因为是针对英语专业考研的，所以我在另外一个网站易哉英语网（www.yzenglish.com）上也发帖子，同时附加了可供下载的美化打印版，有兴趣的同学可以看看。另外，这些资料都是内部保过班用的，外面买不到。
阅读训练Ⅱ-01
. Is fuzzy logic a challenge to two thousand years of Western thought or just a way of getting a cleaner shirt? Either way you're going to hear a lot more about it soon. MAREK KOHN reports on a buzzword that means business.Questions:(1) Is this passage good for the preface or ending of a larger passage about fuzzy logic?(2) Which does 'buzzword' most probably mean, popular word, dirty word, vague term, or slang?   In a 1994 pastoral letter, America's Catholic bishops sounded a similar theme, saying, 'It is futile to suggest we can end all violence ... merely by our own efforts ... We must realize that peace is most fundamentally a gift from God.Question:(3) Do the US Catholic bishops believe in manly efforts as far as violence is concerned?  Most Americans know that our popular culture exerts a powerful influence across the globe, shaping attitudes, trends and styles. But the inverse - a more subtle effect – is also true: The worldwide hunger for US-made entertainment helps steer our own culture, by encouraging projects that will sell overseas and discouraging those that foreign audiences are thought to spurn.Questions:(4) Which of the four items is semantically the closest to 'spurn': like, lack hate, turn up one's nose at?(5) What nationality is the author most likely to be?(6) In what manner do non-American states influence US entertainment business?  The names of many teen pregnancy prevention programs inspire confidence: Success Express, Project Taking Charge and I Have a Future.Questions:(7) What will be the topic for the reading material if this passage functions as the lead-in remark?
