Ⅰ 14年考研英語難嗎
我這里有14年英語一兩篇閱讀真題，你看看吧，或許對你有幫助

In order to 「change lives for the better」 and rece 「dependency」, George Osborne, Chancellor of the Exchequer, introced the "upfront work search" scheme. Only if the jobless arrive at the job centre with a CV, register for the online job search, and start looking for work will they be eligible for benefit—and then they should report weekly rather than fortnightly. What could be more reasonable?
More apparent reasonableness followed. There will now be a seven-day wait for the jobseeker』s allowance. 「Those first few days should be spent looking for work, not looking to sign on.」 he claimed, 「We』re doing these things because we know they help people stay off benefits and help those on benefits get into work faster.」 Help? Really? On first hearing, this was the socially concerned chancellor, trying to change lives for the better, complete with 「reforms」 to an obviously inlgent system that demands too little effort from the newly unemployed to find work, and subsidises laziness. What motivated him, we were to understand was his zeal for 「fundamental fairness」—protecting the taxpayer, controlling spending and ensuring that only the most deserving claimants received their benefits.
Losing a job is hurting: you don』t skip down to the job centre with a song in your heart, delighted at the prospect of doubling your income from the generous state. It is financially terrifying, psychologically embarrassing and you know that support is minimal and extraordinarily hard to get. You are now not wanted; you are now excluded from the work environment that offers purpose and structure in your life. Worse, the crucial income to feed yourself and your family and pay the bills has disappeared. Ask anyone newly unemployed what they want and the answer is always: a job.
But in Osborneland, your first instinct is to fall into dependency—permanent dependency if you can get it—supported by a state only too ready to inlge your falsehood. It is as though 20 years of ever –tougher reforms of the job search and benefit administration system never happened. The principle of British welfare is no longer that you can insure yourself against the risk of unemployment and receive unconditional payments if the disaster happens. Even the very phrase 「jobseeker』s allowance」 is about redefining the unemployed as a 「jobseeker」 who had no fundamental right to benefit he or she has earned through making national insurance contributions. Instead, the claimant receives a time-limited 「allowance」, conditional on actively seeking a job: no entitlement and no insurance, at £71.70 a week ,one of the least generous in the EU.
21. George Osborne』s scheme was intended to
[A] provide the unemployed with easier access to benefits.
[B] encourage jobseeker』 s active engagement in job seeking.
[C] motivate the unemployed to report voluntarily.
[D] guarantee jobseekers』 legitimate right to benefit.
22. The phase 「to sign on」(Line 3,Para.2)most probably means
[A] to check on the availability of jobs at the job centre.
[B] to accept the government』s restrictions on the government.
[C] to register for an allowance from the government.
[D] to attend a governmental job-training program.
23. What prompted the chancellor to develop his scheme?
[A] A desire to secure a better life for all.
[B] An eagerness to protect the unemployed.
[C] An urge to be generous to the claimants.
[D] A passion to ensure fairness for taxpayers.
24. According to Paragraph 3, being unemployed makes one feel
[A] uneasy.
[B] enraged.
[C] insulted.
[D] guilty.
25. To which of the following would the author most probably agree?
[A] The British welfare system inlges jobseekers』 laziness.
[B] Osborne』s reform will rece the risk of unemployment.
[C] The jobseekers』 allowance has met their actual needs.
[D] Unemployment benefits should not be made conditional.

All around the world, lawyers generate more hostility than the members of any other profession—with the possible exception of journalism. But there are few places where clients have more grounds for complaint than America.
During the decade before the economic crisis, spending on legal services in America grew twice as fast as inflation. The best lawyers made skyscrapers-full of money, tempting ever more students to pile into law schools. But most law graates never get a big-firm job. Many of them instead become the kind of nuisance-lawsuit filer that makes the tort system a costly nightmare.
There are many reasons for this. One is the excessive costs of a legal ecation. There is just one path for a lawyer in most American states; a four-year undergraate degree in some unrelated subject, then a three-year law degree at one of 200 law schools authorized by the American Bar Association and an expensive preparation for the bar exam. This leaves today』s average law-school graate with $100,000 of debt on top of undergraate debts. Law-school debt means that they have to work fearsomely hard.
Reforming the system would help both lawyers and their customers. Sensible ideas have been around for a long time, but the state-level bodies that govern the profession have been too conservative to implement them. One idea is to allow people to study law as an undergraate degree. Another is to let students sit for the bar after only two years of law school. If the bar exam is truly a stern enough test for a would-be lawyer, those who can sit it earlier should be allowed to do so. Students who do need the extra training could cut their debt mountain by a third.
The other reason why costs are so high is the restrictive guild-like ownership structure of the business. Except in the District of Columbia, non-lawyers may not own any share of a law firm. This keeps fees high and innovation slow. There is pressure for change from within the profession, but opponents of change among the regulators insist that keeping outsiders out of a law firm isolates lawyers from the pressure to make money rather than serve clients ethically.
In fact, allowing non-lawyers to own shares in law firms would rece costs and improve services to customers, by encouraging law firms to use technology and to employ professional managers to focus on improving firms』 efficiency. After all, other countries, such as Australia and Britain, have started liberalizing their legal professions. America should follow.
26. A lot of students take up law as their profession e to
[A] the growing demand from clients
[B] the increasing pressure of inflation
[C] the prospect of working in big firms
[D] the attraction of financial rewards
27. Which of the following adds to the costs of legal ecation in most American states?
[A] Higher tuition fees for undergraate studies
[B] Receiving training by professional associations
[C] Admissions approval from the bar association
[D] Pursuing a bachelors degree in another major
28. Hindrance to the reform of the legal system originates from
[A] the rigid bodies governing the profession
[B] lawyers』 and clients』 strong resistance
[C] the stern exam for would-be lawyers.
[D] non-professionals』 sharp criticism
29. The guild-like ownership structure is considered 「restrictive」 partly because
[A] prevents lawyers from gaining e profits.
[B] bans outsiders』 involvement in the profession.
[C] aggravates the ethical situation in the trade.
[D] keeps lawyers from holding law-firm shares.
30. In the text, the author mainly discusses
[A] the factors that help make a successful lawyer in America.
[B] a problem in America』s legal profession and solutions to it.
[C] the role undergraate studies in America』s legal ecation.
[D] flawed ownership of America』s law firms and its causes.
Ⅱ 2014年考研英語真題閱讀A難度如何
看你水平了。難者不會，會者不難。

Ⅳ 2014年考研英語一難嗎
2014考研英語一不難。
考研英語復習計劃：
1、重點是考研詞彙、基本語法，同時內，閱讀理解訓容練也要開始。語法等不會有什麼變化，詞彙每年大綱雖然有所修訂，但變動不大，因此找本前一年的《大綱》先看著。有許多同學正好在這一階段考CET6級，由於6級和考研難度大致相當，詞彙量也差不多，所以可以結合起來復習。
2、詞彙方面，應該在已經大體掌握意思的基礎上，開始深入掌握用法，尤其是固定搭配和習慣用法。另一個重點是解決長難句，掌握各種句式。同時要加大閱讀量，一方面提高閱讀能力，另一方面也通過閱讀來鞏固語法、詞彙和句式。本階段必須進行相當量的題型專項練習，通過做題來鞏固。
3、沖刺復習階段的重要任務也有兩個，一是進行大量模考練習，二是強化訓練短文寫作。對短文寫作的強化，首先要對可能的命題范圍作出預測。考研英語作文命題不會冷僻，不會很專業，通常都與學習生活緊密聯系，或反映當前社會熱點問題。例如保持健康、如何讀書、環境保護、亂承諾等都曾是出題范圍。了解到這些大概范圍後，有意識地多閱讀一些相關文章，熟悉有關觀點、句式、詞彙，多動筆寫寫，在考場上就可成竹在胸。
Ⅳ 2014年英語考研閱讀是不是很簡單
2014年考研英語考試閱讀整體難度持續穩定
我發現70%的考生認為今年考研英語整體的難度是穩中稍微有點偏容易的，有20%的考生認為很難，最後剩下10%的考生難度是適中的。通過這樣簡單的調查可以看出，這背後會有一個樣本量的問題。今年的考試整體而言第一感覺，整體上從完形填空最後到作文，看完以後，最強烈的感覺，我們的難度非常穩定，考研英語的考試，在整體的15年的過程當中，一直都保持著。雖然說他每年在題型上，或者說在題目的這種設計上，或者在文章的選取上有一點點不同，整體而言已經是一個難度非常穩定的選拔性的考試。如果說大家感覺到這個題目做完了以後，感覺到這個題目是偏簡單了一點，你可以問問自己，是哪個地方相對來說偏簡單了，整體上從閱讀的這四篇文章具體來看，我認為其中難度是非常非常穩定的，這是跟今天大家交代的第一件事情。為什麼這么說？因為在考試之前，同學們肯定也曾經做過歷年的真題，我們會發現這十年選取的這些文章，文章本身的難度而言，確實有的文章會復雜一點，看完一遍兩遍之後，不知道他到底要說什麼，而有的文章相比來說偏簡單一些，把這個文章整體讀完了以後好簡單，迅速把握住了這篇文章的主線，發現整體這篇文章的主旨和態度到底在什麼地方。
題目選項另有玄機
但是，如果說做完了後面的題目，再對完了答案之後，會驚訝的發現，難的文章，後面的題目說不定對的還比較多，這樣一些簡單的文章，你會發現後面的題目依舊是保持很難的規律，也許會說是不是因為讀簡單文章的時候，警覺性相對來說降低了，所以出來的分數是低的，不是這樣的。這是通過對於近15年真題的每一道題目的難度系數的研究，你會發現每一篇文章的難度系數基本上是穩定的，考研命題專家基本上是控制在45%在55%之間，什麼意思呢？就是如果每篇文章，我們按照一百分的滿分來看，平均分值是會在45到55之間，文章本身你做完了以後的難易程度，跟後面的率不一定成一個正相關的關系。
細節題佔主體位置
為什麼這樣？通過後面整個2014年考過的這20道題目來看，具體把這20道題目進行一個分類、歸納、整理，我們會發現70%的題目，都是涉及到文章當中的某一個具體的細節，比如說細節題在整體的考研閱讀當中占據了一個舉足輕重的地位。70%的題目是細節題，說明什麼問題？說明把握住文章當中的一些具體信息的能力，是至關重要的，是重中之重的。換句話說，如果整個這篇文章，讀下來，發現這篇文章並沒有給它讀的非常的明白和透徹，是否會影響到我們後面的解題？一定會在某種程度上影響，但是會不會帶來一個致命性的影響？絕對不會，也就是說這70%的細節題，我們其實每一道題目都能夠非常清楚地回到原文當中，藉助原文當中的某一句話，或者是某兩三句話就能得出正確答案的，說到這個地方，同學們就明白了，在我們整體的考研閱讀當中，所需要具備的一個最重要的能力是什麼？就是如何去看到題目之後，定準了位，並且找到那個我們真正應該找到的位置，在四個選項當中去找意思的原文最匹配的選項。
Ⅵ 2014年的英語容易嗎
江蘇卷難到變態...
Ⅶ 2014考研英語難嗎
看你學的咋樣了,感覺英語二簡單,如果英語很差,可以選專碩考英語二哦
Ⅷ 2014年考研英語難度如何
覺得閱讀理解還是有難度的，其他題型難度適中，100分的英語卷閱讀理解佔了大頭，想打高分真的還是非常難的，不僅需要平時積累和自身能力，考場上時間有限還需要些運氣。
Ⅸ 2014年考研英語難嗎
2014年的英語考試已經比去年較難，考研閱讀特點之一是文章很難讀懂，有些考生由回於詞彙量小，答句子分析能力差，根本讀不懂文章，所以也無法考到理想的分數。其次是選項迷惑性大，排除錯誤選項需要很多時間，而且不一定選對。作為考研英語試卷體系中發展最成熟、題型最穩定的部分，閱讀主要考查的是考生理解文章結構、把握具體信息和解答不同類型題目的能力。
