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）
With the global population predicted to hit close to 10 billion by 2050, and forecasts that agricultural production in some regions will need to nearly double to keep pace, food security is increasingly making headlines(登上头条）. In the UK, it has become a big talking point recently too, for a rather particular reason: Brexit（英国脱欧）.
Brexit is seen by some as an opportunity to reverse a recent trend towards the UK importing food. The country produces only about 60 per cent of the food it eats, down from almost three-quarters in the late 1980s. A move back to self-sufficiency, the argument goes, would boost the farming industry（农产品加工业）, political sovereignty （主权） and even the nation's health. Sounds great -but how feasible is this vision?
短文翻译
预计到2050年，全球人口将接近100亿，而一些地区的农业生产需要增加近一倍才能跟上人口增长的步伐，因此，粮食安全问题日益成为媒体关注的焦点。在英国，这一问题最近也成了一个热门话题，原因相当特殊:英国脱欧。
一些人认为，英国脱欧是扭转近期英国进口食品趋势的机会。英国的粮食产量仅占其总消耗量的60%左右，低于20世纪80年代末的近四分之三。他们认为，恢复自给自足将促进农业、政治主权乃至国家的健康发展。听起来不错，但这一愿景的可行性如何呢?

26. Some people argue that food self-sufficiency in the UK would_________.
A. be hindered by its population growth
B. become a priority of the government
C. pose a challenge to its farming industry
D. contribute to the nation's well-being
题目解析
26.【解析】细节题。根据题干关键词“Some people argue”和“food self-suffciency in the UK”等关键词定位至文章第二段最后一句，“A move back to self-sufficiency, the argument goes, would boost the farming industry, political sovereignty and even the nation's health.”（一些观点认为，回归自给自足将促进农业，政治主权乃至整个国家的健康。），所以选项【D】contribute to the nation’s well-being（促进国家的健康）为本句最后一项的同义替换。
【A】项：因人口增长而受阻，文章提到了人口数量，但没有说人口增长是影响粮食自给自足的原因，不能自我臆想推理，不选；
【B】项：成为政府的优先事项，无中生有；
【C】项：对农业构成挑战（威胁），与原文boost情感色彩相反,不选。
