大學(xué)英語(yǔ)四級(jí)閱讀答題技巧超全(免財(cái)富值)

1、大學(xué)英語(yǔ)四級(jí)閱讀答題技巧一、原選擇題型的篇章閱讀理解新四級(jí)的仔細(xì)閱讀增加了文章的長(zhǎng)度和段落數(shù)量,題型向細(xì)節(jié)性方向發(fā)展。仔細(xì)閱讀要求做到“三精讀一略讀”。一是精讀文章首段和每段第一次出現(xiàn)的結(jié)論句,了解文章的主題和結(jié)構(gòu)。二是精讀關(guān)鍵詞定位的地方,請(qǐng)注意,細(xì)節(jié)題題干都是相應(yīng)原文的變形(如同義改寫(xiě)、詞性轉(zhuǎn)換等,因此要找到答案一定要找到題干在原文中的出處,再把原文和選項(xiàng)相比較,正確選項(xiàng)應(yīng)該是對(duì)原文的精確改寫(xiě),應(yīng)該符合兩點(diǎn)特征:形式對(duì)應(yīng)和含義對(duì)應(yīng),比如原文中出現(xiàn)比較,那么正確選項(xiàng)中也應(yīng)該對(duì)應(yīng)出現(xiàn)相應(yīng)形式,同時(shí)含義應(yīng)該是原文的同義替換,相同的意思換了一種表達(dá)方式。三是精讀重要考點(diǎn),比如:轉(zhuǎn)折、比較、因果、結(jié)

2、論或總結(jié)。略讀就是略讀甚至不讀其他細(xì)節(jié)性信息,因?yàn)楦蓴_選項(xiàng)往往來(lái)自于這些地方,精讀后反而會(huì)增加干擾選項(xiàng)的迷惑度,避免被迷惑信息干擾的最好方法就是不去面對(duì)誘惑。需要注意的是與原文極其相似的選項(xiàng)一定要慎選。四級(jí)閱讀考查的題型主要是細(xì)節(jié)題,另外還會(huì)涉及態(tài)度題,主旨題,推理題,結(jié)論觀點(diǎn)題,詞匯題等。各類(lèi)題型表現(xiàn)形式不同,考查重點(diǎn)各異,解題方法有別。1、細(xì)節(jié)題(1、細(xì)節(jié)題表現(xiàn)形式這類(lèi)題在四級(jí)考試中題量較大,占到60%70%的題量,可以說(shuō)是四級(jí)考試成敗的關(guān)鍵這類(lèi)題特點(diǎn)是題干的信息比較具體,考查文章中的重要細(xì)節(jié)。如2005年1月份考題:“Free play has been introduced in so

3、meJapanese kindergartens in order to”,本題通過(guò)“free play”,“some Japanese kindergartens”反映了原文考查對(duì)象,題干內(nèi)容比較具體,屬于細(xì)節(jié)分析。又如2005年6月份出現(xiàn)的題目:“What did the handball player do when he was not allowed a time out to change his gloves? ”本題handball player 是中心話題,when引導(dǎo)狀語(yǔ)從句,這兩部分明確指定了考查的細(xì)節(jié)內(nèi)容,在原文中找答案十分方便。(2、細(xì)節(jié)題解題方法細(xì)節(jié)題考查信息查找能

4、力和句子的理解能力。由于考試時(shí)間非常緊張,對(duì)于考生來(lái)說(shuō),做好細(xì)節(jié)題,首先是要在原文找到相關(guān)信息。正是由于這點(diǎn),我們看文章需要目的。有同學(xué)先看文章再做題,導(dǎo)致做題時(shí)還得回去在文章中尋找相關(guān)內(nèi)容,或者干脆憑著對(duì)文章的主觀印象匆忙求解,結(jié)果是浪費(fèi)時(shí)間或者錯(cuò)誤較多。建議考生先看題干再看文章,這樣就會(huì)有方向感,目的感。所以,細(xì)節(jié)題的重要做題方法就是:先看題干,再看原文,帶著題干個(gè)別的特有信息或者帶著題干的中心話題在原文定位。如“What did the handball player do when he was not allowed a time out to change his gloves?

5、”就可以結(jié)合handball player這個(gè)中心話題在原文找答案。四級(jí)細(xì)節(jié)題干有時(shí)會(huì)有比較明顯的信息,如時(shí)間數(shù)字,專(zhuān)有名詞,中心名詞。如2005年1月考題:What was confirmed by the Boston University Medical Centers study?題干中Boston University Medical Center這個(gè)專(zhuān)有名詞可以讓考生迅速找到考到的原文內(nèi)容。如果用題干信息在原文找答案沒(méi)有結(jié)果,可以根據(jù)題目的先后順序來(lái)確定大概范圍(除個(gè)別例外,四級(jí)細(xì)節(jié)題大體上還是按照出題的先后順序找答案的。以2001年1月份考題為例說(shuō)明:24.Why do pet

6、dogs love performing tricks for their masters?25.When a dog has received effective obedience training, its owner_. 做24題過(guò)程中,考生可以通過(guò)performing tricks 比較容易在原文倒數(shù)第二段最后一句話定位找答案;這時(shí),可以大膽預(yù)測(cè),25題考最后一段內(nèi)容。(3、細(xì)節(jié)題注意點(diǎn)考生做細(xì)節(jié)題時(shí),要注意合理但不正確的選項(xiàng)。很多考生在做題時(shí),忽視了題目與原文的聯(lián)系,憑著合理性的主觀猜想選擇答案。結(jié)果很多考生感覺(jué)做得很好,但對(duì)答案時(shí)發(fā)現(xiàn)錯(cuò)了很多。另外,很多表示程度、范圍、頻率等的副

7、詞或形容詞可能會(huì)導(dǎo)致選項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤,如2002年1月考題出現(xiàn)一個(gè)干擾選項(xiàng)是“keep in constant touch with the computer center”,其中的constant就是選項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤的關(guān)鍵。所以,細(xì)節(jié)題要求考生非常細(xì)心。2、態(tài)度題(1、態(tài)度題表現(xiàn)形式態(tài)度題一般提問(wèn)方式是:The authors attitude towards is _. 或者是What is the authors attitude towards _?(2、態(tài)度題解題方法從原則上來(lái)講,態(tài)度題可以考查作者對(duì)一個(gè)中心話題的看法,也可以考查作者對(duì)某一具體細(xì)節(jié)的態(tài)度,但是從歷年考法來(lái)看,四級(jí)閱讀更加注重考查文章

8、中心話題。所以,態(tài)度題經(jīng)?？梢酝ㄟ^(guò)文章主題來(lái)判斷作者的態(tài)度。如2003年6月考題,原文首句:Its no secret that many children would be healthier and happierwith adoptive parents than with the parents that nature dealt them.題目:The authors attitude towards the judges ruling could be described as_.A doubtful B critical C cautious D supportive全文首句可以

9、體現(xiàn)文章討論的中心話題,它明確道出了作者的觀點(diǎn):有時(shí)小孩與養(yǎng)父母在一起比與親生父母在一起更好。而原文中judges ruling的結(jié)果就是把小孩判給了養(yǎng)父,所以作者一定會(huì)持支持態(tài)度,故選D。(3、態(tài)度題注意點(diǎn)考生應(yīng)該熟練掌握在態(tài)度題中經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)的單詞,如positive, negative, optimistic, pessimistic, approving, concerned, objective, compromise等。另外,從以前四級(jí)考試的情況來(lái)看,作者的態(tài)度一般是或褒或貶,或樂(lè)觀或擔(dān)憂,中性評(píng)價(jià)為正確答案的較少。3、主旨題。(1、主旨題表現(xiàn)形式四級(jí)閱讀中,主旨題主要可以表現(xiàn)為“Wh

10、ats the best title for this passage”;“What is the main idea of the passage”;“The authors purpose of writing this passage is to _”。當(dāng)然,這些提問(wèn)方式可以有很多微小的變化,比如問(wèn)“The passage is mainly about_”等等。(2、主旨題解題方法從理論上來(lái)講,主旨題是四級(jí)各類(lèi)題型中要求最高的,因?yàn)樗罂忌赐晡恼潞?能對(duì)文章的大概框架作一個(gè)宏觀把握,從而解答后面的題目。但是把握文章框架對(duì)很多考生來(lái)說(shuō),是不能做到的。慶幸的是,一般的四級(jí)文章,都可以找

11、到文章主題句,或者是可以體現(xiàn)文章主題的句子或單詞。文章主題一般在前兩段出現(xiàn),所以考生要比較關(guān)注前兩段結(jié)論性的語(yǔ)言。四級(jí)閱讀在全文首句出現(xiàn)文章主題的情況比較多見(jiàn)。另外,第一段轉(zhuǎn)折性的語(yǔ)言,通常也能體現(xiàn)作者的觀點(diǎn)偏好。(3、主旨題注意點(diǎn)如果是考文章主題,那么正確答案一定具有概括性和結(jié)論性,細(xì)節(jié)性的選項(xiàng)肯定是錯(cuò)的。如2005年考題,What is the authors purpose in writing this article?ATo justify the study of the Boston University Medical Center.BTo stress the importa

12、nce of maintaining proper weight.CTo support the statement made by York Onnen.DTo show the most effective way to lose weight.一看這四個(gè)選項(xiàng),就可以發(fā)現(xiàn)A和C里面包含十分具體信息“the Boston University Medical Center”和“York Onnen”,是利用原文中的具體話題,某個(gè)細(xì)節(jié)內(nèi)容而設(shè)計(jì)的干擾選項(xiàng)。值得注意的是很多干擾選項(xiàng)還以“以偏概全”的形式出現(xiàn)的,所以分析時(shí)要注意正確答案概括的全面性。而利用擴(kuò)大主題的范圍來(lái)設(shè)計(jì)干擾選項(xiàng)的方式,在四級(jí)

13、中相對(duì)較少。為了說(shuō)明主題,為了論證,作者會(huì)引用一些人講的話,而這些觀點(diǎn)也很可能被考到。4、推理題(1、推理題表現(xiàn)形式推理題提問(wèn)的方式有很多,比如suggest,imply,indicate,conclude,infer等。然而,suggest,imply和indicate這些單詞提問(wèn),這個(gè)題目往往按照細(xì)節(jié)題的方法來(lái)處理即可,真正難把握的是conclude和infer兩個(gè)單詞,這也是四級(jí)閱讀推理題經(jīng)常用來(lái)提問(wèn)的方式。(2、推理題解題方法推理題難度高,不在于推理難,而在于找答案沒(méi)有方向。比如,題目可能會(huì)問(wèn)What can be inferred from the passage? What can

14、 be concluded from the passage? 如果我們對(duì)歷年考題作一個(gè)仔細(xì)分析,可以發(fā)現(xiàn)conclude和infer還是有些答案查找的方向的。Conclude提問(wèn)的題目,一般會(huì)涉及原文中結(jié)論性,觀點(diǎn)性的語(yǔ)言,尤其是段落首末的句子。而infer提問(wèn)的題目,如果題干信息比較多比較具體,一般可以當(dāng)作細(xì)節(jié)題來(lái)處理,如果題干信息比較少,則考查原文觀點(diǎn)結(jié)論的語(yǔ)言比較多,甚至考文章主題。(3、推理題注意點(diǎn)很多考生在做推理題時(shí),有一種思維誤區(qū),認(rèn)為一個(gè)選項(xiàng)與原文相去越遠(yuǎn),就越可能是正確答案,所以在找不到原文的依據(jù)時(shí),就隨心所欲地推導(dǎo)。其實(shí),很多情況下,推理題的正確答案相差并不大,不應(yīng)把這類(lèi)題

15、想得太難了。比如2002年1月份題目:It can be inferred from the passage that_.Akilling foxes with poison is illegalBlimiting the fox population is unnecessaryChunting foxes with dogs is considered cruel and violentDfox-hunting often leads to confrontation between the poor and the rich正確答案選擇C,而原文相關(guān)信息是:because they th

16、ink it is brutal(殘酷的 (原文已經(jīng)給出brutal的含義?？梢?jiàn)兩者相差并不大。5、詞匯題(1、詞匯題表現(xiàn)形式詞匯題一般會(huì)明確地告訴考生出題點(diǎn)在哪里,不需要考生查找所考查內(nèi)容。它可以考一個(gè)單詞的含義,一個(gè)詞組的意思,或者考一個(gè)句子的弦外之音。(2、詞匯題解題方法詞匯題是考生得分率較低的一類(lèi)題,因?yàn)樗枰忌鷱纳舷挛闹羞M(jìn)行分析,推敲單詞背后的意思。問(wèn)單詞或詞組的意思,加強(qiáng)調(diào)上下文邏輯分析;有時(shí)用轉(zhuǎn)折邏輯,但更多是利用并列邏輯,比如1997年1月份考題,原文:This is the Shadowland of hope, and anyone with a dream must l

17、earn to live there.60. “Shadowland”in the last sentence refers to_ .A the wonderland one often dreams aboutB the bright future that one is looking forward toC the state of uncertainty before one's final goal is reachedD a world that exists only in one's imagination此題解法有多種,其中可以利用并列關(guān)系來(lái)求解。首先,an

18、d后面的句子告訴我們“任何有夢(mèng)想的人必須要學(xué)會(huì)在那里生活”,這暗含了“那里”不好的環(huán)境。再?gòu)腶nd可知,兩個(gè)分句的邏輯是一致的,據(jù)此Shadowland也應(yīng)該是不利的環(huán)境,故選擇C項(xiàng)?？季渥拥暮x,查找答案的方向還得做一個(gè)細(xì)分:如果句子簡(jiǎn)單,一般在上下文中尋找答案;如果句子復(fù)雜,則更加傾向于在句子內(nèi)部找答案。(3、詞匯題注意點(diǎn)如果考簡(jiǎn)單單詞,正確答案會(huì)與該單詞的常用意思沒(méi)有多大關(guān)系;如果考難詞,感覺(jué)很難有分析的線索時(shí),就把四個(gè)選項(xiàng)代到原文中,使得原文邏輯正確,意思同學(xué)的為正確答案;如果考句子的含義而導(dǎo)致分析完全沒(méi)有思路時(shí),不妨結(jié)合文章問(wèn)題來(lái)分析,可以體現(xiàn)主題,或與主題的邏輯一致,一般就是答案。

19、二、篇章層次的詞匯理解篇章詞匯理解主要測(cè)試的是考生在實(shí)際語(yǔ)境中對(duì)單詞的理解和把握能力,因此重點(diǎn)考查的詞性是名詞、動(dòng)詞、形容詞和副詞等主要實(shí)詞,一般不會(huì)涉及介詞、冠詞等不具有實(shí)際意義的虛詞?？忌鷳?yīng)該把選項(xiàng)進(jìn)行歸類(lèi),如動(dòng)詞、形容詞、副詞等包括哪幾個(gè)選項(xiàng)。然后再根據(jù)空格所在句子的結(jié)構(gòu)及上下文時(shí)態(tài)推測(cè)所填詞的可能詞性和形式,將選擇范圍限定在某一個(gè)或兩個(gè)詞性?xún)?nèi),再按照上下文意思來(lái)進(jìn)行確定樣題解析:El Nino is the name given to the mysterious and often unpredictable change in the climate of the world.

27、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(wú)法與問(wèn)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。CET-4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 peoples idea of a landfill!Landfill care

29、he environmentMunicipal 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(wèn)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

30、(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(yǔ)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

37、時(shí),將相關(guān)信息合并后再確定答案例5 Water woes may seem remote to people living in rich countries like the United States. But Americans could face serious water shortages, too especially in areas that rely on groundwater. Groundwater accumulates in aquifers, layers of sand and gravel that lie between soil and bedrock

38、. (For every liter of surface water, more than 90 liters are hidden underground. Although the United States has large aquifers, farmers, ranchers, and cities are tapping many of them for water faster than nature can replenish it. In northwest Texas, for example, over pumping has shrunk groundwater supplies by 25 percent, according to Postal.Americans may face even more urgent problems from pollution. Drinking water in the United States is generally safe and meets high standards. Nevertheless, one in five Americans every day unknowingly drinks tap water contaminated with bacteria a
