英語(yǔ)專業(yè)四級(jí)考試閱讀理解習(xí)題及答案

1、專業(yè)英語(yǔ)四級(jí)閱讀理解輔導(dǎo)：先讀文章后看題目有的考生在做閱讀理解題的時(shí)候，喜歡先看題目后讀文章。他們認(rèn)為這樣會(huì)節(jié)省時(shí)間， 但是大多數(shù)情況下結(jié)果與他們的初衷相反。實(shí)際上，在做閱讀理解題的時(shí)候先看題目節(jié)省時(shí)間，反而會(huì)浪費(fèi)時(shí)間。這是因?yàn)槿绻阆瓤搭}目，在你閱讀文章的時(shí)候你的腦中就會(huì)充斥著這些題目，那么你就不能集中注意力。你就會(huì)集中注意力尋找這些題目的，從而影響對(duì)文章整體的理解。因此在做閱讀理解時(shí)要先讀文章，后看題目。以下是一些具體的方法：1.在閱讀文章時(shí)不要擔(dān)心時(shí)間不夠，否則就不能全神貫注于文章內(nèi)容。在閱讀文章開頭幾句時(shí)，你要聯(lián)想一下文章的大意：文章是關(guān)于什么內(nèi)容、寫的誰(shuí)、談?wù)撌裁词挛锏取?.當(dāng)你繼續(xù)

2、閱讀文章時(shí)，要努力識(shí)別出文章的文體，即是文章、文學(xué)，還是新聞或是別的;同時(shí)要識(shí)別出作者的寫作手法，文章是寫給誰(shuí)看的，作者是帶著一種什么樣的感情寫這篇文章的。3.在讀完文章一遍后，你會(huì)對(duì)文章的主題和文章的結(jié)構(gòu)有了一定的印象，但是為了準(zhǔn)確起見，在你回答問題的時(shí)候一定要回過頭來再看一遍該文，以確認(rèn)你的。不要根據(jù)第一遍閱讀時(shí)的印象答題，也不要根據(jù)所掌握的文章以外的知識(shí)答題。4. 在閱讀題目的時(shí)候， 要注意一些關(guān)鍵字眼， 比如 EXCEPT, CANNOT, NOT,INCORRECT 等出題者為了引起考生特別注意的大寫詞英語(yǔ)專業(yè)四級(jí)閱讀理解面面觀一、專四閱讀理解十大話題話題:如商場(chǎng)偷竊(2004),體

11、讀理解能力克服不良閱讀習(xí)慣，提高英語(yǔ)閱讀理解能力：通過有效分辨意群、增強(qiáng)語(yǔ)感、加強(qiáng)速度訓(xùn)練等有效策略，既可以克服、糾正上述影響閱讀效率的不良習(xí)慣，同時(shí)又可以提高閱讀速度， 加強(qiáng)閱讀理解，愉悅閱讀過程。英語(yǔ)閱讀理解能力是學(xué)習(xí)者學(xué)習(xí)和運(yùn)用英語(yǔ)需要掌握的一項(xiàng)基本技能，是否很好地掌握這一技能直接影響用英語(yǔ)進(jìn)行交流和獲取信息。事實(shí)證明，培養(yǎng)良好的閱讀習(xí)慣是提高閱讀能力的一個(gè)有效沒有養(yǎng)成正確的閱讀習(xí)慣。很多學(xué)生之所以閱讀速度跟不上，是因?yàn)槎嗄甑慕虒W(xué)實(shí)踐發(fā)現(xiàn)學(xué)生中常見的不良閱讀習(xí)慣有：(1)指讀。即為了集中注意力，用手指、筆尖或用尺子指著文章逐字閱讀。(2)。讀文章時(shí)，遇到生詞、不熟悉的短語(yǔ)或者對(duì)讀過的部分

12、不放心、惟恐遺漏要點(diǎn)內(nèi)容時(shí)，返回到旬首甚至重讀；如果遇到長(zhǎng)句，常常反復(fù)多次。(3)譯讀。在閱讀中不斷地進(jìn)行詞、短語(yǔ)乃至句子的翻譯，通過譯成母語(yǔ)來達(dá)到理解。(4)多余、不自覺的習(xí)慣性動(dòng)作，如左右擺頭、閱讀和潛意識(shí)里的默讀。(5)慢讀、細(xì)讀，所有的閱讀材料都以習(xí)慣性的、同樣的慢速度來閱讀 有了這些不良習(xí)慣，要以較決的速度從大量材料中捕捉有關(guān)信息，的確是十分的。其后果表現(xiàn)為，無法以閱瀆的自然以恿群為閱讀，導(dǎo)致注意力不能集中到整篇文章的內(nèi)容上；遲滯理解力集中，使信息的擴(kuò)展，邏輯推理和理解材料內(nèi)容受到影響；同時(shí)也挫傷了閱讀，從而產(chǎn)生焦慮畏難等消極情感，增強(qiáng)了學(xué)習(xí)者對(duì)語(yǔ)言輸人的過濾作用，妨礙讀者對(duì)語(yǔ)言信息

13、的順暢接受。因此，培養(yǎng)學(xué)生養(yǎng)成良好的閱讀習(xí)慣十分必要。一、糾正不良習(xí)慣的教學(xué)對(duì)策顯示，的一般有：(1)沒讀懂或者一知半解。(2)生詞較多，即使猜測(cè)詞義也需要思考的時(shí)間，且往往還對(duì)所猜的詞義舉棋不定。(3)注意力不集中，無法統(tǒng)攝句、段、文的要旨和主題對(duì)此問題可采取的策略是：首先，對(duì)已養(yǎng)成習(xí)慣的學(xué)生，指導(dǎo)他們可用手掌或索引卡作為行步進(jìn)的工具。把手放在卡片上，在讀的過，讓卡片從上向下移動(dòng)，遮住剛讀過的一行。迫使專注地閱讀不走神，做到身心并用，更好地理解文章。其次，對(duì)閱讀材料的難易度作出正確，并給予有效的。從對(duì)注意力的研究中得出結(jié)論：只有當(dāng)刺激物既不簡(jiǎn)單又不太復(fù)雜時(shí)，人們才能保持最長(zhǎng)久的注意力。這就告

14、訴我們，保持最長(zhǎng)久的注意力，刺激物的強(qiáng)弱必須適度。所以，最好先選擇淺易的材料讀。這樣可以把注恿力集中在閱讀當(dāng)中的視線移動(dòng)，不受內(nèi)容理解的描絆。再次，幫助學(xué)生培養(yǎng)積極的態(tài)度，保持自信。默念：“我能夠讀得更快更好。. (我可以提高閱讀速度并理解得更準(zhǔn)確。.【我是一個(gè)優(yōu)秀的讀者?！惫膭?lì)他們調(diào)動(dòng)已有的知識(shí)和經(jīng)驗(yàn)，敢于一口氣越過持閱讀的連貫性和整體性 最后，逐步養(yǎng)成縱式閱讀習(xí)慣。讓學(xué)生視線專注讀完，保i 賣材料的每行，縱向移動(dòng)。同時(shí)掃描左右兩邊的文字，要求學(xué)生按愚群向前跳讀。在每個(gè)意群中，把重點(diǎn)放在實(shí)詞上，如名詞、形容詞、副詞、數(shù)詞等(不必過多注意虛詞，如冠詞、介詞等)。抓住文章的主要意思和主體框架，忽

15、視細(xì)節(jié)和不相干的內(nèi)容。(2) What does “they” stand for in Line 3, Paragraph 2?(3) What does “their” stand for in Line 3, Paragraph 2?(4) What does “its” refer to in Line 3, Paragraph 2?應(yīng)對(duì)策略：尋讀（scanning），相關(guān)代詞的出處，離它最近且單復(fù)數(shù)一致的名詞即是。注意英語(yǔ)中“they”既可指代人也可指代物。學(xué)生誤認(rèn)為指讀能促使他們專注的每個(gè)單詞，能幫助理解和記憶。其實(shí)，專注于每個(gè)單獨(dú)的單詞，只能給他們的理解制造難題。向大腦傳送的是“

16、弱信號(hào)”看上去是一大堆互不相關(guān)的信息以至于大腦無法集中要讓學(xué)生明白兩點(diǎn)：(1)如同交談時(shí)人們讀上，心不在焉或者感覺厭倦。對(duì)此，有必說話吞吞吐吐，在每個(gè)單詞之后都停頓反而通常一組詞一組詞地說一樣，閱讀應(yīng)以意群為，集中注意思想內(nèi)容而不是單詞。(2)閱讀是思維同語(yǔ)言之間相互反應(yīng)的積極過程。閱讀是眼和腦的體操，眼睛和大腦協(xié)同工作時(shí)才能進(jìn)行閱讀。要具有高的閱讀水平，則需“眼明腦快”，對(duì)外來視覺信號(hào)迅速和處理。因此，有效的對(duì)策是：不斷進(jìn)行速讀訓(xùn)練，增強(qiáng)語(yǔ)感。指導(dǎo)學(xué)生利用報(bào)刊上的文章練習(xí)擴(kuò)展眼睛的視程，拓寬注視范圍。眼睛要抓住成串的文字，搜索有具體含義的慝群，一個(gè)意群一個(gè)意群的掃描、連貫閱讀，保持流暢的、合

17、邏輯的思維不被割斷，捕捉表達(dá)整篇文章重要文恿的語(yǔ)，在最短的時(shí)間內(nèi)獲取所需的信息很多學(xué)生一眼能看五、六個(gè)詞的意群或句子。可見，訓(xùn) l 練要強(qiáng)化這種薏 群組合能力，直到意群閱讀成為一個(gè)自覺的過程，有效克服指讀的習(xí)慣。慢讀、細(xì)讀的不良習(xí)慣，通過課堂教學(xué)，讓學(xué)生掌握基本閱讀技巧：、略讀、尋讀，明白閱讀時(shí)不僅有一種方法，閱讀速度的提高影響理解效果。并根據(jù)閱讀目的和讀物材料的難易這兩個(gè)因素來調(diào)整的閱讀速度，采用不同的閱讀方法，懂得靈活運(yùn)用閱讀技巧進(jìn)行高效閱讀。有學(xué)生認(rèn)為譯讀可以保證他們理解文章的全部意思并記住每個(gè)單詞。實(shí)際上，這種咬文嚼字、偏重語(yǔ)法分析的做法，使得閱讀進(jìn)程非常緩慢，阻礙了對(duì)內(nèi)容的深化理解，

18、而且常感到疑惑并失去閱讀的樂趣。閱讀是一個(gè)理解的過程，而不是一字一句的翻譯過程。譯讀只能理解字面意思，并不能充分理解作者真實(shí)的意圖。Goodman 說：“閱讀是一個(gè)尋求意義、證實(shí)和排除的過程?！睆拈喿x理解既是文字的過程也是意義假設(shè)的過程這一觀點(diǎn)出發(fā)，除了提高學(xué)生的技能，迅速感知文字符號(hào)所產(chǎn)生的視覺信息在大腦里直接產(chǎn)生意義以外，豐富學(xué)生的非視覺信息，加強(qiáng)速讀訓(xùn)練從語(yǔ)篇的角度來把握文章的理解，丟掉每次都試圖100獲知信息的幻想，排除母語(yǔ)干擾引起的負(fù)遷移，擺脫摳語(yǔ)法、糾纏個(gè)別細(xì)節(jié)的做法，是糾正譯讀習(xí)慣的良策。認(rèn)為，讀者看到印刷符號(hào)，就直接獲得意思，而不經(jīng)過聲音階段是完全可能的 ，閱讀心理學(xué)的研究亦表

19、效率的閱讀可以跳過由文字到聲音這一步來達(dá)到理解。可見，閱讀和準(zhǔn)閱讀阻礙有效閱讀。為了克服這兩個(gè)痼疾：第一，訓(xùn)練學(xué)生把注意力集中在、文章的主旨上。第二、引導(dǎo)學(xué)生閱讀時(shí)盡可能作形象化思考，練習(xí)把看到的文字在腦海中轉(zhuǎn)化成圖像，為創(chuàng)造一個(gè)內(nèi)向的。尤其在讀短篇故事時(shí)，把文字形象化的行 力。像看一樣想象它展示的情景，充分調(diào)動(dòng)另外，不必要、不自覺的習(xí)慣性動(dòng)作，要求學(xué)生讀的時(shí)候要少眨眼、不擺頭不動(dòng)嘴唇，只要眼球來回轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)就可以了，目光要盡可能少地停駐。每一次停駐時(shí)試著盡可能人一些信息。保持坐姿端正，書本放在眼睛正前方，眼睛與書本距離大約一尺為宜。這樣才能保證同一適當(dāng)距離，同一視角范圍內(nèi)盡可能多地?cái)z人文字信息。二

20、、結(jié)語(yǔ)實(shí)踐表明：采取有效的策略克服、糾正影響閱讀效率的不良習(xí)慣，完全可以提高閱讀速度，加強(qiáng)對(duì)閱讀內(nèi)容的理解，會(huì)使閱讀過程變得更愉決。總之，通過大量的練習(xí)和樹立積極的態(tài)度，掌握實(shí)用的閱讀方式技巧，調(diào)整閱讀速度，閱讀時(shí)以恿群為納人信息，視線移動(dòng)時(shí)擴(kuò)展視幅，全身心沉浸在所讀的內(nèi)容中，盡可能讓內(nèi)容形象化，能夠避免影響閱 i 賣效翠的壞習(xí)慣，成為優(yōu)秀的讀者。當(dāng)學(xué)生養(yǎng)成良好的閱讀習(xí)慣以后，會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)閱讀是其樂無窮、受益終身的專四閱讀理解練As many as one thousand years ago in the Southwest, the Hopi and Zuni Indians of North

43、They drew simple pictures or signs to represent things and ideas, and also to represent the sounds of their language. The signs these people used became a kind of alphabet.The Egyptians used to record information and to tell stories by putting picture writing and picturestogether. When an importantd

It has been said that Egypt is the home of the comic strip. But, for the Egyptians, pictures still had magic power. So they did not

45、try to make their way of writing simple. The ordinarypeople could not understand it.By the year 1,000 BC, people who lived in the area around the Mediterranean Sea had developed a simpler system of writing. The signs they used were very easy to write, and there were fewer of them than in the Egyptia

46、n system. This was because each sign, or letter, represented only one sound in their language. The Greeks developed this system and formed the letters of the Greekalphabet. The Romans copied the idea, and the Roman alphabet is now used all over the world.These days, we can write down a story, or rec
