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）
If you look hard enough, you’ll find that many of the products we use every day – chewing gums, skin moisturizers, disinfecting wipes, air fresheners, water purifiers, health snacks, teeth whiteners, fabric softeners, vitamins – are results of manufactured habits. A century ago, few people regularly brushed their teeth multiple times a day. Today, because of shrewd advertising and public health campaigns, many Americans habitually give their pearly whites a cavity-preventing scrub twice a day, often with Colgate, Crest or one of the other brands.
短文翻译
如果你观察得足够仔细,你会发现我们每天使用的许多产品都是“制造习惯”的产物,比如口香糖、润肤乳、消毒湿巾、空气清新剂、净水器、健康零食、牙齿美白剂、织物柔软剂、维生素等。一个世纪以前,很少有人每天有规律地刷好几次牙。今天,由于精明的广告宣传和公共卫生运动,许多美国人习惯性地每天刷两次他们像珍珠一样白的牙齿以防止龋齿,他们通常用的就是高露洁、佳洁士或某个其他品牌。

*一定要做题哦
32. Bottled water, chewing gum and skin moisturizers are mentioned in Paragraph 5 so as to______.
[A] reveal their impact on people’s habits
[B] show the urgent need of daily necessities
[C] indicate their effect on people’s buying power
[D]manifest the significant role of good habits
题目解析
32.【解析】本段属于典型的举例段落，根据例证题的解答思路，本题答案应该在上段寻找。阅读上段信息得知后两句同样在举例子，所以本题目的最终定位应该是第四段的首句：If you look hard enough, you’ll find that many of the products we use every day„are results of manufactured habits，由此得知“许多产品的使用都是被制造出的习惯”，因此举诸多产品为例目的就是阐述“人们很多习惯的改变”，所以 A 项为正确答案。 B 项中的 urgent need 在文中没有体现，C 项中的 buying power 在文中也没有体现，此两项属无中生有。D 项中的 good habits 显然是错误的标志，作者只是客观阐述产品对人们习惯的影响，没有评论这些习惯的好坏。
