计划说明
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。但是对大多数备考的同学来说，刚开始投入复习，就去读考试文章难度的新闻报刊，也是不现实、并且不符合循序渐进的学习规律的，所以我们会在每次推送中，给大家给出两篇短文，一篇是初阶水平（大致在初高中水平）；一篇是高阶水平（四六级到考研水平）；同学们可以根据自己当前的情况，选择其中一篇进行学习。
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）
初阶文段

高阶文段
Meanwhile, states like Texas and Iowa, which had already put up barriers for women seeking abortions,tried to use the pandemic as a cover to further erode health care access for women by claiming the procedure was nonessential, a determination contradicted by leading health organizations.America has the highest maternal mortality rate in the developed world(a number that rises significantly for people of color),and in addition to taking steps to combat this disgraceful problem,we should actually take into account the considerable risk that comes with pregnancy and childbirth and the long-term implications for those who are forced to become moms when they’re not ready.
短文翻译
与此同时，德克萨斯、爱荷华等已经为寻求堕胎的女性设置了障碍的州，还企图用疫情做掩护，从而进一步侵蚀女性获得医疗保健服务的机会，他们声称这一程序并非必要，与主要卫生组织的看法截然相反。美国是发达世界孕产妇死亡率最高的国家（其中，有色人种占比尤为明显），除了采取措施解决这一丢人的问题之外，我们还应考虑怀孕和分娩带来的巨额风险，以及强行让那些没有准备好的女性提前走上为人母的道路会给她们带来的长期影响。
