2019考研英语二阅读理解第四部分考的是塑料有关的题目，小编为大家提供2019考研英语二阅读理解真题及答案解析text4，一起来看看吧！

Arnold Schwarzenegger, Dia Mirza and Adrian Grenier have a message for you: It’s easy to beat plastic. They’re part of a bunch of celebrities staring in a new video for World Environment Day-encouraging you, the consumer, to swap out your single-use Plastic staples to combat the plastic crisis.
If only I’d realized that we can buy our way out of the problem except we can’t.
The key messages that have been put together for World Environment Day do include a call for governments to enact legislation to curb single-us plastics. But the overarching message is directed at individuals: Lead with your wallets.
The problem of perpetuating this individualistic narrative is that it's not going to get us very far and the plastics crisis we face is immense. Our oceans are blighted by the stuff. It's in our drinking water (including bottled water), and we could even be breathing it in.
I'm not dismissing individual actions like ordering straw-free drinks at bars, or opting for a reusable water bottle over a cup that's going in the trash as soon as you've used it. I can't imagine not at least trying to minimize my own plastics footprint, whether it's lugging home my newly-refilled gallon bottle of washing-up liquid every few months, or buying packaging-free food, clothing and t...

American farmers have been complaining of labor shortages for several years now. Given a multi-year decline in illegal immigration, and a similarly sustained pickup in the U.S. job market, the complaints are unlikely to stop without an overhaul of immigration rules for farm workers.
Efforts to create a more straightforward agricultural-workers visa that would enable foreign workers to stay longer in the U.S. and change jobs within the industry have so far failed in Congress. If this doesn’t change, American businesses, communities and consumers will be the losers.
Perhaps half of U.S. farm laborers are undocumented immigrants. As fewer such workers enter the U.S., the characteristics of the agricultural workforce are changing. Today’s farm laborers, while still predominantly born in Mexico, are more likely to be settled, rather than migrating, and more likely to be married than single. They are also aging. At the start of this century, about one-third of crop workers were over the age of 35. Now, more than half are. And crop picking is hard on older bodies.
One oft-debated cure for this labor shortage remains as implausible as it has been all along: Native U.S. workers won’t be returning to the farm.
In a study published in 2013, economist Michael Clemens analyzed 15 years of data on North Caroli...

Forests give us shade, quiet and one of the harder challenges in the fight against climate change. Even as we humans count on forests to soak up a good share of the carbon dioxide we produce, we are threatening their ability to do so. The climate change we are hastening could one day leave us with forests that emit more carbon than they absorb.
Thankfully, there is a way out of this trap—but it involves striking a subtle balance. Helping forests flourish as valuable "carbon sinks" long into the future may require reducing their capacity to sequester carbon now. California is leading the way, as it does on so many climate efforts, in figuring out the details.
The state's proposed Forest Carbon Plan aims to double efforts to thin out young trees and clear brush in parts of the forest, including by controlled burning. This temporarily lowers carbon-carrying capacity. But the remaining trees draw a greater share of the available moisture, so they grow and thrive, restoring the forest's capacity to pull carbon from the air. Healthy trees are also better able to fend off bark beetles. The landscape is rendered less combustible. Even in the event of a fire, fewer trees are consumed.
The need for such planning is increasingly urgent. Already, since 2010, drought and beetles have killed mor...

2019年考研英语二阅读理解第一部分讲的是情绪有关的内容，小编为大家提供2019考研英语二阅读理解真题及答案解析text1，一起来看看吧！

Unlike so-called basic emotions such as sadness, fear, and anger, guilt emerges a little later, in conjunction with a child’s growing grasp of social and moral norms. Children aren’t born knowing how to say “I’m sorry”; rather, they learn over time that such statements appease parents and friends—and their own consciences. This is why researchers generally regard so-called moral guilt, in the right amount, to be a good thing: A child who claims responsibility for knocking over a tower and tries to rebuild it is engaging in behavior that’s not only reparative but also prosocial.
In the popular imagination, of course, guilt still gets a bad rap. It evokes Freud’s ideas and religious hang-ups. More important, guilt is deeply uncomfortable—it’s the emotional equivalent of wearing a jacket weighted with stones. Who would inflict it upon a child? Yet this understanding is outdated. “There has been a kind of revival or a rethinking about what guilt is and what role guilt can serve,” Vaish says, adding that this revival is part of a larger recognition that emotions aren’t binary—feelings that may be advantageous in one context may be harmful in another. Jealousy and anger, for example, may have evolved to alert us to important inequalities. Too much happiness (think mania) can be destructive.

Unlike so-called basic emotions such as sadness, fear, and anger, guilt emerges a little later, in conjunction with a child's growing grasp of social and moral norms. Children aren't born knowing how to say "I'm sorry”; rather, they learn over time that such statements appease parents and friends - and their own consciences. This is why researchers generally regard so-called moral guilt, in the right amount, to be a good thing.
In the popular imagination, of course, guilt still gets a bad rap. It is deeply uncomfortable - it's the emotional equivalent of wearing a jacket weighted with stones. Yet this understanding is outdated. "There has been a kind of revival or a rethinking about what guilt is and what role guilt can serve," says Amrisha Vaish, a psychology researcher at the University of Virginia, adding that this revival is part of a larger recognition that emotions aren't binary -feelings that may be advantageous in one context may be harmful in another. Jealousy and anger, for example, may have evolved to alert us to important inequalities. Too much happiness can be destructive.
And guilt, by prompting us to think more deeply about our goodness, can encourage humans to make up for errors and fix relationships. Guilt, in other words, can help hold a cooperative species together. It is a kind ...

2019年考研英语已经结束了，小编为大家提供2019考研英语二阅读理解真题综合解析，希望以后考研的同学注意细节，一起来看看吧！
2019考研英语二阅读理解真题综合解析
首先，从题型分布来看，阅读理解共六大题型，2019年四篇文章的二十道题目，例证题没考，全文主旨题一道，态度题两道(包括一个全文态度，一个细节态度)，词义句意题一道，推断题两道(都是细节推断)，细节题十四道。从题型分布来看，仍然是细节题占多数比例，达到了百分之七十，再次印证了考研英语阅读与大学英语四六级阅读的区别，那就是精读为主，细节至上!这也告诉2020年即将参加考试的考生们一定注重英语基本功，注重细节，一切投机取巧想走捷径的想法都不可以有，踏踏实实看懂文章细节内容很重要!
其次，从四篇文章的题材内容来看，第一篇是关于道德内疚感的，研究人员认为让孩子们具有内疚感是件好事，可以有助于他们的道德发展，第二篇是关于California’s Forest Carbon Plan的问题，如何利用森林来吸收二氧化碳的排放以达到保护环境的作用。第三篇是美国农场主抱怨劳动力短缺以及如何解决劳动力短缺的问题，第四篇是关于如何倡导人们少使用塑料来保护环境的问题。总的来说，除了第一篇关于moral guilt的相对比较抽象之外，其他三篇文章的内容都不算生僻，可以说都是社会普遍关注的热点问题，所以，对于考生们也不会造成理解上的很大障碍。而且，从2014年开始，考研阅读理解的四篇文章，至少一篇涉及经济，一篇涉及法律，这都是必考题材内容，值得一提的是，这些文章都来自较近的英美期刊杂志内容，时效性很强，如果考生平时多留意多读一些英美的期刊杂志，比如美国的基督科学箴言报，经济学人，自然 ，科学美国人，华盛顿邮报，纽约时报，时代周刊，英国的卫报等，就能够多了解一些背景知识，对于考试中的答题有很大的辅助作用。值得一提的是从17年开始，美国的日报基督科学箴言报 成为我们阅读文章的重要来源之一，还希望考生们格外注意。因此，坤坤老师建议2020年即将参加考试的考生们平时多读上面提到的期刊杂志，为自己储备大量的丰富的背景知识，以备考试之需!
最后说说关于答题方法和技巧的问题。虽然考生们会觉得今年英语二的阅读文章有些难，但其实每一道题目的解答都可以按照我们平时所讲的解题方法一一对应，得到答案。也就是根据每一道题目中的关键提示词先确定是哪一种题型，根据此题型的解题方法回到文章中找到正确定位句子，对定位句子进行细致准确的分析，然后去四个备选答案中逐一比对，找到与定位句子相匹配的选项，此选项可以是定位句子的同意替换，可以是正话反说或者反话正说，也可能是定位句子的概括总结。以2019年英语二阅读理解第一篇23题为例，该题属于具体细节题，根据题干关键词Vaish hold that rethinking about guilt 定位到第二段第四句“她补充道，在某种情况下可能有利的得情绪在另一种情况下是有害的”，后面具体例子，嫉妒和愤怒可能演变成提醒我们注意重要的不平等。正确答案B的emotion是原文feelings的同义替换，can play opposing roles是原文的advantageous in one context may be harmful in another 的同义转化。干扰项B的context-independent独立于环境和原文提及不同的环境情...

A new study suggests that contrary to most surveys, people are actually more
stressed at home that at work. Researchers measured people’s cortisol, which is
stress marker, while they were at work and while they were at home and found it
higher at what is supposed to be a place of refuge.
“Further contradicting conventional wisdom, we found that women as well as
men have lower levels of stress at work than at home,” writes one of the
researchers, Sarah Damaske. In fact women even say they feel better at work, shenotes, “It is men, not women, who report being happier at home than at work.”
Another surprise is that the findings hold true for both those with children and
without, but more so for nonparents. This is why people who work outside the
home have better health.
What the study doesn’t measure is whether people are still doing work when
they’re at home, whether it is household work or work brought home from the
office. For many men, the end of the workday is a time to kick back. For women
who stay home, they never get to leave the office. And for women who work
outside the home, they often are playing catch-up-with-household tasks. With the
blurring of roles, and th...

What would you do with 590m? This is now a question for Gloria Mackenzie, an 84-year-old widow who recently emerged from her small, tin-roofed house in Florida to collect the biggest undivided lottery jackpot in history. If she hopes her new-found for tune will yield lasting feelings of fulfillment, she could do worse than read Happy Money by Elizabeth Dumn and Michael Norton.
These two academics use an array of behavioral research to show that the most rewarding ways to spend money can be counterintuitive. Fantasies of great wealth often involve visions of fancy cars and extravagant homes. Yet satisfaction with these material purchases wears off fairly quickly what was once exciting and new becomes old-hat; regret creeps in. It is far better to spend money on experiences, say Ms Dumn and Mr Norton, like interesting trips, unique meals or even going to the cinema. These purchases often become more valuable with time-as stories or memories-particularly if they involve feeling more connected to others.
This slim volume is packed with tips to help wage slaves as well as lottery winners get the most "happiness bang for your buck." It seems most p...
