公司在股市的表现也会变得更糟。公司越大,这种影响也就越深。虽然外部董事的离职与随后公司的不佳表现之间的相互关系让人浮想联翩,但这并不意味着外部董事总在公司处于危难时弃之不顾。通常他们会“另谋高就”,离开风险高的小型公司,而选择较为更加稳定的大型公司。

重点单词

subsequently [ˈsʌbsɪkwəntli]

adv.随后; 后来; 之后; 接着

restate [ˌriːˈsteɪt]

v.重申; 重新表述;

earning [ˈɜːnɪŋ]

n.收入

likelihood [ˈlaɪklihʊd]

n.可能; 可能性

lawsuit [ˈlɔːsuːt]

n.诉讼; 起诉

suggestive [səˈdʒestɪv]

adj.暗示的,引发联想的
