、詞義題、主旨題、推理題、正誤判斷題和觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題,而其中細(xì)節(jié)題所占的比例最大。 略讀( Skimming) :是一種非常實(shí)用的快速閱讀技能,是指以盡可能快的閱讀速度,有選擇性地獲得文章大意與信息,某些部分可以不讀。 略讀可以運(yùn)用下列技巧: (1) 以一般閱讀速度,閱讀文章開頭的第一段和結(jié)尾段,力求抓住文章大意、背景情況、作者的文章風(fēng)格、口吻或語氣等。抓住主題句就掌握了段落大意,然后 (3) 注意轉(zhuǎn)折詞和序列詞。 查讀( Scanning) :也是一種快速閱讀技巧。查讀通常是一種從大量的資料中迅速查找某一項(xiàng)具體事實(shí)或某一特定信息,如人物,事件,時(shí)間,地點(diǎn),數(shù)字等,與所查信息無關(guān)的內(nèi)容可以一掠而過。這種方法主要用于做細(xì)節(jié)題。對(duì)于這種問題先要找到它在文章中的相關(guān)段落,然后逐句閱讀,特別是對(duì)與問題有關(guān)的關(guān)鍵詞、關(guān)鍵句要仔細(xì)推敲。此類題的主要提問方式有: (1) When did this story happen? (2) Where did they find the man? (3) How many people were killed in the accident? (二)詞義題 此類型題的常見命題方式有: (1) The phrase ―——‖ in the context means ... (2) The word ―——‖ most nearly means ... (3) Which of the following is closest to the word ―——‖ in paragraph 2? 這要求考生具有根據(jù)構(gòu)詞法或上下文猜測(cè)詞匯或短語的能力。只要生詞不多,考生通過提高自己的猜詞能力,同樣可以理解一個(gè)句子、一個(gè)段落,乃至一篇文章的含義。通過反義詞猜詞,一是看表轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系的連詞或副詞,如 but, while, however等;二是看與 not搭配的或表示否定意義的詞語,如: He is so homely, not as handsome as his brother. 根據(jù) not as handsome as ... 我們不難推測(cè)出 homely的意思,即“不英俊、相貌平庸”的意思。 3. 通過描述猜詞 描述即作者為幫助讀者更深更感性地了解某人或某物而對(duì)該人或該物作出的外在相貌或內(nèi)在特征的描寫。后面更詳盡地描述了該鳥類的生活習(xí)性。比如會(huì)經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)下列提問形式: (1) Which of the following is the main point of the passage? (2) The author is primarily concerned with __________. (3) What is the passage about? (4) The best title for this passage is _________. 考生應(yīng)當(dāng)排除文中的次要觀點(diǎn),歸納和總結(jié)其中的主要觀點(diǎn)或中心思想,或者基本目標(biāo)。一篇文章通常都是圍繞一個(gè)中心意思展開的。在一篇短文或一個(gè)段落中,大部分主題句的情況有三種: ( 1)主題句在段首或篇首。一般新聞報(bào)道、說明文、議論文大都采用先總述,后分述的敘事方法。 用歸納法寫文章時(shí),往往表述細(xì)節(jié)的句子在前,概述性的句子在后,并以此結(jié)尾。 ( 3)無主題句 有時(shí)一篇文章里并沒有明顯的主題句。我們可以首先找出每一段的中心意思,各段的中心意思往往都是圍繞一個(gè)中心來展開的,或者說是來說明一個(gè)問題的。 (四)推理題: 這類題目考查學(xué)生理解上下文之間的邏輯關(guān)系并根據(jù)所讀材料進(jìn)行一定的判斷,推理和引申的能力。因此考生要學(xué)會(huì)理解作者的內(nèi)涵和反義,或者作者選用某一詞語的比喻用法。此類型題的常見命題方式有: (1) Which of the following is right? (2) Which of the following is NOT mentioned? (3) Which of the following is NOT True in the passage? (六)觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題: (1) What’s the author’s attitude towards ...? (2) What’s the author’s opinion about ...? 這不僅用來測(cè)試考生如何應(yīng)用作者思想的能力,而且檢驗(yàn)考生識(shí)別事理關(guān)系能力,文中必有充分論據(jù)支持作者的態(tài)度、觀點(diǎn)和信仰等。 3. The need for more wood and more land help to protect our forests. A. T B. F 2. Forests are homes for different kinds of plants and animals. A. T B. F 由第一段最后一句 There are thousands and thousands of different kinds of plants and ,所以選 A。由第二段 We are cutting down the trees because we need wood, and we need more 題判斷是錯(cuò)誤的。 由文章最后一句 That is why we must take care of our forests. 可知作者的觀點(diǎn)。 Passage 2 There were once many sheiks( 阿拉伯的酋長(zhǎng) ) who wanted to marry Queen Maura, for she was one of the most beautiful and powerful queens of Arabia. However, she did not like most of the sheiks, and soon there were only three left on her list of possible husbands. These three sheiks were all equally young and handsome, rich and strong. It was very hard for the Queen to choose the best one. One evening, she disguised herself and went to where the three sheiks were having their evening meal. She asked them to give her something to eat. The first sheik gave her some stale( 不新鮮的 ) food left over from the day before. The second sheik gave her a tough piece of old camel’s tail. The third sheik, whose name was Hakim, gave her some of the most tender( 嫩 的) and tasty meat. After the meal, Queen Maura left the sheiks’ camp. The next day, she invited the three sheiks to dinner at her palace. She told her servants to give each sheik what he had given her the evening before. Hakim, who received a plate of tender and tasty meat, would not eat it unless the other two sheiks could share it with him. Queen Maura was now certain which of the sheiks she wanted to marry. ―Hakim is the most generous of you,‖ she told them, ―so I want to marry him and he will bee the king.‖ 1. The Queen was looking for a husband. A. T B. F 通過閱讀文章第一段可知本題判斷正確 2. The Queen disguised herself because she didn’t want to be recognized by the sheiks. A. T B. F 3. She gave the sheiks some stale food to eat the next evening. A. T B. F 第二段開頭說明了原因 These three sheiks were all equally young and handsome, rich and strong. It was very hard for the Queen to choose the best one. 所以本題正確 根據(jù)第三段 She told her servants to give each sheik what he had given her the evening ,所以選擇 B 5. The Queen finally decided to marry Hakim the next evening after the meal. A. T B. F 答案: AABBA 4. Hakim wanted to eat his meal because it was very tasty. A. T B. F 根據(jù)文章第三段 Hakim, who received a plate of tender and tasty meat, would not eat it unless the other two sheiks could share it with 題判斷錯(cuò)誤,所以選擇 B 根據(jù)文章最后一句“ Hakim is the most generous of you,” she told them, “so I want to marry him and he will bee the king.”可知該判斷正確,所以選擇 A Passage 3 By definition, heroes and heroines are men and women distinguished by unmon courage, achievements, and selfsacrifice made most for the benefits of others — they are people against whom we measure others. They are men and women recognized for shaping our nation’s consciousness and development as well as the lives of those who admire them. Yet, some people say that ours is an age where true heroes and heroines are hard to e by, where the very idea of heroism is something beyond us – an artifact of the past. Some maintain that because the Cold War is over and because America is at peace, our age is essentially an unheroic one. Furthermore, the overall crime rate is down, poverty has been eased by a strong and growing economy, and advances continue to be made in medical science. Cultural icons are hard to define, but we know them when we see them. They are people who manage to go beyond cel
