知己知彼，百战不殆。想要夺下考研英语这个壁垒，就得首先了解它的具体情况。熟词生义现象是考研英语阅读理解常见的现象之一。基于此，考生在复习过程中，除了熟悉真题，实践真题之外，背诵单词的时候要重视单词不常见的意思。

McGee says leaving without a position lined up gave him time to reflect on what kind of company he wanted to run. It also sent a clear message to the outside world about his aspirations. And McGee isnt alone. In recent weeks the No.2 executives at Avon and American Express quit with the explanation that they were looking for a CEO post. As boards scrutinize succession plans in response to shareholder pressure, executives who dont get the nod also may wish to move on. A turbulent business environment also has senior managers cautious of letting vague pronouncements cloud their reputations.(para2,text2,2011)

Run 一词，其常见意思奔跑，毋庸置疑，放在本句理解，很明显公司与跑步，奔跑之间搭配会导致文意不通顺，不合理。所以，run在本句中，熟词生义为经营，run a company 经营公司，是一种地道表达。本句句句意为麦吉裸辞这件事，使他有时间思考自己想经营什么样的公司。

One possible response is for classical performers to program attractive new music that is not yet available on record. Gilberts own interest in new music has been widely noted: Alex Ross, a classical-music critic, has described him as a man who is capable of turning the Philharmonic into a markedly different, more vibrant organization. But what will be the nature of that difference? Merely expanding the orchestras repertoire will not be enough. If Gilbert and the Philharmonic are to succeed, they must first change the relationship between Americas oldest orchestra and the new audience it hops to attract.(para5,text1,2011)

Record一词常见意思为记录，本句record与classical performers 古典音乐演奏者和music音乐等词应为同一语境,所以,record本句中,熟词生义为唱片,更符合文意。本句句意为对于古典音乐演奏者来说，他们能做的回应就是演奏那些还没有录制成唱片的想，能够吸引人的新曲目。

Many captive shippers also worry they will soon be hit with a round of huge rate increases. The railroad industry as a whole, despite its brightening fortunes, still does not earn enough to cover the cost of the capital it must invest to keep up with its surging traffic. Yet railroads continue to borrow billions to acquire one another, with Wall Street cheering them on. Consider the $10.2 billion bid by Norfolk Southern and CSX to acquire Conrail this year. Conrails net railway operating income in 1996 was just $427 million, less than half of the carrying costs of the transaction. Whos going to pay for the rest of the bill? Many captive shippers fear that they will, as Norfolk Southern and CSX increase their grip on the market.(para5,text3,2003)

Acquire 其常见意思为获得,习得，本句中涉及多个公司，及大量金额，acquire熟词生义为兼并,收购,更加符合文意。本句句意为今年，诺福克南方铁路公司和CSX公司考虑以102亿美元竞标，以此兼并美国联合铁路公司。

考研英语中部分普通词汇会出现熟词生义现象,所以,当词汇的常见意思与文意或者语境不符时,考虑该词汇其他层次的释义.因此,考研复习过程中,背单词要尽量全面彻底,尽可能把握词汇的多种释义。
