題、態(tài)度/語氣題等,即總結(jié)或歸納文章的中心大意、文章的可能出處、文章的性質(zhì)或作者的寫作手法及文章的語氣等,在前文已有講解。但是因為此類題型出現(xiàn)在快速閱讀中,因此當學生讀完文章時,要求迅速在選項中找到一個恰如其分的、高度概括的、能覆蓋文章全部內(nèi)容的中心大意;根據(jù)內(nèi)容把文章歸納為何種類別,判斷屬性等;或迅速判斷出文章總體給讀者的印象(比如:輕松愉快、妙趣橫生、心情沉重、平淡如水、諷刺批評等)。由于是快速閱讀,學生不可能有很多時間去琢磨,因此應根據(jù)自己的第一印象找出合適的選項。在閱讀時,要注意抓住重點,比如每篇文章的首段和末段、每段的首句和末句,這樣會大大提高閱讀速度。另一方面,快速閱讀的材料相對較短,也較容易,因此考生也不必緊張,只要全神貫注地答題就能快速準確地找出答案。例如:First read the following question.The general idea of the passage is why the . ______.A. made atomic bombsB. used atomic bombsC. invaded JapanD. accepted Japan’s surrenderNow skim the passage below and answer the question.The decision to drop the atomic bombs, once the scientists had developed them, was not lightly made. Operating without knowledge of the highly secret scientific breakthrough, allied military staffs planned to invade Japan in November, 1945, with a second major landing in March, 1946. Japanese resistance in the Pacific islands had been so fierce that the Allied planners anticipated more than a million Allied and two million Japanese casualties. President Truman’s hope was that the atomic bombs—through a demonstration of immense power—would shock the Japanese mand into accepting the idea of surrender and save lives on both sides.根據(jù)前面章節(jié)所介紹的有關(guān)解答主旨題的方法,考生可以很容易發(fā)現(xiàn)文章最后一句話是主題句,這就是文章的大意,因此正確答案為B。快速閱讀(二)查讀Scanning本部分題目一般為細節(jié)題,就是在所給的材料(一般為列表、信函、廣告等)中查找有關(guān)事實和數(shù)據(jù)。學生應先看題目,根據(jù)題意在該文中迅速找出某一具體細節(jié),而不必把文章從頭至尾通讀一遍。如果需要找年代或地點,則只需把注意力集中到有關(guān)數(shù)字或大寫字母上。有時甚至只需尋找某個首字母就可以找到有關(guān)內(nèi)容。查讀材料比較長時,還要判斷查的內(nèi)容可能出現(xiàn)的部位,有的內(nèi)容按字母排列,有的內(nèi)容按時間順序排列,或按其他方式排列,只要用目光把全文掃描一下,心中就有數(shù)。有時材料會很長,甚至會有少量超過大綱規(guī)定的詞匯,學生在應考時不要因此產(chǎn)生心理負擔,因為大部分內(nèi)容不需閱讀。例如:First read the following question.Margaret Mee went on her first expedition to the Amazon in ___.A. 1952 B. 1968 C. 1947 D. 1956Now scan Text and mark your answer on your ANSWER SHEET.Margaret Mee: English Explorer and Painter of Amazon Flora** Born in Chesham, England, in May 1909.** Studied at St Martins School of Art and later at the Camberwell School of Art. ** Went to Brazil with her husband Breville, a mercial artist, in 1952.** Made her first expedition to the Amazon in 1956 at the age of 47.** Made 15 further expeditions to the Amazon.
