第二章 真题分析 一
2002年3月 section2 Questions 1～5（全真试题集P95）
重点在于分析文章的主线和枝节信息
第一段
Helen Beasley says she did not set out to become a surrogate mother. Helen Beasley 文章开头出现的一个人物 文章中人物的作用： 1、文章的主角Leading role 2、议论文中的Example 3、被引用者的话 Quotation
东西方新闻报道焦点不同：西方新闻更愿意暴露社会上尖锐、新奇、有争议的事件。
The 26-year-old legal secretary from Shrewsbury, England, a single mom with a 9-year old son, was thinking more about becoming a paid egg donor.
egg donor. 卵子捐献者
本句很具体，目的是为了说明第一句话。
When she bought her first computer and did some research on the Internet, the tales of childless couples she came across broke her heart, she says, and made her think of going one step further, as some 20, 000 surrogate moms do each year in the U.S. \
本句也非常具体，也是对第一句话的说明和支持。
The more I thought about it, \本句的目的也是为了证明第一句话所表达的主旨。
注意：
英美一流报刊文章通常是倒三角结构，文章的前三分之一一定会表明文章主旨、核心、线索。
第二段
Six-and-a-half months after her first surrogate pregnancy began, as twin babies kick inside her, Beasley could not be much farther from a happy ending.
主句：Beasley could not be much farther from a happy ending 说明这篇文章描述的是一件坏事情。.
She?s mired in a bitter legal battle with Charles Wheeler and Martha Berman, the San Francisco attorneys who found her classified ad on the Internet and flew her over last March for a trip to a fertility clinic.
Mired 使……深陷泥潭 本句中有很多具体的描述，这些具体的东西在阅读的时候都可以被忽视，我们只需明确主角陷入了官司中。
Pregnant with one more baby than Wheeler and Berman wanted, Beasley says, she has received only 1, 000 of the 20, 000 they originally agreed to pay her.
本句中有很多数字，而数字往往是可以被忽略的。
The fate of the twins she?s carrying but does not want or have legal rights to will be decided by a California court, in one of the most bizarre surrogacy cases yet.
Bizarre：奇怪
文章的第二段把案子的背景信息告诉了大家。
第三段：
Beasley acknowledges the Wheeler and Berman, who have refused to talk to the media, made it clear in their discussions that they wanted just one child.
What?s more, notes Stanford law professor Deborah Rhode, \was a very extensive contract.
What?s more ：更有甚者
重要连接词及用法：
Furthermore，moreover，that is，that is to say，i.e，also 等递进连接词后面的信息更加重要
Stanford law professor Deborah Rhode：文章中的头衔可以略看
There were 50 clause providing for every contingency, \including the case of a multiple pregnancy, a real possibility given that three donor eggs fertilized by Wheeler?s sperm
were implanted in Beasley?s womb. Contingency：可能性、偶然性
Including的出现说明接下来的文字要列举一系列的内容，这些列举内容都是非常具体的，不太可能成为主题句，在口译阅读中可以略看。
The contract required Beasley to honor the couple?s decision about whether to have a selective reduction, the termination of one or more fetuses in a multiple pregnancy. Fetuses：胚胎
Still, Beasley says, \ballistic\Ballistic：勃然大怒
第三段的主题在于What?s more引出的句子中，关键词extensive 特别记录，第三段的很多内容与合同、官司有关。
第四段：
Beasley claims she would have gone through with the selective reduction has Wheeler and Berman made the arrangements early in the pregnancy.
But, as she tells it, there was a lengthy e-mail row between the two sides after Beasley returned to England:
But关键转折词，异曲同工的词还有however, yet, nevertheless, nonetheless这些词后面的信息很重要
Row在本篇文章的用法：
2. The word \in the sentence \was a lengthy e?mail row between the two sides\
(A) negotiation磋商 (B) argument 争吵 (C) communication交流 (D) dialogue对话
it was a petty affair in which each accused the other of going on vacation without warning, but it took weeks to mediate.
By the time Wheeler and Berman booked Beasley?s flight to California for the reduction, it was week 13 of her pregnancy, she says.
第四段的关键在于明确文章中的两方人物有争执。
第五段
At that stage, Beasley felt that terminating a fetus was wrong. Plus, the late date increased the risk that both fetuses would be lost in the procedure. Her high blood pressure was already complicating the pregnancy.
At that stage：在那个阶段
以上三句话，是在并列说明一个主题，内容很具体，可以略看
Beasley claims that Wheeler and Berman?s lawyer, who declined to comment, presented
