同学们大家好，我们今天分析2014年考研英语真题——阅读题text1。首先当我们拿到这篇文章时，我们可以先精读各段首句，重点精读首段与尾段的首句，了解我们文章的主旨大意，首段首句为In order to “change lives for the better” and reduce “dependency.” GeorgeOsbome，Chancellor of the Exchequer，introduced the “upfront work search” scheme. 我们可以得出主旨：GeorgeOsbome提出了前期工作搜索的计划，我们可以推断出下文肯定是根据计划进行讨论的。带着这样的主题我们可以直接入题，那么21题，我们红色字体划出题干中的关键词：
21. George Osborue's scheme was intended to
[A]provide the unemployed with easier access to benefits.
[B]encourage jobseekers active engagement in job seeking.
[C]motivate the unemployed to report voluntarily.
[D]guarantee jobseekers legitimate right to benefits.
判断此题为细节的目的题，第二步：根据题干中的关键词找出原文的定位信息，按照文章的出题顺序，我们不难定位：Only if the jobless arrive at the jobcentre with a CV. register for online job search，and start looking for work will they be eligible for benefit. 此句话的意思是：只要失业者用简历在网上注册求职信息开始找工作，那么他们就会享受福利，从此句话中我们总结推断出是鼓励失业者找工作的。对比选项我们可以得出答案是B。
分析干扰项：A偷换概念，C张冠李戴， D无中生有。
22. The phrase “to sign on ”most probably means
[A] to check on the availability of jobs at the jobcentre.
[B]to accept the vernment's restriction on the allowance.
[C]to register for an allowance form the vernment.
[D]to attend a vernment job-training program.
用同样的步骤做22题，本题是语义题，定位到原文“There first few days should be spent looking for work， not looking to sign on.”， 同时我们需要找线索句的上一句There will now be a seven-day wait for the jobseeker's allowance. 可以推断出to sign on是wait for the jobseeker's allowance，得出选C。
分析干扰项：AD是过度推断;B张冠李戴。
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.
同样步骤看23题，本题是细节题，线索句定位到第二段What motivated him, we were to understand, was his zeal for “fundamental fairness” - protecting the taxpayer, controlling spending and ensuring that only the most describing claimants received their benefits. 选项D是此句的同意替换:prompted=motivate, passion=zeal, ensure=protect.
分析干扰项：A无中生有，BC偷换概念，曲解题意。
24.According to Paragraph 3，being unemployed makes one feel
[A]uneasy
[B]enraged
[C]insulted
[D]guilty
此题为细节态度题，定位到第三段，我们需要总结推断Losing a job is hurting;It is financially terrifying， psychologically embarrassing;Worse， the crucial income to feed yourself and your family and pay the bills has disappeared. 综合以上选A。
分析干扰项：ABC都是以偏概全。
25.To which of the following would the author most probably agree?
[A]The British welfare system indulges jobseekers laziness.
[B]Osborne's reforms will reduce the risk of unemployment.
[C]The jobseekers' allowance has met their actual needs.
[D]Unemployment benefits should not be made conditional.
此题是细节态度题，用选项定位的方法，选项逐个定位，基本定位在第四段，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.可以选出D。
分析干扰项：A断章取义，B C是线索句的反面意思。
Text1的选项干扰性比较大，大家可以用排除与同意替换相结合的方法来解答，希望以上的解析能帮助大家更好的理解这篇文章，文都老师在此希望广大学员早点开始备考，养成良好的复习习惯，贵在坚持，认真学习，耐心练习。最后恭祝您快乐学习，顺利通过考研!
