[研英真经研习小组][2006][阅读]

这句话主干是it is... ironic ...，when引导状语从句，其中有一个that引导的宾语从句作为consider的宾语，who引导一个非限制性定语从句修饰Shakespeare。
was himself应该是起一个强调作用，翻译过来就是“他本身”的意思。
did his share of noise-making其实也是和前面的was himself起相同的作用，也是个强调。
全句翻译为：当你认识到，为居民创造谋生手段的莎士比亚本身就是一个（留着胡须）的演员，而且也同样在制造着噪音时，这就相当讽刺了。

从答案来看，C是漠然。这种答案几乎不可能选，因为如果作者不关心这个问题，根本就不会写这种文章。B是支持市民。但是就从上面这个句子中的“相当讽刺”就可以看出作者并不赞同市民的观点。A是支持双方，自然也不能选了。最后只有D了。其实同样的，作者全文都在讲市民不喜欢RSC的演员，也不理解为什么RSC需要政府的补贴（实际上这种补贴很少到位），而且也解释了这种原因，以及RSC为市民带来的好处。显然，作者是同情RSC的。
RSC哭穷是因为他们确实穷，作者解释说：虽然上座率高，但是物价飞涨而票价却很低（倒数第二段最后一句）。政府哭穷却是假穷，因为他们一边哭穷一边却有钱拿来大兴土木（倒数第三段）。

我们先把这个句子翻译一下：
“具有讽刺意味的是，他们（当地居民）赖以谋生的莎士比亚本人就是一个留着胡须的演员，当年制造喧闹的事也少不了他的一份。
key 2 Q1：【莎士比亚本人就是一个留着胡须的演员】 oneself是个反身代词，为动词直接宾语或间接宾语的受词，或介词宾语的受词，所以放置的位置我认为不要过于在意，语法是普通使用规则，并不能涵盖所有用法。顺便也提一下，在今后的复习中不要过于死扣语法，否则考试的时候容易陷入死胡同。
key 2 Q2：我把句子改一下也许好理解一下：did share the noise-making或者shared the noise-making，作者只是换了一下说法，用了一种强调的说法，本质上还是为了表达分享或参与了那些“噪声”的制造。
第30题的问题还在于没有把握整篇文章的思想，建议多读，再体会一下，呵呵

回3页29#海豚宝贝：
It is all deliciously ironic when you consider that shakespeare,who earns their living ,was himself an actor (with a beard)and did his share of noise-making.
把句子这样拆分：It is all deliciously ironic when you consider that shakespeare,who earns their living ,was himself an actor (with a beard)and did his share of noise-making.其中，划线部分是做状语。



当你想到……，这真的是一种绝妙的讽刺！

然后，我们看划线部分：when you consider that shakespeare,who earns their living ,was himself an actor (with a beard)and did his share of noise-making.
再次拆分：that shakespeare,who earns their living ,was himself an actor (with a beard)and did his share of noise-making.这是一个宾语从句。

可以把它理解为：that shakespeare,who earns their living ,was himself an actor (with a beard)and did his share of noise-making.
其中，红线部分who earns their living 以及and did his share of noise-making是修饰shakespeare的定语从句，was himself an actor (with a beard).是表语。那么，这句话也可以变为：
that shakespeare,who earns their living ,and did his share of noise-making,was himself an actor (with a beard).
这样，你就可以明白为什么，himself不能放在was前面了。如果放在前面，那么，好像是常常前面要加who。不过，如果加who，此句又不通了。

do one\'s share of sth .意为\"做自己的那份东西.\"

我感觉应该是这样。

第三篇阅读之我见,请海豚帮忙指导
According to their latest paper published in Nature, the biomass of large predators (animals that kill and eat other animals) in a new fishery is reduced on average by 80% within 15 years of the start of exploitation. In some long-fished areas, it has halved again since then.这句话是第32题的考点,其中分别把 long-fished areas和it has halved again since 作为选项出题,这道题我做错了,也是对这两点不理解.
想请问理解这两点的思路是什么?
有起这种计算题,看了就让人糊涂.
32.        We can infer from Dr. Myers and Dr. Worm’s paper that ________.
[A] the stock of large predators in some old fisheries has reduced by 90%
[bthere are only half as many fisheries as there were 15 years ago
[C] the catch sizes in new fisheries are only 20% of the original amount
[D] the number of larger predators dropped faster in new fisheries than in the old
还有其他题目的解体思路,请海豚给看看对不对路子,十分感谢

31.        The extinction of large prehistoric animals is noted to suggest that ________.
[A] large animal were vulnerable to the changing environment本聚居意正确,也符合原文,但是不适合本题,它的提出是文章的引子,不是作者的写作目的,所以不选
[B] small species survived as large animals disappeared本剧本身不正确也不符合原文意思,因果关系完全不对
[C] large sea animals may face the same threat today这是文章的写作目的,也是引用史前例子的原因
[D] slow-growing fish outlive fast-growing ones本题的考点是对outlive的理解,本据本身不正确,考察的对The large, slow-growing animals were easy game, and were quickly hunted to extinction. 的理解.这句话做的时候不理解在were easy game但通过下半句大概知道意思,生长慢的动物容易灭绝.

33.        By saying these figures are conservative (Line 1, paragraph 3), Dr. Worm means that ________.这道题看上去是道细节题,但是却是道全文题,因为该段是总分结构,问总句的含义如果从分局角度解释通常都不全面,所以要从全文考虑
[A] fishing technology has improved rapidly这道题定位容易,且此段是总分形式,后面的内容是对these figures are conservative的解释,a选项是部分原因
[B] then catch-sizes are actually smaller then recorded考察对so the real difference between present and past is likely to be worse than the one recorded by changes in catch sizes的理解.这句话我没理解,但大概只道,这只是局部信息
[C] the marine biomass has suffered a greater loss附和文章主旨.
[D] the data collected so far are out of date不是过时了,是还有另外因素没考虑,下文给出reason,One reason for this

34.        Dr. Myers and other researchers hold that ________.定位第四段细节题
[A] people should look for a baseline that can’t work for a longer time相反
[B] fisheries should keep the yield below 50% of the biomass不准确不是below而是about
[C] the ocean biomass should restored its original level错误 the biomass of a target species is about 50% of its original levels
[D] people should adjust the fishing baseline to changing situation考察对They believe the data support an idea current among marine biologists, that of the “shifting baseline.”的理解
35.        The author seems to be mainly concerned with most fisheries’ ________.定位Most fisheries are well below that, which is a bad way to do business.对代词that的考察,
[A] management efficiency
[B] biomass level
[C] catch-size limits
[D] technologincal applicatio
呵呵,终于全弄完了,谢谢海豚,帮忙给看看

06年第一篇文章4题我不知道正确答案的原因！

41楼已有回复，欢迎大家补充

回34楼

第三篇阅读之我见,请海豚帮忙指导
According to their latest paper published in Nature, the biomass of large predators (animals that kill and eat other animals) in a new fishery is reduced on average by 80% within 15 years of the start of exploitation. In some long-fished areas, it has halved again since then.这句话是第32题的考点,其中分别把 long-fished areas和it has halved again since 作为选项出题,这道题我做错了,也是对这两点不理解.
想请问理解这两点的思路是什么?
有起这种计算题,看了就让人糊涂.
32. We can infer from Dr. Myers and Dr. Worm’s paper that ________.
[A] the stock of large predators in some old fisheries has reduced by 90%
[bthere are only half as many fisheries as there were 15 years ago
[C] the catch sizes in new fisheries are only 20% of the original amount
[D] the number of larger predators dropped faster in new fisheries than in the old

句子你明白了，是要做一个计算题，是吧？
那我们看看都有哪些要计算的因素
“a new fishery is reduced on average by 80% ”和“it has halved again since then”，这一段话里，是不是只有这两地方和计算有关呢？
然后我们来看选项有哪些可以排除的：
A、这个好像原文中没有提到，我们先放在一边；
B、提到了我们说的和计算有关的两个因素的其中之一，那么他不完全，不完全的话就不能选，对不对？咱们的计算害怕出错，所以先不算，但是我们也是知道的，要计算的话一定要包括刚刚我们挑选出来的两个因素（不知道海豚的这段话你能不能理解）
C、也是只包含了我们的两个因素中的一个，不要它
D、没有什么触犯到我们的两个因素，留着，(*^__^*) 嘻嘻……

然后我们再来比较A、D，计算题，依然不会，看看D，D说的是“in new fisheries than in the old”。里边有一个比较，可是我们在原文里可以看到这一部分只有提到new fisheries ，对不对？

所以就这样，D也被排除掉了，我们选A
出题的人不一定是要我们来做一个数学题的
