D. priority must be given to the development of obligatory activities. (分析:此題主要考某一段的中心意思。考生苦看到了該段第一句話:Greenspace facilities are contributing to an important extent to the quality of the urban environment. 即使沒有通讀全段,考生也應(yīng)能選出A項為正確答案。) (二)若針對舉例子、引用名人言論、特殊符號(如冒號、引號、破折號)后內(nèi)容出題,考生可只讀例子、名人言話、符號前后句內(nèi)容,然后符號題。 例(1) Tish Sommers argues that _____ . (1994上1月六級題28) A. older women find it hard to escape poverty. B. older women usually perform better in their jobs C. the major cause of the poverty of older women is sexism D. more people have e to believe in sexism and ageism. (分析:考生一看到題干,迅速到文章中找到Tish Sommers 的位置,人名開頭字母大寫,容易找到,且有雙引號引用了她的原話:When sexism meets ageism, poverty is no longer in the doorstep it moves in。考生只要看看新引用的話及前后句內(nèi)容,就能選出正確答案A項。) 例(2) According to Dr. David, Americans _____ . (1993年6月六級題32) A. are ideally vigorous even under the pressure of life B. often neglect the consequences of sleep deficit C. do not know how to relax themselves properly D. can get by on hours of sleep.

They think they39。re key because they can get by on hours, when they really need , eight or even more to feel ideally vigorous.只要理解了這些話,考生應(yīng)能選出B項。) (三)如果題目只是針對某一段內(nèi)容而提問,考生可只看該段內(nèi)容即可答題,而不必等把文章全看完才做,以防到時要交卷,而能做出的題因時間不足而瞎猜。 例(1) In the first paragraph, the author gives the definitions of some terms in order to _____ .(1996年1月六級題26) (建議:考生看完第一段就做此題,不必看后面內(nèi)容) 例(2) From the third paragraph, we can leard that _____ .(建議:考生只看第三段,然后迅速答題。) (四)針對詞匯題,考生可只看詞匯所在句和前后句內(nèi)容即可答題,因為對單詞字義的揣測,一般只通過單詞所在句或前后句內(nèi)容就能猜出。 例(1) The word dubious(Line. 2)most probably means _____ .(1990年1月六級題33) A.valuable B. useful C. doubtful D. helpful (分析:對dubious一詞詞義的揣測,可根據(jù)該單詞所在句和其前面一句話即可猜出。Yet you will find little if anything written on what it is to be an employee. You can find a great deal of very dubious advice on how to get a job or how to get a promotion. 從這兩句可猜出dubious是含有貶義、否定語氣的,故選C。) 例(2) The word hassles in the passage (Line 4) probably means _____ .(1993年6月六級題24) A. agreements B. disadvantages C. worries D. quarrels (分析:判斷hassles意思,可從該詞所在句前后句判斷出。But sharing the family home requires adjustments for all. There are the hassles over bathrooms, telephones and privacy. Some families, however, manage the delicate balancing act. But for others, it proves too difficult. 從前后句意思及介詞over, 考生可猜出hassles就是quarrels。)
