Answer Sheet 1 For questions14, mark Y(for YES) if the statement agrees with the information given in the passage; N(for NO) if the statement contradicts the information given in the passage; NG(for NOT GIVEN) if the information is not given in the passage. For questions 5l0, plete the sentences with the information given in the passage. Rainforests Tropical rainforests are the most diverse ecosystem(生態(tài)系統(tǒng) )on Earth, and also the oldest. Today, tropical rainforests cover only 6 percent of the Earth’ S ground surface, but they are home to over half of the pla’s plant and animal species. What Is a Rainforest? Generally speaking, a rainforest is an environment that receives high rainfall and is dominated by tall trees. A wide range of ecosystems fall into this category, of course. But most of the time when people talk about rainforests, they mean the tropical rainforests located near the equator. These rainforests receive between 160 and 400 inches of rain per year. The total annual rainfall is spread pretty evenly throughout the year, and the temperature rarely dips below 60 degrees Fahrenheit. This steady climate is due to the position of rainforests on the globe. Because of the orientation of the Earth39。否則,如果我們不熟悉這種信息的分布特點(diǎn),那就很難快速地找到所需信息。而其他的個(gè)別生詞和介紹性質(zhì)的語(yǔ)句 (如說(shuō)明時(shí)間、地點(diǎn)等的詞匯 )則可以略過(guò)。 1) 略讀步驟 所謂略讀,顧每思義是一種省略的讀法。熟練掌握快速閱讀方法,能夠把閱讀的目的更直接地投入閱讀的過(guò)程之中,從而更有效地提高閱讀速度,同時(shí)也提高了閱讀的準(zhǔn)確度。相對(duì)而言,在以往的六級(jí)考試中對(duì)這部分的考察相對(duì)薄弱,還缺乏能夠有效地指引考生較好地完成該部分試題的答題指導(dǎo)。不僅如此,進(jìn)行略讀有助于我們了解文章的大意、作者的觀點(diǎn),這樣對(duì)我們做推論題也大有裨益。 2) 查讀步驟 查讀是以某個(gè)細(xì)節(jié)的關(guān)鍵詞為目標(biāo),目光很快地掃過(guò)文章,直到發(fā)現(xiàn)與問(wèn)題有關(guān)的文字,迅速鎖定答 案。 因此,在運(yùn)用查讀技巧的時(shí)候,可以遵循以下步驟: a.首先,確定自己要找的信息:在閱讀文章之前,目光快速掃描一遍后面的題目; b.其次,了解文章的信息分布:可查讀各章節(jié)小標(biāo)題 進(jìn)行定位,確定可能含有所需信息的部分; c.最后,找出所需的具體信息:在已經(jīng)定位的區(qū)域,快速閱讀直至鎖定答案。t have access to the nutrients in the ground.

And before we sit back and decide that39。low skilled39。 簡(jiǎn)答題答題原則 簡(jiǎn)答題 (1) 理解到位,把握中心思想 篇章簡(jiǎn)答首先也是要求考生對(duì)一篇文章的中心思想能夠準(zhǔn)確把握??v觀大學(xué)英語(yǔ)六級(jí)考試簡(jiǎn)答題所給出的題目,其中所要求的答案能從文章本身照搬的少之又少。不要啰嗦復(fù)述,拖泥帶水,一定要言簡(jiǎn)意賅,直接回答 提出的問(wèn)題即可。 (6) 注意提問(wèn)方式和答案的協(xié)調(diào)性 不難理解,如果文章用“ why來(lái)提問(wèn),考生的第一反應(yīng)就應(yīng)該是用“ because”引導(dǎo)的從句來(lái)作答。 (3) 細(xì)節(jié)選擇 細(xì)節(jié)選擇可以是對(duì)題區(qū)判定的另一個(gè)說(shuō)法,也可以是對(duì)它的進(jìn)一步深入。這類(lèi)題需要理解簡(jiǎn)答項(xiàng)涉及的細(xì)節(jié),然后根據(jù)語(yǔ)法來(lái)作答。 (Line 3, Para. 1), the author suggests that the American myth is _____________. 2. What is the American Dream of the welltodo built upon? 3. Some Americans try to make themselves feel less guilty by attributing the poverty of the working people to_________. 4. We learn from the passage that the difference in pay between the lowest paid and the average worker in America is ________________ than that in other industrialized countries. 5. According to the author, how would an American family with a car and a house in the suburbs probably feel about themselves today? (2) 答題時(shí): a 注意很多細(xì)節(jié)題,問(wèn)答題與原文細(xì)節(jié)只是換了一種說(shuō)法,或者用了意思相近的詞,或者是同位語(yǔ)從句、定語(yǔ)從句的再述。t have enough to eat.
