考研英语中，阅读理解的分值比重比较大。老师一直以来在不断地对阅读理解进行研究，也在不断的教学和摸索中，总结了一些经验。下面和大家分享下考研英语阅读理解中错误选项的特征，希望2016考研学子可以避免犯错。

选项表述内容明显违背常识

例如1.真题 2013 text1 ①In the past, workers with average skills, doing an average job，could earn an average lifestyle. ②But, today, average is officially over. ③Being average just won’t earn you what it used to. ④It can’t when so many more employers have so much more access to so much more above average cheap foreign labor, cheap robotics, cheap software, cheap automation and cheap genius. ⑤Therefore, everyone needs to find their extra-their unique value contribution that makes them stand out in whatever is their field of employment.

22. According to Paragraph 3, to be a successful employee, one has to______

[C] adopt an average lifestyle

解析：很明显，想要成为一个成功的人，不可能采取一个平凡的生活方式的，不然我们大家都会成功啦。所以C选项错误。

例如2.真题 2011 text4 It’s no surprise that Jennifer Senior’s insightful, provocative magazine cover story, “I love My Children, I Hate My Life,” is arousing much chatter—nothing gets people talking like the suggestion that child rearing is anything less than a completely fulfilling, life-enriching experience. Rather than concluding that children make parents either happy or miserable, Senior suggests we need to redefine happiness: instead of thinking of it as something that can be measured by moment-to-moment joy, we should consider being happy as a past-tense condition. Even though the day-to-day experience of raising kids can be soul-crushingly hard, Senior writes that “the very things that in the moment dampen our moods can later be sources of intense gratification and delight.”

36.Jennifer Senior suggests in her article that raising a child can bring

[A]temporary delight. [B]enjoyment in progress.

[C]happiness in retrospect. [D]lasting reward.

解析：题干中问“养孩子可以带来什么?”A.暂时的欢乐 B过程中的享受 C.回顾中的幸福 D.持久的回报。从我们的生活常识中，我们知道父母养我们，肯定不是为了暂时的欢乐，也不是为了图我们的回报，在养育过程中尽管有欢乐，但是也会充满艰辛和困难，由此，选项ABD都不正确，所以D为正确答案。当然我们还可以中文章中倒数第二句定位，找到答案。

例如3.真题 2012 text2(英语二) ①Girls’ attraction to pink may seem unavoidable, somehow encoded in their DNA, but according to Jo Paoletti, an associate professor of American Studies, it is not.

27.According to Paragraph 2, which of the following is true of colours?

[A]Colours are encoded in girls' DNA.

解析：选项A中，根据生活常识，颜色是不会编码在女孩子们的基因中的，所以A可作为错误选项排除。

由上面的分析，我们不难看出，考研出卷专家在设置选项题目时，有部分选项是用来凑数的。这些选项我们按照生活常识就可以判定其为错误选项。老师希望2016考研的学子们，在考研复习得的最后一周，要开始整理自己的错题本和总结了，不要再盲目地做新题目了。温故知新，可以更好的把握做题技巧。最后，祝福大家一切顺利。
