2017考研英语阅读理解考点总结（四）

考研英语文章出题出现的类型，一种比较常见的是首段首句式，也叫开门见山式，另外一种就是转折式，经常由 yet, but, however, on the contrary, as a matter of fact, in fact, actually 等这样的转折标志词引出。这样的标志词前后的意思通常是相反的，而作者会偏重其中的后者。因此，在阅读过程中看到转折词，考生英该习惯性的做上标记以方便做题时候的查找。此外，转折处也是体现作者观点和文章主题的地方，作者经常通过先抑后扬的办法在转折词之后才明确提出自己的观点。比如，2012年的这篇真题：

Come on—Everybody’s doing it. That whispered message, half invitation and half forcing, is what most of us think of when we hear the words peer pressure. It usually leads to no good—drinking, drugs and casual sex. But in her new book Join the Club, Tina Rosenberg contends that peer pressure can also be a positive force through what she calls the social cure, in which organizations and officials use the power of group dynamics to help individuals improve their lives and possibly the world.

21. According to the first paragraph, peer pressure often emerges as_______.

[A] a supplement to the social cure

[B] a stimulus to group dynamics

[C] an obstacle to school progress

[D] a cause of undesirable behaviors

文章在but之后提出了一个最新观点：But in her new book Join the Club, Tina Rosenberg contends that peer pressure can also be a positive force... 从而我们可以判定这个新观点既是下文所要论述的主题。这样的地方往往会成为考题的命题重点。考生应掌握这一规律，在看到文中出现转折的内容时，应当特别注意。另外，如果是在文章首段出现转折标志词，则转折后所表述的内容通常为文章的中心主旨。但是，提醒大家不要一味的形成定式思维，一定要看清题目要求，比如上题问According to the first paragraph, peer pressure often emerges as.根据第一段，同辈压力经常作为什么出现。所以你需要寻找的答案是通常情况下怎样，定位句应该在转折句之前，即：It usually leads to no good—drinking, drugs and casual sex.它通常导致不良行为出现，答案选D。

总之，考研英语文章阅读量偏大大，逻辑结构复杂但有严谨，且有规律可寻，所以大家一定要关注重点考点位置，学会抓主题抓关键点，从而正确定位答案出处，准确判断!新文道教育与你同在!
