今天，我們就來一起扒一扒考研英語閱讀中究竟有哪些?？嫉?ldquo;命題點”呢?
(2007 text 4) It never rains but it pours. Just as bosses and boards have finally sorted out their worst accounting and compliance troubles, and improved their feeble corporation governance, a new problem threatens to earn them—especially in America—the sort of nasty headlines that inevitably lead to heads rolling in the executive suite: data insecurity. Left, until now, to odd, low-level IT staff to put right, and seen as a concern only of data-rich industries such as banking, telecoms and air travel, information protection is now high on the boss’s agenda in businesses of every variety.
36. The statement “It never rains but it pours” is used to introduce
[A] the fierce business competition. [B] the feeble boss-board relations.
[C] the threat from news reports. [D] the severity of data leakage.
此題從正向解題來分析，屬于是“拋磚引玉”題，“It never rains but it pours” 是一句俚語，出現在文章開篇，屬于“磚”;題干問這一俚語被用來引入什么，答案即為跟在俚語后面的第二句話： Just as bosses and boards have finally sorted out their worst accounting and compliance troubles, and improved their feeble corporation governance, a new problem threatens to earn them—especially in America—the sort of nasty headlines that inevitably lead to heads rolling in the executive suite: data insecurity. 而這句話對于大多數同學來說，可以說難度相當高了，是非常典型的長難句。因此，這個時候“命題點”作為輔助技能就可以派上用場了。觀察此句話，發現特殊標點“冒號”。冒號意味著前后內容語義一致，很明顯，在這句話里，冒號后面很簡單,只有兩個單詞： data insecurity，意為數據不安全。那么，對照選項會發現，只有D選項——the severity of data leakage(數據泄露的嚴重性)可以與之匹配，答案就迎刃而解了。這樣解題是不是輕松很多呢?
