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）
文段一
Davidson's article is one of a number of pieces that have recently appeared making the point that the reason we have such stubbornly high unemployment and declining middle-class incomes today is also because of the advances in both globalization and the information technology revolution, which are more rapidly than ever replacing labor with machines or foreign worker.
短文翻译
Davidson 的文章是最近出现的许多文章之一，这些文章指出，目前，我们的失业率居高不下、中产阶级收入下降，其实也是由于全球化和信息技术革命发展。它们正以空前的速度用机器或者外国工人来取代劳动力。

文段 二
There will always be change—new jobs, new products, new services. But the one thing we know for sure is that with each advance in globalization and the I.T. revolution, the best jobs will require workers to have more and better education to make themselves above average.
In a world where average is officially over, there are many things we need to do to support employment, but nothing would be more important than passing some kind of G.I. Bill for the 21st century that ensures that every American has access to post-high school education.
短文翻译
总会有新工作、新产品、新服务的变化。但有一点我们是肯定的：随着全球化和信息技术革命的每一次进步，最好的工作将需要工人接受更多更好的教育，使自己高于平均水平。
在一个平均水平（足以应对社会竞争）已经正式结束的世界里，我们需要做很多事情来支持就业，但没有什么比通过某种21世纪的G.I.法案来确保每个美国人都有机会接受高中后教育更重要的了。
重点单词
revolution [ˌrevəˈluːʃn]
n.革命; 巨变; 大变革;
officially [əˈfɪʃəli]
