29.【答案】C

【解析】本题目为具体细节题。根据题干的关键词oppressiveideology和大写字

母Tronick定位到最后一段的第一句话that之后。本句that后的demands对应题

干的requires，说道“父母应该总是要交流”。正确选项C的constantinteraction

对应原文的alwaysinteracting。干扰项A的fantasies是定位句下一句中的个别词

干扰；选项B的30000words同样是定位句之后的句子中提到的，而且是if的一

个条件句；选项D的concerned是末段首句的concerned，但是偷换概念。

2017年考研英语二真题及答案解析

SectionIUofEnglish试题精析

1.[答案][C]warning

考点：上下文语义理解

解析：空格之后的宾语从句部分“technologyisreplacinghumanworkers.”结合选

项，应该选择warning。其他三项[A]boasting[B]denying[D]ensuring

均不符合此处的语境要求，故均排除。

2.[答案][A]inequality

考点：上下文语义理解

空格单词后面的句意看到了贫富对比，故作为上文对其进行概括关键应选择

inequality。

3.[答案][D]prediction

考点：时态判断

空格之后的内容“holdsthatthefuturewillbeawastelandofadifferentsort，”该定

语从句是对空格词汇的修饰与说明，既然文中用到了will这一个表示将来时态

的助动词，故答案为prediction。

4.[答案][A]characterized

考点：后置定语+固定搭配

one4bypurpolessness。其他三项均不符合，故排除。

5.[答案][B]meaning

考点：句间语义理解

Withoutjobstogivetheirlives5，peoplewillsimplybecomelazyanddepresd.

空格所在句后面的表述与空格前的内容属于并列关系，由逗号连接。答案选择

meaning。[A]wisdom[C]glory[D]freedom这些选项都表示褒义色彩和后

面lazy、depresd矛盾。

6.[答案][B]Indeed

考点：上下文逻辑关系

分析下四个选项可以看出并无体现因果关系故[A]Thus排除，另外instead，

nevertheless表示转折语意，但是上下文逻辑并无体现。故[A]Instead[C]

Thus[D]Nevertheless均排除。

7.[答案][C]working

考点：上下文语义理解

OneGalluppollfoundthat20percentofAmericanswhohavebeenunemployedfor

atleastayearreporthavingdepression，doubletheratefor7Americans.根据上下文

对比的语意对照应该选择working。前面提到unemployed。此处在进行对比，

故选择表示反义呼应的词working。

8.[答案][A]explanation

考点：句内语意理解+固定搭配

somerearchsuggeststhatthe8forrisingratesofmortality，mental-health

problems，andaddicting9poorly-educatedmiddle-agedpeopleisshortageof

well-paidjobs.

9.[答案][D]among

考点：句内语义理解、介词辨析

很明显应该指前者的发生范围。浏览四个选项，among“在....中”表示范围，符合

此处语义需要，故为答案。

10.[答案][C]worryabout

考点：上下文语义理解+句内语义理解

Perhapsthisiswhymany10theagonizingdullnessofajoblessfuture.

11.[答案][C]necessarily

考点：上下文逻辑关系+句内语义理解

Butitdoesn’t11followfromfindingslikethethataworldwithoutworkwouldbe

表示转折语意。doesn'tnecessarily不一定。符合此处语意需

要，故为答案。

12.[答案][B]downsides

考点：上下文语义理解后置定语

Suchvisionsarebadonthe12ofbeingunemployedinasocietybuiltonthe

conceptofemployment.

答案的线索在于空格后面的介词短语，后面提到beingunemployed。这是贬义。

其他选项均不符条件。

13.[答案][A]abnce

考点：词汇复现

Inthe13ofwork，asocietydesignedwithotherendsinmindcould14strikingly

differentcircumstancesforthefutureoflaborandleisure.

14.[答案][D]yield

考点：词汇的一词多义与搭配

Inthe13ofwork，asocietydesignedwithotherendsinmindcould14strikingly

differentcircumstancesforthefutureoflaborandleisure.该空格所选词汇的主语是

asociety宾语是differentcircumstances.根据主谓一致的原则应该选择yield。语

义为：产生。

15.[答案][C]virtue

考点：上下文语义理解

overblown.一词为解题线索。含义：吹散吹倒表贬义。后面的内容Manyjobsare

boring，degrading，unhealthy，andawasteofhumanpotential，”saysJohn

Danaher，alecturerattheNationalUniversityofIrelandinGalway.是对这句话的进

一步解释，结合前后的上下文语义理解，应选择virtue，其他选项均排除。

16.[答案][D]scarce

考点：上下文语义理解

becauleisuretimeisrelatively16formostworkers，peopleutheirfreetimeto

counterbalancetheintellectualandemotional17oftheirjobs.结合常识认知及上下

文理解应该选择scarce。

17.[答案][A]demands

考点：上下文语义理解

根据语义的要求，浏览选项，只有demands符合语义要求。

18.[答案][B]tired

考点：上下文语义理解+常识

“WhenIcomehomefromahardday’swork，Ioftenfeel18，”Danahersays，

adding，“InaworldinwhichIdon’thavetowork，Imightfeelratherdifferent”.

19.[答案][D]into

考点：固定搭配+句内语义理解

perhapsdifferentenoughtothrowhimlf19ahobbyorapassionprojectwiththe

intensityusuallyrervedfor20matters.

“Throwonelfinto......”意思是：一头扎进；投身于，积极从事

20.[答案][B]professional

考点：复现+呼应

perhapsdifferentenoughtothrowhimlfintoahobbyorapassionprojectwiththe

intensityusuallyrervedfor20matters.此处空格处答案和前面的intensity形成

呼应与关联。故此处professional符合语义需要，入选。

21.【答案】A

【解析】由题干中的关键词AccordingtoParagraph1,可以快速的定位到文中的

第一段，第一段讲了每周六大约有五万多人都会在他们当地的公园里跑步，跑步

的年龄跨度之大：从4岁的小朋友到祖父母年纪的人都有；跑步所用的时间跨度

也很大：从世界纪录的13分48秒到一个小时。由此可见，这是一个全民运动，

与A选项的greatpopularity相互对应，所以选A.其他选项，B创造了很多就业

机会；C增强了社会的凝聚力；D成为一个官方的节日；这几个选项原文中都没

有涉及，所以排除。

22.【答案】B

【解析】可以发现原文中第二段第一句话ParkrunissucceedingwhereLondon’s

Olympic“legacy”isfailing与题干中的关键词London’sOlympic“legacy”has

failedto...对应，所以可以锁定文章的第二段，从而找出解题的关键。第二段前半

部分讲了在最初的时候Olympic的目标，然而，事实却事与愿违，...butthegeneral

,thenumbersarenowfallingatanaccelerating

rate.由这句话可以看出，Olympic并没有推动大众的参与性，与预期的目标不符，

所以选择B。

23.【答案】C

【解析】由题干中的关键词ParkrunisdifferentfromOlympicgamesinthat...可以

知道这是想考察Parkrun和Olympic的区别。追溯到原文，可以看到文中的第三

段第一句话：Parkrunisnotaracebutatimetrial.从这句话可以排除A和B，因为

A和B都和竞争有关，D选项可以从这一段的这一句话：thereismuchjoyovera

puffed-outfirst-timerbeingclappedoverthelineasthereis...可知，Parkrun有很多

第一次参加的人，所以排除D.最后可以知道，答案选C，因为parkrun不是比

赛，所以就不重视精英主义。

24【答案】D

【解析】由题干中的关键词thegovernmentsshould...,可以知道，命题人想要考察

的是对于Parkrun这一项大众运动，政府应该做点什么。所以，考生要快速的定

位到原文中有关政府的段落，即第四段，Ifthereisaroleforgovernment,itshould

reallybegettinginvolvedinprovidingcommongoods—makingsurethereisspace

forplayingfieldsandthemoneytopavetennisandnetballcourts,andencouraging

theprovisionofalltheactivitiesinschools.从这里可以知道，作者希望政府能够

为Parkrun提供场所和钱，并针对学校制定相关条例以鼓励全民运动。由此可以

排除A，B，C.最终选择D。

25.【答案】B

【解析】由题干中的关键词theauthor’sattitudetowhatUKgovernmenthavedone

forsport可以再次锁定原文中关于政府的部分，可见这一题与24题是有一定联

系的。第四段一开始作者提出了自己对政府的期许，但是事实上，政府却没有达

到这一期许。Butsuccessivegovernmenthavepresidedoverllinggreenspaces,

squeezingmoneyfromlocalauthoritiesanddecliningattentiononsportineducation.

政府负责卖地，从地方政府压榨金钱，不重视学校的体育运动。可见，此处作者

指责政府的一系列行为，由此可以得出答案nt:宽容的，容忍的；

uncertain：含糊的，不确定的；sympathetic：同情的，赞同的。

26.【答案】B

【解析】由题干中的关键词JennyRadesky,可以快速的定位到文中提到此人物的

第一段第二行，接着题干中说digitalproductsaredesignedto..可以知道，考查的

是数码产品的目的，回归到文中第一段第二行，可知JennyRadesky说了这样一

句话：Techisdesignedtoreallysuckonyouin,anddigitalproductsarethereto

promotemaximalengagement....电子产品就是为了促进最大程度的参与性，由此

可以得出答案B为了吸引用户的注意力。其余选项在JennyRadesky的话中都没

有体现。

27.【答案】D

【解析】由题干中的关键词food-testingexerci,mother’suofdevices.可以快

速的定位到第二段第二行:Shefoundthatmotherswhosueddevicesduringthe

exercistarted20percentfewerverbaland39percentfewernonverbalinteractions

withtheirchildren.从这里可以知道，母亲使用手机会减少20%的语言交流机会，

39%的非语言交流。由此可以得出答案为D.减少了母亲和孩子之间的交流。

28.【答案】D

【解析】本题目是具体细节题。题干中的关键词Radesky和stillfaceexperiment

定位到倒数第三段大写R处，题目问实验一定要找实验结论，结论在本段最后

一句的but之后，这里提到了parentsneedbetoresponsive...to...emotionalneed，

父母需要对情感需求做出回应。正确答案D是原文的原词复现。干扰项A的blank

expressions是原文实验里面的具体内容，非实验表明；选项B是最后一句的个别

词干扰；选项C偷换概念，不是childrenareinnsitive，而是parents。

30.【答案】A

【解析】本题目为文中人物观点的细节题。根据题干中的大写字母Tronick及关

键词kid定位到最后一段的倒数第三句，破折号后面解释了kid’suofscreens

的具体目的。“itgivesparentstimeto...”与正确选项A完全一致，属于原文的原词

复现。干扰项B的creative并未提及；选项C的homework根据原文的houwork

进行干扰，原文是父母有时间做家务，而选项是帮助孩子做作业；选项D的

attentive并未提及。

31.【答案】C

【解析】题目问的是高中毕业生不选择间隔年原因之一是什么。根据题目中的

high-school和gapyear和定位到第一段第一句话。这句话后面一句的afterall可

以知道后面应该是解释理由了，Afterall,ifeveryoneyouknowisgoingtocollege

inthefall,itemssillytostaybackayear,doesn'tit?这句话是说如果大家秋天都

上大学去了，你要是晚了一年看起来有点傻。这个句子等同于C选项中的feel

strangetododifferentlyfromothers，因此选C。

32.【答案】D

【解析】根据题目中的studyfromtheAustraliaandUS可以定位到第三段第一句

话StudiesfromtheUnitedStatesandAustraliashowthatstudentswhotakeagap

yeararegenerallybetterpreparedforandperformbetterincollegethanthowhodo

not.。这句话明确说了有间隔年的学生比没有的要好，好在准备和表现上。所以

A：unrealistic和B：choosingcareer不对。第二句在表现好的更细致地方面进行

了描述：preparingthemforindependence独立性,newresponsibilities责任感and

environmentalchanges环境变化。紧随的破折号后总结说了这是first-yearstudents

一年级学生oftenstrugglewiththemost常常有苦恼的。说明最受益的是大学一年

级学生，而整段都没提过financialburdens，所以C不对。而D中的pressure是

对前面内容的概括性描述，因此答案是D。

33.【答案】A

【解析】这题根据题干中给的信息，到第三段最后一句中去找答案，Gapyear

experiencescan...whenitcomestoadjustingtocollege...,makingiteasierto...rather

thanacclimationblunders.这个句子分两部分，逗号+making分词作状语，从功能

上是解释补充说明前面半句，所以间隔年的好处是能帮助新生调节适应大学，而

不用担心acclimation问题，所以acclimation当然就是适应的意思了。因此A为

正确答案。

34.【答案】D

【解析】文章最后一段第一句提到了consideritsfinancialimpactonfuture

academicchoices。Financial对应题干中的savemoney，而academicchoices学术

选择可以排除A和B。根据最后一段第三句...students...listingonemajorontheir

collegeapplications,butswitchingtoanotheraftertakingcollegeclass.所以第一句

中的academicchoices指的就是转专业的事儿，因此选D。

35.【答案】A

【解析】第二段第一句话Butwhilethismaybetrue,it'snotagoodenoughreasonto

condemngapyears.就用but句说明了全文就是想说间隔年你值得拥有。而选项中

只有A选项infavorof是持正面积极态度的，因此选A。

36.【答案】B

【解析】本题目是原因细节题。根据题干的关键词wildfires和nationalconcern，

以及时间词2015，定位到第二段首句。本句提到US花费了大量的budget，与选

项B中的budget原词复现，high是原文morethan的同义转化，consume同义替

换原文spent。干扰项A的management是首段末句的人物MaxMoritz的职位；

选项C的westernstates是首段首句的though从句内容，和题干无关，属于答非

所问；选项D的infrastructure是原文末尾的破折号里suchas的内容，两个破折

号里面一定不选。

37.【答案】D

【解析】本题目为具体细节题。根据题干的关键词amagnifyingglass和大写字母

Moritz定位到第四段第二句，目的就是最后一句。本句提到“toredirecttho

funds”，基金重新引导，本段首句也提及ahugeproblemfrom...publicexpenditure。

正确答案D的guaranteesaferspending是对这两句的完全概括，讨论公共基金更

好的花费问题。干扰项A提到fund，但未说raimore，添加无关内容；选项B

与原文刚好相反，不是avoid避免；选项C是对原文lower-hazardpartsofthe

landscape的偷换概念。

38.【答案】C

【解析】本题是文中人物观点的细节题。根据题干的关键词climateisakey

element及大写字母Moritz定位到第7段的内容。本句中Moritz提到“shouldnot

comeattheexpenoftheequation”，不以平等的代价而来。正确答案A中的不应

该忽视其他因素是对本句的同义转化与概括。干扰项A的publicdebates来自第

6段的thefocus但未提及ttle的话题，也非本题定位句；干扰项B的conditions

是第6段的最后一句conditionsthatwornfires，偷换动词worn与improving；

选项D的ashiftintheviewof是出现在第五段，时态错误，原文是wouldrequire，

选项是hastakenplace。

39.【答案】D

【解析】本题目为原因细节题。根据题干关键词simplifiedviewMoritz定位到第

8段的首句，“thehumansystemsandthelandscapes...arelinkedandtheinteractions

gobothways”,人类与环境是相联系的，并且是相互作用的。正确答案D的

interactions是原文的原词复现，manandnature同义替换原文的human...and

landscapes。干扰项A原文未提及；选项B的humansystems是原词，但是并无

mechanism偷换概念；选项C的landscape和human是原词出现，但添加无关信

息maximize。

41.40.【答案】B

42.【解析】本题目为文中人物观点的细节题。根据题干的大写字母Professor

Balch和fire，man定位到最后一段的最后一句，“importanttounderstand...human

connectionwithfire”，人与火之间的联系。正确答案B的意思是达成协议，符合

原文。干扰项A的doawaywith是废除；选项C的payapricefor是付出代价；

选项D的keepawayfrom远离。

43.

44.根据题干人名Jay定位文中“They’rehardertofindandtheyhavejoboffers,”他

们很难发现他们有工作邀请。harder对应选项stiff(艰难地)

45.根据题干人名JasonStenquist对应文中“

能，而那些需要很多技能。文中skill对应选项skill（技能）

48.题干问Julie的观点，对应文中“We’veneverhadsomuchattentionfrom

manufacturers.”我从没有得到过这么多来自制造商的注意，attraction对应选项

attract（吸引）

46.翻译答案

我的梦想

我的梦想一直是在时装设计和出版领域找寻一份工作。在我中学毕业的两年

前，我选修了一门“缝纫和设计”课程，并且以为我能再继续学习一个时装设计的

课程。然而，就在这个课程的学习过程中，我意识到，将来在这个领域，我是无

法与那些富于创新精神的精英们相比的。于是，我断定这条路行不通。在申请上

大学之前，我对所有人都讲，我想学新闻学，因为，写作曾经是并且现在也一直

是我最喜欢的事情之一。但是，说实话，我之所以这样说，是因为我认为从事时

装设计不过是我的一个梦想，我也知道，除了我之外，没有人能想象出我会从事

时装设计的工作。

解析

2017年英语二的翻译题是一篇关于梦想的小短文，全文共5句话，前两句话比

较简短且简单，后三句较长，但难度也都不大。第一句话是个简单句，“我的梦

想一直是在时装设计和出版领域找寻一份职业”。第二句话中，condaryschool

是“中学”短语moveonto是“继续做某事，转移到”，全句的意思是“在我中学毕

业的两年前，我曾选修了一门“缝纫和设计”的课程，thinkingthat做了非谓语动

词的结构并且起到伴随状语的作用，翻译为“并以为我能再继续去修一门”时装设

计“的课程”第三句话中，前半句是主语，谓语加宾语从句，后面是so引导的结

果状语从句，duringthatcour是时间状语，I是主语，realid是谓语动词，that

引导宾语从句，其中personalities不能理解为个性，品格，在文中应该指名人，

精英，人才，so引导的结果状语从句中也是主语，谓语加宾语从句的结构，全

句的意思是“然而，就在整个学习过程中，我意识到，我将来在这个领域是无法

与那些富于创新精神的精英人才相比的。于是，我断定这条路行不通”。第四句

话中，Beforeapplyingforuniversity是时间状语，that引导宾语从句，becau引

导原因状语从句，本句的难点在于writingwas,andstillis,oneofmyfavorite

activities这一部分中was和is的翻译方法，表示过去和将来的状态，applyfor

是申请的意思，journalism要翻译成“新闻学”不能直译为“新闻业，新闻工作”，

本句的意思是“在申请上大学之前，我对所有人讲:我想学新闻学，因为，写作曾

经是并且现在也一直是我最喜欢的事情之一。”最后一句主句是主谓宾结构Isaid

it，后面是becau引导原因状语从句，从句中是Ithoughtthat主谓加宾从结构，

此句难点在于fashionandmetogetherwasjustadream的译法，不能直译，要意译

为“我认为从事时装设计不过是一个梦想”，apartfrom是“除了”的意思，结合上

文fashionindustry也可意译为“时装设计”，所以全句的意思是“但是，说实话，

我之所以这样说，是因为我认为从事时装设计不过是我的一个梦想，我也知道，

除了我之外，没有人能想象出我会从事时装设计的工作。”

解析

今年的小作文可谓既特别又不特别。特别之处在于历史上真题从来没有提及过

prentation写法相关的话题被提到且并非直接考察邀请，而是考察对于邀请的

回复；而并不特别的地方在于考察形式非常稳定，依然是书信，这个类别是平时

考生除了拿出10%的精力在告示类题目上之外依然需要90%的精力去复习的内

容。

此书信从内容上看与2012年英语一真题小作文的写法如出一辙，2012年的

真题是要求给留学生提出一些校园生活的建议。而2017年的这一篇非常技巧性

地拐了两个小弯，一个是邀请信不直接考而考察回复的句型，另一个是表面上是

做prentation的准备而实质上在表达上完全是建议信的套路。

从该书信的称呼来看，属于知道对方姓名且知其职业或身份，那么如果写成

DearSirorMadam,或者ToWhomItMayConcern，是不合理的，而且直呼其名

不加头衔也同样不合适，因此要使用DearProfessorWilliams.注意这几个单词全

部都需要大写开头字母。尤其大家直接用笔来写的时候，一定要尽量突出首字母。

该书信首段需要表达对于威廉姆斯教授的邀请的接受，由于考纲明文规定除关键

词外任何字词都最好不要照抄，因此如果为了避免照抄accept这个词，可以首先

表达高兴和荣幸的心情，然后直接说自己一定会好好准备。

第二自然段实际上就是建议信，一般大家都会写对别人的建议，而这封信相当于

给自己写建议，分条列款写出prentation的内容，但是千万不要忘记分别解释

原因，因为如果单纯写内容会是什么而不写原因，会让内容显得非常没有逻辑，

且更加现实的一个理由是，不解释原因很可能导致文章的字数会不够。而考生在

思考具体内容落脚点的时候，应该尽量选取比较简单的词汇和比较好扩展原因的

方面，比如中国的历史文化、饮食文化等等，这样一来我们的文章会更加有话可

说。

而第三段则可以作一个小总结。最后期待一下对方的建议和回复即可。

落款：Yourssincerely,特别提醒sincerely后面逗号不能丢；

签名：LiMing特别注意Ming后面一定不能出现句点。落款和前面左、右对

齐都可以。

解析：

今年的大作文备考方向和我们压的方向完全相同，具体体现在几下几方面。

第一、出题形式。2015年和2016年连续两年考到的是饼状图，所以预测中

我们已经讲到今年第一备选题型为柱状图和折线图（这两种图形属于同一种描述

方式），而今年考得是折线图，正中押题中心。

第二、考试内容：英语二的考试内容一般为社会正向风气的拓展和人数的增

加而今年又正中下怀。此外今年的话题方向其实和真题的出题方向也是一致的，

如2010年发展中-发达国家手机订阅量发展、2011年2008,2009年国内轿车市场

品牌市场份额以及2015年我国某市居民春节假期花销比例的出题方向完全相

同。

第三、下面我们来解析今年的大作文这一部分

首先，拿到图表，我们应该观察其主要特征。在以往课堂中我们讲到柱状图和折

线图主要描写事物变化趋势。所以，第一段第一句话总写图表是关于什么的，第

二三句分写细节。

其次，第二段我们一般进行分析原因论述，为什么会有上图现象。一般会包含两

到三点。

最后一段一般是三种情况，包括总结，解决措施和预测趋势。其中预测趋势最为

简单明了。

具体范文如上，大家可以参考。
