英語(yǔ)四級(jí)閱讀的解題技巧

  很多小伙在大學(xué)的時(shí)候都會(huì)參加英語(yǔ)四級(jí)考試，雖然相對(duì)于英語(yǔ)六級(jí)來(lái)說(shuō)，四級(jí)比較簡(jiǎn)單。但是很多小伙伴在做閱讀理解題的時(shí)候還是覺(jué)得有難度，那是因?yàn)榇蠹覜](méi)有掌握到閱讀理解的解題技巧。在做閱讀題的時(shí)間第*時(shí)間要先讀題，先把題目過(guò)濾一遍，然后閱讀文章，找到重點(diǎn)。當(dāng)然，豐富的閱讀經(jīng)驗(yàn)也很重要，所以平時(shí)的積累一定要重視。下面，我們?cè)敿?xì)來(lái)了解怎么解答閱讀題吧。
  兩大基本考點(diǎn)——skimming和scanning
  其實(shí)“快速閱讀”這個(gè)稱(chēng)謂是對(duì)這部分題型名稱(chēng)的一種誤解，甚或說(shuō)是一種誤譯。實(shí)際上試題冊(cè)上所給的題型英文名稱(chēng)是Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)——閱讀理解(略讀與跳讀)。不少考生正是由于受到所謂“快速”兩字的誤導(dǎo)，以為單純求快就可以萬(wàn)事大吉，殊不知這其中是另有“隱情”。
  Skimming——略讀
  略讀，顧名思義就是要求考生在較短時(shí)間內(nèi)把握住文章某個(gè)段落的主題思想。我們首先來(lái)看一下2010年6月份快速閱讀第*題：
  1. What eventually made Carla Toebe realize she was spending too much time on the Internet?
  A) Her daughter’s repeated complaints.
  B) Fatigue resulting from lack of sleep.
  C) The poorly managed state of her house.
  D) The high financial costs adding up.
  一般來(lái)說(shuō)快速閱讀的第*題往往是針對(duì)文章的開(kāi)頭部分。以該題為例，基本上所有考生都能夠定位到第*段?？墒堑?段到底應(yīng)該怎么讀就成了個(gè)大問(wèn)題。
  A few months ago, it wasn’t unusual for 47-year-old Carla Toebe to spend 15 hours per day online. She’d wake up early, turn on her laptop and chat on Internet dating sites and instant-messaging programs – leaving her bed for only brief intervals. Her household bills piled up, along with the dishes and dirty laundry, but it took near-constant complaints from her four daughters before she realized she had a problem.
  誠(chéng)然，從頭到尾“快速”讀完確實(shí)是個(gè)辦法——而且也是絕大多數(shù)考生使用的辦法，但這樣做完全失去了skimming的意義。換個(gè)角度來(lái)說(shuō)，如果每個(gè)題目都像這樣把段落讀完，那么十道題加在一起所積累的閱讀量勢(shì)必將超過(guò)15分鐘的大限。其實(shí)大部分文章的段落重點(diǎn)或者說(shuō)中心都集中在首末句上。略讀所要考察的就是考生是否敢于大膽抓住首末句，拋去段落中間的無(wú)效部分，從而迅速找到答案。以本題而言，該段最后一句，尤其是but之后的“it took near-constant complaints from her four daughters before she realized she had a problem”(直到她的四個(gè)女兒開(kāi)始不斷發(fā)出抱怨的時(shí)候她在開(kāi)始意識(shí)到自己出問(wèn)題了)就是答案所在位置。故而選擇A選項(xiàng)。
