很多同學(xué)都說考英語六級的時候,閱讀理解總是時間不夠用,往往都要收卷了,還有一兩篇沒有做,在種緊急狀況下,該如何提高剩下文章的命中率呢?這里我們介紹一些臨門一腳的做題竅門。
(一)針對主旨大意題只讀段首、段尾句。一般來說,一篇文章的中心思想或某一段主題思想往往通過段首、段尾句表達出來?忌杆僬业搅诉@些主題句,也能答題。
例(1) The author writes this passage to _____ 。(1995年6月六級題30)
A. discuss the negative aspect of being attractive。
B. give advice to job-seekers who are attractive
C. demand equal rights for woman
D. emphasize the importance of appearance
(分析:考生若沒有時間看整個文章,但只要看到第一段最后一句話:But in the executive circle, beauty can become a liability. 第二段第一句話:While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder, it is harmful to a woman. 考生亦能選出正確答案項A。)
例(2) The main idea of this passage is that _____ 。(1991年6月六級題40)
A. better use of greenspace facilities should be made so as to improve the quality of our life
B. attention must be directed to the improvement of recreative possibilities。
C. the urban environment is providing more recreation activities than it did many years ago.??
D. priority must be given to the development of obligatory activities。
(分析:此題主要考某一段的中心意思?忌嗫吹搅嗽摱蔚谝痪湓挘篏reenspace facilities are contributing to an important extent to the quality of the urban environment. 即使沒有通讀全段,考生也應(yīng)能選出A項為正確答案。)
(二)若針對舉例子、引用名人言論、特殊符號(如冒號、引號、破折號)后內(nèi)容出題,考生可只讀例子、名人言話、符號前后句內(nèi)容,然后符號題。
例(1) Tish Sommers argues that _____ . (1994上1月六級題28)
A. older women find it hard to escape poverty。
B. older women usually perform better in their jobs
C. the major cause of the poverty of older women is sexism
D. more people have come to believe in sexism and ageism。
(分析:考生一看到題干,迅速到文章中找到Tish Sommers 的位置,人名開頭字母大寫,容易找到,且有雙引號引用了她的原話:"When sexism meets ageism, poverty is no longer in the doorstep it moves in"?忌灰纯葱乱玫脑捈扒昂缶鋬(nèi)容,就能選出正確答案A項。)
例(2) According to Dr. David, Americans _____ . (1993年6月六級題32)
A. are ideally vigorous even under the pressure of life
B. often neglect the consequences of sleep deficit
C. do not know how to relax themselves properly
D. can get by on 6.5 hours of sleep。
(分析:考生一看到此人名字,迅速從課文中找到,然后細讀他所說的話:"people cheat on their sleep, and they don't even realize they're doing it,"says Dr. David. "They think they're key because they can get by on 6.5 hours, when they really need 7.5, eight or even more to feel ideally vigorous."只要理解了這些話,考生應(yīng)能選出B項。)
(三)如果題目只是針對某一段內(nèi)容而提問,考生可只看該段內(nèi)容即可答題,而不必等把文章全看完才做,以防到時要交卷,而能做出的題因時間不足而瞎猜。
例(1) In the first paragraph, the author gives the definitions of some terms in order to _____ 。(1996年1月六級題26) (建議:考生看完第一段就做此題,不必看后面內(nèi)容)
例(2) From the third paragraph, we can leard that _____ 。(建議:考生只看第三段,然后迅速答題。)
(四)針對詞匯題,考生可只看詞匯所在句和前后句內(nèi)容即可答題,因為對單詞字義的揣測,一般只通過單詞所在句或前后句內(nèi)容就能猜出。
例(1) The word "dubious"(Line. 2)most probably means _____ 。(1990年1月六級題33)
A.valuable B. useful C. doubtful D. helpful
(分析:對"dubious"一詞詞義的揣測,可根據(jù)該單詞所在句和其前面一句話即可猜出。Yet you will find little if anything written on what it is to be an employee. You can find a great deal of very dubious advice on how to get a job or how to get a promotion. 從這兩句可猜出dubious是含有貶義、否定語氣的,故選C。)
例(2) The word "hassles" in the passage (Line 4) probably means _____ 。(1993年6月六級題24)
A. agreements B. disadvantages C. worries D. quarrels
(分析:判斷"hassles"意思,可從該詞所在句前后句判斷出。But sharing the family home requires adjustments for all. There are the hassles over bathrooms, telephones and privacy. Some families, however, manage the delicate balancing act. But for others, it proves too difficult. 從前后句意思及介詞over, 考生可猜出"hassles"就是quarrels。)
除了掌握這些技巧,考生還需注意以下兩點:
一、考前多做準備?记皯(yīng)多做真題,嚴格按照考試時間、順序訓(xùn)練,制定好適合自己的應(yīng)試策略,確保盡量不出現(xiàn)時間不夠用的情況。
二、及時調(diào)整心態(tài)。即使時間不夠用,也不要著急,因為大多數(shù)同學(xué)在六級考試的時候都有時間不夠用之感,要有“我做不完,別人也做不完”的阿Q精神。而且我們做了這么多的訓(xùn)練,掌握了這么多的技巧,我們有足夠的底氣來相信——即使剩下的時間少,我們也依然能把題做對。
最后,祝各位考生在六級考試中取得良好的成績!
