快速閱讀答題技巧

答題技巧一: 詳略得當(dāng)

對(duì)于大學(xué)英語四級(jí)快速閱讀測(cè)試來說,根據(jù)題目的“題眼”快速在文章中找到答案是最關(guān)鍵的,這樣我們就要在閱讀時(shí)注意詳略得當(dāng)??朔x精益求精的習(xí)慣,做到有信息處精讀,無信息處略讀,略讀處一掃而過。對(duì)所要解釋或證明的觀點(diǎn)的細(xì)節(jié)舉例處或者通常有數(shù)個(gè)名詞的并列項(xiàng),它們不是完整的主謂賓的句子,因此無法與問題對(duì)應(yīng)的詳細(xì)列舉處,都可以略讀。那么題目中數(shù)字、人名等信息(題眼)在原文中對(duì)應(yīng)的部分必須詳讀。

[例1]《大學(xué)英語四級(jí)考試(CET-4)試點(diǎn)考試樣卷》原文中有這樣一段:

There are two ways to bury trash:

Dump — an open hole in the ground where trash is buried and that is full of various animals (rats, mice, birds). (This is most people’s idea of a landfill!)

Landfill— carefully designed structure built into or on top of the ground in which trash is isolated from the surrounding environment (groundwater, air, rain). This isolation is accomplished with a bottom liner and daily covering of soil.

Sanitary landfill — landfill that uses a clay liner to isolate the trash from the environment

Municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill — landfill that uses a synthetic (plastic) liner to isolate the trash from the environment

文章是對(duì)Dump和Landfill分別做了一個(gè)解釋,這些就應(yīng)該是考生略讀的地方。

答題技巧二:顯性信息

查讀的信息通常是顯性信息,只要將問題在原文中進(jìn)行準(zhǔn)確定位就能得到正確答案,一般不需要做推理。

[例2] The death rate on highways is half that of all other U.S. roads (0.86 deaths per 100 million passenger miles compared to 1.99 deaths per 100 million on all other roads).

[題目] In spite of safety considerations, the death rate on interstate highways is still higher than that of other American roads.

[解析] 從題干中的關(guān)鍵信息短語 the death rate on interstate highway可采取尋讀法找到最后一句話為原文出處。原文中明確指出高速公路上的死亡率只是其他公路的一半(half that of…)與題干中的 is still high than(仍高出)相矛盾,可判斷此句話錯(cuò)誤。

特別提示:考生對(duì)于以下一些顯性信息也應(yīng)注意

(1) 表示因果關(guān)系的詞或詞組:because, reason, due to, since, so that, therefore等

(2) 表示目的關(guān)系的詞或詞組:in order to, so as to, by等

(3)?表示轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系的詞或詞組:but, however, yet等

(4)?表示對(duì)比關(guān)系的詞或詞組:contrary to, unlike, like等

答題技巧三:題文同序

大學(xué)英語四級(jí)考試的快速閱讀部分,問題順序與原文順序一致(有時(shí)判斷題和填空題交匯處順序不一致),這就要求考生應(yīng)該按照題目的順序依次做題。對(duì)于所有的四級(jí)快速閱讀文章這個(gè)技巧都適用,在此就不做特別舉例

答題技巧四:分解對(duì)應(yīng)

分解對(duì)應(yīng)四分法(快速閱讀的解題核心):快速將問題分解成4個(gè)部分(主A 謂B賓C+其他D),與原文進(jìn)行對(duì)比。

[例3] A landfill is not like a compost pile, where the purpose is to bury trash in such a way that it will decompose quickly.

[題目] Landfills are like compost piles in that they speed up decomposition of the buried trash.

[解析] 我們可以將題目簡(jiǎn)單劃分句子成分:主語為L(zhǎng)andfills,謂語為are,賓語為like compost piles,speed up decomposition of the buried trash.與原文bury trash in such a way that it will decompose quickly相對(duì)應(yīng),這樣我們就很容易的看到題目Landfills are like compost piles,可是原文中卻是A landfill is not like a compost pile,很明顯我們就可以得到正確答案,故答案為N

答題技巧五:一段一題、長(zhǎng)段兩題、平均分配

大學(xué)英語四級(jí)考試的快速閱讀的出題方式一般都為一段出一題、長(zhǎng)段出兩題,遵循平均分配題目所在位置的原則,在此也不做特別舉例。
