Even those who aren't hunting for jobs may find search agents worthwhile.
搜索代理甚至对那些不找工作的人也有价值。
本句暗含的意思：SA对找工作的人很有价值。
1. How did Redmon find his job?
[A] By searching openings in a job database.
[B] By posting a matching position in a database.
[C] By using a special service of a database.
[D] By E-mailing his resume to a database.
由于没读文章，所以我们不知道R是如何找到工作的，但至少应和SA有关。
看四个选项中的动词：search, post, use, E-mail，能和SA发生关系的只有
use，所以选C。
5. Which of the following is true according to the text?
[A] Personal search agents are indispensable to job-hunters.
[B] Some sites keep E-mailing job seekers to trace their demands.
[C] Personal search agents are also helpful to those already employed.
[D] Some agents stop sending information to people once they are
employed.
本题的C与我们读的这句几乎一样，考研阅读中有这样一个原则，没有哪个选项
是因为太接近原文而被排除的，所以选C。

The humiliation continues.
耻辱的感觉还在继续。
本句暗含的意思：本文的主题(Topic)，是讲一种耻辱。
7. What can we infer from the first three paragraphs?
[A] In both East and West, names are essential to success.
[B] The alphabet is to blame for the failure of Zoë Zysman.
[C] Customers often pay a lot of attention to companies' names.
[D] Some form of discrimination is too subtle to recognize.
在四个选项中找与耻辱有关的词，马上找到discrimination，选D。另外，
像A、B、C这样的选项是很典型的就事论事的选项，不读文章也能分辨得出。

Many folks see silver linings to this slowdown.
面对这种衰退，人们看到了一线希望。
本句暗含的意思：从绝望中寻找希望。
11. By "Ellen Spero isn't biting her nails just yet"(Line 1, Paragraph 1), the
author means_____.
[A] Spero can hardly maintain her business
[B] Spero is too much engaged in her work
[C] Spero has grown out of her bad habit
[D] Spero is not in a desperate situation
由于是第一句，既可以是文章主旨，也可以是首句陷阱（后面有But），所以
本题A、D都有可能。但根据常识，咬指甲表示紧张，所以选D的可能性更大。
12. How do the public feel about the current economic situation?
[A] Optimistic.
[B] Confused.
[C] Carefree.
[D] Panicked.
本题首先排除“永陪选项”B、C，剩下A和D。现在要用另一条原则：考研
阅读的文章，态度绝大多数是积极乐观的，尤其当谈到经济的时候。
“看到一线希望”，应该不至于恐慌吧，所以选A。
15. To which of the following is the author likely to agree?
[A] A new boom, on the horizon.
[B] Tighten the belt, the single remedy.
[C] Caution all right, panic not.
[D] The more ventures, the more chances.
找从绝望中寻找希望的意思，选C。
Text 4
School remains a place where intellect is mistrusted.
学校仍在排斥对智力的培养。
本句暗含的意思：学校原来就这么干的。
16. What do American parents expect their children to acquire in school?
[A] The habit of thinking independently.
[B] Profound knowledge of the world.
[C] Practical abilities for future career.
[D] The confidence in intellectual pursuits.
本题选C。原则三：考研文章，常常找两个东东，让它们打架。
如：intellectual Vs practical; scientists Vs "untaught minds"; right-to-life
Vs right-to-die; businessmen Vs consumers——关键看作者是哪头儿的。
17. We can learn from the text that Americans have a history of_____.
[A] undervaluing intellect
[B] favoring intellectualism
[C] supporting school reform
[D] suppressing native intelligence
本题选A。
20. What does the author think of intellect?
[A] It is second to intelligence.
[B] It evolves from common sense.
[C] It is to be pursued.
[D] It underlies power.
根据mistrusted，就能选C。
读了四句话，得了18分，效果还可以
