一、单选(30个×1\')

二、阅读(10个×2\'+5个×4\')
(篇幅太长了，都只贴出了第一段，然后注明了文章来源，大家动动手指吧哈哈~三四篇是问答题(5个)，所以有注明考查的句子，问题主要是paraphrase/explain the sentence或者what does……imply/mean?一二篇的选择题(10个)就无能为力咯~)

第一篇:IF SEVERAL hundred million Indians do migrate from the countryside to cities between now and 2050, as the UN expects, it will be a fiendishly busy few decades for Vivek Aher, who runs a low-cost hostel, one of five, on the outskirts of Pune, a well-off city three hours’ drive from Mumbai. A fair few of the new arrivals will have their first experience of urban living bunking in one of the hostels’ 1,350 beds. Should recent experience be anything to go by, most of the new arrivals will test Mr Aher’s patience by tacking posters on his hostel’s walls, or endlessly complaining about the Wi-Fi.……

第二篇:THE fear that business travellers on transatlantic flights might have to stop working on spreadsheets and read a good book instead had been palpable. In recent weeks, agents at America’s Department of Homeland Security had been hinting to the media that a ban on large electronic devices in the cabins of flights between Europe and America was likely. After a meeting on May 17th in Brussels, between American and EU officials, however, reports suggest that threat has been averted. Airlines will be rejoicing if so.……

第三篇:“A SEA of sameness.” A veteran of the Mobile World Congress (MWC), Ben Wood of CCS Insight, a consultancy, was not expecting much from the mobile industry’s main trade show this week in Barcelona. As one product launch followed another, it was easy to lose track. Whether it was LG, Huawei or Wiko, they all showed off yet more black rectangles with slightly varying specifications.……

第四篇: IN MAY 2013 Gloria James borrowed $200 from Loan Till Payday, a lender near her home in Wilmington, Delaware. Rather than take out a one- or two-month loan for a $100 fee, as she had done several times before, she was offered a one-year loan that would set her back $1,620 in interest, equivalent to an annual rate of 838%. Ms James, a housekeeper making $12 an hour, agreed to the high-interest loan but quickly fell behind on her payments. After filing a lawsuit in federal court, a Delaware judge ruled that the loan in question was not only illegal but “unconscionable”.……

单选很难，题干句子结构复杂，每个选项也比较长。tips：需要合理安排时间，单选部分不能耽误太长时间，否则后边阅读写不完；

　　阅读理解40分，前两篇是选择，难度系数不大，后两篇是问答（任务型阅读），难度一般。

　　作文题目：有人说机器翻译越来越完美，你认为能否取代pure human work? What’s your view? Write an essay not less than 400words with an elaborate title……

　　【分析】结合211真题回忆我们不难看出，广外的211焦点基本上都在单选部分，单选较难，阅读考察单选和问答两种形式，难度一般。同时要说的是今年广外的作文，考察的是机器翻译能否取代人类的问题，也就是机器和人的问题，这个问题是今年考的比较多，也比较热的，因此在19年备考的时候，方向要侧重社会热点问题。
