四六級閱讀理解應考高分技巧
速度文章,找重點詞句
因果轉折類:but, however, unfortunately, since, because, the reason…
讓步關系:although, though
遞進關系:not only…but also…, merely, but
比較關系類:more even, more than, most
選擇關系:either…or…, or
事實羅列:for example, in fact
序數詞:first, second, at last
【Eg 1】:
段尾句的轉折關系:
But at the same time, the opening of national borders to the flow of goods, services, information and especially people has made universities a powerful force for global integration, mutual understanding and geopolitical stability.
定位至本句后,根據長難句中關注謂語賓語結構或表語結構,重點位置再次被定位至:has made universities a powerful force,以此句去匹配剩余題目即可。
瀏覽至54題,發現:
Present-day universities have become a powerful force for global integration.
【Eg 2】:
F段重點句包含BUT:
The link between university-based science and industrial application is often indirect but sometimes highly visible.
瀏覽至53題,發現:
Around the world, governments encourage the model of linking university-based science and industrial application.
用同義詞替換解決無法理解的段落
1、同意替換是閱讀類題目終極解決方案,它包括單詞或短語甚至句子用另一種含義表達的所有形式。相對而言,四級部分更多強調詞語的同意替換,例如上題中,段落中的link變成題目中的linking。
當然,也有一定難度的題目來影響考生的分數。
【Eg】:
[E] Globalization is also reshaping the way research is done. One new trend involves sourcing portions of a research program to another country. Yale professor and Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator Tian Xu directs a research center focused on the genetics of human disease at Shanghai’s Fudan University, in collaboration with faculty colleagues from both schools. The Shanghai center has 95 employees and graduate students working in a 4,300-square-meter laboratory facility. Yale faculty, postdoctors and graduate students visit regularly and attend videoconference seminars with scientists from both campuses. The arrangement benefits both countries; Xu’s Yale lab is more productive, thanks to the lower costs of conducting research in China, and Chinese graduate students, postdoctors and faculty get on-the-job training from a world-class scientist and his U.S. team.
本段可以定位的位置有:
首句尾句;4,300,95(精確數字);Fudan University(非高頻大寫專有)等。仔細瀏覽完畢題目,發現沒有任何明顯信息可以進行匹配。
只有49題:
The way research is carried out in universities has changed as a result of globalization。包含一個globalization。
仔細分析,發現這句話對應的就是E段段首。其同意替換對應關系為:
Reshape-has changed; research is done-research is carried out.
2、同意替換因為有一定難度,于是成為匹配題最佳解決方案,這是一個需要積累和鍛煉的能力。
● 平時背詞匯時,多多注意目標詞匯的同意詞和近義詞,以及短語。特別關注其英文解釋,這會逐漸給大家省很多力氣。
● 每次做完題目后,都積累閱讀和聽力科目中全部同意替換的方式,今后考試中被重復考到幾率是很高的。
3、總結段落信息匹配題的做法:
● 先看題再回文章,包含兩步:關注主題(主標題或副標題)+定位簡單特殊明確的位置(如特殊數據)。
● 速讀文章再看題,需要關注重點詞匯區域。
● 最后使用同意替換能力來解決剩余題目。
常見段落信息匹配的高頻考點位置
1、涉及到首段的提示詞:
● overview /past/introduction
● initiation/orientation
● main idea/view/concept
● definition/cause/demonstration
● essence/explanation… + topic
2、涉及到尾段的提示詞:
● future / in the future / solution
● conclusion / suggest or suggestion
● Summary/prediction/effect…+ topic
3、特殊詞幫助定位:
● 含有rate / ratio / proportion / percentage等詞的信息往往對應% 較多的段落
● 含有number / figure / amount statistical / demographics等詞的信息往往對應數字集中的段落
● 含有financial / business / income / revenue / salary/ wage / commercial等詞的信息往往對應¥ $ 符號多的段落。
● 含有time/ period等詞的信息往往對應時間較多的段落
