CET-4閱讀概述楊?lèi)?ài)華第一節(jié)四級(jí)閱讀的相關(guān)考綱

大學(xué)英語(yǔ)四級(jí)考試閱讀理解部分要求考生“能基本讀懂一般性題材的英文文章，閱讀速度達(dá)到每分鐘70詞。能基本讀懂國(guó)內(nèi)英文報(bào)刊，掌握中心意思，理解主要事實(shí)和有關(guān)細(xì)節(jié)。能讀懂工作、生活中常見(jiàn)的應(yīng)用文體的材料。能在閱讀中使用有效的閱讀方法?！彼募?jí)閱讀的題型

閱讀理解部分包括三項(xiàng)任務(wù):15選10，信息匹配及常規(guī)閱讀。所占分值比例共計(jì)35%，考試時(shí)間總長(zhǎng)40分鐘。

15選101篇15選10填空8分鐘10*0.5=5%信息匹配1篇句與段落匹配15分鐘10*1=10%常規(guī)閱讀2篇單項(xiàng)選擇17分鐘10*2=20%選詞填空題篇章長(zhǎng)度為200-250詞，測(cè)試考生對(duì)篇章語(yǔ)境中的詞匯理解和運(yùn)用能力。要求考生閱讀被刪去了10個(gè)詞匯的短文，并能從文后所給的15個(gè)詞匯中選擇正確的詞匯填空，使短文復(fù)原。信息匹配部分采用1篇較長(zhǎng)篇幅的文章，長(zhǎng)度約為1000詞。共15個(gè)段落，分別用A-O標(biāo)記，文章后面給出10道小題，題號(hào)分別用46-55標(biāo)出。要注意的是：信息匹配題不是按照順序出題原則，也就是說(shuō)第一題答案可能在最后一段，最后一題答案可能在第一段。另外有的段落沒(méi)題目的，有的段落可能多題目，因此需要格外注意。這部分主要測(cè)試學(xué)生通過(guò)略讀與查讀技巧快速獲取信息的能力。常規(guī)閱讀部分要求考生閱讀二篇長(zhǎng)度為300-350詞的短文。測(cè)試考生在不同層面上的閱讀理解能力，包括理解主旨大意和重要細(xì)節(jié)、綜合分析、推測(cè)判斷以及根據(jù)上下文推測(cè)詞義等。小測(cè)試對(duì)你來(lái)講，四級(jí)閱讀最難的地方在哪里？1.生詞太多，背不忘，影響了閱讀理解。2.文章題材不熟悉，導(dǎo)致很多內(nèi)容看不懂。3.篇章信息把握不住，看完和沒(méi)看差不多，

看了也說(shuō)不清本文到底在講什么。4.做題技巧不夠，常常文章能看懂，但題

做不對(duì)。Youneverseehim,butthey'rewithyoueverytimeyoufly.Theyrecordwhereyouaregoing,howfastyou'retravelingandwhethereverythingonyourairplaneisfunctioningnormally.Theirabilitytowithstandalmostanydisastermakesthemseemlikesomethingoutofacomicbook.They'reknownastheblackbox.57.Whatdoestheauthorsayabouttheblackbox?

結(jié)論要想在四級(jí)閱讀中取得高分，必須具備以下能力：1.了解四級(jí)的測(cè)試題型及應(yīng)試技巧。2.了解四級(jí)文章的段落結(jié)構(gòu)、類(lèi)型及作用。3.能夠依據(jù)原文從四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中甄別正確答案。第二節(jié)

四級(jí)說(shuō)明文的三要素What---主題陳述，文章的中心思想。Why---原因說(shuō)明，即關(guān)于主題的原因分析。How---細(xì)節(jié)描述，如做事方法或舉例證明。無(wú)論是文章本身，還是文章的組成段落，基本由此三要素構(gòu)成。第三節(jié)

四級(jí)說(shuō)明文的篇章結(jié)構(gòu)主題導(dǎo)入—引入主題。文章主體---細(xì)節(jié)說(shuō)明。結(jié)論或結(jié)語(yǔ)部分—重述主題。四級(jí)文章的結(jié)構(gòu)大同小異，區(qū)別在于文章類(lèi)型不同，主體部分的重點(diǎn)內(nèi)容及走向會(huì)略有不同。所以，要求考生一要了解說(shuō)明文的類(lèi)型及走向特點(diǎn)，二要深挖主體部分及各段落說(shuō)明的主要細(xì)節(jié)或重點(diǎn)內(nèi)容。對(duì)主體段落及重點(diǎn)細(xì)節(jié)的理解，決定了四級(jí)閱讀的成敗。文章主體---細(xì)節(jié)說(shuō)明。第四節(jié)
