刚从10G的战场下来，无奈之下准备考研。虽然阅读水平不算很高，但自认经过G的训练，对英文文章的结构和思路有了一定的掌握，考研英语阅读应该没什么问题。今天无意看了一下男朋友买的星火的考研英语阅读精选100篇（2005版）-马德高主编的，真是巧到了极点，这个大师在16页收录的一篇文章居然是GRE的NO.6的section4的一篇文章。本来一阵兴奋，作完他的题之后立刻有要晕倒的感觉。我觉得很不可理解，中国人的思维怎么是这个样子？里面有两道题和GRE这篇文章的题目一摸一样，答案也几乎一样，可惜的是这个大师居然那么有勇气否定了GRE文章的正确答案。大家先看看：
14.The author implies that,after certain territories and countries had been joined into an interdependent market system in the nineteenth century,depressions of farmland within that system____
A. spread to several nations, excluding those in which the internal frontier remained open
B.manifested themselves in several nations, including those in which new land remained available for farming
C.slowed down the pace of new technological developments in international communications and transportation
D.affected the local and national prices of the nonagricultural products of several nations

The author implies that,after certain territories and countries had been joined into an interdependent market system in the nineteenth century,depressions of farmland within that system____
A. spread to several nations, excluding those in which the internal frontier remained open
B.manifested themselves in several nations, including those in which new land remained available for farming C.slowed down the pace of new technological developments in international communications and transportation
D.affected the local and national prices of the nonagricultural products of several nations
E.encouraged several nations to sell more of their agricultural products on foreign markets
马德高的答案是D。而正确答案是B。（黑体）
这道题的答案太明显了，直接从文章就能找到，而马大师居然给了一个让我快要吐血的解释：因为农产品价格的变化必须影响非农产品的价格，文章虽然没说但合乎常理，所以选D这种典型的发散的毫无根据的中国式推断式思维怎么会在考研辅导“大师”的笔下出现，这是典型的不了解作者的写作思路和目的。
第二道题
马德高
15. The author provides information concerning newly farmed lands in the United States as evidence in direct support of which of the following?
A.a proposal by Frederick J. Turner that was later disputed by Jogn D.Hicks
B.an elaboration by Jogn D.Hicks of a thesis that formerly had been questioned by Frederick J. Turner.
C.the thesis that important changes occurred in the nature of international trade during the second half of the nineteenth century.
D.the view that the Amereican frontier did not become closed during the nineteenth century or soon thereafter.

The author provides information concerning newly farmed lands in the United States as evidence in direct support of which of the following?
A.a proposal by Frederick J. Turner that was later disputed by Jogn D.Hicks
B.an elaboration by Jogn D.Hicks of a thesis that formerly had been questioned by Frederick J. Turner.
C.the established view that was disputed by those scholars who adopted the thesis of Frederick J.Turner
D.the thesis that important changes occurred in the nature of international trade during the second half of the nineteenth century.
E.the view that the Amereican frontier did not become closed during the nineteenth century or soon thereafter.
马德高给的答案是C，而正确答案应该是GRE中的E。（黑体）
他这个错误也太弱智了，看看文章开头先提出了一个理论，然后紧跟一个however，那后面的evidence显然就是用来反驳这个理论的，明显就是选最后一个答案。他居然拐弯抹角，选了个D，既发散又跨区，典型的中国思维，根本不懂文章结构和老美的行文方式 |
