2017考研英語二閱讀文章源文分析

　　今年的四篇閱讀難度相對往年有所下降，題目容易定位，選項的設置比較直接，無需過多思考，同義替換詞匯也不算難。今天就帶大家來看下今年的4篇文章出自哪些英文報刊雜志?出題者對其做了怎樣的改編?

　　四篇文章分別選自TheGuardian (衛(wèi)報), ScientificAmerican (科學美國人), Huffington Post (赫芬頓郵報)，The Christian Science Monitor( 基督教科學箴言報)。文章的日期分別為2015年7月5日，2016年6月25日，2016年7月1日，2016年6月28日，一般都是近一兩年的文章，大多為當年6月或7月份的文章，因此今后在復習的過程中大家也可以多閱讀當年中旬各雜志中相對貼近生活的文章，為閱讀考試奠定扎實的`基礎。

　　Text 1 Parkrun

　　原文本身也僅有558字，刪減了一小部分，兩處詞匯改動后成為閱讀理解的Text 1. Parkrun 很流行，網上搜索會發(fā)現(xiàn)很多國家都為此建有專門的網站。讓我想起近幾年各大城市舉行的馬拉松比賽，有個朋友只要能報上名都會參加，每次都跑完全程，拿到了紀念獎牌，也是一件蠻有意義的事情，至少他的堅持和毅力真得讓人佩服。

　　Every Saturday morning,at 9am, more than 50,000 runners set off to run 5km around their local park.The Parkrun phenomenonbegan with a dozen friends and has inspired 400 events in the UK and moreabroad. Events are free, staffed by thousands of volunteers. Runners range fromfour years old to grandparents; their times range from AndrewBaddeley’s world record 13 minutes 48seconds up to an hour.

　　Parkrun is succeeding whereLondon’s Olympic “legacy” is failing. Ten years ago on Monday, it wasannounced that the Games of the XXX Olympiad would be in London. Tony Blair told the InternationalOlympic Committee that London had the power to motivate “millions more youngpeople in Britain and across the world”. Planning documents pledged thatthe great legacy of the Games would be tolever(level) a nation of sport lovers away from their couches. Thepopulation would be fitter, healthier and produce more winners. It has nothappened. The number of adults doing weekly sport did rise, by nearly 2 millionin the run up to 2012 – but the general population was growing faster. Worse,the numbers are now falling at an accelerating rate. The opposition claimsprimary school pupils doing at least two hours of sport a week have nearlyhalved. Obesity has risen among adults and children. Official postmortemscontinue as to why London 2012 failed to “inspire a generation”. The success ofParkrun offers answers.

　　Parkrun is not a race but a timetrial: your only competitor is the clock. The ethos welcomes anybody. There isas much joy over a puffed-out first-timer being clapped over the line as thereis about top talent shining. The Olympic bidders, by contrast, wanted to getmore people doing sport and to produce more elite athletes. The dual aim wasmuddled: the stress on success over taking part was intimidating for newbies(newcomers). Parkrun started with a 5km loop of apark and a watch. The Olympic plans were replete with platitudes, a few tens ofmillions in funding, at least 88 regional and national coordinators, reps andpartnerships, and jargon promising “more accountability for delivery of keytargets”, improvement “mechanisms” and support “based on best practice”. Allthis was well-intentioned, and some money and initiatives meant that somesports clubs did get useful ideas and resources. But bound tomes and managementtiers devised by civil servants have sucked the life out of the aim:galvanising individuals to challenge themselves, get fitter and healthier, andfeel better about themselves.

　　Indeed, there is something alittle absurd in the state getting involved in the planning of such afundamentally “grassroots” concept as community sports associations. If thereis a role for government, it should really be getting involved in providingcommon goods – making sure there is space for playing fields and the money topave tennis and netball courts, and encouraging the provision of all theseactivities in schools. But successive governments have presided over sellinggreen spaces, squeezing money from local authorities and declining attention onsport in education. Instead of wordy, worthy strategies, future governmentsneed to do more to provide the conditions for sport to thrive. Or at least notmake them worse. ThenParkrunners and anybody inspired to cycle to work, try tennis or form aneighbourhood football club can simply get on with doing it.

　　Text2 kids’ screen use

　　這篇文章的主題很顯然也是近幾年特別熱議的一個話題，每對父母肯定都為此感到焦慮。但要知道孩子對screen的依賴一是他們處在這樣的一個時代不可避免的，另外父母自身也對孩子造成了很大的影響。這篇文章告訴我們孩子會因為父母沉溺于screen無暇及時給予回應會讓孩子陷入極度的不安之中。當然孩子偶爾玩一會也能讓父母解放出來去處理一些自己的事情，放松自己。電子產品也并不是猛如虎，只不過父母們要合理使用，正確引導吧!

　　這篇文章本身超級長，所以只把考試選取部分所在的兩節(jié)挑選出來。為了編輯成為適合考試長度的文章，刪減力度還是蠻大的。
