2015年考研英语二第四篇阅读答案分析
Part A
Text 4
36题：Which part of the jobs picture was neglected?(工作图的哪个部分被忽视了?) 答案B: The increase of voluntary part-time jobs.
解析：该题属事实细节题。根据“job picture”和“neglected”，我们可以定位到第2段第1、2句：“However, there is another important part of the jobs picture that was largely overlooked. There was a big jump in the number of people who report voluntarily working part-time.”该句的意思是：自愿从事兼职的人数有大幅下降，而这一部分人在很大程度上被忽视了。从neglect与overlook近义词对应的角度来看，很容易确定选项B：The increase of voluntary part-time jobs.
37题：Many people work part-time because they__(许多人从事兼职是因为____) 答案C: cannot get their hands on full-time jobs
解析：该提属分析判断题中的因果分析题。根据“many people”“part-time job”“because”同学们可定位到第3段第2、3句：Many people who work part-time jobs actually want full-time jobs. They take part-time work because this is all they can get.其中第2句话与题干相对应，而第3句则揭示了原因：因为这些人只能获得兼职。换言之，就是他们没办法获得全职工作。由此不难判断，选项C正确： cannot get their hands on full-time jobs 该选项短语“get hands on”表示“获得”与原文中的(all they can) “get”在意义上一致。
38题：Involuntary part-time employment in the US___(美国的非自愿兼职工作____) 答案B: shows a general tendency of decline.
解析：该提属事实细节题。根据“Involuntary part-time employment”可定位到第3段第4句：An increase in involuntary part-time in June, but the general direction has been down. 整句话语义的重点在转折之后，也就是：大致的趋势是在依然下降。B 选项“shows a general tendency of decline”中的general tendency对应原文中的 general direction, 而 decline 与 down相对应.
39题：It can be learned that with Obamacare,___(从Obamacare中我们可以得知_____) 答案B: employment is no longer a precondition to get insurance
解析：该题属事实细节题。答案定位到第5段。第5段的两句话中，第1句表示Obamacare的目的是让无业人士也可以拥有保险。第2句进一步阐释说明，在Obamacare之前，人们想要获得保险必须先获得一份提供保险的工作，而Obamacare改变了这一局面。故答案为B： employment is no longer a precondition to get insurance
40题：The text mainly discusses____(这篇文章主要探讨了_____)
答案A employment in the US
解析：该题为主旨大意题。本文的主题可在归纳各段要点后得出。B选项“兼职工作的分类”以偏概全，仅能概括文章前第2、3段的内容。C选项属细节干扰项，因Medicaid 仅出现在文章结尾。D选项Obamacare’s trouble 与作者立场矛盾。分析各选项，根据排除法得出正确答案A。
