考研人数逐年增加，竞争之激烈使得我们不得不加急复习的日程。众所周知，阅读理解占据了考研英语二100分试卷的一半分值，而考研英语阅读文章大多来自英美国家的主流报刊杂志，所以如果能在日常就多多阅读这些文章，对以后读懂文章做对题目来说会大有裨益。
学习步骤如下：
1.不看汉语译文自己看一遍短文做理解
2.看汉语译文比对自己理解的意思与之出入
3.强化记忆重点单词（以记忆其汉语意思为主）
Newspapers are becoming more balanced businesses, with a healthier mix of revenues from readers and advertisers. American papers have long been highly unusual in their reliance on ads. Fully 87% of their revenues came from advertising in 2008, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation & Development (OECD). In Japan the proportion is 35% .Not surprisingly, Japanese newspapers are much more stable.
短文翻译
随着发行收益和广告收益所占比例的日趋合理,报业的经营也日趋平稳。长期以来,美国报业因过度依赖广告收益而面临发展不均衡的局面。经济合作与发展组织称:2008年,美国报业87%的盈利来自广告。而日本报业同期的比例为35%。如此看来,日本报业发展得更为稳定也就不足为奇了。

*一定要做题哦
28. Compared with their American counterparts, Japanese newspapers are much more stable because they_____.
[A] have more sources of revenue
[B] have more balanced newsrooms
[C] are less dependent on advertising
[D] are less affected by readership
题目解析
28.【解析】根据题干定位到原文第四段。第二句提到“美国报业的畸形发展是因为它过多地依赖广告收益”，第三句以87%的具体数据来补充说明，第四句提到日本的数据仅为35%。通过两国的数据比较可以看出日本报业对广告的依赖度显然比美国小的多，由此带来的结果是题干提出的结果“难怪，日本报业更稳定”。反过来理解，日本报业更稳定的原因就是“对广告的依赖小”，因此C项正确。就日本的报业状况而言，原文的信息仅提到其广告收入的比例，及由此带来的稳定性，选项 A、B、D 的内容并未提及，属于无中生有。
