第一步，掃描題干抓關(guān)鍵。

即首先看選項(xiàng)，劃出題干中的的關(guān)鍵詞。題干關(guān)鍵詞包括：數(shù)字、人名地名、專有名詞、引號(hào)里的詞語等等。

第二步，快速瀏覽全文，把握文章主旨大意標(biāo)重點(diǎn)。

即快速瀏覽文章。在快速瀏覽文章的時(shí)候，不需要每一個(gè)單詞和句子都讀得懂，沒有時(shí)間也沒有這個(gè)必要。在第二步的過程中，考生們所要做的就是首先弄清楚這篇文章的中心思想是什么；其次，用筆在試卷上面標(biāo)記出考試要考的重點(diǎn)。那么很多考生就會(huì)問，如何把握文章的主旨大意，如何標(biāo)記文章的重點(diǎn)呢？解答如下：

首先，把握文章的主旨大意。

要解決這個(gè)問題，需要分兩步走。第一步，仔細(xì)閱讀文章的首末段的首末句。因?yàn)橛⒄Z文章段落結(jié)構(gòu)上面我已經(jīng)講過。此外，西方人說話向來喜歡開門見山。所以英語文章段落70%都是一上來交待作者的寫作目的或意圖。第二步，要仔細(xì)閱讀其他各段落的首句。然后把這兩步綜合起來，英語文章的主旨大意就可以把握住。

其次，如何標(biāo)注文章的重點(diǎn)。

英語文章的重點(diǎn)主要有以下幾點(diǎn)：

1. 強(qiáng)轉(zhuǎn)折：通常由“but, yet, however”引導(dǎo)。因?yàn)檗D(zhuǎn)折的作用一般來說是對(duì)前面的否定，對(duì)后面的肯定，因此轉(zhuǎn)折詞后面引導(dǎo)的成分往往是出題人容易出題的地方。特別是在文章中出現(xiàn)but時(shí)。

2. 比較處：通常形式為“more/less---than---”。比較的作用在于通過比較突出某一點(diǎn)。比如more A than B的結(jié)構(gòu)中，很顯然是強(qiáng)調(diào)A，那么考生直接在A處劃線，重點(diǎn)關(guān)注A就可以了。以此類推，less A than B，很顯然是強(qiáng)調(diào)B，那么就直接在B處劃線。它們是出題人喜歡出題的地方。

3. 主旨句、主題句。這兩個(gè)概念在上面寫作部分我已經(jīng)講過。因?yàn)樗麄兪歉叨雀爬ㄐ缘木渥?，直接反映出作者的寫作目的和意圖，因此也是出題人的出題點(diǎn)。

另外還有因果句、特殊疑問句、獨(dú)立成段句、長(zhǎng)難句乃至特殊標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號(hào)等，都是需要考生在第一遍閱讀時(shí)候，要?jiǎng)澇龅闹攸c(diǎn)。

第三步，定位原文解剖句子。

就是在讀完一遍文章的基礎(chǔ)上，再看一遍問題。帶著題干中的關(guān)鍵詞迅速回原文定位，即找出這個(gè)問題出現(xiàn)在原文的第幾段第幾行。需要注意的一點(diǎn)是由于四級(jí)出題順序高度一致，所以一定要在文章當(dāng)中找到出處。許多考生由于找不到出處，只能是憑第一遍的印象去猜答案，很顯然做題準(zhǔn)確性一定不高。

第四步，比較選項(xiàng)定答案。

在讀懂文章句子的基礎(chǔ)上，然后再次回到問題上來?？匆幌翧BCD四個(gè)選項(xiàng)哪一個(gè)于原文中的意思是相對(duì)應(yīng)的。當(dāng)然在這個(gè)比較篩選過程中，很多同學(xué)往往會(huì)排除一到兩個(gè)選項(xiàng)，剩下的兩個(gè)選項(xiàng)就處于猶豫階段，自己很難取舍。這在下面的如何提高做題準(zhǔn)確率中講到。

第五步，主旨態(tài)度最后做。

所謂主旨態(tài)度最后做就是，如果在五個(gè)問題中，第一個(gè)問題就問你，文章的中心思想、作者的寫作意圖或者做這些這篇文章的態(tài)度是什么。這時(shí)候考生可以先放過去。因?yàn)榭忌喿x第一遍文章的時(shí)候，只是掌握住文章粗枝大葉，這時(shí)候?qū)ξ恼逻€沒有形成一個(gè)比較全面的了解。因此可以先放過去先做其他四個(gè)問題，待做完其他四個(gè)問題的時(shí)候再去做主旨題或是態(tài)度題，這樣準(zhǔn)確率就比較高一些。千萬不要小看這一變化，這類題目做對(duì)的正確與否有可能直接決定著其他四個(gè)選項(xiàng)的正確率。

按照上述五步閱讀法，我們來舉例說明：

①Is there enough oil beneath the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge(保護(hù)區(qū))（ANWR）to help secure America’s energy future? President Bush certainly thinks so.He has argued that tapping ANWR’s oil would help ease California’s electricity crisis and provide a major boost to the country’s energy independence. But no one knows for sure how much crude oil lies buried beneath the frozen earth. With the last government survey, conducted in 1998, protecting output anywhere from 3 billion to 16 billion barrels.

②The oil industry goes with the high end of the range, which could equal as much as 10% of U.S. consumption for as long as six years.By pumping more than 1 million barrels a day from the reserve for the next two three decades, lobbyists claim, the nation could cut back on imports equivalent to all shipments to the U.S. from Saudi Arabia. Sounds good. An oil boom would also mean a multibillion-dollar windfall (意外之材) in tax revenues, royalties(開采權(quán)使用費(fèi)) and leasing fees for Alaska and the Federal Government. Best of all, advocates of drilling say, damage to the environment would be insignificant. “We’ve never had a document case of oilrig chasing deer out onto the pack ice.” says Alaska State Representative Scott Ogan.

④Not so far, say environmentalists. ③Sticking to the low end of government estimate, the National Resources Defense Council says there may be no more than 3.2 billion barrels of economically recoverable oil in the coastal plain of ANWR, a drop in the bucket that would do virtually nothing to ease America’s energy problems.And consumers would wait up to a decade to gain any benefits, because drilling could begin only after much bargaining over leases, environmental permits and regulatory review. ⑤As for ANWR’s impact on the California power crisis, environmentalists point out that oil is responsible for only 1% of the Golden State’s electricity output and just 30% of the nation’s.

1. What does President Bush think of tapping oil in ANWR?

?A. It will exhaust the nation’s oil reserves.?? B. It will help secure the future of ANWR.

C. It will help reduce the nation’s oil imports.D. It will increase America’s energy consumption.

2. We learn from the second paragraph that the American oil industry

A. believe that drilling for oil in ANWR will produce high yields.

B.? Tends to exaggerate America’s reliance on foreign oil.

C.? Shows little interest in tapping oil in ANWR.

D. Expects to stop oil imports from Saudi Arabia.

3. Those against oil drilling in ANWR argue that

A.? It can cause serious damage to the environment.

B.? It can do little to solve U.S. energy problems.

C.? It will drain the oil reserves in the Alaskan region.

D. It will not much commercial value.

4. What do the environmentalists mean by saying “Not so fast” (Line .1, Para.3 )

A.? Oil exploitation takes a long time.?? B. The oil drilling should be delayed.

C.? Don’t be too optimistic.?????? D. Don’t expect fast returns.

5. It can be learned from the passage that oil exploitation beneath ANWR’s frozen earth

A.? remains a controversial issue.?? B. Is expected to get under way soon.

C. Involves a lot of technological problems.?? D. Will enable the U.S. to be oil independent.
