By defining religion as a sacred engagement with what is taken to be a spiritual reality, it is possible to consider the importance of religion in human life without making claims about what it really is在讀文章的時(shí)候,特別要注意首尾兩端有轉(zhuǎn)折性的引導(dǎo)詞,引導(dǎo)詞后面的語(yǔ)句大多數(shù)會(huì)是作者想表達(dá)的觀點(diǎn),切忌注意。 (2) 注意轉(zhuǎn)折性連接詞。篇章閱讀的材料均選自英文原版材料,包括報(bào)刊、雜志、書(shū)籍、學(xué)術(shù)期刊等??忌鶕?jù)對(duì)篇章的理解,從每題的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中選擇最佳答案。讀文章時(shí)特別要注意首段的首尾兩句話,大多數(shù)情況下,這兩句話回事全文的主旨,會(huì)表明整篇文章所表達(dá)意思的基調(diào)和方向。一般來(lái)說(shuō)主旨大意題的考點(diǎn)都會(huì)很明顯在出現(xiàn)在文章之中,通常的位子會(huì)是首段的首句或者尾句,更或者主題就存在與文章末尾段。or這道題考查的也是考生對(duì)文章主旨的把握。For example:2012年浙江省專(zhuān)升本閱讀試題Passage Four中第16題: The . Travel Association confirmed in a survey what many frustrated fliers already know: The airport headache is passengers who pull too many carryon bags through security and onto flights.That number has skyrocketed in recent years—86 million more bags were carried on in the year than during the same period two years earlier, the Transportation Security Administration estimates.The reason for the carryon jump is no mystery: All the major domestic airlinesnow charge to check (托 運(yùn)) even one bag, generally $25. To save money and time at the baggage claim, passengers carry as much as they can on board, with predictable consequences.At security checkpoints, these millions of extra bags, many of them denselypacked, mean longer lines. Once past security, the fun continues at boarding. On a typical flight, there’s a fierce fight for scarce overhead bin space, extending the boarding process. Bags that are stuffed under seats make passengers even more unfortable.There has got to be a better way. In fact, there is. Here’s what a more sensible system would look like:No fee for the first piece of checked luggage. It would be better if airlines simply raised fares( 機(jī)票) instead of fees. Limit the carryon size and charge for large carryons. Use templates( 標(biāo)尺) at the security checkpoints to cut off the monster bags that now often escape airline staff’s notice until they’re right at the door of the plane. Tax the airlines’ ine from fees the same way that fares are taxed. Currently, the fees are tax free, encouraging airlines to generate ine through fees rather than fare increases.We’re sympathetic to the airline industry’s need to make money, but the baggagefees—previously intended to offset rising fuel costs—have bee an interruption that slows down the security check, offloads costs onto fliers and makes the boarding process even more unpleasant than it already is.1. What makes the air travelers most frustrated at the airport? A. The limited overhead bin space for bags.B. The number of bags they carry onboardC. The long line at the baggage claim.D. The extra fee they have to pay for carryons.解析:B。(5) 利用某系詞綴可以猜測(cè)詞語(yǔ)的意思。然后需要注意有些表明作者觀點(diǎn)的詞匯和語(yǔ)句,考生就可以根據(jù)這些詞匯和語(yǔ)句的情感來(lái)判斷作者的態(tài)度。由文章的最后一段的最后一句:Having weighed up the arguments on both sides, it seems there are good economic and ecological reasons for sources of energy other than nuclear power. 可知,權(quán)衡過(guò)后可看出,除了核能源以外還有其他資源有利于經(jīng)濟(jì)和生態(tài)。For example:2012年浙江省專(zhuān)升本閱讀試題Passage Two中第8題:Lloyd Slocum was unemployed for 18 months, but like hundreds of thousands of Americans, he’s working part time this holiday shopping season, unloading trucks and stocking shelves for a Bealls store in Port St. Lucie, Fla. “It gives you something to look forward to,” says Slocum, 29. He plans to use cash to buy his father a Christmas present and hopes to move on to a fulltime position with Bealls/Burke’s stores, a Sunbelt chain. Black Friday, the official start of holiday shopping heat, also kicks off the lesscelebrated season of the parttime worker. Retailers (零售商)alone are hiring about 500,000 seasonal employees this year, most of whom are part time, according to the National Retail Federation. Retailers’recent shift to opening on Thanksgiving or midnight on Black Friday has intensified the need for parttime workers. Holiday jobs offer financial and emotional lifeline for many of the nation’s jobless. They also point up a troubling reality: A nearrecord number of Americans are working part time throughout the year, even though they would prefer fulltime jobs. It is not just because of the recession (經(jīng)濟(jì)衰退). Economists cite a broader, longerterm shift toward parttime work as employers cut expenses and more precisely match staffing with ups and downs of custo
