在考研英语阅读的失分原因中，有很大一部分原因是因为被其中的错误选项所迷惑。为了帮助考生们在这方面少失分或不失分，新祥旭考研特为考生们提供一些错误选项。

　　【典型例题 1】

　　【原文】1 ①Homework has never been terribly popular with students and even many parents, but in recent years it has been particularly scorned. ②School districts across the country, most recently Los Angeles Unified, are revising their thinking on his educational ritual. ③Unfortunately, L.A. Unified has produced an inflexible policy which mandates that with the exception of some advanced courses, homework may no longer count for more than 10% of a student’s academic grade.

　　【题目】21.It is implied in paragraph 1 that nowadays homework_____.

　　【选项】

　　[C]is not required for advanced courses

　　[D]is gaining more preferences

　　【分析】题干在问，“据第一段暗示，现如今家庭作业_______”。根据关键词homework和in recent years可以精确定位到第一段第一句，说“近几年，家庭作业尤其受到鄙视”。而D选项说家庭作业受到了越来越多的喜爱，很显然和文章内容相反的，这是属于正反混淆。C选项意思是家庭作业对于高级课程是不需要的。而第一段第三句后半部分，说“除了一些高级课程之外，家庭作业或许不再占到学生学业成绩的10%”，明显和文章内容是不一致的。

　　【典型例题 2】

　　【原文】1 ①Hunting for a job late last year, lawyer Gant Redmon stumbled across CareerBuilder, a job database on the Internet. ②He searched it with no success but was attracted by the site’s “personal search agent.”

　　【题目】41. How did Redmon find his job?

　　【选项】[A] By searching openings in a job database.

　　【分析】题干在问，“Redmon是如何找到他工作的?”定位到第一段第二句，说“他搜索CareerBuilder这个网站结果一无所获。”CareerBuilder就指的是“a job database”。而A 选项却说他是通过这个工作数据库搜索到空缺职位的，和文章中的内容很明显是相反的，属于正反混淆。

　　【典型例题 3】

　　【原文】4①…conclude that the act of memorizing is more of a cognitive exercise than an intuitive one.

　　【题目】23. According to Ericsson, good memory

　　【选项】[B] results from intuitive rather than cognitive exercises.

　　【分析】题干在问，在Ericsson看来，好的记忆力会如何?文中出现了more...than...这个比较结构，肯前否后，意思是记忆这种行为与其说是一种先天的练习，不如说是一种后天的习题。而B选项说，好的记忆力来自于先天的练习而不是后天的习得。刚好和文中定位信息相反。
