吐血整理历届考研英语(二)真题及答案详解(2010-2013)

吐血整理历届考研英语（二）真题（2010-2013）【使用说明】本人亲身经历了考研的旅途，深感对于英语（二），研友们最缺的就是真题，因为专硕产生不久，参考人数却呈爆发式增长；而相对英语（一），市面上不易买到英语（二）的真题资料，给考生带来不便。即使是网上的一些版本也是七拼八凑，错误连篇。本着传承爱心的理念，本人特整理2010-2013年真题及参考答案，供学弟学妹们复习。本版本真题的一大特点是完全按照考研真题的格式、字体、字号、行间距排版，每套真题12页，建议使用时采用A4纸双面印刷，以最大限度模拟考场实际效果。（市面上的真题大多为了节约纸张，缩小了字体和行间距，和考场真题有一定差距，若长期用市面版本做练习，上了考场可能不习惯：例如完型填空，考场真题第一页是完型文章，选项一般从第二页开始，需要翻页，给考生造成不便，考生需提前习惯这种不便！而市面上的真题大多文章选项就在一页，做习惯了反而会不利于考场发挥！深有体会，切记切记）对于真题的使用方法，有以下几点需要说明：不要盲目做真题！那是浪费资源！英语（二）开考以来就这四套真题，希望大家节约使用！其他的模拟题、英语（一）真题、样题都没这四套值价！不信对比着做几套就知区别！专硕真题是宝藏，它就是我们确切意义上的指南！建议大家采用一下介绍的“六遍法”，以最大限度榨干真题价值！（每遍适当间隔一段时间效果会更好）第一遍：严格按照考试时间，创造最贴近考试的环境来完成真题。第二遍：摘抄生词，长句进行记忆分析，进一步熟悉文章，正面分析正确选择项，使自己的思路初步贴近出题人的思路。看答案的时候最好不要看相关的分析，因为这样可能会让自己的思路跟着出书人跑。另外，你需要对出的题目有一个分类了，例如细节题目，作者态度题目，例证题目，文章主旨题目等等，为以后的进一步总结应对策略打下基础。第三遍：反面分析错误选择项（至关重要！）主要应该主要从4个方面着手：对比正确选项和错误选项，找出其差异所在。在知道了为什么正确答案为什么正确的基础上找出错误的原因，出题人为什么要用这个错误选项来迷惑我们——用的是偷换概念还是以小代大？同意互换的修饰成分是否遗漏？作者观点题目答案给的是不是有出题人主观倾向以及这种倾向是不是可以作为规律来对待？等等等等。二、把错误选择项带到原文中，看看出题人是怎么把作者意图和事实歪曲的。关于这点你可以分析完10篇来一个总结，你会很惊奇的发现：原来每道题目错误选项的来路是这么的相似！以后再见到这种错误选项的时候很大程度上你就能感觉到什么应该是正确的什么是错误的了（这就是你和出题人思路的接近过程）。三、把握绝对和相对的关系，找出错误选项代表性的词汇。很多辅导班老师会这么告诉你：包含some，perhaps，appromately，about，seems等词汇的选择项一般都是正确的，而包含certainly，extremely等绝对的一般都是错误的。这个可以当成一个一般的原则来应用，但是我要求你们并不是简单的把这类词汇给看到然后就直接的判断出其正确性或者错误性，我们现在是打基础，必须对自己从严要求，我们应该这样做：找出代表性词汇后进行汇总，根据肯定否定的语气轻重来把它们进行排序，然后回到题目看看出题目的人是怎么把作者不太肯定的语气给“硬化”的（老外很少说绝对，中国人经常说绝对）。四、把自己当成出题人来思考（换位思考）。你需要把自己放到出题人的角度来对待错误选项，因为错误选项都是很熟悉中国人思维的专家出的，因此，你如果单纯的从自己（考生）的角度思考错误选择项，很可能会百思不得其解，而在把我原文的基础之上把自己看成出题人情况就会很不同。这是提高你考试能力的一个很重要的方法，到你经过一系列的训练，能从出题人的思路把握选择项的时候，你就是真正的知彼知己，从而就很容易的达到百战不殆了。第四遍：回到文章中去，把自己上一遍的思路“代入”到文章中去，分析一下出题人是怎样把题目出出来的，具体思考以下几个问题：一、体会出题人为什么会在这个地方出题目而不在其他地方出题目？二、其它地方是不是可以出题目？三、如果让你出题目你会怎样来出？四、自己试着出上几道题目，比较一下和出题人的差距，进一步体会出题人出题目的把戏。第五遍：再次像第一遍那样去做题目，总结出题技巧以及自己的应对策略。当然，答案你已经非常清楚了，这里只是让你再次体验一下真题的“魅力”所在。总结出题技巧并不是让你将来有可能去出题目，只是再此深化贴近出题人思维方式这个思路，争取达到自己看到一篇文章在看题目之前就大致知道体会出在什么地方（完全可以达到）。应试策略和前面几遍的分析是分不开的，前面的工作做好了，你就是不进行应试策略的专门总结也没有问题，例如例证题目，你完全可以自己就总结出来90%向上，10%向下找答案的思路等等。第六遍：这一遍选择应用，首先，可以适当做一点市场上的模拟试题应用下自己总结出来的方法，看一下是不是自己的思路和出书人的差不多，不一样完全没有关系，因为到现在你的试题研究的水平可能比出书人还要高，你的思路更加贴近将来的06年真题！其次，适当的选用自己认为比较好的模拟试题，你可以在做完题目之后用挑剔的木管来“修正”它们，进一步使自己的应试技巧和策略得到深化。最后给大家一点个人的建议：英语没必要报辅导班，尤其是专硕英语，靠自己才是王道！虽然辅导班天花乱坠的宣传台词催生了如火如荼的考研经济，但就我个人的经历来说，不要太指望辅导班。认真研究着几套真题，再归纳联系一下各类型的作文，考研英语没问题的！预祝大家取得好成绩，并在考研路上有所收获！2010年全国硕士研究生入学统一考试(英语二)试题SectionIUseof
