英語四級快速閱讀的兩大技巧

1、英語四級快速閱讀的兩大技巧這個周末，四級考試就要來了，做四級的快速閱讀有什么技巧 呢。下面是YJBYS小編為大家精心搜集的一篇 英語四級快速閱讀的 兩大技巧，歡迎大家參考借鑒，希望可以幫助到大家！兩大基本考點 skimming 和scanning其實 快速閱讀 這個稱謂是對這部分題型名稱的一種誤解，甚或說是一種誤譯。實際上試題冊上所給的題型英文名稱是ReadingComprehension (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，以為單純求快就可以萬事大吉，殊不知這其中是另有隱情。Skimming 略讀略讀，顧名思義就是

2、要求考生在較短時間內(nèi)把握住文章某個段 落的主題思想。我們首先來看一下2010年6月份快速閱讀第一題：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

3、來說快速閱讀的第一題往往是針對文章的開頭部分。以該 題為例，基本上所有考生都能夠定位到第一段?？墒堑谝欢蔚降讘?yīng)該 怎么讀就成了個大問題。A few months ago, it wasn t unusual for 47-year-old CarlaToebe 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

4、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.誠然，從頭到尾快速讀完確實是個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。換個角度來說，如果每個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必將超過15分鐘的大限。其實大部分文章的段落重點

5、 或者說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-constantcomplaints from her four daughters before she realized she had a problem (直到她的四個女兒開始不斷發(fā)出抱怨的時候她在開 始意識到自己出問題了)就是答案所在位置。故而選擇 A選項。再看2009年6月的快速閱讀第六題：6. What did Dale think of Mindsets LLC s workshop?A

6、) It was well-intentioned but poorly conducted.B) It tapped into the executives full potential.C) It helped him make fair decisions.D) It met participants diverse needs.這道題在當年得分率非常低。原因就在于這道題對應(yīng)的可能段 落有兩段而不是一段（省略號表示段落略去部分，下文同此例）：I had a management position open in my department ;and the two finalists w

7、ere a man and a woman . Had I not attended this workshop , I would have automatically assumed the man was the best candidate because the position required quite a bit of extensive travel . Dale s assumptions are another example of the well-intentioned but incorrect thinking that limits an organizati

8、on s ability to tap into the full potential of a diverse workforce .I learned from the class that instead of imposing my gender biases into the situation , I needed to present the full range of duties, responsibilities and expectations to all candidates and allow them to make an informed decision .

9、Dale credits the workshop , because it helped me make decisions based on fairness .這道題目的要求更高?？忌粌H要知道重點在兩個段落的首末 句上，還需要結(jié)合題目所問，對這四個句子孰輕孰重作出預先判斷， 然后再進行閱讀。題目問的是Dale對這個研討班的看法。據(jù)此看來 一段第一句無效，因其起始部分講到的是 Dale在公司的position（職 位）。同樣該段末句也無效， Dale s assumptions 講的是Dale原先 的一些錯誤想法和做法。很可惜的是當年不少考生都在這兩個句子上 耗費了大量時間，甚至還有個別

10、考生通讀該段，這樣自然是得不償失。再來看下一段的第一句，I learned from the class thatinstead of imposing my gender biases into the situation（ 我通過 知道不能把自己的性別比、偏見帶到工作中去）。這句話有用嗎？顯然 也不行。因為它所講到的是 Dale在學習班里的收獲。最后一句說道 because it helped me make decisions based on fairness （因為這個研討班讓我能做出公平的選擇）。讀到這里第六題的答案也就順 理成章的選擇C 了。2010年6月第七題：7. Andre

11、w Heidrich now visits websites online gaming addiction to.A) improve his online gaming skillsB) curb his desire for online gamingC) show how good he is at online gamingD) exchange online gaming experience這道題和上述第六題頗有些相像。它對應(yīng)的段落, 了 Heidrich這個人物的段落，同樣也是兩段：that discuss也就是出現(xiàn)administratorabout two toAndrew

12、 Heidrich, an education network from Sacramento, plays World of Warcraft forfour hours every other night, but that s nothing compared with the 40 to 60 hours a week he spent playing online games when he was in college. He cut back only after a full-scale family intervention（干預），in which relatives to

13、ld him he dgained weight.There s this whole culture of competitionthat suckspeople in with online gaming, said Heidrich, now a father of two. People do it at the expense of everythingthat was aconstant in their lives. Heidrich now visits websites that discuss gaming addiction regularly to remind myself to keep my love for online games in check.如果讀者朋友掌握了我們剛才所講的方法自然就會覺得這題就 比較輕松了。同樣是抓住兩個段落的四個重點句，然后根據(jù)題干進行判斷。分析過程這里就不再贅述。很明顯第二段最后一句是符合要求 的。 Heidrich now visits websites that discuss gaming addiction regularly to remind myself to keep my love for online games in check. （Heidirch現(xiàn)
