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）
The pattern was observed by political scientist Andrew Hacker in the late 1970s. Sociologist Catherine Kohler Riessman reports in her new book Divorce Talk that most of the women she interviewed—but only a few of the men—gave lack of communication as the reason for their divorces. Given the current divorce rate of nearly 50 percent, that amounts to millions of cases in the United States every year – a virtual epidemic of failed conversation.
短文翻译
20世纪70年代末,政治学家安德鲁·哈克对这种模式进行了观察。社会学家凯瑟琳·科勒·里斯曼在她的新书《离婚谈》中提到,她采访的大多数女性——但只有少数男性——认为缺乏沟通是造成她们离婚的原因。鉴于当前的离婚率接近50%,也就是说美国每年有数百万的离婚案件一这实际上是一种沟通失败导致的“流行病”。

[B] nearly 50 percent of recent divorces are caused by failed conversation

题目解析
28.【解析】本题是细节题中的排除题，此类题题干往往缺乏信号词，所以需要根据答案中的关键词回到文章中定位。选项 B 可定位到文章第三段尾句：Given the current divorce rate of nearly 50 percent...，经比照可发现原文只是提到“目前美国离婚率为 50%”，但没有说“50%”的离婚率是由沟通失败造成的，所B项错误，是本题正确答案。A、D均可定位到文章第二段首句：although American men tend to talk more than women in public situations, they often talk less at home.所以 A、D 两项是正确的。选项C可以定位到第四段第二句：Instead, they focused on communication,故C项也正确。
*本题选择的是唯一一个错误的选项，注意all of the follwing are true except 题型！
