考研英语重在基础，建议广大考生在了解考研英语大纲的前提下，首先积累英语词汇量，并通过做阅读理解、翻译、写作等练习在词义方面加以提升，然后再考虑学习掌握答题技巧。当然，我们知道英语知识的复习是一个长期积累的过程。让我们跟随何凯文老师的每日一句。所谓：不积跬步，无以至千里;不积小流，无以成江海。坚持就是胜利!

　　考研学习不要怕付出，不要怕没有回报! 不要怕打击!胜利的就是在你没有预期到的时候到来的!一路狂奔吧!抬头可能没有美丽的风景!但是心中的信念不能放弃!真的会有那一天!你会看到那片属于自己的美景!

　　这个题目以前提过的：文中出现结论，从选项中找一个符合这个结论的例子。这种思路很久没有出现过了，还是再讲一次。

　　There are two basic ways to see growth: one as a product, the other as a process. People have generally viewed personal growth as an external result or product that can easily be identified and measured. The worker who gets a promotion, the student whose grades improve, the foreigner who learns a new language — all these are examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts.

　　55. A person is generally believed to achieve personal growth when ________.

　　[A] he has given up his smoking habit

　　[B] he has made great efforts in his work

　　[C] he is keen on leaning anything new

　　[D] he has tried to determine where he is on his journey

　　There are two basic ways to see growth: one as a product, the other as a process.

　　55. A person is generally believed to achieve personal growth when ________.

　　通常情况下，人们在什么时候被认为获得了成长?

　　根据题干可以定位到原文中的这样一句：People have generally viewed personal growth as an external result or product that can easily be identified and measured.

　　其中generally believed 替换了原文中的generally viewed;

　　an external result or product that can easily be identified and measured.

　　下面选项中符合这一标准的为正确答案。

    这是考研中不多的演绎类的题目：

　　文中给出标准，答案给出例子，符合标准的例证为正确答案。

　　这里应该选择第一个答案，只有第一个答案符合“外在的”，“可被测量的”，并且是一个“结果”。

　　[A] he has given up his smoking habit

　　当他放弃了吸烟的习惯的时候

　　解析：是结果，且可测量

　　[B] he has made great efforts in his work

　　他为了工作付出了巨大努力的时候

　　解析：还不是结果

　　[C] he is keen on leaning anything new

　　他热衷于学习任何新的事物的时候

　　解析：也不是结果

　　[D] he has tried to determine where he is on his journey

　　他尝试着确定他处于他旅程中的那个位置的时候

　　解析：不是结果，且不可测量

　　特别提示：

　　这段是非常好的背诵材料，在写成长的时候可以用的上。
