英语阅读强训3.23

壹世，唇齒相须

本练习出自《考研英语不读胜读》这本书，我们继续来分析并解析第二自然段。

The early settlers of Massachusetts Bayincluded men of impressive education and influence in England.Besides theninety or so learned ministers who came to Massachusetts churches in the decadeafter 1629, there were political leaders like John Winthrop,an educatedgentleman,lawyer,and official of the Crown before he journeyed to Boston,Thesemen wrote and published extensively,reaching both New World and Old Worldaudiences,and giving New England an atmosphere of intellectual earnestness.

本段 的阅读中，考生特别注意‘’The early settlers of Massachusetts Bay……‘’这个词完美对应上文中的the New Englanders。学过初中地理并且顺利从中学毕业的同学都知道New England包含了Massachusetts在内的美国东北地区。既然此处探讨的仍然是英格兰地区的定居者，探讨目标不变，此处应该涉及同一目标的另外一些特性了。
