2018考研英语二试卷解析  2018年考研英语二阅读理解解析（李国依）Text 1P1 It is curious that Stephen Koziatek feels almost as though he has to justify his efforts to give his students a better future.P2 ① Mr. Koziatek is part of something pioneering. ②He is a teacher at a New Hampshire high school where learning is not something of books and tests and rote memorization, but practical, reports staff writer Stacy Teicher Khadaroo in this week’s cover story. ③When did it become accepted wisdom that students should be able to name the 13th president of the United States but be utterly bamboozled by a busted bike chain?P3 As Koziatek knows, there is learning in just about everything. Nothing is necessarily gained by forcing students to learn geometry at a graffitied desk stuck with generations of discarded chewing gum. They can also learn geometry by assembling a bicycle.P4 ① But he’s also found a kind of insidious prejudice. ② Working with your hands is seen as almost a mark of inferiority. ③ Schools in the family of vocational education “have that stereotype ... that it’s for kids who can’t make it academically,” he says.P5 ① On one hand, that viewpoint is a logical product of America’s evolution. ② Manufacturing is not the economic engine that it once was. ③ The job security that the US economy once offered to high school graduates has largely evaporated. ④ More education is the new mantra. ⑤ We want more for our kids, and rightfully so.P6 ①But the headlong push into bachelor’s degrees for all – and the subtle devaluing of anything less – misses an important point: That’s not the only thing the American economy needs. ② Yes, abachelor's degree opens moredoors. ③But even now, 54 percent of the jobs in the country aremiddle-skill job, such as construction and high-skill manufacturing.④But only 44 percent of workers are adequately trained.   P7 ① In other words, at a time when the working class has turned the country on its political head, frustrated that the opportunity that once defined America is vanishing, one obvious solution is staring us in the face. ② There is a gap in working-class jobs, but the workers who need those jobs most aren't equipped to do them Koziatek's Manchester School of Technology High School is trying to fill that gap.   P8 Koziatek's school is wake-up call. When education becomes one-size-fits-all, it risks overlooking a nation's diversity of gifts. 21.

The move to renewable is picking up momentum around the world: They now account for more than half of new power sources going on line.P2 Some growth stem from a commitment by governments and farsighted businesses to fund cleaner energy sources. But increasingly the story is about the plummeting prices of renewables, especially wind and solar. The cost of solar panels has dropped by 80 percent and the cost of wind turbines by close to one-third in the past eight years.P3 ①In many parts of the world renewable energy is already a principal energy source. ②In Scotland, for example, wind turbines provide enough electricity to power 95 percent of homes. ③While the rest of the world takes the lead, notably China and Europe, the United States is also seeing a remarkable shift. ④ In March, for the first time, wind and solar power accounted for more than 10 percent of the power generated in the US, reported the US Energy Information Administration.P4 ① President Trump has underlined fossil fuels – especially coal – as。
