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）
A few decades ago, many people didn’t drink water outside of a meal. Then beverage companies started bottling the production of far-off springs, and now office workers unthinkingly sip bottled water all day long. Chewing gum, once bought primarily by adolescent boys, is now featured in commercials as a breath freshener and teeth cleanser for use after a meal. Skin moisturizers are advertised as part of morning beauty rituals, slipped in between hair brushing and putting on makeup.

33. Which of the following does NOT belong to products that help create people’s habits?
[A] Tide.
[B] Crest.
[C] Colgate.
[D] Unilever.
题目解析
33.【解析】由题干中“products that help create people’s habits”可定位到第六段“...Tide, Crest, and other products... Creating positive habits is a huge part of improving our consumers’ lives”可知，Tide, Crest and other products 可以帮助顾客养成良好的习惯，而 Unilever 虽然文中有提，但它是公司名称，并不是产品名称。所以 D 项为正确选项。
