2015考研英语一真题深度解析阅读Text1.docVIP

2015考研英语一真题深度解析：阅读Text1 2015年这篇阅读文章的选择依然延续了考研英语选材的一贯做法，选自2014年6月4日《卫报》上一篇名为Is the writing on the wall for all European royals?（所有欧洲皇室注定要失败吗？）的文章。主要讨论了西班牙胡安·卡洛斯国王退位这一事件对欧洲诸多皇室的影响，尤其是对英国皇室的影响。总体来说，作为今年阅读题型的第一篇，文章在内容上难度稍大，尤其是里面涉及到了一些人名、地名的专有名词以及非常地道的英式习语表达等等。但是，如果纯就题目来说的话，难度倒不是很大，答案的出处也比较容易找到。接下来就文章具体的题目来进行深入的解析。 　　21、According to the first two paragraphs, King Juan Carl of Spain 　　[A] used to enjoy high public support 　　[B] was unpopular among European royals 　　[C] ended his reign in embarrassment 　　[D] cased his relationship with his rivals 　　答案：[C] ended his reign in embarrassment 　　解析：题目中明确提到答案的范围是在前面两段，而关键词又是King Juan Carl of Spain，那么根据关键词可以主要定位到第一段。在第一段中，对于King Juan Carl of Spain这个人的主要描述就是King Juan Carlos of Spain once insisted kings don’t abdicate, they die in their sleep.
